Rachel Hughes

Rachel Maria Hughes is a daughter of Apollo and the second oldest of four children.

Appearence
Rachel doesn't have a typical daughter-of-Apollo look. She has dark/light brown hair (depends on the lighting) and dark hazel eyes that usually have a green tint, but sometimes a brown or blue color. She doesn't have overly pale or tan skin, and she has a few freckles.She is about 5'3. She almost always wears makeup.

She's got quite a few scars as well. She has a small one on her chin, and one on her forehead that she uses her hair to hide. There's a scar on her stomache from a fight she was in, and a few others on her arms and legs from other fights or accidents.

Personality
Rachel is typically a nice person. She's usually polite to people, and has a lot of morals. However, she tends to get frustrated at people easily, especially if they're doing something rude or annoying (even if they don't necassarily realize it). Though she tries to keep calm during these times, it can sometimes be a little hard.

Rachel is, however, very pessimistic at times, and has a low self-confidence, despite her sometimes seemingly arrogant personality. She tends to be a bit of a smartass or disrespectful sometimes to certain people. She would be considered depressed. She doesn't usually express this side, though.

She's also very absent-minded, and can get distracted pretty and lost in her own world easily.

She's also very protective of the ones she cares about. She's also got a soft spot for small children.

History
Rachel was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and lived there until she was seven years old, when she moved to Seattle, Washington with her mother and sister Skylar after Hurricane Katrina

However, only a few months after this, Skylar, angry over her mother's protectiveness and the change and damage the storm had caused, ran away. Their mother sank into a deep state of depression after this, as Skylar was her (somewhat obvious) favorite.

About a month before Rachel turned 14, their mother, obsessed over getting Skylar to come back, decided to send Rachel to a bording school in Colorado in an attempt for her to come back. It was here Rachel found out she was a demigod.

Fatal Flaws
Absent-minded- Though it can be good sometimes, if you're a demigod, it can make you a breathing, unobservant human buffet.

Memory- After an accident when she was fourteen, Rachel has had severe memory issues. Though she regained enough to know who she is, she does not remember a large part of her childhood, and will occasionally forget what she is doing, where she is, who people are, etc. However, unless it was triggered by an injury or some other trauma, it is usually something minor.

Indecisiveness- Rachel can have a hard time making decisions sometimes, as she is very hesitant to end up chosing something wrong and end up hurting herself or others, or missing opportunities that may have appeared.

Depression-At times, Rachel can become very depressed, effecting the way she acts, talks, and even fights.

Illness- Different types of cancers and other diseases run in her family.

Fears
Apiphobia & Vespaphobia- Fear of bees and wasps

Claustraphobia- Fear of having no escape and being in small, closed spaces

Fear of Memory Loss- She is terrified at the thought of forgetting things.

Weapons/Possesions
Hunter's Bow, Arrows, Quiver, ect.

Silver dagger

SLR Camera that paralyzes the people/creatures it captures and reveals invisible objects.

Healing
Rachel can heal people by singing a prayer to Apollo. The more critical the injury or illness is, the harder it is to heal, and takes much more energy. Some diseases or injuries she is unable to fix, and can only heal part of it.

Biokinesis
Rachel has limited biokinesis, or the ability to change one's anatomy. This allows her to change her appearance to a certain extent, but this can also be helped by light manipulation, as it does not go much farther then changing her eye, hair, and skin color. It also allows her to help heal herself if injured.

Photokinesis
Rachel possesses photokinesis, or the ability to manipulate light. This allows her to decrease or increase the light in a certain area, as well as the warmth of an area. She can create orbs of light. She can change the color of an object, though the greater the object the more difficult it is. She could also cause someone inparticular to see darkness or extremely bright lights, but only mentally, affecting only those she wants it to see. It can also allow her to create small illusions.

Precognition
Rachel has a sense of precognition, or knowledge of the future. This is often in the form of dreams, but not always. It usually doesn't give her a full idea or knowledge of the event it tells her about, either.

Archery
Being a child of Apollo, Rachel is very good at archery.

Natural Healer
Excluding her healing powers, Rachel has a natural sense for the medical arts.

Excels in the Arts
Rachel is very good at art, music, and other forms of the arts.
