Personality: She is always an optimistic and likes to keep things lighthearted and always will lift the spirits of others in need. She is always the light in dark places. Yet she is always known as to be incredibly sardonic by her fellow hunters, while being professional. Like a cat she can love you one moment and want to scratch you the next. And no one ever really knows where she falls.
Her entire physique is nimble and yet strong. This woman doesn't walk, she struts. Back straight and head held high with sparking eyes and wide smile, every aspect of her body language seeping with confidence and breathing incredible potential that does not go unused, one of the fundamentals she was taught by Circe, when she took he under her wing. Because of this, Rhodes appears very driven in every aspect of her life to get what she wants with uncanny resiliency that will rarely abandon her cause.
Evasive and unreadable. Rhodes is a true daughter of a magician. She bluffs, calculates and folds through life. She tends to speak cryptically and one can never be sure if she is being sincere or sarcastic. For this she is a hard person to gain the trust of because that's the way her father taught her to be. The number one rule, was to always keep the prestige a secret.
Rhodes is genuinely a very kind person although she can be very wary around new people. She has never been one willing to trust, but she has always been willing to try new things. Adventuress through and through, she has never been afraid to exhibit her talent and from her young years was constantly on stage. Having been brought up in a sideshow, essentially, Rhodes has learned to look beyond and praise talent where there is talent and leave out the insecurities.
There is a sense of wonderment and investigative curiosity from her. Rho is extremely curious about things. She will stop at nothing to get to the end of the matter and does so with finesse. She likes to play the detective, and because of her driven persona, she will try get to the bottom of things. Being a natural show-off, She’s not one to keep quiet unless it’s opportune though, and to that, she’d like to let everyone know her presence. But when needed, she will play in the background until it’s appropriate for her to make her quips and comments.
She has a wicked temper though. If she is crossed all the cunning in her mind will come to the surface and try to plot revenge, or at least threatening it. She doesn’t tolerate backstabbers or with being treated wrongly said this she always tries to reason with people but will never back down from a fight, especially if her pride is at stake.
Having based herself on the assumption that no-one will live as long as she, she doesn’t like to get attached to anyone outside the hunters circle, after seeing people that she loved leave her behind.
A nut freak for cleanliness, she takes special care in always keeping her surroundings neat and orderly, sometimes bordering on Obsession-Compulsion. She would be extremely bothered and would not be able to concentrate on things if everything around her is dirty and messy. Neurotic, Rhodes won’t be able to sleep nor eat with those thoughts of disarrayed things disturbing her focus. Most often than not, when this happens, she’d end up getting herself a broom and a dustpan or whatever cleaning device needed, and tidy up the cluttered areas. She is the reason why the Huntresses cabin is immaculately spotless. Rhodes also has the tendency to count her steps when she walks.
History:
Stepdaughter of the great Vanya 'Zatara', who some say was as good, if not better, then Houdini himself, Rhodes was exposed to the world of magic and its tricks since she was born back in the year 1880. She learned that there was more to magic than smoke and mirrors—and that there was such a thing as real magic.
Rhodes grew up in a world of wonderment completely part of her family’s business amongst very strange individuals, some weirder than others, but it gave her a level of tolerance for different people that one wouldn’t expect from a girl of her striking characteristics, as it was evident from even such a young age what kind of beauty she would grow up to be. Rhodes was quite an excitable girl, and she never seemed to settle in one place, considering she and her family had to travel a lot in the gypsy circus.
She was always fascinated with magic, following the routines of some of the other performers, and then as she would do her chores, she took to a particularly strange hobby: card tricks and the well known apparition and disappearing acts with the rabbit and the hat. Rhodes never had a real training with the magic stuff. However, she had the spark of real talent. It was not surprising that she had a quick hand because she had the blood of Circe, flowing in her veins.
When she was 9, a harpy disguising as one of the audience came to attack the girl. The circus people had helped kill the monster, and Rhodes had barely cheated death. When she asked her father, she was told of a story that, at first, she did entirely believe.
Rhodes found out that her father, Vanya, had an affair with a god before. Some time ago, before Rhodes was born, Vanya was a thief like most gypsies. While the circus had performed and enchanted the crowd, he would roam around, stealing wallets and money from unsuspecting victims. She has been doing that for quite a while, and not long afterwards, she had caught the eye of Circe, who at that time was watching him amusedly. Things started from there and caught on. He was young and handsome. She was attractive and powerful and playful. A reckless act that night. and a few months later Rhodes was conveived.
After that fateful instance, Circe hadn’t bothered to show her face again. But when she finally gave birth to their daughter, she had appeared and had told her of her immortality. Deciding that circe could not provide the father figure their child needs, Vanya married a fellow gypsy, Delilah.
Rhodes remembered searching the face of Vanya for any sign of the story not being true, but the kid got nothing. Suddenly, in the darkness of the shadows, Circe appeared and offered to take the now ten year old girl to her Camp Half Blood to train her and educate her with the needed skills to combat monsters. He had claimed her personally, accompanied by a satyr, and a winged shoe appeared on top of Rhodes’ head when her mother finally recognized her as her own child. After much questioning and negotiation, Rhodes’ stepmother and father agreed since it would be in the best interest for their daughter and she would be safe from any of his adversaries- the world of a magician was always a tremulous journey, and a child shouldn’t always have to move around like a globetrotter. Seeing what was best for their little girl, her father and stepmum said goodbye and parted from her headed to America, a place where he could become something more.
During her 18th birthday, Lady Artemis had recognized the girl’s gift in swiftness and agility, and offered her a spot in the Huntresses’ cabin, to which Rhodes readily accepted.
The year now is 2010, but Rhodes is still residing there.
