Sakurta (coming sun) was born to the chief of the Pawnee tribe over four hundred years ago. When she turned twelve she was accidentally slain by a warrior of the Sioux tribe who mistook her for a rival warrior. She was killed on the land that is now the forest at camp Olympus, then it was just a small grove of trees that she was playing in while searching for flowers to adorn her weeding outfit because she was to be married that evening. The warrior realized his mistake and surrounded the child in wildflowers and begged for forgiveness in slaying the innocent girl not caring that she was from a rival tribe. Hermes, who happened to be passing by the area, heard the warriors crys and decided to bring back the beautiful child, who always cared for the grove of trees, as a nymph who would always care for the grove of trees as it grew into a lush forest. Sakurta was renamed Xylona Damara. Xylona (the x sounds like a z like xylophone) from the greek name meaning from the forest and Damara from the Greek meaning gentle. Xylona forgave the warrior for killing her and with her kindness and new found abilities she made the forest grow and prosper. Many other nymphs came to reside in her forest bound to some tree or shrub. Xylona however was the main caretaker and head of the nymphs in that particular woods. She was always kind to lost travelers and loved to play games. The years passed and the young girl grew in wisdom. Most of the nymphs took on the forms of beautiful woman but Xy (rimes with sigh) liked to stay in the form that she was original born in, the form she died in. To her it is honoring who she once was and also that was who the god decided to help and it made her proud. Xy now helps the campers out when they need it or when there is trouble. She will play games with them, teasing and messing with the campers. Even though she is so playful there is a great deal of wisdom she can offer it is just strange to hear it come from someone who looks so young.

ALAYA , 6+YEARS. YES, I READ THE RULES
It was mid afternoon and the sun was low in the sky. The air was crisp and slightly chilly as Allya walked towards the hills. She loved to watch the sunset from them even if it was cold out. Watching day turn to night was one of her favorite things to do especially after she learned as a child that her mother was the cause of it. She also felt stronger as the night approached. The darkness was where she drew her power and strength from. She pulled her jacket closer around her to keep out the cold. The sky was clear promising a beautiful sun set and a clear night, which was always the best for these cold evenings.
She had just finished with teaching a class on history before coming out to the hills. It was interesting but it did make her miss her father. It had been a while since she had seen him, granted he was over seas teaching and she could visit at any time. However then she was subbing so much she barely had time to go to her own home. She only stayed at the cabins when she didn't have the time to go into the city to her apartment. She didn't mind it. She did like her job and seemed to get along with the other campers alright not to mention it was a job and something like that was hard to find at times, so she was thankful.
Allya was not expecting to run into anyone while she was out but she found out very quickly she was wrong. Not that far in front of her was one of the campers. Nico if she was not mistaken. She recognized him from the classes and also from seeing him near the Hades cabins. She smiled and walked towards him wondering if he would welcome a conversation. "Nice evening" She stated hoping not to startle him or seem like she was imposing.
