Beatrix "Trix" McCoy

biography

Trix was born in 2006 to her mother Elizabeth. Elizabeth was just 19 when Trix was conceived in a club bathroom. The hook up was as passionate as it was unprotected, and the affair that followed? Pitifully short-lived. A goth with substance issues, Elizabeth relapsed soon after Beatrix was born. She just wasn't able to maintain the sobriety she kept up during the pregnancy, and soon Trix was taken away from her.

Elizabeth's mother Cynthia was given legal guardianship of the child. With Elizabeth recently in prison for drug and battery charges, one could describe Trix's home life as troubled, even broken. While Cynthia was a good woman, she found being a grandma hard; Trix had never been an easy child. She was always doing reckless things and causing trouble at school; it seemed that Trix was almost completely fearless. She picked fights with bullies twice her age, vandalised school property, etc. Trix's peers avoided her, calling her creepy. Friends she may have made were banned from engaging with her by their parents -- she was only seven when her reputation began to precede her.

Trix started running away from home at the age of nine. This habit, along with her blossoming pyromania, saw her shipped off to a strict boarding school for delinquent kids. The school was a harsh institution, stopping just short of being unlawful. Trix was often in detention, being verbally abused by the headmaster. This made her lash out even more, occasionally violently. After throwing a chair across the room in a surprising feat of strength, she was made to work as assistant to the groundsman, Mr. Wilder, as punishment. 

One day, weeding the herb garden with Mr. Wilder, Beatrix was attacked by a harpy. It took a decent scrape at her arm before Mr. Wilder’s favourite trowel transformed into a short-sword. A battle ensued as Trix watched from the ground, taken aback. She soon collected herself, and used her fearlessness to her advantage: she wielded a garden fork and finished the beast off. Kind, patient Mr. Wilder explained what was going on. He was a satyr, and Beatrix and two of her peers were demigods. He rounded up Trix and two other half-bloods, ready to bring them to camp. When Mr. Wilder tried to send an Iris message to Grandma Cynthia, it became clear she had passed away, leaving Trix without a viable guardian. Mr. Wilder took her and the other children to Camp Half Blood. He kindly pretended not to hear Trix's crying at night, knowing she'd be humiliated that she'd let her guard down while someone could hear.

Beatrix was claimed by Phobos at the end of her first week at Camp, at 11 years old. It did little to alleviate her feelings of being alone in the world.

Personality

Beatrix is 5'2 of pure, red-headed confidence. She is thrill-seeking, and can come off as fearless and disrespectful. Amongst her favourite hobbies are flirting, causing chaos, and being vaguely off-putting. Her temper is bad, but generally not terrible. That being said, if you push her too far you'll definitely need to call some Apollo kids to patch you up. 

Trix gets carried away easily, sometimes to the point of badly injuring people in training and Capture the Flag. Because of this, some may see her as aggressive, competitive, or even sadistic. While the first two are fair observations, the latter is a bit extreme. 

At her best, she can be very charismatic, charming, and playful. She has a dark sense of humor, a sharp, sarcastic tongue, and enjoys teasing her peers. If you can get close to her, you'll be rewarded with some of the most fierce loyalty you'll ever come across. Trix's bravery makes her an excellent person to have on your side; she wouldn't hesitate before laying her life down for a true friend.

Trix, like any Phobos kid worth their salt, has perfected the art of weirding people out and always gets a kick out of it. She disregards any and all societal rules, making her something of an anarchist. She is a fierce feminist who can and will beat you up if she catches you being misogynistic. She makes no attempt to hide her irritation and refuses to sugar-coat her words. If she hates you, you'll definitely know. Beatrix has a general distaste for the boys around Camp and is impatient when it comes to suffering fools.
