What does looks have to do with it

Overall: Grant is currently only four feet six inches tall making him on the shorter side for a boy of twelve years old. His big brown eyes are always flickering from one object to the next as he keeps account of everything in his surroundings. His brown hair is normally cut fairly short and he enjoys keeping it pushed to the side like the 'cool kids.' Grant is often cooed over by the female demigods for his cute smile, but it is his neutral frown that is usually present. In the summer months, patches of freckles begin to appear across Grant's cheeks. Also, the hidden green in his eyes becomes more apparent during the summer months making his eyes appear more hazel than brown. Since he is young, Grant loves to play around in the dirt and go on adventures and because of this, his hands and knees often have small scratches on them while a few bruises dot his legs.

Personality: Grant is a very observant and clever boy. He is only twelve, but understands more than people think. Grant is not easily fooled and prefers to be the one fooling others. Along with tricking others, he also enjoys spying on and following the other demigods. Because Grant is so small, he can easily slip into spaces that most of the other demigods cannot. Grant has a short temper and like his mother, he has no problem plotting revenge on anyone who crosses him. Grant is bipolar and so this temper can be triggered by almost anything. He loves to spend time outside and Grant also loves when he is included with the older demigods. The two things that can set of his temper quicker than anything else is when he is underestimated or forced to follow orders. Grant wants to be treated as an equal and always be in charge.

So whats your Story
History: Grant grew up in a house that most would call a mansion. His father was the owner of a large company, but never seemed to have time for family life. Grant grew up watching as his father had girlfriend after girlfriend and wife after wife. With all the wives, Grant's father also accumulated several children, most, however, were older than Grant. This is because Grant was his eighth child and he refused to take custody of any more of the children with his later wives. Grant became accustomed to being alone in the large house at an early age. He occupied himself by spying on the servants and following his step brothers and sisters.
Grant saw his father as a role model, but always yearend for the bond he could practically feel between the other boys and their fathers from school. Because his mother is Hera, goddess of marriage, Grant was also very sensitive about his father's numerous marriages. He would often purposefully try to end the marriages because in his mind, only his father's first marriage was valid. Although he was only ten, Grant would often come home from school with a black eye or other injury. These injuries were often the result of his short temper causing him to pick fights with the older children. Finally, Grant was expelled and his father was forced to hire a private tutor.
Grant enjoyed being home schooled since it meant he could escape lessons much more easily. This also meant, however, that he witnessed his father with his many girlfriends much more often and this pushed Grant's limits. One day, Grant managed to finish his lesson early and immediately rushed to find his father. Hoping to have some quality time with his father, the young boy did not expect to walk in on his father proposing to what would become his tenth wife. Fury took over the small boy and he began to scream and demand that the only true wife of his father was his mother. Grant's father quickly lost his own temper and informed Grant that his mother was not his father's first girlfriend and they had never even been married. Crushed, Grant ran away.
As he wandered through his neighborhood, he noticed a strange woman farther down the road. The woman was too far away to see correctly, but something about her caused Grant to follow her. No matter how fast he ran, he could never get any closer to her. Finally, Grant lost sight of the oddly familiar woman in the woods. Frightened, alone, and lost, he began to wail and cry until a strange, half horse half man creature found him. Grant was quickly taken to Camp Half Blood where he has lived for the past two years.
