Luana Cardoso Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Luana Cardoso biography Cristiano Cardoso was a master chess player who was recognized by the Brazilian Chess Confederation and later a woman who was Goddess Athena in Disguise. The Goddess was impressed by Cristiano's cleverness at the game, and was even more taken with him as she visited him more often at his hometown in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Not long after the Goddess and the mortal became acquainted, Luana 'Lu' Cardoso was given to Cristiano as one of Athena's "brain children". Lu was brilliant from the start. Even as a young child, she was drawn in to the world of chess. Without an idea of who her mother was, her bond to her father was close, and her need to follow in his footsteps was far too great. At the young age of seven, Lu learned the game of chess and vowed to defeat her father one day. Beyond just the game, she excelled in most of her studies, and demonstrated a memory that was far beyond the scope of what her teachers saw often. However, as her intelligence grew, her relationship with her peers collapsed. Being different from kids her age made her prone to feeling isolated, and she didn't hate the feeling much. Perhaps it was a problem on her end too, for being treated like some kind of prodigy made it easy for her to turn her nose at kids who didn't seem to understand her for it. Before her thirteenth birthday hit, Luana managed to beat her father in a game of chess. It was the first and only time she did so, but something about it made Cristiano want to tell her the whole truth. Luana discovered that there was something special about her. Her mother was someone not of the mortal realm. And so Lu was guided to Camp Half-Blood by the satyr that revealed himself to her before her thirteenth birthday. It was a tearful goodbye on her father's end, but she was soon claimed by her mother Athena and found herself to be surrounded by kids who were just as intelligent as her. The next few years, Lu lived at camp, only returning home to visit her father when the camp director allowed them to leave the protective camp barrier. Learning how to write and speak in English more fluently wasn't too much of a challenge. Most of her time was spent learning how to fight monsters with the help of her godly gifts. Now, she continues to do the same, preparing for the possibility that she'll one day have the chance to make a name for herself. Personality Lu is a classic introvert, and very selective about who she feels she can get close to. She loves a good, intellectual conversation, but can quickly shut down and turn away from people if they can't seem to keep up with her idea of such a conversation. She may seem a bit snarky and sometimes even rude, but that's not typically her intention. She simply isn't the best at socializing with her peers, and her smarts can only get her so far on that front. Team-playing isn't her strong suit, so it takes a strong bond for her to become cooperative with some others. If you manage to break past her 'cold' exterior, she is fiercely loyal and will try her best to teach you everything she knows. She may not have the sharpest sense of humor or the warmest demeanor, but she will protect you with every ounce of her being, whether that means with her blade or with her words.
