personality
LIKES: linguistics, other people’s art, emotional closeness, architecture, practicing the religion she grew up with
DISLIKES: being belittled, being isolated, being forced to take charge, her physical impairments
DREAMS: being able to make some sort of difference in the lives of younger campers, to settle down in a place where mortals live & live out her life as a mortal
FEARS: losing hearing in her other ear, being unable to adequately better herself
A very perceptive person, Anya notices everything. She carries a small moleskine with her to write down things she would otherwise forget. This also has its downside: she is an extremely self-conscious person, cautious and flustered when it comes to interaction with other people. It’s not that her will has left her, exactly, but a part of her grew up when she was deafened in one ear. She grew quieter and more reserved, kept to herself and promised she would never put her heart in another person’s hands ever again. When she trusts someone fully, she often overshares, putting herself in another difficult situation: she makes herself vulnerable all too easily. For the most part, though, she is small-faced and can be off-putting, while she means the best. She may come across as intimidating, but it is only because she finds social interaction difficult.
There is no doubt about it: being the daughter of wisdom herself, Anya is very sharp and intelligent. There’s a question that arises, however, and that is: how does she effectively apply this intelligence? She doesn’t. Anya was not a good student when she attended her local high school. All her teachers said the same thing about her: she was too smart to get below average marks. And this is all because Anya dislikes authority. She cannot effectively deal with being told how to do things, and always feels like she has something to prove about her independence. As such, she can come across as reckless when it comes to her future. Anything but, Anya is meticulously careful: small details are what she pays attention to. As such, she often avoids the bigger picture. She leaves small things for her to deal with alone until they pile up and she finds herself overwhelmed. Constantly high-strung, Anya does not often come across as cheerful or free-spirited; quite the opposite, she seems bogged down and tired.
At the moment, Anya is at a point of shifting and transition in her life. Uneducated about the war and adjusting back to life with more demigods than mortals is no easy task for anyone, and Anya feels unequipped to do it. She left Camp Half-Blood before its demolition, and she left on bad or unclosed terms with many people. As such, she is very hesitant about what she does our says; while her mind is constantly whirring with thoughts and ideas, she is not particularly inclined to part her lips and share them. Constantly shifting, Anya is rebuilding herself as we speak.

background
Carson Leahy had always had trouble holding things down for long enough. All his romantic involvements seemed to be naught but fleeting moments stretched few and far between, peppered with letdowns and hurt. Whether this was something in him or a rotting quality in all the women he involved himself with, he didn’t know; all he knew was that his sexual and romantic relationships didn’t benefit him enough for them to be worthwhile. Turning away to focus on his work, Carson thrived as a stage manager for various productions around the Northeast Coast.
After several successful shows, when he had money and time to spare, Carson decided to try again. On a blind date, per chance, is where he met Athena who, in turn, introduced herself as Athene Newman. Posing as a struggling actress, the type Carson was all too familiar with, she drew Carson in before they so much as ordered dessert. A lonely man who had been shunted to the side while all his friends found themselves in and out of numerous relationships and many eventual marriages, he was eager to try again with anyone he could get his hands on.
And so he did. The involvement was fast and reckless and strictly downhill; Carson pushed and forced, all while peppering the woman he knew as Athene with gifts and praise and statements of adoration. These led to a one-time sleepover in Carson's apartment and, against her best wishes, Athena discovered she was pregnant with Carson’s child. It was as soon as she realized she was pregnant that she told Carson of her identity and fled.
As it happened, she gave birth to not one, but two children: Elias and Anya Leahy were born to the goddess, who left them in a basket on Carson’s bed while he was out working. They were named for Carson’s late aunt and uncle, who had perished in a car crash around the same time he had been fooling around with the goddess of wisdom.
How was Carson to raise his children? His career was thriving, but he had still not managed to find love. His relationship with Athena was his glowing ideal of a positive relationship, which gives us some insight into his skewed perception of relationships as a whole. Carson was hardly ever home. When his children were very young, they moved from an apartment to a fair sized home on the outskirts of a smaller city. It was then that he hired a nanny for them.
Susanna DeLeonibus appeared to be naught but an ordinary thirty-something woman. Conventionally pretty in a way that demanded no attention, controlling and kind and genuine, she was the closest the children had to an active parent. While Carson took care of the financial aspects of his children’s upbringing and made sure said upbringing was actively Christian, Susanna was essentially their sole source of loving and caring. When it came to Carson and Susanna, they had a strictly business relationship, knowing nothing of each other; unbeknownst to Carson, he had hired a daughter of Morpheus to watch his demigod children. As such, her presence rubbed off on the children slightly. Anya has retained one quality from her years under Susanna’s care: she is an avid lucid dreamer.
It was clear to Susanna what Elias and Anya were and, when they were in elementary school, she made the decision to talk about their parentage with Carson. While Carson was aware of his ex-lover’s divine status, he had planned on raising Elias and Anya as mortals, never having them involved with camp or the gods in any way, shape, or form. His raising them Christian was a part of this plan. He believed it was better for the both of them. Susanna disagreed with him on this front. “I’ve seen your children struggle with their schooling and social lives and identities,” she told him sharply, “and I can tell you with all my confidence that camp is a better place for them than this house could ever be.” And so it was. When they were eight, Elias and Anya were brought to the camp and claimed by Athena six months in.
Several years after Anya initially arrived at camp, when she was a very young teenager, she was wandering late at night in the woods on the outskirts of camp. As it happened, so was another camper, roughly her age. A son of Ares, Amadi Dumisani (to be created and played by Pol), had had the same idea. Mutually mistaking the other for a monster, the two got into a brief tussle before realizing the other was naught but another camper. Before the night was over, they came to the realization that they had several views in common. An introverted, socially anxious person, Anya was glad to have hit it off with someone who had the same reasons to be embarrassed that she did. She was grateful to have a friend.
However, while that is what she dubbed Amadi - a friend - the two butted heads on a very frequent basis, having differing opinions on many things. However trivial, the two always managed to get in small fights. Both were stubborn and opinionated, albeit in entirely different ways. Amadi was a much more physical person than Anya, and was hurt and on bad terms with Anya’s then-closest friend, a legacy of Hypnos by the name of Seamus. While the circumstances of said negative relationship may have been trivial, the consequences were not. This discomfort escalated into violence and, during a physical fight between Seamus and Amadi on the battlefield, things began to escalate. Anya arrived, attempting to break up the awful fight, and in frustration, Amadi pushed her down; she landed on the ground and obtained a physical head injury, which resulted in a skull fracture and a hole in her eardrum, as well as damage to inner ear structures. After an extended period in the hospital wing, Anya was declared deaf in her right ear. After a long time of attempting to navigate camp with her unfamiliar disability, Anya decided the best path was to be home with Carson, dealing with her feelings of isolation and betrayal in the uncomfortable silence of her old home. It was then that she turned to her old religion and nearly forgotten lucid dreams to get her through day by day. She believes that more than one set of gods are real, and she chooses to pray to the Christian God as opposed to her mother; additionally, she utilizes lucid dreams to live out an alternate reality she might have had if she had not gone deaf.
It was around the time Anya returned home that the war began to bubble to the surface; Anya has yet to rebuild any relationships and is just now arriving to the post-war camp for the first time.

POWERS & ABILITIES
Like all children of Athena, Anya has a natural skill of weaving, as well as enhanced perception, memory, and intelligence. Additionally, while she may not feel particularly inclined to be involved in physical combat, she is good at it. She can master the use of certain weapons while having had minimal practice using them. She sometimes finds herself being able to take advantage of telekinesis, moving objects around with naught but her mind.
