Backstory: Eliana was born to the Greek God of the Sun Apollo and a mortal woman. As a child she had no idea she was the daughter of a God. She thought her father was a mortal man who’d died before she was born. She didn’t learn of her father or met him until her powers of healing developed and he showed himself to her to help her learn to control her powers.

She spent her youth as an outcast in her village because of her divine heritage and healing power. She wanted to help others but was rarely allowed near any one else because they would insult or even attack her if she came near. No one thought she was the daughter of a God, they thought she was cursed, a witch. And they were afraid of her.

She had a talent for archery and often hunted to provide for her mother and herself. As she came of age she set off on quests to prove her worth and heroism to her father, Apollo. She met and teamed up with other demigods and demigoddesses on her journeys and was grateful to learn she wasn’t alone. To know there were others like her filled her with a sense of indescribable relief and joy.

On one of her quests she lost her mother when a monster tracked her home and attacked them. Eliana grew overwhelmingly distraught and nearly lost control of her powers and self control as she tracked the monster. She barely managed to contain her rage and save others by killing the monster.

As a reward for her heroic deeds her father offered her immortality and she accepted. She is still fairly young for an immortal and is still trying to prove herself to her immortal family. She can be reckless and overconfident as only a newly made immortal can be. She will throw herself at any challenge put before her even at the risk of her own life as she, mistakenly, believes being immortal means she is invincible.

Notes: Eliana still unsure of her place among the immortals. She feels insecure and unworthy of her place among them. She still misses her mother terribly and has had to be stopped more than once from going to the Underworld to see her mother’s spirit. Now that she is immortal her eyes glow with an otherworldly power, her blood is the gold ichor of the Gods and she sustains herself with ambrosia and nectar.
