Crawfish and dirty rice; they're her favorite foods...She can't get enough crawfish, like any good Southern girl.
Dresses; she loves being girlie, wearing dresses and heels and make up.
Her family and friends; they mean everything to her
Flowers; she loves nature and being outside...She loves trees and grass and all of it, but her favorite thing in the world are flowers. She'd choose flowers over chocolates or even jewelry from a boy any day.
Sunshine; she loves brightness and happiness and nothing displays that more than a sunny day.
IHATE:
Rap; she loves music, but she doesn't consider rap to be music
Autumn and winter; it's when all of the plants die and everything is grimmer than usual. She likes things to be bright and happy, but those two seasons don't feel right to her.
Haircuts; she loves her hair to be long and dreads every time she gets split ends and has to get it trimmed or cut.
Snack cakes; she loves homemade cakes and pies from her grandmother, but the so called "snack cakes" you get at stores are disgusting to her.
18 wheelers; after Bradley and Natalie's deaths, she can't stand them. They terrify her more than anything.
Alcohol; being one of the main reasons her parents are dead, she can't stand alcohol or drunk people at all and refuses to drink anything with even a hint of alcohol in it.
Smoking; she thinks cigarettes and smokers are disgusting
DONTTELL:
She's drank; she's tried a sip of Smirnoff before. She makes such a big deal about hating alcohol, but she was curious and did want to try it one day.
She broke up with Tyler; She broke up with her boyfriend of two and a half years because he was diagnosed with cancer. She begged her grandma to move them away so she had a reason to break up with him without looking like the bad guy. She was terrified of being heartbroken so she broke his heart before he could die.
SCAREDOF:
Driving; she's gotten past her fears of being in a vehicle, but she's still terrified of driving.

WEAKNESSES:
Vehicles; she's terrified of driving and automobiles themselves
Death; she's terrified of death and getting too close to people to only have them die
Dyslexia and ADHD; it comes with being a demigod, but they can be problems in the mortal world
Fighting; she's not good at fighting at all...She's scared of hurting people and it makes actually defending herself or trying to fight people very hard.
Stubborn; she can be calm for the most part, but she doesn't back down from things once she's put her stance up.
Temper; she may be nice, but once you set her off it's not pretty.

ABOUTME:
Her tragic past has left its mark on her in her fear of things like death and automobiles, but for the most part she's a calm and very laid back, friendly girl. She loves being social and hanging out with people. She enjoys the simple things in life and doesn't need expensive things to be happy.

HISTORY:
Bradley Blake was only fifteen when he got Veronica Childress pregnant. He managed to talk her out of abortion and considered adoption. He was there with her the whole time. His parents kicked him out of his house so he quit school and got a job working off shore for a while. He couldn't be around Veronica much, but he could at least make enough money to take care of her and his baby. He worked two weeks straight and had one week off after that, a cycle that repeated for a while. He managed to save up enough to buy them an apartment where she would live while he continued working. Veronica went into labor, having their baby boy while he was away and didn't bother contacting him. The time Bradley returned, Veronica had skipped town and left their baby alone in the apartment. Bradley rushed the boy, he called Ferris, to the emergency room. He had been alone for a couple of days. He hadn't eaten or drank anything, he had soiled himself...He had been crying and lonely.

Veronica was taken into custody and Bradley was summoned to court to testify against her. Veronica went to jail and Bradley was left alone to take care of his son. By now he loved him too much to give him up and worked two jobs to care for Ferris. His day job allowed Ferris to go to daycare while his night job as a babysitter allowed him to bring Ferris with him. It was a hard life, being a single father at fifteen, but Bradley was determined to do it. They had a hard life, but Bradley cared about his son more than anything. For a few years things were much the same...Struggling to pay bills and being stressed over jobs and over Ferris. When Ferris was four and Bradley was nineteen, his mother Sheridan came by to give Bradley a break. She agreed to take care of Ferris for the weekend while Bradley just relaxed and enjoyed himself. Sheridan had divorced Bradley's father and was free to care for her son all she pleased.

Brad's first night of freedom was spent sleeping, but over the course of the weekend he visited a bar and a club, each other night spent sleeping with a different woman. He had had his fun and enjoyed his youth for a bit before returning to his duties as a father. Sheridan moved in with Brad to help take care of Ferris and help out with the money issues by offering her own paychecks from her job owning a local diner. Things in life were a bit easier, though Brad never let himself rely too heavily on his mother and did his best to care for his son to provide him with a good life. There was a very unexpected turn of events nine months later. He was visited by one of the women he had slept with, though it took a while to remember that. She handed him a baby girl and explained that she was special, leaving out enough details to leave Bradley confused.

