Shadow Moore

biography

Shadow was born to Hecate and a man who identified as a follower of the pagan faiths in New England. His father, knowing exactly what he was getting into by entering an agreement with a goddess was unsurprised when a child was given to him and he never saw the woman again. After all, the gods were mysterious and he was simply appreciative that she had willingly given him, a mortal, the time.

Shadow grew up with a fairly typical childhood, in an upper middle class neighborhood. His father had a job that paid well, and the child never wanted for anything. Used to getting his way in life, Shadow never did cope well when faced with disappointment, being known to throw temper tantrums until he got his way. This worked surprisingly often for him and nobody could quite explain why.

Still, he had a mostly good heart and managed to make friends most places he went. This continued throughout his childhood. He befriended several kids at school who were picked on for being different and would go out of his way to make sure that they were protected by providing them with protection charms he learned to create from his father. The charms were little more than some crystals and good intentions, but for Shadow they seemed to work far more than they ever did for his father. His friends ceased being picked on.

When his ninth birthday neared, however, a satyr came from Camp Half-Blood and Shadow’s world changed. It had been explained to his father that since the child was a demigod the only safe place for him would be Camp Half-Blood. While his father did love his son, he had always suspected the day would come when Shadow would be destined for greater things.

Shadow joined Camp Half-Blood in 2005, shortly before everything began to go to hell. Despite being claimed from early on, he stayed in Cabin 11 because there were no minor cabins available yet. The coming years, however, brought the Second Titan War, the Second Demigod Civil War, the Second Giants War, and everything that happened with Nero. Shadow, and all the campers involved experienced significant trauma through those years.

During that time Shadow bonded with several campers, but none so closely as Lilythe, daughter of Hermes. And when she turned 15, he 16, the two of them began to date. They dated for several years and were quite happy together. However, it was always evident to him that one of Lilythe’s closest friends, Azrael, was quite smitten with her. It never bothered him, though he didn’t trust the man, until Azrael deliberately attacked him during a game of Capture the Flag. Shadow became fairly injured during the fight and it became apparent that Azrael’s feelings were growing past the point that he could rationally contain them. The rift that was torn between the boys broke Lilythe’s heart as she tried to repair something that had never truly existed in the first place. The boys had never really been more than cordial to one another for her sake, and not true friends.

That was when Shadow became far more protective of Lilythe and who she spent her time with. The last thing he wanted was for her to become hurt because of someone else’s feelings for her. He began to spend all his time with her, ensuring that he could keep an eye on her and make sure that nobody could take advantage of her. He didn’t realize exactly how possessive and controlling things had become as this continued over the years until Lilythe finally grew so unhappy that she left him.

Shadow’s heart was broken. He had truly loved her, and in so doing he had smothered her. Shadow left camp to think and to work on himself. He stayed away for several months.

Now he returns with hope that he could rekindle a friendship with her at the very least, but finds that Lilythe in the arms of the one man he hoped she would never turn to. A rage begins to burn within him that he cannot contain.

Personality

Shadow is a generally good person. He wants good things for people and will do his best to protect them. The problem is that he often thinks he knows what is best for them and doesn’t stop to ask them what they want. He will try to push his will onto people, convinced that it’s the only way to ensure that they are happy and safe.

He is a passionate person, and when he falls for someone he falls deeply. He truly loved Lilythe with everything he had, which was why it was so devastating when she chose to leave him. He couldn’t argue with her though, he had seen the light in her eyes fade the more he tried to protect her the more she felt suffocated. Even still, though, his heart aches for her. One day, when he finds the right person, this love could translate into something truly beautiful if he can learn how to not smother them and to build a true partnership.

Shadow is a little spoiled, used to getting his way all the time. As a child he would throw temper tantrums until he got what he wanted. Little did he know that even then he was working the mist to control the thoughts of those around him and sway their minds. Now, as an adult fully aware of his power, Shadow isn’t afraid to manipulate people if he believes it truly serves their best interests.

He has a lot of room to grow as a person, and get rid of his toxic traits. There are some great qualities that he just takes to excessive and unhealthy degrees. If he can let go of his need to control his surroundings and those within them, he may one day find that he’s not as terrible as people often make him out to be.

He is a great brother to all his half-siblings, and will give the shirt off his back to those in need.
