Celebrity Claim: Kenton Duty
Looks:: West has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. He doesn’t have a beard or hairy arms. For this he often gets made fun of by the other satyrs. West claims he’ll grow into it. His horns hardly poke out from the top of his head. He keeps his hair some what long so you are unable to see them. West doesn’t like wearing “normal clothes” He only wears human clothes when he is out protecting a demi-god or searching for one. When he is at camp West proudly wears a tan tunic that he made himself. He is also normally seen carrying his reed pipes with him.
Personality:: West is a ball of excitement. He’s get excited easily and is very much all about having fun. He stutters when he gets over excited and starts to twitch a little. There is so much energy built up inside of West that often he has to expel it in some way. Don’t be surprised if he talks your ear off a mile a minute. Even West is a fun loving satyr; he takes his job as a Searcher seriously. When it comes to protecting a demi-god West goes into professional mode. It can be scary at how dead serious West can become when he was laughing a minute before. West is still very young for a satyr and is very naïve.
He doesn’t understand certain things or even concepts, mostly human concepts. Westley doesn’t like human behavior or ideas. He is often upfront with how he feels about humans. He doesn’t have hate toward them, but he is clear about not liking how they live or act. He absolutely hates pretending to be human but does so because it is his job and others need him. For being young West does a good job of thinking about others before himself. He is very innocent but there is a glint in his eyes that tells people he has seen some things in his life.
He has guilt on his conscious for not being able to save a demi-god who he was bringing to camp last year. Westley gets made fun of by the other satyrs time after time. He tries to not let it bother him, but it does. Westley still talks to his mother and sings to her often. He believes she resides by any body of water, but mostly he sits down at the beach and plays his reed pipe.
Family::
Petros Brooke –Father (deceased)
Lilina Brooke (deceased)
History::Westley was born to Petros Brooke and Lilina Brooke. They originally lived in Greece where they were both born and raised. However when it came to the search for Pan, Petros couldn’t stand to not be apart of the search any longer and left his wife with baby Westley to look for the Nature God. After four years and no word from Petros, Lilina had to believe her husband was not coming back. She packed up and the two of them moved to the States where the majority of their kind was. To remain close to the Gods where Lilina felt safest they lived in Central Park for about four years. There was still no word about Petros and monsters seemed intent on trying to destroy the home Lilina had created for her and her son. Lilina ran into another satyr was told about Camp Half-Blood a safe place for demi-gods and mythical creatures.
Since then, Westley and his mother called Camp Half-Blood their home. As ayoung satyr living in forest in Camp Half-Blood Westley aspired to become a Searcher and one hoped to go in search of Pan himself. His mother did not like the idea of her son leaving to seek Pan knowing that her own husband had not come back such a journey. Lilina never told Westley what happened to his father, all he knows is that his father left and never returned. He had no idea that he went looking for Pan. Lilina saw how much it meant the to young Westley and didn’t have the heart to tell him no. She kept the secret for another fifteen years. Westley became one of many satyrs who went out in search of Demi-Gods. He hated pretending to be human right away believing it was degrading. Still, he went off to protect Demi-Gods all over the country and bring them to Camp safely.
Three years ago when Grover Underwood claimed he witnessed the death of Pan, Westley was heartbroken and it was then that his mother told him the truth about his father. At first Westley didn’t believe either of them. Westley still fully thought Pan was out there and even though it made sense, Westley continued to believe that his father was happy with another satyr family. Westley would much rather believe that than think his father was dead. During the Battle of Manhattan, Westley was forced to believe that Pan was truly dead. He also had to accept that his father was not ever coming back. Westley stayed at Camp Half-Blood during the battle but his mother Lilina went off to try and help. She didn’t come back. Westley is still saddened by what happened to Pan and his father, but he pretends as if his mother never left him. He will sit by the ocean and talk to her. He sometimes believes he can see her. He’ll play his reed pipes and sing to her.
Last year Westley failed to bring back a demi-god for the first time. He was normally good with bringing them back safely but they chased by two hellhounds and the demi-god, a young man stopped to try and fight them off and way over taken. Westley fled back to Half Blood Hill and made it across the property line before the hellhounds could get him. He made it out with a few scratches and a broken wrist. Westley regrets not being able to save the Demi-God. Since then Westley takes his job all the more seriously. Westley has been somewhat out casted from the other satyrs for a number of reasons. The fact that he talks to himself (his mother), and because he doesn’t have as much hair as the others gives the other satyrs just cause to pick on him besides the fact that he failed to save a demi-god. He is small for his age and tries not to let it show that the teasing bothers him. That is why Westley can be mostly found alone.
