• Name: Deucalion "Duke" Jakobowski
• Age: 16
• Descent: Demeter
• Description:
((It's anime because there were no good photos to be found))
Duke is thin, with little figure or muscle, and boney limbs. Her hands are large and skilled, with long, slim fingers. Her hair is is a rich brown, cut in a loose, spiky bob around her head, with bangs swept diagonally across her face. Her eyes are the same brown as her hair, with large irises and diluted pupils. Her eyes are angled, with a slightly elfin look about them, resting beneath slim, arched eyebrows. She has high cheekbones, a small, ski-slope nose and thin cheeks leading up to a pointed chin. Her skin, formerly pale, now seems to be permanently tanned, with a sprinkling of freckles across her cheeks and arms
Her style could he classified as punk/rock: light-weight hoodies, old band tee's (with the occasional environmental or Greenpeace thrown in for variety), ratty jeans, black converse high-tops, an assortment of arm bands and leather bracelets. She carries around her necessities in a messenger bag bearing the cover image from the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind the Bollocks" album. These necessities consist of: at least two books (normally dark comedies or psychology tomes), her collection of punk/alt. rock CD's and portable CD player (because she doesn't have a computer to keep an updated iPod), and orange TicTacs. Don't ask.
• Personality: Duke is honestly quite shy and self-conscious, but is always certain to project a kind of disinterested confidence. She's normally silent, unless the opportunity arises for a sardonic or sarcastic comment or joke. She's learned to disguise her essential disconnection to most people her age by being openly and proudly strange; using outdated slang in combination with an extensive vocabulary when speaking, proudly declaring her love for the most unusual bands she can find-- whether they be gypsy-punk bands from the west coast or Celtic-rock bands roaming Canada, or French pop artists or part of the original British punk movement. Her name has also created a sense of isolation for her-- her father, an ecologist who thought it was rad to pretend to be a Greek mythology buff, had no idea what kind of havoc he was releasing on her by naming her after an ancient Greek, male hero.
And, just to be contrary, Duke is a solid UNC Tar-heels fan, not a Duke Blue Devils fan. ((GO TARHEELS))
• Abilities: She is a daughter of Demeter, harvest goddess, patron of hippies (not officially), and, as such, can cause plants to grow in unnatural ways at unnatural speeds, or even to germinate where no seed lay. But she's not particularly proud of these powers. Her only aggressive skill lays with her speed and accuracy-- she duels by dancing around the edges of her opponent's guard, striking quickly and retreating. If she ever had to face an opponent head on, she would most likely be killed because of her notable lack of weight or much muscle. She's a great archer, although, of course, not even comparable to the Apollo kids, and a fast sprinter.
• Camp Half-Blood: Duke spends most of her days-- when not reading in the woods or talking to the draiads-- practicing archery alone or running laps around the practice arena. She is sure to practice sword-fighting at least once a week, and loves swimming in the lake. She doesn't relate much to her cabin mates-- all of whom are mortally infected by the hippie-earth-child bug-- preferring to spend time with the few friends she has in Hermes, Athena or Apollo, or in no company but her own.
