Maya Arslan

History
Maya was raised by her father, Jonathan Arslan, who was left with her after Aphrodite left him. Jonathan, being a soldier in the US military, trained his new daughter in self-defense forms he learned all over the world. By age seven, Maya was a highly proficient Krav Maga practitioner. At age ten, her father started drinking, causing her to run away. Unaware of her demigod status, she was attacked by monsters disguised as people, but was able to defeat them with her father's training. This roused the attention of Chiron, who was in the area at the time, who took her to Camp Half-Blood and explained everything. Within four days of being at camp, she was claimed by Aphrodite, much to Maya's disgust.

She was immediately estranged from her siblings, as she was nothing like them. She hung around with the Ares cabin often, who described her as the sole tolerable Aphrodite child there was. She wasn't allowed to fight at the battle of Manhattan, much to her chagrin. After the battle had concluded and the war ended, she took some time away from camp. In an effort to further estrange herself from her half-siblings, she found a tattoo parlor and got a large blue tattoo that goes from her left leg, up around the left side of her torso, down her left arm, and on the lower portion of the left side of her neck. Upon returning to camp from this escapade, she began train furiously as to hopefully go on a quest one day. It is known by a few that she was the one to unlock the Aphrodite Cabin door to let Son of Ares Zack Johnson slip car grease into her half-siblings hair gel bottles.

Personality
Despite being a daughter of Aphrodite, she acts little like one. She enjoys fighting quite a bit, doesn't truly care how she looks, and refuses to care what others think of her. She is known to be rather smart when it comes to tactics, and less so on subjects such as math or science. She is known to be rather in your face about things and will be up front with her thoughts. A notable trait about her is her piercing yellow eyes, which are not normal for any demigod known.

Fatal Flaw
Maya's fatal flaw is her overconfidence, believing she can take on any challenge, when in fact the challenge could be far too great.

Fighting Style/Weapons
Maya fights normally with a sword and shield. She uses Stygian Iron for her sword and shield, and Imperial Gold for her shield. She also has a celestial bronze dagger she will use to reinforce her sword if her shield is lost to her. She is very brutal and precise in battle, always fighting to put down her opponent, no flashy swordplay involved. She also mixes in Krav Maga techniques to provide a slightly unknown edge to her fights.
