But if she were in REAL life she'd look like http://girls.gunaxin.com/wp-content/gallery/julianne-hough/juliannehough-05-big.jpg

Hobbies: Dancing, art, clubbing, dancing, gymnastics, karaoke, and dancing.

Personality: Upon first glance one would instantly assume that Haileigh is a snobby princess, due to her extreme beauty and her love for fashion and fun, which is precisely the assumption the group made of her when she first arrived at school with Neil. And while Haileigh is very much a fashion and fun loving princess, she is in actuality one of the most kind and caring people you could ever meet. Though had it not been for her experiences with Helen and her memories that greatly humbled and kept the feather light beauty grounded (and on quite a few occasions almost brought her to the brink of insanity), she surely would have turned out to be quite the opposite.

Her dream is to be a professional dancer...and she's not willing to give that up for anything. Her one vice is her selfishness and unwillingness to sacrifice her life and dreams to fight the forces of evil (which is why she blocked herself so she could not be detected by the Gods). She's had someone elses memories of that kind of life in her ever since she can remember...and she is quite determined to live her life the way she wants, and pursue her dreams of dancing.

Background: Haileigh is not a decendant, but is actually the reincarnation of Helen of Troy. All her life she's been plagued dreams about Troy but she didn't know what they were and she couldn't make sense of them. When she was 12 she had a near death experience where she drowned and while she was "dead" she basically lived Helen's memories and when she woke up, she had all of Helen's memories within her mind, as well as psychic/empathic powers. After being confronted by an Oracle (not the same one that the Titans go to) at 14 she learns that she is the reincarnation of Helen of Troy...which finally explains her dreams and Helen's memories of Troy. After witnessing what life was like for Helen, and seeing how weak and helpless the girl was, she swore to herself that she would never be that weak and talked her parents into letting her take classes in martial arts and medieval sword fighting, on top of the dance and gymnastics training she'd been taking since she was a small child.

Four years later, at 18, she once more has an encounter with the Oracle that had revealed her past to her. This time the Oracle tells her of the Titans, decendants of the Greek Heros of old, residing in New Olympia and their battle with Cronus. Curious as to what these other children were like, she arrives in New Olympia under the guise of attending the local Ballet Academy, which also works to her benefit as this academy offers her many more oppotunities than her previous school did. Both Hera and the Oracle of New Olympia sense the presence of someone with great power upon Haileigh's arrival, but they quickly lose track of her when Haileigh uses her powers to block her presence from the Gods. A couple days after her arrival she gets talked into doing a photoshoot, where she's lucky to meet Neil who quickly introduces her to his friends.

The Titans get to know and quickly trust Haileigh, eventually telling her their secret not knowing that she already knew who they were. Months and months after befriending Haileigh, with many of the Gods noting how familiar she looked but not being able to pin down where they knew her from, Hera is going through many of the Ancient Greek artifacts she had managed to save over the centuries and comes across a painting of Helen of Troy that she had saved from the ravages of time. To her utter shock the woman in the painting looks exactly like Haileigh, and Hera finally realizes who Haileigh is and that he was her presence that she had felt enter the city so long ago. Hera gathers the children, Haileigh included, together to tell them of her discovery. She implores Haileigh to aid them in their battle trying to convince her that it is her destiny, but Haileigh objects, stating she knows of the prohpecy, that it details seven children defeating Cronus, and they have their seven. She refuses to join, saying she wants to live her life, and her life is dancing. And she's not sacrificing it for anyone or anything.

Her refusal to aid them in their fight ultimately puts a strain on her friendship with the Titans, and while on numerous occasions they beg her to join and she immediately refuses, they know they can not force her to and it is her decision. In the end though, she does eventually agree to lend some help, they are her friends after all...but she's still not giving her life up for them. She'll only help if the circumstances are extremely dire.

While in New Olympia Haileigh also meets a young Greek girl named Harmony who is a year or two younger than her. They become close friends, till Haileigh finds a picture of her father and another woman in Harmony's locker. Upon questioning Harmony of the picture Harmony says it's her mother who died when she was little, and her father that she had never met. Discovering this Haileigh quickly confronts her father, who confesses that while in Greece on business many years ago he had an affair with another woman but he never knew that a child had come from it, thus giving Haileigh a half sister.

Weapon: At the moment she has none, and relies on her fighting abilities, which are enhanced by her ballet and gymnastics training. But since she is also trained in medieval sword fighting, I do plan on having Hephaestus make a sword for her. And it will be an epic sword indeed.

That's all for now for Haileigh's bio. I'll probably add and change and tweek it as I go along and such...but for the most part that's it. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Also...this background and history is only for my PERSONAL story that I'm going to be doing with Dan for our third season we're creating (and possibly doing a webcomic to)...and if it doesn't work for any story ideas that any of you want to role-play with...I CAN change it.

As it is...it's taken me ALL NIGHT to write this, and I'm off to bed lol.
