Celebrity Claim:Ashley Greene
Looks::Katie's appearance is described as an younger version of her mother Demeter all though she doesn't resemble her a much as Persephone. Her hair is long and dark following well past her slim shoulders and down her back. She has dark chocolaty brown almond shaped eyes that are almost as dark as her hair. Her face is heart shaped and her lips are a rosy pink, matching well with her golden tanned skin which reminds people of the golden colour that wheat turns when it's ready to be harvested.
As she has a tall and slender body Katie will where longer flowing clothes of many colours usually according to the flowers that are currently in bloom or the season and she tend wear more casual clothing such as a vest top and a skirt or possibly jeans if she feels like it. This is because she isn't really one for fashion which is another way that she s the opposite of Aphrodite cabin. Upon her feet her foot wear will either be suede boots when the weather is cold or if the weather is pleasant she will where more summery shoe such as pumps preferably made out of material rather than leather.
Personality:: As in appearance Katie is much like her mother too but she isn't a whinny as her mother which is a relief to some. But she is a very generous and kind person as she would always share her lunch if her friends ever forgot there's and would never ask for anything in return. She is also quite respectful and understanding so she is good for talking your problems out to as she is usually happy to help others. Also Katie is a very passionate person as she is willing to stand up for what is close to her as she was willing to risk her life for the gods when Kronos finally attacked.
Katie is also quite a strong person and has been known to sometimes be quite bossy which in a way is good with her being lead counselor for the Demeter Cabin. But she does have a rivalry between the herself and the Stoll brothers who though it would be funny to put Easter decorations on the grass roof of her cabin. So now she is not very found of either of them for it. Also Katie can be very protective of those close to her as she will stand up for them and always be there if they need her as she hates it when she lets people down. Katie really hates letting people down as she doesn't want anything to happen to her like what happened to her mother when she lost her daughter Persephone.
Family::Father ~ Matthew Gardner
Mother ~ Demeter
Sibling ~ Persephone, Demeter Cabin
Cousins ~ Zeus, Hades and Poseidon Cabins
History::It all began when her parents met at a peace rally to save the forest from being flattened in Colorado. It was love at first site for Matthew Gardner when he saw Demeter and lucky for him she fell in love with him two. After a year long relationship, Demeter became pregnant with there daughter and left Matthew without any reason at all. Nine months later when she was born, Demeter sent her daughter down the Matthew with a letter explaining everything. When Matthew found this out he was amazed and named the little girl Katie as that had been the name Demeter had used while they was together.
So Katie Gardner grew up just her and her father since he didn't remarry so she didn't have any brothers or sisters. She lived in Colorado not too far away from the forest where her parents had meet and there back garden looked over the forest. From an early age Katie had been diagnosed with ADHA and dyslexia but her father always encouraged her to try her best despite her disadvantages. So thought out her schooling she managed to get a decent set of grades even for somebody who didn't have ADHD and dyslexia to hamper them as sometimes Katie did really find it difficult. Especially when she was just starting off at school.
But one day when Katie was elven she was walking home from school when a group of lads from her class decided to push her round because she could read and write as well as others. They knocked her down being taller than her and was about the take her bag when she yelled for them to stop. Then the roots of a tree behind the boys wrapped around their ankles and pulled them over. Katie was stunned and shock as the boys struggled with the roots. Luckily her father saw things unfold and he took Katie home where he explained to her what had happen with the tree but he didn't tell her who her Olympian parent was as he was unsure if he was aloud. Then that summer Katie was taken to camp Half-Blood.
The both Katie and her father decided that she should stay at the camp as a year rounder for her own safety. She was put in the Hermes cabin but she wasn't there for long as it soon became pretty obvious who her parent was though her look, personality and her strengths and by the end of her first summer she was claimed by Demeter as the glowing wheat shaft appeared above her head. And so she was moved into cabin four where she was glad for more space and her own bed. And the next year at camp was the year Percy Jackson arrived. Though out the years leading up to the war Katie became friend with Annabeth, Percy and Grover and was also appointed the head counselor of Demeter's cabin so when the war did come around she attended the war meetings for her cabin.
And when it was time to fight she was one of the demi-gods who went in the strawberry vans to mount Olympus to help Percy. She fought hard against Kronos and his army using her powers to grow a near-impenetrable wall of poison ivy and thorn bushes to halter the advances of many monsters. But know there war s over and she had survived and still remains a year rounder at the camp as even though her mother may not be one of the big three her mother is there sister and is still quite a powerful Olympian. But she does go and see her father from time to time like at Christmas as she loved him very dearly.

Sample RP::
Life on Camp could be quite dull at times as it wasn’t all fun and games for the the demigod in training. Especially when the Stoll brother though it was funny to play pranks on people. She had been furious at the pair the Easter they had decorated the roof of her cabin with Easter decorations because of the grass roofing. She still hadn't forgiven for that so they was still in her bad books. And what made it worse was they where the cabins councilors so they should be setting on example not pranking people. But then again this was the Hermes cabin so Katie should have seen something like that coming as she had been on camp for about seven years now.
Sighing she went over to one of the many window boxes her cabin held and looked at the beautiful flowers that flowed from it depths. At one side a few of them was starting to wilt from the summer heat so she touched there petals gently and they immediately perked back up. Katie loved her influence over plants and flowers as it meant she could bring life to the dying part of the world and help restore the wildlife where she lived as she greatly cared about the planet and she didn't want to see it destroyed. Leaving the window sill she went over to her bed and laid on top of her sleeping bag as it was indeed a hot day so she was going to take a lay down to cool off.
