PREUX DELAMERE NAME POSEIDON GODLY PARENT SHE/HER PRONOUNS AROSPEC SEXUALITY TUESDAY, WEEK ONE BIRTHDAY ROUEN, FRANCE BIRTHPLACE CAMP HALF-BLOOD LOCATION
When she speaks, Preux sounds very... small. She has a light and airy voice that suits her demure tone, stemming from a childhood raised by devout mortals and a strict, stifling church. Her role is to be seen and not heard, to be a pretty thing that is merely percieved and never to be touched, and Preux is very, very good at fulfilling her roles. She's got a snarky side too, though—even if not many are blessed to hear her sass.
STYLE
Preux dresses rather conservatively, even after the discovery of the gods at Camp Half-Blood. During both the colder and warmer months, she wears several layers of skirts and long-sleeved tops, mostly in light colours. She likes to wear her hair down and often has a set of hoop earrings in, which are engraved with little sea motifs.

FUNNEL CLOUD
Preux can create a small funnel cloud to push back up to two opponents. This may be used only twice in a topic.
WATER CREATION
Preux has the ability to create water from nothing. This water is perfectly clean and can be dranken too, if desired! The most they can create is to fill up an average size swimming pool. This is very exhausting, and they will require a lot of rest afterward.
• APPEARANCE •
Preux has shoulder-lengthed brown hair that naturally curls just a little bit. Despite never having known her real mother, she's been told by her family that the artistically messy way her hair falls around her looks exactly how the woman did, the day she was dropped off. She likes keeping it un-tied and un-styled, since she can hide behind it if her hair is down.She has beautiful, sea-green eyes too, typical of the children of Poseidon. They don't shift in colours like her half-siblings in the myths do, and they look... dulled. A bit muted, but still rather beautiful. Like two little embedded blue topaz stones, sanded down to dull their brilliance.
Being of a rather average stature, Preux stands at a respectable and common 5'3" or 160cm. She is right-handed and doesn't have any visible scars across her exposed skin.
Since she isn't the best with her godly abilities, Preux prefers to use a simple Celestial Bronze knife in combat. While it's not as powerful as a sword might be, she likes the convenience of such a small weapon, since she can sheathe it and tuck it into anywhere on her.
• PERSONALITY •
Like a dove with their wings clipped, Preux has been chained down too. When she was younger she was more enthusiastic, more inquisitive about the state of the world and the little curiosities that made it fascinating. But time, and time and time again she's been told by her parents to silence herself to be presentable in front of their Lord and their Mother. And like the birds that are taught time and time again to stop trying to fly, Preux has stopped trying to explore, too. She locks herself down instead, tucking her arms tight behind her back and pressing her chin to her chest. She's learned to be quiet and small, to be deeply pious in her day-to-day life.
Preux admires the people who are able to be bold. Around camp she sees people her own age laughing loudly as they play in the water, and she can't help but wonder—why? Why is it that they find it so easy to leap into the waves, when she herself is so afraid of letting loose in her so-called father's domain?
How can she be so beautifully bright and vibrant too, when it feels like her colours seep and wash away with the rain?
