Personality: Aimee is outgoing and loves to have a good time. Often picked on for her small size, she has learned to fight for herself and is deadly with her knife. She can generally tell right away if she will like a person or not, her intense dark stare has been known to look right through you. Is often thought of as pushy sometimes, but in reality she is merely very shy and prefers to spend her time wandering around, looking for friends.
When living in Washington with her mom she could more often then not be found laying in their expansive backyard in the dead of a cloudless night. She has also been known to go to the local observatory, where on becoming friends with the security guard has been on many occasions able to sneak into a showing.
Her love of adventure is dwarfed only by her love of dance and music. At the top of her ballet and jazz classes she decides to take on a more challenging type of dance and tries out hip hop. With the insistence of her grandfather she takes up karate and quickly rises up to a purple belt.
Aimee is more often then not found outside. Outdoor fairs and Renaissance festivals are her favorites. Anywhere she can completely let herself go to the madness and fun she's there. She was always a bundle of energy, even at an early age. But knows when to sit down and be still when the occasion calls for it.
Any kind of music will draw her attention. Well, other then rap of course. Aimee was never very fond of rap music. But anything else and she cannot keep from dancing. Partly why her mother signed her up for so many dance lessons. That's something she thanks her mother for to this very day.
History: Born at noon on Friday, March 25 Aimee Lyn Zhou has just recently found herself an outcast by her family. Her mother, on her own was fair and reasonable, a woman born just outside of Shanghai, China and raised in Seattle, Washington. She made a promise to herself to raise her daughter the same way as herself. Caring on the same traditions and culture that she herself was raised around, and also making it no secret of her parentage . In the winter of Aimee's fifth birthday, she and her mother took a trip to a frozen lake that she had once visited as a girl and where she intended to teach Aimee to ice skate. To her horror the ice gave way and Aimee fell through. Since then she has held a deep fear of the water.
At the age of ten her mother remarried, and this became the start of her pulling away from her and the family. This was also the age where Aimee woke up a six o'clock in the morning calling her her mother. Elizabeth rushed in to see her daughter pointing to an image of a grapevine floating above her head. She knew that Aimee had finally been claimed by her father, Dionysus. In the years that followed Aimee thought it best to leave the new family.
And after tying a fellow classmate to a tree with an onslaught of vines for continually picking on her. Her decision to leave was for the best. Considering the fact that she could no longer hide her powers. A family friend, later discovered to be a satyr by the name of Rowena told both mother and daughter about a place called Half Blood Academy. A place for demigods like herself. And Rowena promised to accompany the child there for protection. The night that followed was the most eventful of Aimee's life. A loud argument between her stepfather and her mother resulted in Aimee unknowingly making him go insane.
Aimee rushed from the house and begged Rowena to take her to the Academy that instant. The trip to the academy was not uneventful to say the least.
On the way she learned to use her karate skills, mixed with a few of her dance steps to escape a lot of tough spots. One of them being making the mistake of asking for directions at a local truck stop in Nevada. Where she showed a group of ill mannered and slightly drunk truckers the literally meaning of the ballet, the Nutcracker.
From that point on she kept the pocket knife from her grandfather extremely close. Aimee learned early on that her small 5'2 inch frame would be taken for weakness and she was determined not to let anyone take advantage of that again.
Abilities:
Manipulation of Vines
Can make others go insane (If you really piss her off)
Weaknesses:
To trusting
Slightly forgetful
Can slip into her inherited madness sometimes
Other Information:
A silver locket with a vine detail on the front that she never takes off. According to her mother it was left in their mail box when she brought Aimee home from the hospital. And so she can only assume it is from the father she never meet.
