it's an unofficial rule in cabin six that even though everyone knows Annabeth breaks camp rules nightly to sneak over to cabin 3, nobody ever says anything. after suffering through the alternative when percy was missing for eight months, no one is in a hurry to keep them apart, and be on the receiving end of Annabeth's wrath.
I've seen a few of these with a daughter of Aphrodite, which don't get me wrong I've had my fair share of thoughts about. But I need more people to see this vision.
She's just my character and she doesn't have a name yet but she's been bouncing around my brain
UPDATE: her name is Katerina Martha Wayne
Basic info:
Athena knows Bruce is batman, he doesn't know she knows
Gods generally know who's who but only if like, they want to. like they can figure it out so easily but they don't go out of their way to keep track of identities unless it's relevant to them (the wonders, captain marvel, John Constantine)
Athena first got interested in Bruce as batman, but approached him as Bruce
Idk what Athena's version of a one night stand is
Idk it was a art related gala and they were at a museum or gallery or something and swapped thoughts, then idk, baby
Charachter thoughts:
Around Nico's age, Annabeths younger sister, older than Damian, is younger than duke
Black hair and grey eyes combo, so it's matching with the mandatory Wayne child colour code
Most of her godly siblings are blond so her hair is from her dad but the yes are all Athena, grey and owl or oryx like
Summer only camper, with the exception of major evens where capers would be needed such as the wars, so kinda like Percy ig
Goes to Gotham academy obv
Watched TV in various languages growing up so she can speak and understand a couple, but still dyslexic so can't read or write properly what she didn't learn
Locked in to perfect Latin after the events of hoo
Helped a lot with her french and spanish
Jason taught her how to ride a bike before he died
Tim taught her how to skateboard
She later teaches Damian how to skateboard
Refused to see any help regarding her "hallucinations" untill she hound out Harley Quinn was a psychiatrist
Cuz Harley Quinn is bad ass
Ended up going to the school counselor, hated it untill she realized she was a demigod
After that she realised what's "wrong" with her and the counselor helps her sort through emotions, tries to visit at least once a week
She doesn't think it's helping as much as it did when she was younger
Notebooks, lots and lots of notebooks
About anything, studies, ideas, interests, hobbies, random s rabbit holes she fell into
Just stacks of them filled to the brim with details, diagrams, facts, studies, sticky notes stickers references and everything she could
Has a whole section of her bookshelves with just notebooks, written in a mix of greek and English
Spent a week hyper fixating on ways to get around the "demigods can't use internet" rule
Basically she has a bunch or retro tech
A old mp3 player or Walkman that she regularly fixes up or asks cabin 9 to help improve, lots of CDs and records, has an entire dvd cabinet for movies cuz she can't download them herself
Multi talented, but in a gifted kid way, like yk that one kid in school who's seemingly in every club, activity and sport, yeah that's her
Maybe if she succeeds in enough things she'll be good enough for at least one of her parents
Most of which are just hobbies but there are a few she participates in competitively
She has her kryptonite though. You won't find her dead participating in anything theatre or literature related, would probably do great in computer science related clubs but due to her avoidance of most technology, didn't bother with it.
can play a total of 2 instruments, barely only good with piano really. if there's a spelling bee she will be conveniently sick that day,
Good at physics, okay at bio on a count that half of it is Latin and greek, for some reason is so bad at chemistry. Like she's as bad at chem, as Percy is at archery
Grew up getting told by teachers that's she's so smart and could be great if she "just put a bit of effort"
Was called lazy, a lot
Joined a play for extra credit once, it was based on Odyssey, refused to play Athena. Kept correcting inaccuracies. Teacher never asked her to join one again
Good it reminded her too much of Jason
Mathematics > language
Despite her hatred for the subject, loves the first week of English class, watching the teacher figure out how someone who was great earlier can get a c in a test for their native(?) language
"but she speaks so eloquently?"
Loves reading and languages, but only in her own time, hates them in school
Has a mix of books in English Latin and greek on her shelves, any other languages are few and far between
Fav show as a kid was Phineas and ferb, has all the songs memorised
Great at baking, mediocre at cooking
hates admitting she doesn't know something, if asked and doesn't know she will say yes, then researches like it's gonna be in her finals
Has all of epic memorised
Briefly joined the titan army before returning to fight with camp, she cried with Chris Rodriguez that night
No amount of recognition is worth the blood of those she cares for
She can still feel their blood on her hands no matter how much she scrubs them, why don't it wash away, why is it red, they were never meant to spill red blood
Has so many bad habbits, like so many
Would probably smoke if it wasn't bad for the environment
Drinking is fine though right?
