Celebrity Play By: Selena Gomez
Appearance: [400 words minimum]
It's pretty simple to explain the basic looks like eye and hair color, weight, clothing, piercings, tattoos, make-up, and other extra things. You also must go into detail about what the animal portion of your character looks like. If you're a snake, great but what kind of snake, what do you look like etc. Both of these are important and must be explained as detailed and as thoroughly as possible[/size]

Parents: Marisa Gonzalez [mother, thompson’s gazelle shift], Damian Gonzalez [father, andalusian shift]

...connecting human to animal
[[/li][li]andalusian horses are originally from spain as is elena
[/li][li]her birthday is January 1st which is the same as most competitive horses
[/li][li]Andalusians are known for their thick, long manes and tails, and selena gomez’s I thought looked quite similar
[/li][li]andalusian horses were bred for their athleticism, they are often used in dressage, driving and show jumping which is why Elena is a good athlete
[/li][li]these horses are amazing at dressage which explains why Elena likes to dance
[/li][li]elena’s major is theatre studies because andalusian horses are used in many historical or fantasy movies such as lord of the rings
[/li][li]horses are prey animals and have a strong flight or fight instinct, they also live in open spaces which is why Elena likes freedom and why she hates being enclosed
[/li][li]andalusians are described as very intelligent and quick to learn when they’re respected, as well as being docile and sensitive
[/li][li]horses are herd animals which is why she dislikes being alone
[/li][li] her shift is a herbivore, so Elena is also][/i][/b][/size]

UP, UP, and AWAY
warm weather was so nice.
Heather smile brightly as a gentle breeze caressed her face, blowing back her hair. Spring was here, and the forest was once again coming alive. The beginnings of leaves peaked out from buds that sat upon not-quite-so-bare-anymore tree branches, ready to burst open at just the right moment. The girl brought up a hand, and gently skimmed the rough, cracked bark of a large tree as she walked along beside the stream that ran through the forest.
She was dressed simply in her bright orange camp half-blood t-shirt and a pair of jeans. On her feet were a pair of sneakers, worn with use. She carried no weapon - strange for a demigod. Since coming to camp, Heather hadn't taken well to weapons. The only thing she had excelled at learning was manipulating the water. Now, she always had a canteen of water slung over her shoulder, ready to use at any moment.
There was no particular reason for Heather being out here. She wasn't here to fight some monsters. It was far from that. Sometimes she just needed to get away from things. She often wondered what it would be like to just isolate herself from the rest of the world and live alone with herself and maybe an animal companion. Heather had always liked animals, and she'd never really been a social person. All the hustle and bustle about camp was sometimes too much to take in all at once. Her art was one escape, a nice walk was another.
Finally, the girl stopped. In front of her was a fallen tree that arched over the stream like a bridge. It was covered with moss and lichen. Heather thingyed her head to the side with a small lopsided smile spread across her face. She made her way towards it and stepped out onto it, bouncing herself up and down to test the weight on the tree trunk. It looked solid and it felt solid, so she walked out across it, careful to keep her balance, and then settled down right above the middle of the river.
Swinging her lets back and forth, Heather smiled, watching as the water bubbled by. With another grin, she reached out a hand and made an upward motion, focusing on the water. It obeyed and came floating up to eye level. She separated the blob, creating one perfectly round sphere while letting the rest of the water drop. It splashed back into the stream, but Heather was focused on her bubble of water. With her finger pointed at the ball, she moved it to and fro, bouncing it up and down. She loved playing with water like this. After a few moments, Heather let it drop, but then immediately drew up more water. She brought up much more than the last time. The blob was about as big as one of the cabins. It never rained naturally here in Camp Half-Blood, so Heather sometimes liked to make a little of her own rain. With all her strength, she threw the water upwards into the sky.
"Up, up and way," she thought with a giggle. Who knew how far up the water went, all Heather knew was that, eventually, it would come down and the effect would be somewhat similar to rain. It only took about a minute longer before drops of water began to fall. "Rain," Heather murmured, holding her palms up for the water to splatter down on. It wasn't as good as the real thing, but it was good enough and Heather had always wanted it to rain while the sun was still shining.
