CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE ⸺ eutask number one. ➥ click the read more to proceed.

001. how did your muse find out about being a demigod, and how did they react ?

clarisse has always been under the impression that she was not like other children ( albeit, mostly because her brother would tell her that she wasn’t ) but she didn’t know the full extent of it until she was around fifteen years old.

as a child, clarisse was very flippant with her powers as she was never explicitly taught to hide them and she would often use them when she wasn’t supposed to. one of those times was during a field trip to paris. she was in the jardin des tuileries with her class ⸺ a very exposed setting for one so young and powerful ⸺ when she decided to use her cryokinesis to turn the water in one of the fountains to ice. very quickly, she was discovered by the harpy, aello, who wanted to get back at khione for betraying gaea, wife of tartarus. though she managed to scare aello away with her powers, clarisse was left incredibly shaken by the whole ordeal.

upon her arrival back to her home in avignon, her parents decided to inform his daughter of her true heritage. at first, it was a shock to the system ⸺ of course it was. how often does anyone learn that they’re the daughter of a goddess ? ⸺ but slowly it began to make sense to her why she had these unexplainable powers and why she always felt at home in the cold and the knowledge became something of a comfort to her.

002. how does your muse’s mortal family feel about them being a demigod ?

it’s a complicated matter. her parents love her dearly and her mother often likes to say that clarisse is her petit miracle when she’s had a good day, but her siblings are somewhat indifferent nowadays. sébastien was incredibly jealous when they were little because her powers often gained a lot of attention from their parents and he frequently wished he could have her abilities for himself. he was something of a bully towards her, especially after she was officially claimed by khione in her teens, but fortunately, he’s mellowed out now. josie, on the other hand, has always been super relaxed about it, and even almost admiring of her sister’s abilities. but she’s always looked up to clarisse in general so it wouldn’t have changed her opinion much either way, and being much younger than both clarisse and sébastien, she doesn’t remember when clarisse was told so she’s always known her sister was a demigod.

003. when did they get claimed by their godly parent ?

in a way, clarisse has always been claimed by khione, but it was never made official until she started attending camp starke. it was a very delayed reaction, with many of the camp members wondering which god could have been her parent since khione isn’t exactly well - known in that region. a lot of people thought she might have been a daughter of apollo or even aphrodite, given her optimistic personality and blatant beauty, and were quite surprised when she was claimed by neither but rather by khione instead.

004. did they attend camp ?

as a summer resident at camp starke in airolo, switzerland for three years, clarisse thrived. she was a very trusted member within the camp and took part in both the organisation and distribution of roles during events. as one of the oldest camp members, it was usually clarisse who was assigned to look after the younger children since she usually had a few hours free throughout the day. she wasn’t the most fond of any sort of weapons training they had since she’s generally not the most combative and doesn’t particularly like handling weapons, but she enjoyed joining in with their games and camp traditions. clarisse had always been very much a city girl and is used to being the only person with powers for miles, so being in the wilderness around dozens of other children like her opened up her eyes a little. ( she still prefers the city, though. that will never change. )

005. was your muse ever sent on any quests ?

there was only ever one quest. during clarisse’s last year at camp stark, there was were rumours that the muses had stopped performing for the gods. about three weeks into her stay, the camp director suggested to clarisse that she may visit the oracle for the first time where she was told this prophecy with the intention of following its instructions :

un enfant de l’hiver et un enfant de la terre, chassera le vent et trouvera leur valeur. bien que ces deux visages familiers se recontrent la fin du voyage n’est peut - être pas douce. car un choix crucial doit - il faire, pour trouver ce qui est perdu ou tout mettre en jeu.

so clarisse and another camp member headed west, following the east wind to the pyrenees where they would through the mountains by car as it would be easier than going through the cities. it had been explained to them prior that the diadem of mnemosyne had been stolen from calliope after a performance in olympus, and that they were expected to retrieve it before zeus found out. not wanting to risk the wrath of the god of skies, they were given a seven - day deadline and were told to return within the week. they returned by day six after having killed a nemean lion and narrowly escaping the grasps of both scylla and charybdis. the diadem had been found in a temple on the pic des spijeoles, where it was revealed that eris had stolen it to get back at calliope who had been caught sneaking around with harmionia’s husband. nevertheless, both clarisse and her companion were rewarded for their troubles ( clarisse with a pair of ballet slippers that never wear down ) and they gained honours from the muses.

006. what’s their relationship with their godly parent ?

khione has been in and out of the prouvaires’ lives since before clarisse was born and has been present throughout her life, whether physically or not. it’s known that khione kept tabs on clarisse and would send her small gifts for her birthdays and achievements. she would often appear to them during their annual ski trip to the swiss alps, where she was always introduced as a family friend. needless to say, clarisse is a little bit biased when it comes to khione and does not like to hear a bad word against her. although she knows that the goddess has done wrong in the past, she often overlooks that in favour of her affections and insists that she has changed. to this day, she still sees khione at least once a year, and she still receives gifts from her, but only on her birthday.

007. your muse’s favourite part about being a demigod ?

i wouldn’t say there’s any one particular thing that clarisse likes above all else, but if she had to choose, it’s probably her siblings. she’s a very big family person at heart and has always made an effort to get along with her siblings, both mortal and demigod. she loves that her family does nothing but grow, and she loves that she gets to share a house with them and there are people who she can look up to and who can look up to her. she never has to feel alone when she lives with the knowledge that there are others like her and that she even shares blood with some of them. she’s also very fond of her cryokinesis. it’s such a large part of her that she truly wouldn’t know what she’d be without it.

008. your muse’s least favourite part about being a demigod ? trigger warning : anxiety.

the constant fear of being hunted down by a monster. albeit, she doesn’t have to worry so much now that she’s at eonia and she knows she is protected and safe, but in the six months between her attack and starting university, she was living in a state of near - constant paranoia that she ( or her family ) would be attacked again and it’s not something she ever wishes to repeat. she has had panic attacks in the past over it and still gets nightmares from time to time, but at this point, it’s a somewhat irrational fear, since she knows that there are demigods who have definitely had it worse than her. regardless, it’s still very real to clarisse and she attends therapy every month just to keep it all in check. she’s also become a little dependent on people ( mainly her friends and loved ones ) ever since the harpies attacked her and doesn’t often like to be left alone. that’s not something a stranger would ever realise about her, but close friends and family members definitely have in the past.

009. what’s your muse’s weapon and battle proficiency ?

i can confirm that clarisse absolutely does not like to use weapons and isn’t actually very battle proficient. she escaped from the namean lion by the skin of her teeth, and barely got away from aello. even though she used her aerokinesis against the harpy, she still managed to receive some pretty gnarly looking scars over her left shoulder ( they’re very visible and she tends to get self - conscious about them when she’s wearing anything sheer or sleevless ). of course, attending camp starke in her late teens, she was taught the basics in how to fight and use weapons, but she never would unless it absolutely called for it. anything sharp and she typically tends to run in the opposite direction.