Tea > coffee, but loves both
Hates matcha, despite popular belief
Has a sweet tooth
She is holding a drink in 98% of the photos she's been in excluding promotional work
Has been the ambassador of many brands
And advertised for just as meany
She's a Wayne, there's one line on her resume and it reads "old money nepotism"
Loves fruity things both literally and figuratively
Had a crush on Percy Jackson
"I don't know why you're laughing when you're leading the Percy Jackson crush-club," - said to Nico
Promptly forgot about Percy after she saw Rachel for the first time
"couldn't she have been the one to give me a quest, why did it have to be the mummy."
Rachel agrees to come to Wayne galas now only cuz she has a friend there
They spend the entire time shit talking the guests and brainstorming ways to hide Gotham's ecosystem
#2 Poison ivy apologist, much to Bruce's chargin (did I spell that right?)
#1 Amy March defender
Spends so much time at Gotham public library, half cuz she loves reading and half cuz she can't read for shit
Babs loves her, dick thinks she might steal his sister away
Can't Google anything so that's her source of all information other than the manor library itself of course
All her teachers praise her for using such reliable and official sources for her work
She just accepts the compliment and chooses not to tell them it's her only option
If she could access any wiki she'd live there, studying them and editing them
Has a complex relationship with *checks notes* everything
Eventually figures out that her family are the bats. to her delight, none of them know this.
"Babs is oracle? Why are both oracles ginger?"
*stares down the camera* why does she have a complex relationship with oranges?
Had a crush on wonder girl (Cassie)
"I NEED to stop having crushing on my siblings s/o."
she's SCARED of oranges? ... Were talking about the fruit, right? This isn't code?
Has several mint posts in her room
"I can snack on it, they give the room a nice smell, they're pretty, and they keep spiders out, it's a win in every way," - said to leo
Like spiders I understand, but ORANGES?
"you got games on your phone?" But it's her begging Annabeth to let her use deadaluses laptop
Hot as fuck
"you blessed my ancestor?"
"why do you think you and all your siblings are this stunning?"
"only 1 of my siblings are actually related to me"
"love comes in all forms, I would know, and family is defined by more than just blood."
Her best friend is nico
Friend group = her, Nico, Will, Piper and Leo
If Jason is alive lro is gay as fuck
If he's dead Leo is the token straight friend
She had a situationship with Ethan nekamura
Hold on lemme check his age
She did not have a situationship with Ethan nekamura
Would have had unrestricted access to the internet but unfortunately she went to camp at 9 (book 2) so it didn't have that much of an impact on her cuz she's already been told to stay away before she could properly figure it out
That being said she watched everything with Tim
If she sees him watching something, especially YouTube, she'd just plop herself next to him and watch silently.
If she started crying at any time, he wouldn't say anything, but there would be a warmth wrapping itself around her
Alfred later walked past the room to find them both slumped onto each other, took a picture and put it into a personal photo album
Right under an identical one with her and Jason, there's a book instead of a laptop
Used to force Jason to read her stories
"my head hurts if I read them,"
He realises that comics are much easier due to the font and context clues from the visual art
Gets her a comic for her 8th birthday, chooses Spider-Man as a gag he never gets to give it to her
Dick ends up passing it to her and she holds onto it religiously, reads it so many times till every word and frame is ingrained in her mind even her dyslexia can't slow her down anymore
Every time she misses him she gets a new volume and spends hours flipping though it, despite having arachnophobia, Spider-Man is her favourite
Sometimes she forces Bruce to come with her, because they're both hurting and they both don't know what to do with the pain
After she came back from camp she got herself a greek copy of all his favourite books to read and annotated them herself
Watched the sound of music once for a family movie night, even dick was there he didn't even argue with Bruce this time
It's her favourite movie
Bruce heard it's gonna be in theaters for a while, he's planned to take her to see it together
Was chilling with Duke in his room once and learned she doesn't need access to the internet in order to play Minecraft as long as she sticks to single player worlds
She immediately drags him to her room and makes him install it on her pc for her
"Why isn't your pc connected to the WiFi?"
"Don't worry about it."
After messing around with it (and becoming obsessed), she infects the rest of her (godly) siblings
*while redesigning Olympus*
Annabeth: hold on let me check the blueprints
*loads in her creative world*
Cabin nine hear about this
An anonymous party has revolutionised redstone!
