Margaux Blackgem

Margaux (pronounced "Margo") Blackgem is the half-blood daughter of Melinoe, Greek goddess of ghosts and an unknown father.

Before Birth
Nothing much is known about Melinoe's affair with Margaux's father.

Early Life
When Margaux was born, she was unwanted by her mortal father and left her to the orphanage's doorsteps when she was barely three days old and didn't even name her. A nun was the one who gave her the name "Margaux", but she has no last name. When she was 7, she was adopted by a couple, the Blackgems, and went to live with them. They fashioned her last name after theirs.Over time, the couple bore a baby boy that they named Drew. For a few years, they lived in content and peace.

At the age of 14, a tragedy struck the Blackgems. They were all brutally murdered in their own house. Margaux was about to be shot, too, when a crossbow appeared in her hand and she shot him instead, three times until he had bled to death. Then, she went on the run, feeding herself with food she stole and sometimes from the garbage, and sleeping in alleys or secret nooks before meeting a demigod who led her to camp. She was claimed a daughter of Melinoe.

Physical Appearances
She has originally long brown hair, until she dyed it orange, green and blue. Her skin is pale white, almost transparent-looking. She had once been a chubby sort of child, until she went to the streets where she had almost had nothing to eat, so now she is quite thin. Her eyes are a strange, bronze color. She is of average height.
