personality
LIKES: visual and performance art, the outdoors, fashion, winning competitions
DISLIKES: being belittled or proven wrong, inconsistency, her limitations, being ordered around
DREAMS: to turn her love of theatre into a career
FEARS: going unnoticed
Like any sixteen-year-old, to a certain extent, Regan thinks she's got the world all figured out and tucked neatly underneath her little wings. A fairly precocious person, Regan loves giving sage advice about things she hasn't experienced and making it seem like she's done more than she has. Sometimes, this runs her into spots of trouble, but most of the time, it can slide: there is no doubt in saying that Regan’s heart is in the right place. That, and she is very intelligent. It just happens to come off in a slightly superior manner and, as such, she comes across to many as slightly condescending.
A perceptive and compassionate individual, there are many causes that Regan deeply cares for. She has never been a bystander: viewing a problem, she is one who will do everything in her power to fix it. One of her biggest frustrations is the limitations on what she can and cannot do to help the people around her. A perfectionist in countless ways, Regan always needs to be in control. If she cannot conduct a situation to her liking, Regan turns irritated and, as such, easily makes herself feel inferior. She consistently overestimates the power she has: being the precocious teenager she is, she perceives herself as much more worldly and knowing than she is.
All this in mind, Regan has some very likable qualities about her. She is a deeply caring and loyal individual, though she can seem flighty on a smaller scale: while she might bail on a lunch date, she follows through on all of her relationships, so long as they are mutually healthy and beneficial. She’s not one who likes loose ends and ambiguous fallings out. When it comes to the important things, if she doesn’t get what she wants from someone, she may be fairly blunt about it: in no way is she one to drop hint after hint when she has a clear, reachable goal.

background
Angelica Wyebourne, herself, was born into a family of high achievers. Coming from a long string of high-achieving musicians, she was thrust into the craft from a young age: not only into music lessons and various choirs, but the industry itself. She made various appearances at impressive venues with her musical duo parents when she was in middle and high school, dabbling in musical theatre, as well. Her parents pushed her to do the best she could, and it was never a question what she would do with the rest of her life. She and her entire family would continue to make music.
It was through this craft that Angelica came across Apollo, the god of musicianship, among other things. Angelica and her then-best friend, Enya, were busking on a wealthy shopping street by way of making some extra money. Parked outside an ice cream shop with naught but an acoustic guitar, an open case for donations, and their voices, they attracted a small crowd; Apollo, disguised as an ordinary mortal man, happened to be among them. He’d heard many voices in his life, but Angelica’s swayed him: of course, you could teach proper technique and breath support and how to hit that one high note, but something you can’t teach your vocal students is how to sing passionately. That’s something you need to learn yourself and, by Zeus. Angelica’s voice dripped compassion. Apollo left after about fifteen minutes of listening to the girls sing, but not before he put his own donation in their empty guitar case. Among the one-dollar bills and dirty quarters was a folded piece of paper with his number on it. A phone call led to coffee shops led to dinner dates led to a shared bed, and nine months later, after Apollo had already taken flight and left Angelica alone, Regan was born. At this point, Angelica was aware of her partner’s identity: he had sat down and proven it to the cynical girl he loved. This was why he had to go, he said, and Regan needed a normal, supportive upbringing. But, he added, there was a place that would welcome her home, should her mortal peers not take her in with open arms.
Dubbed Regan for Angelica’s late cousin and Enya for the friend who had busked with Angelica, she grew up in an equally musical household. While Angelica raised Regan alone, she had a fair amount of money: not from her own musical endeavors, but from her parents, whose talents had served them unusually well financially. Regan attended her local elementary school through fifth grade and an arts magnet school in her home state of Florida from sixth to seventh with few problems except when it came to the standard dyslexia and ADHD; in fact, she was fawned upon, due to her immeasurable musical talent. However, she was, in the plainest sense of the word, unhappy. At age twelve, she was dealing with feelings of isolation and depression, and it was at this point that Angelica first considered sending her to Camp Half-Blood. A place with others like her daughter: it was thought that she would thrive or, at the very least, her life would be made easier. Angelica grappled with this question for roughly six months until she made her verdict. It was unfair to Regan that such a vital portion of her identity had been kept from her for so long, and this is how Angelica explained it to her. She detailed all the peculiar things that had happened to Regan since her birth and how they tied together, and how Camp Half-Blood would be better for her; being around other teenagers with the same heritage and questions as her would be beneficial for her mental health, she thought.
Indeed, arriving at camp and meeting so many kids like her for the first time in her life was helpful to Regan. While she still has mild depression, being immersed in a place that was so oddly familiar in so many ways was extremely beneficial and healthy. It was no surprise to anyone who knew her when Regan was claimed by Apollo six months into her stay at camp. While she mostly stays at camp now, while the war was in full swing, she chose to return home and stay uninvolved. She sides with the Greeks and Romans due to her parentage, but chose to leave and stay homeschooled until the conjoined camp settled. As such, she can be mildly ignorant about the struggles of those that did experience the war, as she had the rare opportunity to, essentially, cop out of it. However, she tries to be sensitive and mostly a harmless neutral on issues such as those involving the war.

POWERS & ABILITIES
Like any child of Apollo, Regan has been blessed to excel in terms of the arts. An expert musician, both in terms of instruments and vocals, as well as an exceptional poet and performer, Regan has been involved in the arts for as long as she can remember. Additionally, Regan has afflicted rhymed speech on other campers on more than one occasion, although she does not have complete control over this power: it happens accidentally, she finds, when somebody riles her up or she is otherwise irritated. While not an expert Healer in the physical sense, Regan is a beautifully empathetic person who can often make others feel better by telling them the right things. While this could just be a personal trait, she seems a little too good at it for this to be completely true. Additionally, Regan possesses moderate biokinesis, though does not take advantage of it in everyday life: When she wants to mix things up for a theatrical performance, however, she will take advantage of it. She is very shy about her powers and does not like to flaunt them. Additionally, she can mildly control light and fire, but is often careless and burns herself.
