EXCALIBUR HARLOWPETROVA
Excalibur is the daughter of Hades. She is the eldest of a set of triplets and was born and raised in Los Angeles for the first thirteen years of her life. She lived with her mother, step-father, half-brother, and full siblings there. Just before she came to Camp Half-Blood, her sister Emmeline was killed. She has been in the Camp for the past three years or so.

She is not very sociable. If she is not with her brother or training, she is off somewhere with her dog Oliver. She knows herself very well and always follows her instincts. She is distrustful and cold to most. However she loves to enjoy herself. Excalibur may often stands out, however she can blend into the shadows just as easily.

FRIENDS

Excalibur's friends call her Cali, a list of people that is quite short. She is not the type of person someone would make friends with. However, for those who are her friends, she is loyal. Cali would do anything for those she loves.

LOVES

Excalibur has never been in love and does not go seeking it. She does not want someone to protect her, shield her, or shower her with affection. Cali would never go for the sweet and innocent boy. By nature she demeans others. She needs to see the other as near an equal. She may mess around with a few boys, but she would never take it seriously. I think situations like that could be interesting. If any boy showed feelings for her there is no telling how she would react. She would judge as she always does, a case by case basis.

ENEMIES

Excalibur thrives off of fear. She can be a bully and enjoys demeaning others. She could have quite a few enemies, more then any other category. She hates being wronged and will not tolerate it. She believes in justice and will constantly go for revenge. She is cold to most people, and likes to do her own thing. She views most people as inferiors, but will make an honest assessment if you show her your true colours.

[Catherine O'Reilly]

I give you my character Cat:

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 400px;] Catherine Haley O'Reilly Cat . 17 . Female . Hetrosexual . Demigod child of (Hermes), god of (Travellers, Messengers and Thieves) appearance: In terms of her appearance, Cat is very like her siblings in many ways. For a start, she has got the same crooked smile that comes across every child of Hermes whenever something worthy of the attention of a thief. This item could be anything but as long as it has caught Cat’s eye, you will find this smile across her face. If you’re lucky, you may even get a smudge of sarcasm with her smile. Then you have Cat’s upturned eyebrows and a gleam in her eye (that can usually be traced to any theft, prank or mischievous act). To round off the similarities, all of the facial traits Cat possesses have a distinct sharpness to them. Obviously with having a different mother compared to a lot of her siblings, Cat is also different in her looks. For instance, she wears her hair down past her shoulders and in no way shows signs of curls although in contrast, it is just as black as her father’s. Cat’s eyes are a distinct shade of blue, popping out of a pale complexion. Lastly, Cat stands at 5’10, making her quite tall but yet has a slender build. face claim: Liv Tyler personality: Cat, like a lot of Hermes' children, has a mischievous and sneaky personality. This demigod is quite the pickpocket, although to say kleptomania meant nothing to Cat would be a lie so it's not just the things in your pockets she goes for. She can't help it - if she sees something she likes, then chances are she'll steal it (and with Hermes being her father, it will be long gone before the owner realises). Kleptomania aside, Cat is very proud and it's her fatal flaw. Now it's not like she's constantly rubbing her own glory in people's faces but Cat believes she can do anything (and steal anything for that matter). As a wise goddess once said though, "The most dangerous flaws are those which are good in moderation". Cat is also stealthy and is quite sly: both traits having accumilated from growing up with her cat-burgular of a mother. Not that a mother could teach anything close when your father is the God of Thieves. All that aside, Cat can be quite reasonable, for example as much as she would want to, she knows not to steal the symbol of power of any god (but mainly one of the Big Three). It would be suicide, and if not directly then indirectly through the resulting war. In addition, this demigod can also be quite laid back and sensual, not going to too much trouble unless it was of significant appeal to Cat's desires. likes: [+] Steal things [+] Travelling [+] Lying the sun [+] Occasionally playing pranks [+] Keeping momentos from big thiefts dislikes: [-] Missing out on a chance to steal [-] Getting caught in the middle of a thieft/prank [-] Small spaces [-] Being second fiddle [-] Punk/Heavy Metal music strengths: [+] Stealing [+] Generally being sneaky [+] Art weaknesses: [-] Items there for the taking [-] Her Hubris [-] Lucky Charms cereal fears: [-] (Minor) Claustrophobia [-] Prison [-] Not putting her mark on the world fatal flaw: [-] Pride weapons: [+] A pair of celestial bronze daggers magical items: [-] None hometown: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania parent: Jasmine O'Reilly (Mother | 45) sibling(s): Nestor O'Reilly (Twin | 17 | Child of Hermes) other: None pet(s): A cat called Grizabella history: In the years leading up to the meeting of Cat’s parents, her mother Jasmine was an infamous cat burglar working her way across America. I think that is probably what attracted Hermes to the woman in the first place, being the basic personification of thieves and all that. They met on route to a quaint old neighbour in Washington where Cat intended to use her skills and swipe some some-to-be stolen possessions. Everything was going to plan until Hermes showed up. Jasmine was completely taken aback – this was a solo mission, Jasmine worked alone which meant that this . . . man was either a competitor or the house owner. This would not normally work out but with anything remotely connected to Hermes’ world, anything is possible. Nine months later (led by a night together), Jasmine was presented with twins and little job prospects for her. All for the one guy but life moved on and so did the O’Reillys. In hindsight, Cat has never been totally sure how exactly the family did survive during her toddler years but definitely once the twins were old enough, they were present during robberies. This was especially so once Jasmine started noticing things. Objects were disappearing and reappearing within both Nestor and Cat’s vicinity. Goodbye, long periods of planning and hard work. Hello, easy jobs involving the children. For years, the O’Reillys moved around stealing possessions from people and heading to the next city before they got caught by the local police. The only thing that could possibly spoil this age of criminal prosperity occurred. Having spent so much time with her children, Jasmine developed maternal instincts. She started caring about Nestor and Cat, not to mention their safety. She could not bring the twins out on burglaries but she did not have anyway to leave them. At this point Hermes intervened, altering his children’s (and consort’s) lives for ever. Jasmine found a note with just an address on it from the god himself. Not knowing who this was from, Jasmine went on a hunch. She did not know what she would find at the address but it may be worth looting so the trio set off for: Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road 3.141 Long Island, New York 11954 Six years later, Cat and Nestor have been living all year round at Camp Half-Blood whilst their mother gallivants around the country, steeling anything and everything. Bert . None . 4 Years (On and off) . Thalia Grace | Percy Jackson | Nico Di Angelo

Relationship with Excalibur:

• Lets be honest, Cat is a kleptomaniac so she has probably stolen off Excalibur at some point over the last three years. If so, they are probably not the best of friends, especially if the item(s) was/were expensive.
  
• Seeing as Excallibur is not the most outgoing of people, they probably haven't had much interaction aside from any possible thiefts that have occured.

Catherine & Excalibur

I also don't think they would have interacted much with each other. Cali would have probably been peeved with her for the theft, but she does not own much that is expensive or of significant value besides the objects she always has on her (ring, necklace, and dagger). She would attribute it to being a child of Hermes and probably wouldn't pay more heed to it than that.
