Clarisse La Rue Is Down Bad.

Clarisse La Rue, the daughter of Ares. God of War. She's always been tough, rough and a bully really. She's aggressive merciless, a lot like her dad.

But—she folds like a Diphros okladias (A Greek folding stool for those who don't know) whenever you appear. This whole "I'll-beat-you-up-if-you-look-at-me-wrong" persona falters and crumbles completely when a words leaves your lips.

"Hey Clarisse! Nice sparring!" You could call and she'd straighten up, drop the boy she was most likely holding mid-air and smile. Yes. Smile. Clarisse can do that. Only around you though.

And was this obvious?

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So obvious, that her friend, Silent Beauregard—daughter of Aprhodite—who was an expert on love (duh...) had noticed it. Much to Clarisse's despair.

Now, emptying food into the fire for a small offering to the Gods, Silent decides to test her patience. Her will. And probably her sanity too while she was at it.
