Original Characters Series: Ariel

So, while coming up with new ideas to blog about, I took the time to look at possible books to read for the future and started remembering how back in high school I would create my own characters to place into the stories and make them more enjoyable to me. Then it hit me! Why not share my characters? Sounded like a good idea so I'm going with it.

I guess I can share one now. My first one is from the Percy Jackson series, obviously. I don't know what it is about this series that makes me so head over heels for it, but I have fallen hard for it.

So this is Ariel (see picture.) Yeah, I know she's upside down. She's doing a flip cause she's cool like that. Ariel is the daughter of Ares, but the twist is that she's nothing like her siblings. Her and Clarisse are polar opposites of each other, and while Ariel could technically be the head counselor due to having completed more quests, she chooses not to.

She's got a lot of issues, though, like she's very possessive of her friends because of this mentality that as the daughter of war she's the only one strong enough to keep them safe. It's her Achilles heel. Other things about her are that she's very strong, she's athletic, has mastered every weapon she's come across, and she can read. Okay, that last one sounds weird, but if you're a fan of the Percy Jackson series, you'll know that's a big deal since a lot of half-bloods have dyslexia. However, despite all of this, she's still considered an outcast at camp because she's so much different from any of them.

So there you have it! Ariel, the daughter of Ares, was my first ever OC and I'm still really attached to her. She'll come back around sometime soon since she has more to add to her story, but that'll be later. Thanks for reading everyone! Bye-bye!
