Name: Blair Von Der Wodsen
Age: Sevnt e e n
Birthday: June 31st
Birthplace: Wiltshire, England
Year OR Occupation: Senior
Who are you?: The Godess Artemis of hunt && moon
Personality: Blair, has a heart of ice.... She doesn't care if you're "important" or "strong", but how she first sees you as, is going to leave an imprint in her mind forever. You can never erase it - even if you desperately want to. She isn't quick to judge, but sometimes, you think she has a magical eye that can noticed everything that most people don't. She sees flaws quickly for they are the first things that stand out when you see a person for the first time. Some people say she's difficult and can't understand anything she says for she speaks with wisdom beyond her age at times. Yet others say she's too shallow, acting dumb and ditzy. Blair isn't the nicest girl ever. Even though she holds charisma that makes even her worse enemies like her from time to time. Maybe its the way that she can be downright rude to someone, all cold, yet... still be charming in that little way of hers. or it might be the way she twirls her hair all the time or how she twirls around in circles when no one's around.
The first impression you'll get from Blair depends on what mood she's in, or where you are. For example, finding her surrounded by a group of admirers and close friends is where you'll see a mirror image of Blair living her life. You'll noticed closely that though she looks in complete control - a small smile at her lips, hair perfect, her clothes always crisp, a faint smell of apple blossoms - her intense dark grey eyes are somewhat dead. Flat, no twinkle, plain, pleading. Pleading for help to escape from what everyone expects of her..... But then you might catch her alone with a couple of the people she actually considers friends and you'll the looks to all her friends, the smirks, - her eyes cold with... with what? Hatred? Pity? Both? Then you get the attitude from her, making you easily think that she's just another snobby mutant who thinks she's better than everyone - even her friends.
Blair, in short terms as most people describe her, is a rude and arrogant, vain young lady. She follows her own rules and does what she pleased, whenever she pleases. If she wants something, she goes after it and usually gets it. When in school, she smiles so much that the teachers trust her, thinking she's just the sweetest little doll. Which she is sometimes.... just not most of the time. She's not. She thinks she deserves the best and snaps at anyone who's not willing to step aside for her. Rumors start like a wild fire from her and secretly, everyone hates her. They think she's stuck up. But you won't catch them saying that to her face. Saying something rude and getting on Anna's bad side is more like sentencing you to a death sentence. She's stomp you down and ruin your life... do not get caught up in Blair's wrath.
She's rebellious by nature. Trying to bind her in ropes is usless, she'll always find a way to dodge something. She hates it when she's forced to do something and it takes the life out of her to do it. She's very flirty and usually can make the most loyal guys be tempted. She also has that annoying habit of throwing her head back and tugging on a locket that hangs around her neck. She's daunting and her eyes always seem to be daring you to come closer. Mood swinger, defines Blair so much. One second she can be throwing books at you, the next, hugging you. She can fool you with her sweet looks and nature... even when she's sick, she's still perfect. She wants to be different so bad, but she isn't ready to be different. She'll never be ready.
Of course, her personality is matched to the godess Artemis herself. She never wants to get married though, you couldn't say the same about staying chaste. She does have a rather cruel temper and has always favoured animals, plants and the night. Though now, she is a good archer. Everything that Artemis once did makes an impact on Blair despite the fact that she's her own self.
Picture:
Physical Apperance: Blair certainly seemed to have received the looks in which her family is famous for. Along with the vast riches she will one day inherit, Blair has inherited her mother's dark hair. A shade of black, in direct sunlight, it seems to glitter. Blair hates the fact that it's always so straight and perfect. It's glossy and cut right above the halfway point on her back. Course, as a rebellious teenager, Blair also went through the 'want to look nothing like you' stage. Actually, she's still in it. From time to time, you'll see dark blue streaks in her hair. And when this happens, you'll rarely see her out in public for her parents find it humiliating. She usually wears her hair down as if to cover her face from the world. If not, it's usually tied up in a half ponytail. It's very rare for her hair to be tied up completely in some fashion. She has the annoying habit of putting her hair behind her ears and twirling it.
From her pale father, Blair received her fair coloring. Sometimes thought as abnormally pale, her complexion is very light. A light shade of peach, her mother insists that Blair get some sunlight every now and then. She looks more alive with a tan which she gets quite easily. It usually takes only an hour or so to get her looking a healthy golden color. Though, usually in the winter, she emanates a glow in the moonlight. She also received her mother's petite size. Blair's rather small for her age standing at 5"3. Many heads tower over her when she walks in a crowd. Yet, she doesn't disappear. She walks with her head up high and shoulders back, acting like she owns the room. This makes her the one everyone wants to look at. It's as if she's in a magnetic field with her being the core.
The Von Der Wodsen's, have always been known for their odd eye coloring. It was if a union of two exact eye colored people in the past, ensured that their heirs would not get this trademark. That is, until now. Blair, had been the winner of a genetic lottery. Her eyes are the most striking feature on her face. A metallic, steel grey coloring, they're intense and look as if they could burn a hole right through steel, they tend to light up when she's either very mad or very happy. They're surrounded by dark lashes and are rather big. Though she doesn't need much make-up, they're usually surrounded with black kohl to make them pop out even more.
She has highly refined features that make her look of importance. Her back is always straight for she was taught that if you showed no fear, you will be feared. Which she definitely is by many people. She has a devious smile and has a charming attitude that makes her one of them, yet special in her own way. She's thin, yet not in a way that makes her look disgusting. And most of her friends tease her about her feet, which had very small. "Fairy Feet" they call them. She has rosy red lips that only need clear gloss to top it off. And her high cheekbones turn and elegant shade of pink when embarrassed. To sum it all up, Blair gives off the air of perfection, which she aims for.
