Mara Joyce

(Note: Mara Joyce, although she shares her first name and appearance with a Star Wars character, Mara Jade-Skywalker, a Jedi Knight and wife of Luke Skywalker, Joyce has nothing to do with Jade-Skywalker. And neither does Jacen Hope, Mara's best friend, as he also shares his first name with Jacen Solo (later known as Darth Caedus), the grandson of Darth Vader, former Jedi Knight, and Sith Lord.)

Mara Astrea Joyce (b. 1996)  is an unclaimed demi-goddess of either Greek or Roman descent. She is the only daughter of seemingly-mortals Jacinth Robinson and William Joyce, and the best friend of Jacen Hope and Charlie Graywood. She will appear in the upcoming Heroes of Olympus fanfiction series (The Secret Weapons) by the fanfiction author PromptDreamer-PSAscience.

Early life
Mara was born in Boston, Massachusetts at 6:18 P.M. on 7 March 1996 to a bank teller (Jacinth) and a chef (William). However, one of her parents must not be her actual parent, as she is a half-blood (but she is currently unclaimed). For some unknown reason, she was born under a curse: cursed flowers would appear everywhere she went, even inside the bathroom, and whenever someone would try to touch the blossoms, something bad would occur to them like: being choked by invisible hands or instant death (except for Mara herself). Also, Joyce's hair would always fill itself with flowers, no matter how hard she tried to remove them.

When Joyce was 4 years old, her family moved to Brooklyn, New York, where she grew up for the rest of her childhood. Strange incidents have happened such as: when some bullies teased her about her family, flames suddenly burst out of the ground and burned the bullies, scaring them off; and when her math teacher tried to punish her for not answering the teacher's question about Albert Einstein, the teacher suddenly fell down and became unconscious. Joyce later deduced that this was a result of her teacher touching her flower-infested hair.

Later life
She studied at Cameron Washington Academy for the Troubled, where her only friends were Jacen Hope and Charlie Graywood and she kept being made fun by her peers. On 23 September 2009, Joyce and her friends were attacked by a vicious centaur and some gryphons, but a satyr Nigel and half-bloods Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Frank Zhang saved them from the monsters. They were then brought to Camp Half-blood, along with Hope's younger sister, Holly, who was claimed by Apollo during that night's campfire. Strangely enough, she, Hope, and Graywood were not claimed by their godly parents that night, but Annabeth assured them that it was probably because their parents were busy at the moment and would claim them sooner or later. They also made enemies with two Ares/Mars girls, Darcy and Carolyn, and of course, Drew from the Aphrodite cabin.
