[Background] http://camphalfblood.wikia.com/wiki/Reyna
[Personality] Outwardly, Reyna is cold and intimidating. She distances herself from most people, in an attempt to keep from growing too attached to them. Her icy exterior lasts until you have gained her trust, which is difficult to say the least. Through all that she’s been through, Reyna finds it difficult to trust others and will treat them coldly until she deems they are worthy to be treated her equal.
She is very strong willed, which helps more than it hinders with her status as Praetor to the Roman Army. While tactful and level-headed, Reyna rarely backs down unless it is in the best interest of her army. She easily fell into the role of soldier, thanks to hereditary traits of her mother, and makes sure that others will look to her as a strong leader. That being said, however, she thinks of the camp as her family.
She is fiercely protective of her family and will sacrifice one to save the many. If her leadership abilities are questioned in front of the legion, Reyna will steel herself against the offender and offer little mercy if needed. She hates being made to look weak and will lash out at the offender if possible, or even be bent toward the will of the camp. When Octavian calls for Greek blood, Reyna has no choice but to agree. The Romans were worked into a frenzy and Reyna could only do one thing without them revolting against her: To declare war on the Greeks even though two of her fellow Praetors are in the company of them.
Once she trusts you, however, she lets down her guard just a little. While still strict, she is much less cold and a little more friendly. She will open up about doubts, worries, tactics... Many things that she would normally keep to herself. She won’t open up much, but it happens. As Annabeth noted, Reyna is a good listener. She likes to take in information and apply it to any situations at hand, as she hates being left in the dark. When she does offer up information about herself, it’s after she’s calculated the importance and exactly how to phrase it. She admires those who are strong and strong willed like herself, and will generally open up to them easier than your run-of-the-mill John Doe. Such examples are Percy and Annabeth, who she found herself more comfortable with quicker than the rest. Their strength, after all, reflects on their character.
The last thing one would want to do with Reyna is make an enemy of her. Her usual cold demeanor will frost over even more and she does not forgive and forget easily. She is a dangerous ally, but a far more dangerous foe. She shows mercy only to those she once sought as allies, case being Annabeth. Reyna allowed her to leave without a fight, only to promise that next they meet they will be fighting.
After the betrayal of trust from the Greeks, Reyna has cut herself off more. Annabeth wisely notes that Reyna has become “too alone, too bitter and betrayed to believe anything could go right for her ever again.” Seeing the person she desperately wanted to return and to love her with someone else, then to betray her trust and attack her camp. Reyna admits under her breath to Annabeth that she hates her job, and with advisers like Octavian and the constant turnover or fellow Praetors, who can blame her? She held onto the false sense of hope that Jason would return, fighting off the call for a new Praetor for as long as she could manage... Was able to raise Percy to Praetor status just in time for Jason to return and for the both of them to disappear. As Reyna sees it, the only two people she could trust or has even opened up to, have now left and betrayed her.
[Specialties/Abilities] Nothing ~special~ aside from her mad fighting skillz, which are discussed under the fighting header.
[Affection] She’s polite when need be, but expecting her to be anything more without a long time of CR will be expecting too much of her. Reyna’s extremely guarded and doesn’t easily trust others. So even if you do one small thing to betray her, it will take a lot of work to fix that. You can show affection, but she likely won’t show any back. It’s hard enough getting a smile out of her.
[Fighting] Her mother is a Goddess of War. Reyna’s pretty adept at fighting and will start something if she feels threatened. She is trained in fighting with a sword, dagger and spear and could probably hold her own in hand to hand. Her dogs, by the way, are more or less guard dogs as well as lie detectors. So, there’s that.
[Other Permissions] I’m open for pretty much anything, but if there’s a question to it, ask. I’m generally pretty easy going. Go ahead and break fourth walls or read her mind, but be aware of the consequences as such. Reyna doesn’t like people to invade her privacy and she’s very much an emotionally guarded character.
