User:Respire: Daughter of Demeter

Hello! I am Respire, Daughter of Demeter.

I was born before any other half-blood in Camp Half-Blood (though I am not a half-blood myself, I am a minor goddess). I am every breath that any living thing ever takes, which is why when I appear in a human-like form, I use my nose to smell rather than breathe.

In physical appearance, I chose to appear as a human-like creature with snow white skin and hair, as well as clothing. I like to wear a dress that is made from the silver lining of a cloud, which is usually so long, you cannot see my legs or feet! I like to travel through the air or wind, drifting into and out of the current whenever I please.

Though I am a minor goddess, I am quite powerful. I can control the breathing of any living thing in the world, and my power can span over large cities like NYC at one time. I can choose to give a newborn baby its first breath, or let a weed suffocate and wither away. On a good day, I like to visit hospitals and save those in need of oxygen, or sit in a forest and feel the trees breathing lightly around me. One of my favourite places to go is Camp Half Blood, where I unofficially reside when I am not elsewhere. I love to sit with a half-blood after their quest to hear the long awaited story of their journey, or feel the rush of adventure as the half-bloods attempt to capture flags from their opposing teams (sometimes, I tell a team where their opponent's flag is, just to speed up the action, but you didn't hear that from me!). My favourite half-bloods include Annabeth Chase and Silena Beauregard (however, ironically, I also favor some of Artemis' Hunters).

I offer advice to those who I trust deeply. I can never be forced to speak, but when I speak, I speak only the truth. Since I travel the world a few times each day, it may be rumored that I am also the goddess of gossip, though I am often disinterested at what is considered gossip (although I could be Annabeth and Percy's biggest supporters).
