HEADCANONS
- her actual name is oretta-laetitia foscari, but she’s changed it throughout the centuries to blend in, and because it’s a whole mouthful. she’s a bastard child of history’s longest reigning doge of venice, francesco foscari. her mother was a servant in his household.
- because of this connection and the fact that the doge couldn’t be bothered to be too discrete about his affairs anyways, she grew up amongst venice’s most noble and wealthy families. pretty dresses, huge villas, the whole thing.
- she was always a very curious and opinionated child, though she used to be more quiet about those opinions when she was very young. after all, it wasn’t a ladies place to speak out. especially not when that lady was a bastard and black.
- through the years she started to rebel more and more though. she didn’t like the system that she was stuck in. she often sneaked books out of the library to read, or would talk about ‘unladylike’ things like gosh darn science with her friends (often other daughters of servants, bastard or not).
- to make matters worse, she discovered that she liked girls the same way she liked boys. and while she was discovering that, her family decided that it was time for her to marry. they didn’t put too much pressure on her though, since she was only a bastard. her father couldn’t really use her as a political pawn. for a few years she could avoid any marriage plans.
- at 22 she fell for a girl named cezilia, the daughter of a brazilian merchant who had been traveling around europe and was now staying in venice for a while. the feeling was mutual, but of course they had to hide their relationship. it worked for a about 4 months. eventually they grew careless, and were discovered.
- a witchhunt ensued. orla and cezilia had planned to pack some belongings and then meet eachother at night on a deserted dock to flee the city by boat. orla waited and waited, but cezilia never showed. up until this day she still does not know what exactly became of her love. some said she was hung, some said she was burned at the stake, some said they never found her either, etc etc. all stories vary, but orla fears the worst.
- orla didn’t get very far once she got to the mainland before she got into trouble. she was hungry, she tried to steal a loaf of bread but got caught. she didn’t even really try to defend herself, beaten numb by the recent losses. then suddenly, there was a trio of women clad in white and silver coming to her aid. they took her in and it only took orla a few days to decide she wanted to join these rebellious women. she found a second home with them.
- her birthname had been leaving a bitter taste in her mouth for months after the joined the hunt. it didn’t feel like it fit her anymore, a reminder of a past life. she asked to be called orla, a nickname cezilia gave her. a way to carry the girl with her constantly.
- orla has been part of the hunt for almost 600 years now. she’s seen practically everything, and yet she can’t stop being absolutely enamoured by life on a daily basis.
- she has seen the origins of camp half blood in america, and she’s stayed there a few times already through the years. after a recent run in with a particular massive giant badger during which the injured her right leg, artemis send her to camp. now she can also keep the goddess up to date with whatever developments are happening at camp with the whole dexter business.
- she’s had quite a few wolves throughout the centuries. right now she has a three years old wolf named nani, which means “dwarves” in italian, because nani was the runt of her litter.
- when orla is off-duty, she likes to travel. she tries to go back to venice at least once a year.
POWERS
- when hunters join the hunt, they become immortal, unless they are killed in battle.
- the hunters have a silver aura and are stronger, faster, and more accurate than the average demigod, nymph or mortal.
- they carry magic silver bows, arrows, and two hunting knives, which appear whenever they are needed by the hunters. the hunters and their wolves can communicate, or at least understand each other.
- the hunters use moon water. it is a magical drink that gives them energy and power. it looks like regular water with a hint of silver. men rarely get a taste of moon water.
- they have excellent aim with their bow and arrows.
- they can talk to wild animals
