Alyssa James Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Alyssa James biography Alyssa is the product of a one-night stand at a party between her father and a mystery woman that she never had been able to get the name of. Her father simply insisted that the woman had been beautiful and full of life, and that Alyssa reminded her of him. When she was nothing but an infant, a Social Worker had brought her to his door, with a note that simply read 'She's yours, Alex, treat her well.' Alex raised his daughter with love and compassion, but worked late hours. He hired a nanny to watch her in the evenings after he went to work. Alyssa didn't mind, she was usually asleep for most of the time her father was gone anyway, and the nanny was just there to make sure she was safe and make her breakfast in the morning. The older woman was like part of the family. So it grieved Alyssa greatly when she went away unexpectedly one day, and Alyssa learned that she had died. The girl was only 7 years old, and it scared her to her core to know that growing old meant that you would one day die. A new nanny was hired, though this one was far more strict, and her breakfasts weren't nearly as good. Around Alyssa's 10th birthday, the nanny seemed to reach peak cruelty. One day before school, Alyssa could have swore she saw claws where her nails should be and fanged teeth. But when she looked again, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Alyssa set down her school bag by the door instead of keeping it with her at the table and the woman snapped! She started straight up attacking her. Alyssa screamed for help, but nobody else was home. The fangs and claws came back, along with some wings, and Alyssa's screams only grew louder. She managed to grab a frying pan off the counter and smacked her nanny--or whatever had replaced her nanny--over the head with it. Once freed from her clutches, Alyssa bolted out of the house and straight to a nearby park. She had always been taught that if she were being followed by someone trying to harm her that she should go to a public place with witnesses if she couldn't find a police officer. As she entered the park, Alyssa was met by a stocky man with a limp. He told her to follow him and he would keep her safe. The man had a hat on, but she felt like something wasn't quite human. Still, he asked where her parent worked and he escorted her straight there, so Alyssa had no reason to object. When they arrived at his work, Alex was surprised, but the man introduced himself and removed his hat to reveal two horns. He explained that he was a Satyr from Camp Half-Blood and that Alyssa was a half-blood child. He told Alex that he could keep his daughter safe, but she would have to go. After a long discussion, Alex agreed. Alyssa began to cry, not wanting to leave her father, but her father knelt down and told her to put on a brave face and that he would write once the coast was clear. Alyssa dried her tears and they quickly went to Camp Half-Blood. Upon arrival, Alyssa was claimed by her mother, Hebe, and she has stayed at the camp year-round ever since. She still writes to her father often, but they've come to an agreement--now that she's older and understands the danger--that she'll keep her visits brief and always return to camp for her safety. Personality Alyssa is a carefree spirit. She tries not to take things too seriously, and go with the flow. She loves her father dearly, and writes to him as often as she can. Alyssa is funny, outgoing, and her smile lights up a room. She's kind, but can have an attitude when people cross a line. She isn't the most athletic of campers, but she likes to play games and stay active anyway. She can be a little vain, often taking an interest in keeping her 'youthful glow' but she doesn't let it get in the way of having fun and getting dirty. Largely it comes from her overwhelming fear of death.
