aphrodite cabin headcanons
valentina diaz likes to sew! she wants to be a seamstress. she really enjoys designing clothes and often makes her friends and siblings wear her designs or serve as mannequins for her to pin mock-ups onto
lacy rosenfield wears braces!
she also likes to wear those plastic-jeweled rings you'd get from like a magazine for girls or something
drew, while being a year-rounder at chb, still goes to school in brooklyn (BAG), along with lacy and sadie kane. it's on the good word of her father, who sponsors chb. argus takes them in the van every morning
mitchell looooves his starbucks. whenever he can, he loves to make a starbucks run and order the most excessively complicated drinks
lacy definitely writes everything with glitter pen exclusively
drew has some staples to her style, namely a pearl necklace she always wears, and all of her jewelry being silver. she always wears things i can best describe as a subset of the "coquette" aesthetic. pink, frilly, fitted. she has clothes that are only from high-end brands and designers and wouldn't be caught dead wearing something cheap. she just genuinely considers it degrading.
lacy and drew, while technically not related, come from closely intertwined family backgrounds. drew's father and lacy's father had been close friends for many years, and spent a few years having an affair with aphrodite. drew and lacy are effectively much more sisterly together than their other siblings. their fathers are still on good terms with the goddess, and she pays them a visit every so often.
(that also lead to lacy and drew going to the same school together)
valentina will spend hours on end hyperfocused on her latest sewing project, and her siblings will often have to tear her away from her work to get her to eat something
mitchell's mortal mum (what, you think there's any way that guy comes from a hetero background?) is stunning. gorgeous. knew her son would be bullied for being gay ever since she heard his accent and decided to raise him the best way she could. (they'd have movie nights)
mitchell definitely did choir as a kid
drew definitely owns a y2k pink flip phone with heart shaped rhinestones and a little charm attached
they probably have a burn book or like an equivalent of it in the cabin. drew writes into it about sadie like it's her fucking diary
the rest of the cabin just kinda stand around her like 🧍🧍♀️🧍♂️🧍♀️🧍🧍♀️🧍♀️ "does she know?" "does she know that's gay?" (drew, of course, is fully aware that she's sapphic, she just doesn't realize that this particular instance of her behaviour also falls under that)
it's a joke that makes a comeback every once in a while that on wednesdays they do wear pink. sometimes they decide to take it very seriously and all of them get all dressed up
drew's dad is a wealthy businessman, probably from at least two generations old money
lacy's dad is also quite wealthy, but his wealth is much newer. he probably made it himself, or his parent did.
point is that it showcases the different approaches they have to their wealth. drew, while peacockish by nature, does have the undeniable basic, but quality made pieces she owns, and carries herself with a sort of poise. lacy loves shiny things and would probably be called tacky by many people
when annabeth was redesigning the cabins, drew probably bothered her (tried to charmspeak her and then probably screamed at her) until she gave them extra space (the other cabins don't need to house nearly as many extensive wardrobes)
they are goofy and materialistic, but they also find ways to bond. in their own little ways. like playing dress to impress together, or sharing stories with the younger campers, or giving each other style advice. i think it's a type of love and looking out for each other that most of the other cabins wouldn't get.