Family:
Zeus - Father [Past]
Leto - Mother [Past]
Apollo - Twin [Past]

Lillian Von Der Wodsen [Present]
Aidan Von Der Wodsen - Twin - aka Apollo [Present]
History: Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. Leto had to find a place where the sun had never shone to give birth to the two due to a curse set by Hera, Zeus' wife, because she was angry with Zeus. For this, Zeus raised an island that had been floating underwater and not yet touched by the sun. The island was Delos, and Leto gave birth there, while grasping hold of a sacred palm-tree. Artemis was born first, on the 6th of the month. She then proceeded to assist her mother with the birth of Apollo, who was born on the 7th.
The childhood of Artemis was the goddess "who amuses herself on mountains with archery" as a child. At three years old, Artemis asked her father, Zeus, while sitting on his knee, to grant her several wishes. Her first wish was to remain chaste for eternity, and never to be confined by marriage. She then asked for lop-eared hounds, stags to lead her chariot, and nymphs to be her hunting companions, "sixty dancing girls, daughters of Ocean, all nine years old, all little girl sea nymphs." He granted her wishes. All of her companions remained virgins, and Artemis guarded her own chastity closely. Her symbol was the silver bow and arrow changed sometimes to a hunting spear.
Artemis wasn't a friendly teenager in her past life. With a temper that was always close to the surface. Such as one incident where she was once bathing in a vale on Mount Cithaeron, when the Theban prince and hunter Actaeon stumbled across her. Actaeon hid in the bushes and spied on her as she continued to bathe; she was enraged to discover the spy, and turned him into a stag which was pursued and killed by his own hounds.
Also to poor Adonis, Artemis killed him for revenge. Adonis was a favorite of Aphrodite so Artemis killed him to get back at Aphrodite for the death of Hippolytus, a favorite of Artemis. Orion was a hunting companion of the goddess Artemis. Artemis once loved Orion and wanted to marry him, but was tricked into killing him by her brother Apollo who was protective of his sister's maidenhood.
Artemis punished Agamemnon after he killed a sacred deer in a sacred grove and boasted that he was a better hunter. When the Greek fleet was preparing at Aulis to depart for Troy to begin the Trojan War, Artemis becalmed the winds. The seer Calchis advised Agamemnon that the only way to appease Artemis was to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia. Artemis snatches Iphigenia from the altar and substitutes a deer. Iphigenia is then transported to the Crimea and appointed as priestess in the goddess's Tauric temple, where strangers were offered as human sacrifice.
The most famed story of Artemis' past is this. A Queen of Thebes and wife of Amphion, Niobe boasted of her superiority to Leto because while she had twelve children (Niobids), six boys and six girls, Leto had only one of each. When Artemis and Apollo heard this impiety, Apollo killed her sons as they practiced athletics, and Artemis shot her daughters, who died instantly without a sound. Apollo and Artemis used poisoned arrows to kill them. Amphion, at the sight of his dead sons, killed himself or was killed by Apollo. A devastated Niobe was turned to stone by Artemis as she wept. Zeus had turned all the people of Thebes to stone, so no one buried the Niobids until the ninth day after their death, when the gods themselves entombed them.
But then she disappeared back upon Mount Olympus with everyone else. She became a myth, a dream, an illusion. Not knowing one day, she along with everyone she knew.... would be brought back to earth to restore peace.
Twas upon a cold summer's night that child was born. Her twin brother born quickly after her. The night was perfect. Clear black sky, moonlight from a fullmoon streaming through. Abet, it was really cold?Perfect yet cold. Just like the girl that was born. She was born inside the Von Der Wodsen's Wiltshire Mansion, huge like all the other ones down the road. Blair, had every child's toy imaginable and a fawning nanny who was with her 24/7. By the time she was three, Blair had already been through the baby age and was now demanding dolls and clothes. She never really had the terrible two's... but she certainly was having the terrible threes. She demanded everything and if she didn't get it, she would cry and cry. Driving everyone crazy.
When Blair was four, all her terribleness was fading away and the 'perfect' child was emerging. Everyone who met her said she was so lovely... and blah, blah, blah. Her parents had decided that she was now old enough to start coming with them to parties instead of just staying home with the nanny.
Time flew so fast in Anna's parents eyes and as Blair grew, her nanny had to say good bye and out came the tutors. Blair was certainly a pretty girl and it was proved that she was smart too. Her parents wanted her, like Aidan, to have a head start in their education. Piano lessons, art lessons, horse back riding lessons.... history lessons.
She was brought up into a world where being perfect only existed. Ever since she took her first breath of air, Blair, was like the doll of society. Her parents were both famous in their works. Blair and Aidan, was like the fraying end of their perfect life and all they wanted to do was mold her into the perfect child that could represent the world they lived in.
After years of having both kids stay at home with their Nannies, , they saw what a burden they were and sent the siblings to live with their grandparents in Northern France at the age of 7. They continued their lessons and were taught with much discipline and force that soon, Blair became to rebel. At the age of 8, she was already running off to who knows where. At eleven, her grandparents came to a final decision, she would go to Belle Fleur Academy. Her brother had been sent to another school earlier. Once there, her grades flopped and everything. They too saw her as a burden and sent her back to her grandparents, expel-lining her for 'lack of performance.' This was once by the time she was 11 years old.
SHe was homeschooled until a letter arrived for her telling her she had been accepted to Mount Olympus High in Greece. Without a word she accepted without her parent's knowledge and quickly telling them she was leaving soon, she was given money and a ticket and she left hurriedly when the new school year was supposed to start. She soon figured out she was the reincarnation of the godess Artemis of hunt and the moon. Which was a change from everything she had been through.
Now at her last year at Mount Olympus, she plans to make her best.
