Personality: Shannon is calm and calculating, even in the face of danger. She is quiet most of the time soaking only when necessary, and analyzes her surroundings almost constantly. She is confident and a little proud, though she is respectful to authority figures and those she admires. Logical almost to a fault, her straightforward and matter-of-fact manner often leads people to believe that she is cold and uncaring.
Nevertheless, Shannon can be kind and gentle when the need arises. This hidden side of her is most often seen with young children or her closest friends. Lack of attention or emotional responses from her father made it more difficult for her to look at things from an emotional point of view as opposed to purely logical. Bitter over her father's inattentiveness, though she refuses to own up to it, she began to develop a rebellious side which showed through her habit of putting different colored streaks in her hair. A bit of a perfectionist, Shannon hates to be outdone in any way by anyone and is extremely competitive.
History: Shannon's father, an archeologist, spent most of his time on the move; from one dig site to another. Because of this, Shannon spent her first few years living with her aunt in rural West Virginia. Living out in the country shielded her from most monsters' attention and attacks were few and far between. At the age of seven, her father reclaimed her and she spent the next six years traveling the world with him. This experience coupled with her thirst for knowledge led to her becoming multilingual, she speaks Japanese, Spanish, Latin, Greek, English, Egyptian and knows American Sign Language. Once when she was eleven, at an excavation site not far from Cairo, a group of men who disapproved of the digging attacked them. Although no one died and there weren't many serious injuries, Shannon herself escaped relatively unscathed, the experience drove her to learn self defense. Learning as much as she could from the natives of the countries they visited and teaching herself the rest, she quickly became an expert in hand to hand fighting.
At thirteen, Shannon's life changed when she experienced the first monster attack that was actually recognizable as a monster. Terrified, though she refused to admit to it, she began to increase her training and became more watchful and guarded. A satyr discovered her a year later almost by accident when she and her father journeyed to West Virginia to visit her aunt. Under the guise of a school for 'accelerated learning', Shannon attended Half Blood Academy for her freshman year and has returned for her sophomore year as well.
Abilities: As with all Children of Athena, Shannon has above average intelligence. She is also an excellent strategizer and is a decent fighter.
Weaknesses: Remember that your character is part human so weaknesses are necessary. They'll have to balance out your character's strengths. Go ahead. Make it more believable.
Other Information: Shannon's preferred weapons are a sword and dagger though she is also particularly adept at hand to hand combat.