These events are completely unrelated
Was very confused when she came back after her second war only to see she has a new sibling (atp she should expect it)
Damian saw her as a challenge at first
Unfortunately she is used to mildly threatening children who use swords
He Enters her room for the first time and sees she has a few weapons displayed on a wall
It's mostly decorative but she can fight with all of them, just in case
He makes a comment, shenanigans ensue
Bruce thinks he's hallucinating because why is Damian following his sister around like a duckling when he was declaring war just yesterday
Overhead someone from her year making racist comments about damian
She beat the ever loving crap out of them
She got a suspension and a bike that day
Looks so much like Martha Wayne, and when she is introduced in her first gala she is adopted by all the grannies of Gotham high society
Was raised with "the the proper etiquette and decorum expected of a Wayne heiress"
However she was also raised with Jason dick and the chaos that is camp
it only took one kidnapping for all of Gotham to learn that
Weapon of choice is either twin swords, javelin or spear
Her and Damian teach each other how to fight with their respective weapons of choice
Jason came back while she was at camp, so when she came back they forgot to tell her/didn't know how to tell her
She went to get a midnight snack a week into her return and saw him raiding the cookie jar
She ran back to camp and stayed there 2 weeks before coming back
She would have stayed the entire year if it weren't for school
Dick taught her gymnastics
Listens to fairuz, she bought a vinyl once impulsively and promptly fell in love
Damian almost got whiplash when he heard the music coming from her room
She forces Damian to teach her Arabic
Entered the barn one day and saw Goliath, decided if Damian can keep him then she can keep a Pegasus
The barn is now home to Tiana the Pegasus
A few months later Mrs O'Leary is an occasional resident as they realise it's probably the best place for a dog her size to stay
She alternates between the manor and the underworld
That's all I have for now, there's so many more head cannons and thoughts but none of them are turning into coherent words right now
Thoughts and constructive criticism is appreciated btw <33
children of athena are all freakishly tall bc even athena is freakishly tall for a god and she towers over a lot of olympus (bar the older, bigger gods like zeus, hera, poseidon, etc.) so now a lot of her kids tower over a lot of camp
• they help with any school/summer work when a camper needs it.
• they also offer a free tutoring service to other campers.
• they have a long list of study tips for demigods, including what has worked for them to help focus their adhd in school (as most demigods struggle with remaining on task in work environments).
• they secretly love police procedural/detective shows. law & order, criminal minds— you name it, they watch it. and there's always a "friendly" competition to see who can solve the crime first.
• someone engineered glow-in-the-dark paper for late-night studying and planning. they always have a huge supply.
• they have a pet owl that they all take turns feeding and looking after.
• they help organise camp events that aren't run by chiron and they have a calendar full of birthdays and dates that are special to other campers.
• they are the only people on earth to have discovered a constantly comfortable reading position.
• they all start to feel slightly nauseated if they're in water for too long. showers, the lake, a pool, the rain— any water. this comes from athena's rivalry with poseidon. the only way for it to be neutralized is if they are in the presence of a friendly child of poseidon.
• some of them trap spiders and use them in experiments. this helps them gain more knowledge, combat their fears, and take revenge on these spiders all at the same time.
• they aren't normally ones to break rules. however, they rarely go to bed on time. when other campers ask them why, they simply laugh and say, "we're all night owls." (get it? i’ll stop. 😔)
• they aren't scared of normal horror movies. they usually just laugh at how frustratingly stupid the characters are. the only movies that make them scared are ones where spiders are involved.
• they take monopoly way too seriously and take it as a personal affront that they keep losing to the hermes cabin.
• they have a website that you can only view inside of camp half-blood. it’s sort of a virtual log book, which makes it easy for the kids that have been away during the year or on quests to catch up on what they’ve missed.
cabin exterior
• their cabin is designed in a classic greek architectural style, reminiscent of the parthenon, with tall, elegant columns supporting a triangular pediment.
• the cabin itself is made of grey, marble-like stone. the stone is etched with intricate designs and ancient greek patterns.
• the exterior features intricate carvings and statues of owls. they are perched on the roof of the cabin and integrated into the designs on the columns.
• carvings of books and scrolls are incorporated into the exterior design, highlighting the importance of knowledge.
• celestial bronze shields and pieces of armor are displayed on the inside and on the outside of the cabin. these items are both decorative and functional, ready for use if needed.
cabin interior
• their cabin gives off industrial vibes with its marble and concrete exterior.
• this is balanced out with beautiful ornate rugs, cozy woven blankets, and hardwood (olive obviously) floors.
• two words: organized. chaos.
• they have a caffeine station for pulling all-nighters or for long afternoons of studying, debating, and inventing.
• their cabin always smells like peppermint oil because spiders hate it.
• they have floor to ceiling bookshelves and boxes of rolled blueprints EVERYWHERE.
• they all have a customizable personal space with a bed, a desk with adjustable lighting, and ample storage for personal items and projects.
• personal areas feature soundproofing options to allow for quiet studying or rest amidst the bustling cabin environment.
cabin traditions
• they have debate nights at camp half-blood that get more and more heated until the cabins start watching the two opposing sides instead of listening to the actual debate.
• they even have debate nights in their own cabin. huge cups of coffee are passed around as the "discussion" of the day begins, growing louder and louder as time goes by. books are pulled from the shelves, laptops are opened and the most obscure sources are cited just to prove the most minor points.
