Celebrity Claim: Sarah Bolger
Looks::
Her hair is brown, long and fairly straight. Her skin is rather pale - despite the time she spends in the sun - as she tends to burn instead of tan. But her milky complexion is no downfall because it helps to brighten her curious blue-gray eyes. Her other facial features are rather soft, she has full pink lips and a long nose that compliments her very well.
Dakota is rather small for a girl her age, standing only about 5'2. Her slim figure - almost stick like - helps to create the illusion that she is tall.There is nothing imposing about her, or even that exciting. She has always considered herself to be very plain.
Personality::
Dakota is extremely observant and makes sure to always know more about you then you know about her. She is a master at twisting words, which is why it's so hard to get the better of her. There is nothing she can't do when she puts her mind to it. She is overly competitive, living for a challenge, which is one of the main reasons that she joined Artemis. Dakota loves to explore which is something she loves about being a hunter. She's very brave and daring, willing to try anything for the first time. She thrives for adventures and the unknown. There's no challenge too big and no information that she can't find out when she wants too. She's a master schemer who can get herself out of any situation with her witty words.
Dakota is very relaxed and laid back most of the time. She is very rational and doesn't over react to every little situation. She is very trustworthy and sometimes extremely over protective. Dakota despises liars and back stabbers. She thinks it's so much easier to tell the truth and you shouldn't waste your time lying. As for backstabbers, she hates them almost as she hates her father.
Though not normally too hateful no one is entirely sweet. Dakota has it in her to get angry when she feels that she has been crossed. Certain people are much better at getting to her than others. She greatly dislikes to be put on the spot or anything which draws attention to her. Dakota prefers to be a valuable member in the background. She hates things which are false and not realistic.
This all links back to her insecurity. Despite knowing the reasoning and that she's not the only one, her lack of contact with her father has lead Dakota to believe she is somehow unworthy. She often questions herself, not sure if she really is good enough. She tries her hardest to hide behind her cool demeanor but sometimes it's not enough. Another thing she dislikes is love. Growing up it seemed like everyone around her was able to find it, except her. Which was odd considering who her father was. Her lonely heart was her biggest reason for joining Artemis but nobody knows that.

History::
Nothing exciting happens when you are born in St. Catherines, Ontario or at least that's what Elaina Kaleta had led her daughter Dakota to believe. What she didn't tell her is that they were actually from Bayeux, Normandy and that her father 'who didn't exist' was actually Eros, the god of passion and beauty. When Dakota was a little girl, all she wanted was to know who her father was. Her older brothers Charles and Maxim knew their father. They used to tease her, saying he ran away when he found out he was having a girl. Dakota didn't believe it until she found out who he was.
Always working, her mother was never around and s, when Dakota got in trouble, no one was there to tell her what was really going on. Because of it, she was sure she was going crazy. That didn't stop her though because even as a child she explored every where she could. In fact she tended to find trouble as often as she could. She was twelve when she found out, though she doesn't remember how. She was in a whole mess of trouble and the only thing that really mattered to her was that she got out alive. Jumping off of bridges wasn't exactly an easy thing to explain.
Feeling obligated to tell her something Elaina relayed the least amount of information of her love affair that she could. She thought that some sort of him would be enough for Dakota but she was wrong. Thirteen was a little young to be experimenting with love, but Dakota couldn't deny the pull. As time went she worked more and more to fix people up. But the more she did to help others the lonelier she began to feel. No matter what she did, she couldn't seem to shake it. She was fourteen when she took it to far and her mother sent her to Camp Half Blood. There she got all the answers she had waited. Aggravated and annoyed with her father, she did the most spiteful thing of all. No longer wishing to give love, but never receive it, Dakota promised eternal chastity to Artemis.
She has only seen her father once since then and she's not even sure he knew who she was. If he did, he didn't show it. Angry at being abandoned and annoyed by the way men had been treating her her whole life she found sanctuary as a hunter. Content with her choice Dakota hasn't looked back since.

Name/Nickname:: Indi
Roleplaying Experience:: Six Years
Sample RP::
"I hope not, it would kind of ruin you," she said with a laugh and no intention to offend him. It was true that at times he tended to be a little over the top and he had his fair share of bad habits but a mellow and happy Ghost King would be unethical. She didn't agree with a lot of things he did, but Rae liked him the way he was. "Ten? and which one am I in?" she asked with a grin. Raeleigh had her moments and she didn't doubt that not drinking around her had bothered him at some point. Rae could have been in them all and probably wouldn't have cared either way.
She hadn't really meant to call him out on it. Her insult was really directed more towards the campers than him. "I know, but what you do and what they do are entirely different. Children of the Big Three have a lot more against them." Shadow Traveling was a lot more enticing and impressive than bending light or having tough skin. Rae didn't doubt she would have done the same if she were him. She looked at him curiously, the offer was an interesting one and she hadn't really expected it. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't." Who wouldn't want to go to the underworld and leave alive? Not to mention she rather enjoyed playing poker. "Oh what a shame, I was really looking forward to meeting him," she joked. Rae had heard an awful lot about Hades over the years and she was curious to know how much of it was true.
Rae was amused that he thought Bryn was no big deal. She wasn't all that threatening but Rae didn't exactly feel like dealing with her either way. It was more trouble than it was worth in the end. "How true, I might actually pay attention to politics for once, it's always interesting with that girl," Rae laughed in agreement. A lot of the campers would live up to their potential, unfortunately it was never anything worth being.
