God parent: Hypnos
Power(s)?: Hypnokinesis - Bryony can adjust the sleeping patterns of others, remove the need to sleep from them and in supreme cases she can induce perpetual insomnia (which in a few days can kill you). Bry can also make someone wide awake or super tired at will.
Backstory: Bryony was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado (with German heritage) as an only child in a moderate-small house with decent income. Her life was fairly normal, she got averages grades and had a few friends but they weren't tight-knit or anything of the sorts. She grew up surrounded by extreme activists for equal rights, meaning that she was at home by herself a lot when her parents attended rallies. She unknowingly encountered a few monsters, but thought of them as nothing more than her imagination/imaginary friends. Bry started developing small hallucinations, and became obsessively attached to the characters within her dreams and her imaginary friends. She was diagnosed with Schizophrenia shortly after her grades took a significant drop; her parents began to worry. Bry spent all of her time in her room, talking to her 'friends' and sleeping for most of the day. Treatment bills started to pile up and her parents could no longer afford to keep her at home, so without thinking they explained that she was a Demigod and sent her off to Camp Half-Blood.
When Bryony arrived she quickly realized she should begin training immediately after hearing stories about the monsters she dreamt about, being real and dangerous. A month after she arrived at camp, she was claimed by Hypnos and has been sharpening her abilities ever since.
She was about 11 at the time and has been at camp for approximately 5 years now. (More will be added, i'm on my phone soo uh)
Strengths: Bryony is mentally and physically strong, she knows when to give up and what is actually worth fighting for. She is handy with her abilities, and isn't afraid to use them if the time calls for it. Bry is an excellent wielder of the sword, and has quite a lot of stamina. She tends not to get wrapped up in much trouble and is rarely scared.
Weaknesses: Bryony is a bad shot-- she can't hit a target that's two feet in front of her. Unlike most other demigods, she isn't very fast and tends to be clumsy (tripping over rocks, etc). Bry is very quiet and doesn't make friendships easily, she is usually seen as rude and selfish. She also has Schizophrenia which is a weakness in itself.
Weapon(s): Dormir (Sleep) is a Celestial Bronze sword with a leather-y handle. It is easy to use, especially with Bryony's fighting style that consists of slashing instead of the usual jabbing technique. Bry has tied a small green ribbon around the handle for easy identification.
Other?: Bry has a very noticable German accent.
She likes sitting under trees and sleeping.
