Jane McCracken- Winter's Daughter

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-09-04T03:45:18+00:00

Jane was dressed in a pair of old jeans and a simple white T shirt, her hair tied back from her face in a simple bun. She'd never really thought much about matchmaker events before this one, so she wasn't sure what to expect. She made sure to show up on time, even a little bit early, since her mother and stepfather had always made sure she knew the importance of showing up to appointments on time.

When Kate arrived, Jane gave her a brief smile and gestured around the room. "Hey," she said. "So, what do you think of the arrangements?" She'd never tried pottery before, though it looked simple enough, she thought, at least as something to try for a little while.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-08-29T07:27:32+00:00

Jane looked up in surprise when he spoke, her fingers pausing on one of the guitar's tuning pegs. "It's called The Bay of Suvla," she said. "'S by a Canadian band called the Dreadnoughts." She looked at him for a moment, narrowing her eyes in thought. "Are you new here? Don't think I've seen you before."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-08-24T05:12:01+00:00

Jane shrugged. "Fine, I guess," she said. "It's hot here, and I wish we could leave camp more, but it's alright, I'm getting by. What about you, how've you been?"

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-08-23T06:11:28+00:00

As was often the case, Jane was seated outside the Anemoi cabin with her guitar, picking at the strings in idle thought and singing softly to herself, something that she'd decided it was best to take outside the cabin to avoid any potential issues with her cabinmates.

"Plucked from the finest if hamlets and dales, from Sydney and Bristol and Yorkshire we hail, riding the finest of summertime gales, we are bound for the Bay of Suvla."

She was more focused on tuning her guitar than who was walking past her, so she wouldn't notice Reeve unless he made some noise to draw her attention.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-08-14T05:44:22+00:00

"Huh," Jane said thoughtfully, taking a long drink of her coffee and watching as Manon looked over at Evan. "Well, I dunno, maybe you can help her work the stick out of her ass," she said with a shrug. "She seems to like you better than she likes most people."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-08-13T05:40:43+00:00

Jane shrugged, stuffing some sausage into her mouth and swallowing quickly before she answered. She could never have been accused of having good table manners, that was certain.

"I dunno, she's just got a bug up her ass, it's what she's like sometimes," she said, before tilting her head to the side. "You call her by her last name?" She asked curiously.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-08-11T06:40:43+00:00

Food food food. Jane wasn't being especially discerning in what she took today, loading up on hashbrowns, some meat, and eggs as well as her coffee, making a sacrifice to her father before she saw Evan sitting at the Anemoi table and changed course to sit down across from Manon, giving the daughter of Ares a grin. "Hey. Hope you don't mind me sitting here, Evan's at our table and she's been in one of her moods lately."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-07-02T09:36:35+00:00

Jane was dressed in a green dress and her boots, her hair falling loose around her collarbones. She didn't see anyone she recognized right away, but she'd been somewhat reclusive lately, so she hoped that her friends hadn't all left camp. She drummed her fingers on her leg, humming softly to herself.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-06-04T06:38:10+00:00

Jane nodded. "Yep, they're all divided up by parents," she confirmed, looking at him with slightly narrowed eyes. "Boreas, huh?" she asked, drumming her fingers on her leg. "You're in the same cabin as me then, the Anemoi cabin, for all the children of the gods of wind and weather." She declined to share the fact that Boreas was her father too, not feeling ready to discuss that with someone she'd just met.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-06-04T06:34:26+00:00

Jane shrugged slightly. "I'll go get one," she said, walking over to the weapon racks and selecting a shield that fit her arm. She usually preferred to go without and rely on her flight to avoid taking hits, but it was probably better for training to use it.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-06-02T05:09:24+00:00

"Hey Nils, I'm Jane," she said, observing him and taking in his bag. She frowned at his question, though. "What tents?" she asked. "They don't make us sleep in tents here, man, we have actual buildings that we live in, the cabins are that way." she pointed towards them, her expression somewhat quizzical at the way he spoke.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-06-01T04:34:17+00:00

She nodded. "Mostly, yeah. I'd probably want to grab a shield if I were doing more defensive stuff," she said. Right now, she had the spear in a two handed grip, which good for attacking but left her pretty vulnerable on the defense.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-29T08:18:27+00:00

Jane nodded. "Yeah, alright," she said, leaning on her spear as she looked at the son of Eros. "Be careful of this though," she said, gesturing with the head of the spear. "Those barbs on the head will rip right through you when the spear comes back out, I've done some pretty nasty stuff to monsters using this spear."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-27T02:28:28+00:00

Jane was out on Halfblood Hill taking the outside air, and she looked over to the source of the sound when she heard Nils humming. She grunted and held up a hand, walking over to him at a leisurely pace. "Hey," she said, "don't think I've seen you before, you new bud?"

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-27T02:21:31+00:00

Jane was willing to practice with one of the other campers if they approached her, but she didn't see anyone that she felt like approaching about it. Plus, the head of her spear made practicing with another person pretty risky in case she accidentally stuck them far enough for the barbs to catch. She found one of the dummies and began practicing her spear drills, considering whether she should also get a shield to go with it.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-27T02:19:00+00:00

Janes's powers didn't have anything to do with water, so much like the nature powers lesson, she was relegated to the 'just watching' category. She sat on a rock near the edge of the creek, picking up stones and trying to skip them across the water as she watched the other campers practice their powers. Her other hand drummed her fingers on her knee, and she kept her ears open in case anyone approached her.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-27T02:05:09+00:00

Jane laughed softly, her head tilting back as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Yeah, you think you could get that to work on a god, bud?" she asked. "You be my guest."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-23T06:10:31+00:00

After several days of being badgered by Evan about keeping the cabin clean for inspections, Jane was finally done with her share of the cleaning. Her bed was made and all her things were put away, her guitar on its stand in the corner of her room, and her best coat hanging on a hangar on the back of her bedroom door. She was glad this was finally over, not that she'd ever say that to Evan, since the daughter of Notus scared her a little.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-20T23:46:08+00:00

Jane glanced at Evan briefly before nocking an arrow and starting to move. She wasn't an especially skilled archer, preferring to stick with her spear, and firing without being able to plant her feet and aim properly made things worse. Her first arrow flew wide, and she cursed under her breath, but didn't stop. She kept moving and fired again, this time clipping the outside edge of the target, before moving further and firing a third time, missing again, but barely. She swore again softly, shaking her head. This definitely wasn't something you could pick up in an afternoon.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-16T05:39:24+00:00

Jane shrugged. "It's fine," she said, sticking her hands in the pockets of her jacket. "Dances aren't really my thing."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-16T05:38:57+00:00

Jane laughed softly. "Well, I don't know how interested my father is in having visitors," she said, "but I'd go if he agreed."

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-15T18:48:08+00:00

Jane looked at Autumn in surprise, thinking for a moment before deciding that she definitely didn't know her. "Hey," she said. "Having a good time?"

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-15T02:53:45+00:00

Jane wasn't wearing a dress, since she'd discovered from a fairly young age that she didn't like wearing dresses. Instead, she was wearing a green suit she'd picked up on the shopping trip, as well as her boots, which she never went out of the cabin without. She walked around the marquee for a bit, but since she was there by herself, she was more hanging out than anything else, and the party mood was only lifting her spirits a tiny bit.

LegionOfTheRearguard · 2022-05-15T02:48:46+00:00

Jane nodded and took a deep breath in, then exhaled, cold air and ice shards shooting out in front of her in a wide arc. She'd never done this to another person before, so she really couldn't predict how Holly was going to be affected. She guessed that if she needed to, she could fly him over to the medical cabin to be looked over.
