#rue's ocs : studying in america

[nyxedpages]

Zhang Hua, known as Lia Zhang. 22. She/Her. Reserved for Luna. Bisexual. Rebellio-born. Neutral Supporter. Born in Beijing, China. Raised in multiple countries. Currently living in Los Angeles for university. Nepo baby, but chooses to be private about her life and only lets people know limited information about her. Professional photographer, university graduate.

Lia Zhang is a calm girl who doesn't usually lose her temper. It takes a lot to hurt her, but she'll never hold a grudge - unless it's seriously bad. Lia's father, Kija, and her stepmother, Ivona, were major celebrities until their group disbanded and left the public eye. Lia has two sisters, an older stepsister called Yasmin, and a younger half-sister called Muna, that she loves more than anything, though she doesn't see them a lot due to them all choosing different countries for university. Her best friend is Evelyn Lindeay, or Evie Lindeay (or Evie Chen when in China). She's been friends with Evie since childhood, though she left for university whilst Evie stayed in Romania.

Got any mortal parent headcanons? I imagine Mr. Beauregard is named Sebastian and his chocolate store is Sebastian's Sweets. He has a jolly demeanor (until...). I think Castor & Pollux's mom (I assume/headcanon they have a mom) would form a demigod parent support group. She & her son would invite the mortal parents of Michael Yew, Lee Fletcher, Ethan Nakamura, Silena, & Charlie, among others.

I do! Mostly about my fave minor characters (who, at this point, are really just my OCs who happen to also show up in the narrative). 

Clarisse - mom: Madeline 

I’ve written about my HCs for Clarisse’s mom a bunch, so I won’t repeat many of them. But my biggest one is that she is from Arizona, and she has family in St. Louis and Louisiana. Her family were early French colonizers, so there haven’t been La Rue’s in France for about 400 years. 

However, she got accepted to study ballet in France when she was 15. She moved there, and soon after got a job with the Paris Opera Ballet as a dancer. She became a Principal dancer and danced with the company until she was 37. 

She had Clarisse when she was about 30. 

They moved back to America when Clarisse was 7 and she retired, because Clarisse’s grandmother had gotten sick, and she needed to help her father take care of her. About a decade later, after both of her parents pass away, she moved back to France and worked as a Ballet Master for the POB. 

Chris - mom: Katarina 

She grew up in New York City, but she left to go to college and graduate school. She has a PhD in Comparative Literature and works as a professors at The University of Michigan. Her primary research interest are Latinx and Hispanic travel narrative. 

She found out she was going to have Chris soon after she got her tenure-track job. She knew Hermes was a god, but he didn’t tell her which one. Had she known who Chris’s father was, she would have told him. 

When Chris went insane, Clarisse’s mom called her. While the two of them never become best friends, they do become close through the shared experience of having demigod children. They get the idea to start reaching out to other demigod parents to form a kind of support group. 

Castor and Pollux- mom: Rebecca 

There is nothing wine, theater, or madness about her, really, she is just a beautiful, kind woman Dionysus met once and instantly fell for. 

They had a very long relationship, at least by mortal/god relationship standards. (She talks to Sally once about Poseidon, and sees a lot of similarities between her relationship to Dionysus in the story.) They were both thrilled when they found out she was going to have a child, and even more excited when they found out it was twins. They were born with dark curly hair and dark brown eyes, taking after both parents. 

She lives in Brooklyn and is a Rabbi. Her home is always open to demigods in need, and she always invites Jewish demigods at camp to her home for holy days. Cecil is a regular. 

Because she’s a religious leader, she offers to take over running the support group from Madeline and Katarina, since she is more equipped to help people in times of great distress. 

Losing her son was one of the hardest things she’s ever had to go through. 

Through the support group, she connects with Lee Fletchers mother. They become very close friends, and, about five years after TBotL, they start dating, which is very strange for Pollux because he considers his relationship with Lee one of the great loves of his life. 

Lee - mom: Daphne 

She’s pretty sure 60% of Apollo’s attraction to her was because of her name. She didn’t care though. They had a lot of fun together, but the relationship wasn’t serious. 

She lives in Greenwich Village and owns a movie theater. She hosts a lot of indie and international films, as well as midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (complete with shadow cast) and The Room. 

She was devastated when Lee died, and she doesn’t know if she would have even been able to start a recovery process if it weren’t for Rebecca. 

Kayla - dad: Darren 

Her dad is trans.
