Name: Deryn Peters
Nickname: No nickname, but often when she introduces herself, people will say "Isn't Darren a boys name" and she'll tell them "Not with a Y"
Age: 14, imoratally.
Gender: Female
Birthday: March 1st, 1929
Godly parent: She's a hunter of Artemis.
Mortal parent: Elena (daughter of Apollo) and Glenn Peters.
Mortal siblings: Andrew, her 11 year old brother.
Demigod abilities: Since she's only 1/4 of a demigod, her abilities aren't as sharp as everyone else's. However, Apollo gave her a great shot, and a decent singing voice.
Fatal flaw: She can't escape the past.
Likes: Hunting, shooting arrows, singing, and drawing.
Dislikes: Being bored, reading, playing insterments (she can't seem to pick up on anything...) and when people talk about her name.
Fears: Losing the hunters like she lost her own family, and discrimination.
Personality: Deryn is reserved. She doesn't open up to people very easily. She hates talking to people, and will say as little as possible. She would be a spectacular leader, but she doesn't want to lead anyone. She doesn't have enough faith in herself. She's quite self conscious, so she always tries to look as nice as she can. She always thinks that she needs to prove herself, even though she's done it many times in the past. She's not very exposed to things; she doesn't always understand when someone makes a dirty joke. Deryn is quite proud of who she is though; half Dutch, half Welsh, full Jew. She will generally stay pretty quiet in a fight, but if you insult her culture she will take you down. She's quite fond of singing, and she's not afraid to do it in front of people, she just doesn't make it a priority that everyone knows that she's talented. Frankly, she doesn't really care. When people get her alone, she can be a pretty cool person, you just have to know her well enough. Overall, Deryn is a nice person with quite a few walls built around her.
Hobbies: Even though hunting takes up quite a bit of her time, she always makes time to sing a little bit, and read the Torah.
History: Deryn was born to Elena Peters in Amsterdam in the year 1929. She was named after her Welsh grandmother. Her father, Glenn, was from Amsterdam, so her family decided to live there. Growing up, Deryn was a very devout Jew. She went to the Sinagog on Saturday, read the Torah, and was quite proud of where she came from. Then, Hitler invaded Holland. When they had to start wearing the Star of David on their chest is when Glenn and Elema knew that they had to get out of there. Unfortunately, her family was caught before they could escape. They were shipped off to Sobibór, a German concentration camp. There she was tortured, r***, and underfed for 3 months. In 1943 though, some prisoners planned am escape. 300 people ended up escaping that place, Deryn being one of them. Her mother and brother were killed before the escape, but she never knew what had happened to her father. While on the run from the Nazi's, Deryn ran into the hunters of Artemis. She eventually joined in order to protect herself from being sent back to a Concentration Camp. After the war was over, she managed to look around to see if her father survived. After years of secretly searching, she discovered that he was killed a few days after she escaped.
Backpack essentials: Bow and arrow, Torah, and an old picture of her family.
Magical items: Nothing really, just her bow.
Weapons: Bow and arrow
Fighting style: She tries to avoid directly fighting people, because she doesn't want to start another war. She stands back and shoots people when nessary.
Nationality: Half Welsh, half Dutch. All Jewish.
Race: White
Hair color: Black
Hair style: She likes to have her hair as long as it can be, because the Nazi's forced her to cut it short, and this was her act of defiance. She's horrible at doing hair, so she always has one of the other hunters French braid it for her.
Eyes: Dark brown
Build: She never really gained back the weight she lost in Sobibór, so she's quite thin.

Romance: She's a hunter, so no. Ever since she got r***, she doesn't trust any boys.
Death: From a gas chamber, like her people.
Anything else?: I think that's it!
Like I said, I know you already have a spot filled for a Hunter, I just wanted to submit her for the heck of it. I'd love it of you could use her, but I understand if you can't. Let me know what you think!
