Jaina Mapleleaf

"'You don't know how important this is! You're a halfblood, have you ever had to prove you weren't weak?'""-Jaina to her boyfriend, Tyler, regarding the Camp Olympics."Jaina Mapleleaf is a female nature spirit, or nymph. She is connected to a Red Maple tree.

Appearance
Jaina is a lean and muscular female. She has long, wavy, red hair that slightly changes according to the seasons (pronounced red in spring and fall, twinged green in the summer months, and reddish brown in the winter.) In spring she has flowers in her hair, and leaves in fall. She has green eyes. Her skin is a deep, dark brown. She has pointed ears, like an elf. Her skin is dark brown, with green undertones. Her blood is tree sap.

Jaina wears light clothing, usually a cream top and brown skirt. In colder seasons, she will done a brown sweater or jacket. She usually walks barefoot, but will wear shoes in winter or on harsh terrain.

Personality
Jaina has a sweet and kind personality, with a slight dose of mischief and curiosity.

She has a hatred for those who disrespect her forests, and halfbloods who decide to leave a pop can on the ground near her tree might have some very bad months ahead.

Jaina doesn't like it when things are not fair for nymphs, or when halfbloods show discrimination towards them. It can trigger her anger.

Jaina's fatal flaw is her habit of holding grudges against people. They don't start easily, but when someone causes her a great deal of pain or anger, she will find it hard to forgive them.

History
Early Days

Jaina was planted by chance an unknown amount of time ago. Around 10-20 years later, Jaina emerged from the Red Maple tree, and took a human form. She spent her early days hanging out with the various nymphs in the forest.

She first ventured to camp around a week after taking her human form. She met Chase Evans and many other people.

Jaina took part in the Battle for Olympus, healing Chase and helped him fight Menelaus. After his death, she delivered a eulogy at the funeral.

After Death

After Chase’ Death, Jaina began to take a more active role at Camp Halfblood. She decided to run for Matchmaker, winning after several elections. During the first event, Jaina met Tyler, her current boyfriend.

Jaina also decided to learn how to read. She began practicing, and even started writing articles for the camp newspaper, the Camp Chronicle.

Jaina was dissatisfied with her lot in life as a nymph, generally considered weaker then halfbloods. Jaina decided to participate in the Olympics in order to prove her worth. She lost the first few trials. During the Boar Trial, Jaina became angry at her teammate after he was turned into a dolphin by Diyonisus, forcing the team’s disqualification. She still carries a grudge.

After a successful run as matchmaker, Jaina decided to step down from her role, and run for Games Coach. She won.

Jaina considers herself a friend of Chase's. She has had multiple interactions with him, and they have been positive. She was extremely upset when he died.