The woman, though he didn't know it, was the Greek goddess Demeter. Brad was stunned and horrified, already calculating how much money another baby was going to cost...But looking down at his precious daughter it was hard to imagine giving her up. He called her Eden Sarah Blake and immediately the rest of the family fell in love with her. Only a couple of weeks later he got a similar visit, from the Greek goddess Hestia (though again, he had no idea who she was) who left him with another baby girl he named Theodora Jennifer Blake. He was twenty years old with three children...Life had become hard again, but he was determined to provide for his family. Over the course of the next year he met and fell in love with a woman named Natalie who became a motherly figure in the children's lives. She treated them as if they were her own children and moved in after a year, helping take care of them financially and maternally.

Their little family was a happy one. Survival was hard, but they made it work. As the children grew older, things became a bit easier since they were better able to care for themselves. Ferris loved teasing his sisters and the three carried on a usual brother and sisters relationship, though Eden and Dory were closer than most sisters were. Life was picture perfect when Eden turned three. They saved up enough money for a house. It was a small yellow house with a white picket fence. Grandma Sheridan, Brad, Natalie, Ferris, Eden, and Dory all had their dream home and they seemed to be a very happy family for another couple of years. Eden started school and easily made friends around the neighborhood.

The world came crashing down when Eden was five, though. Brad and Natalie went out one night to celebrate their anniversary. A truck driver had gotten drunk that night and was driving an 18 wheeler. It was dark and considering how big the truck was, it would have been impossible for Brad to move out of the way in time. There was no way anyone could have survived the crash. The family was devastated. Sheridan mourned the loss of her son and did the best she could to console her heartbroken grandchildren. Eden felt as if her life was falling apart and could do no more than scream and cry at the funeral. In school she acted out and her grades were horrible. Many blamed it on the deaths of her family, so it took a few years before everyone realized something else was wrong and she was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD.

For the first few years after the deaths, Eden refused to get in a car for any reason. She walked to school, road a bike and rollerskates and more troublesome means of transportation, too terrified of cars and trucks. Once Grandma Sheridan dragged her into the car and began driving down the road, but returned home when the girl's screaming and sobbing became too much. Sheridan wanted to help her over her fear, but found that she wasn't strong enough to handle her granddaughter being so upset. The family was in therapy for a while, courtesy of the government.

Things became easier over the years, though she never truly got over their deaths. Life was able to be somewhat happy, though. School was hard with her dyslexia, but she always managed to just barely pass and she always made lots of friends very easily. She eventually got over her fears of getting into vehicles, though she to this day remains terrified of driving and even more terrified of passing 18 wheelers on the road. She started high school at a very small school and joined the choir and the band and considered becoming a cheerleader for a short time. She tried out all sorts of clubs, but was fickle and never remained in one for too long, save for choir. She loved music and she loved singing and performing. She participated in the talent show at school every year since junior high started.

Her freshman year she got a boyfriend named Tyler Jameson. He was her first love. They went to all the dances and school activities together. They spent lots of time together and for a while Eden was sure he was the one. One night, though, Tyler invited her over to his house and walking there, she was attacked and nearly raped by a middle aged man. Luckily one of the men in the neighborhood came out and scared him away and escorted her home, letting her call Tyler. She was too afraid to tell anyone the truth and luckily her savior kept her secret. She promised Tyler she'd go over the next day and the next day she begged Ferris to drive her there. Eden had a nice dinner with the Jameson family and then Tyler took her to his room to tell her some news. He had cancer. Leukemia. Eden was distraught. She stayed with him, though she treated him like a porcelain doll and spent less and less time with him, falling into paranoia and depression. One night Eden broke down and begged Grandma Sheridan to move. She confessed the story of nearly being raped and screamed and begged, wanting to leave this town and leave the bad memories and everything behind them.

The truth was, Eden wanted to get away from Tyler. She had nearly forgotten about her attack until she needed an excuse to leave. She had to break up with Tyler and they broke up on good terms and no one thought ill of her, though she was ashamed of herself for breaking up with him and leaving town because he had cancer. She did love him, but she couldn't go through losing someone important to her again. When Tyler called and emailed her, she barely responded and stopped contact altogether. Sheridan scraped up enough money to move the family to New York City. The girls were put in a public school but things didn't stay good for long. Towards the end of the year a lot of the teachers became mean and almost scary and it took being dragged off by some strange boy that Eden and Dory learned the truth. The boy was a satyr and he went to their grandmother and explained that the girls were demigods.

That summer Eden and Dory went to Camp Half Blood but were never claimed. It left Eden disappointed and hurt and very much bitter with her real mother and missing Brad and Natalie more than ever.
