the couple is definitely opposites attract, sunshine lover x sunshine protector, & friends to lovers! you can't change my mind about that, this defines their relationship from the start!
at first, your relationship was kept a secret from everyone! no one expected your relationship from a mile away, not even your own half-siblings. you were the sweetest girl at the camp whereas clarisse was the meanest girl there so you understood their assumptions.
(annabeth had a hunch, but she kept quiet wanting to respect your private relationship)
she was the hot-tempered, intense, and mean gf whilst you were the calm, sweet, and loving mediator gf.
you were soft-spoken, kind, sweet, often being an optimist, inheriting those traits from your mother, demeter.
favorite nickname that she loves; my dangerous wildflower!
a favorite nickname that you love: my gorgeous girl!
your love for nature was unconditional and clarisse encouraged it, as long as you were safe. from a young age, you had a deep connection with nature that your mortal father couldn't comprehend, but he didn't stop you. instead, he planned daily camps out in the woods so you can explore and love the outdoors.
makes sense if you're an outdoorsy girl, considering your power is at its strongest in the woods.
throughout your daily nature walks in the mid-afternoon with clarisse, you'd kneeled down, staring at the bare soil, telekinetically growing a beautiful daisy.
"for you," you smile, sweeping the tiny flower behind her ear, securing a loose curl.
she'd falter, surprised by the endearing action, blushing intensely as she accepted it.
"thanks, babe."
you kiss her cheek, intertwining your hands together as you two venture deeper into the forest.
to bypass quality time spent together, you'd do the other's favorite hobbies or go on dates.
clarisse would train you to spar, often worrying if you accidentally got hurt. to be honest, she's constantly stopping every few seconds to make sure you're alright.
"babe, i'm sorry, are you okay?"
"darling, we didn't even start sparring yet."
"just making sure, wouldn't want my gorgeous girl to get hurt."
forest dates were often frequent for the two of you. packing a picnic basket filled with gourmet of different treats and sweets, spreading out a blanket on the forest floor and clarisse would rest her head in your lap as you rambled on about your day. her eyes would twinkle in admiration at your tactics as you two gaze at the many clouds floating above, purely just basking in the presence of each other.
clarisse suggested that you carve your initials into a tree for your 1st year anniversary but you politely declined that. you adored the sweet and swooning suggestion but you just couldn't, the tree would have a marking, a permanent one, and nature couldn't erase it away. as a child of demeter, trees are emotionally bonded to you, refusing the risk of feeling the immense pain it had to endure purely for the benefit of your love with clarisse. you hoped that she understood and thankfully she did.
at first, clarisse was intimidated by your powers but didn't let it get to her head. she was so shocked yet impressed, despite not displaying it in her facial expression.
now whenever you show her your powers, she'd witness it in complete adoration. her favorite power of yours is when you communicate with animals, specifically deer. clarisse was certain that you couldn't get any more cuter.
your powers consisted of many:
botanokensis is the ability to mentally and/or physically summon plant life, regarding fruits and flowers.
limiting your knowledge of how dangerous some of your abilities can truly be, like toxikinesis: which allows you to control and create the amount of toxins in a plant or fungus. you hardly even use this power because of the fatality it may cause against you or others.
it's very rare to be given atmokinesis which is the ability to control climate, everything relating to the weather. luckily you gained that ability, but with a certain amount and limited time.
based on your emotions, especially anger or sadness, taphokinesis is decay manipulation, mentally/physically decomposing only plants. truth be told, if a majority of demeter's kids are angry, most of the flora surrounding the camp would wither in seconds, including the trees. trees are oxygen so without them, everyone is as good as dead.
initially, you're a fantastic chef, and as your gardening skills. gardening is your favorite hobby to do and it enlightens your day. during the day, it's common to walk upon a child of demeter, deeply invested in gardening in their spare time. they're definitely the leaders of gardening, you can't convince me otherwise.
cabin 4 is surrounded by wildlife, anything and everything relating to nature, due to its close proximity to the forest. inside of the cabin is very homey, green blooming vines detail the cabin as a soft-like greenery carpet covers the floor. the entire interior was similar to actual nature rather than other cabins.
you're very close with your half-siblings as you're one of the oldest. your siblings look up to you and you try to be a good role model for them, even teasing you whenever clarisse comes around.
i guess it's possible to be a healer too, alongside persephone's kids, discovering the remedies for various illnesses. some of your older siblings train in health care at the camp as healers.
sometimes, you create gifts homemade, flower crowns, and flower bracelets. anything you spent your hard time and effort on, clarisse would absolutely treasure it without any second thoughts. and it goes the other way around too. like she'd be so nervous at first, rocking on her feet, barely speaking with sense as she hands you the neatly wrapped-up gift.
bubbling up with anticipation clarissse would hesitantly observe your precise movements when unwrapping the gift and to see if your reaction shifted (even just a little) when the gift was revealed.
"do you like it...?" she nervously bites her lower lip.
your eyes sparkle in astonishment at her homemade gift, "oh, i love it, babe."
a big ass grin would overtake her features, and she'd smirk definitely thinking: 'oh i definitely knew that she'd like this!' as if the ares girl wasn't completely panicking over it a few minutes ago.
as you bring her in for a kiss. your girlfriend often resisted the temptation to linger on the kiss, but this time, she didn't.
flower crowns are her favorite gifts from you. she has saved all of them, collecting them in her cabin on her bureau for keepsakes. the flowers don't die out, your love revives them every day. (might make this into a drabble soon 😉)
take turns braiding each other's hair, you adore each other's hair texture, clarisse was curly and yours was (h/t).
absolutely convinced her to wear flowers in her hair and sometimes you match with the same hairstyle and the same flower. you love it so clarisse immediately adores it.
to the other campers, it's unusual to see clarisse so happy with you, and when you weren't beside her, that mean personality would jump out so quick.
she'd scold anyone who had anything to say about you. clarisse would also glare down whoever dares to snicker at the pretty flower used as an accessory in her hair or anywhere on her body, cherishing the gift from you and she'd go absolutely livid. how dare they make fun of your gifts?! best believe, they'll be receiving an ass-kicking later that day.
it was more common for clarisse to fight with someone and you'd be the one tending to her injuries (mostly little to none) afterward. you swear that she intentionally starts fights in vain, or defending your name. without explanation, she'll show up with a cheeky grin plastered on her face as you become her little medic.
