Personality: The stereotypical Aphrodite girl isn’t what Jolie is. She’s not stuck up, and not very vain. Most of the time, she generally is laid back. Jolie see’s the beauty in people, inside and out. Even if they’re the cruelest person on campus, she can find something amazing about them. Generally, when someone’s rude, she tries to not find the good in them, but ends up doing it anyway out of habit. She was raised to treat others like you would treat anyone else. She’ll show a fellow peer the same respect that she’d show a teacher, short and simple. Basically, Jolie lives by the policy of, “If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you”, only, either way, she’s nice to you. Unless you’re one of those mass murder type people, then she’ll just ignore you and hope she isn’t your next target.
Generally, Jolie isn’t easily swayed. Sure, she’ll give you the shirt off her back every once in a while, break up a fight or two, but get her to do something she doesn’t want to do, and she’ll refuse until a valid point has been given. Or, well, for her fellow Aphrodite kids, what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her. Just as long as someone isn’t getting her in trouble, she’s fine. Otherwise, they can do whatever without her. If it’s not her problem, it’s not her problem. She’ll break up a fight or two if she has too, but otherwise, she’ll stay clear of trouble.
There aren’t a lot of things that make her mad, but if it’s one thing that makes her mad, it’s when people think she’ll do something just because she’s a daughter of Aphrodite. She’s not the first to fight, but that doesn’t mean she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. If something needs to be done, Jolie will do it, but if it involves fighting, it’s easy to count her out. A pacifist at heart, she’d rather people solved things through words rather than beat the living tar out of each other. Fighting is one of the few things that do make her mad. The other, is when people show no respect to others. She’ll try her hardest to be nice to that person at first, but after a while, she’ll just give up and not talk to them.
Jolie’s biggest flaw, probably, would be her ability to love more than hate. No matter how cruel the person is, she can never bring herself to genuinely hate someone. As much as she’d love to hate someone, she just can’t. It annoys her to no end. Like many other people, she’s not perfect. If she’s annoyed with someone, she tends to get snappy. Snappy to the point where, if annoyed to a breaking point, might actually slap someone.
A strength that Jolie has, is designing. Whether it is outfits, or a dorm room, she can design things for it. If it can be designed, she’ll design it. In her downtime she can be found flipping through home improvement magazines or furniture magazines, thinking up new ideas while listening to a bit of Jack Johnson or Dave Matthews Band. Jolie likes to stay busy, and designing things helps with that. Sometimes, she will pull involuntary all nighters, not for school work, but for anything else that’s kept her busy. Either she has something to do, or she doesn’t. It has to be one or the later, or else she’ll start going crazy with the mixed up feelings of having to do something and having to do nothing at all for anything.
History: Aphrodite met Jonathan on, yep, Valentine’s day. He had just ditched his friends in order to get past the teasing of having the last name Valentine and it being Valentine’s Day. They bumped into each other on the street, and hit it off right away. Things went great with the two, until, the day he found out that not only was he dating a goddess but the fact that she was carrying his child. They had only been dating for five months when he found out. Sure enough, months later, there was a little baby girl, and a missing goddess of a mother. Jonathan was happy about the baby, but couldn’t help but feel betrayed for Aphrodite leaving. He knew she had to, but a note or anything would’ve been nice. Thankfully, she had told him about a place where their daughter could go to for safety. Their daughter’s name? Jolene, or, “Jolie”.
Knowing that his daughter was a demigod, he wasn’t quite sure how well she’d do at a normal school. So, he home schooled her, since, well, he had some groupie tendencies. Jonathan loved music, and wanted his daughter to grow up listening to it, mostly, live music. He had a trailer, and he’d drive across the country to go to concerts, dragging Jolie along, all the while trying to teach her what she needed to know, and whatever else he thought was valuable in life. Such as showing people respect, helping others, things like that. By nature, he was a nice guy, and all he hoped for was that his daughter, demigod or not, upheld the same beliefs he did. So, while trying to give her something of an education, he made sure that she always upheld the golden rule, helped people out whenever they could, etc. If a band needed help unloading equipment, and he was there, he’d make Jolie help him help them. If someone needed a place to sleep for the night, he’d make her help him cook for their new guest.
Of course, as the years went along, the older Jolie grew. People were always telling him how beautiful his daughter was, how fortunate he was to have her, comments of the like. After a while, it became apparent that he was going to have to tell her about the whole demigod thing, and get her to Camp Half Blood. So, on her eleventh birthday, he told her that they were going to a special camp. On the way, he explained everything that he knew about already, while other things she’d have to figure out on her own.
Soon, they arrived near the camp, and Jonathan left Jolie. It was a bit of a walking distance, but sure enough, she got to Camp Half Blood, getting claimed the moment she walked past the border. And for a few years, she stayed at Camp Half Blood, until, that is, the Academy opened up. Jolie had never been to a school, and thought it would be interesting to go. After all, meeting new people, learning things in a school environment, and other things, it interested her. So, the moment she turned fifteen, she transferred over to the Academy, and started learning everything she could. Currently, she’s still there, and in her Junior year of high school.
