Lark hated that her mother judged her by her powers, not her personality.
Father (name): Tyler Thornston
Relationship with him: Lark hates him, he went along with his wife's decision, and Lark has always felt that she should have been her father's favorite daughter, seeing as she is a natural hunter and that's what he loves to do.
Siblings: Ashley Ellen Thornston and Anna
Birth order: Anna was born almost a decade before Lark. Ashley was born not to far ahead of her, seeing as they're twins.
Relationship with each: Lark and Ashley argued a lot, Ashley would be a snob and Lark would insult her (not always in that order) and both were relieved when Lark finally left the house. On the other hand, Lark loves Anna, and will do just about anything to protect her.
Children of Siblings: Luke and Selena
Extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.): A mortal grandpa and demigod grandma as well as and aunt, uncle and girl cousin she's met occasionally. Lark had made a mental note that her aunt and uncle live in New York in case she ever needs a ride to camp. Her cousin inherited some enhanced speed from her great-grandfather Hermes.
Close to family? Not to any except Anna and Artemis, though she really liked her cousin.
CHILDREN
Does character have child(ren)? No, definetly not.

OCCUPATION

How many years? None.
Relationship with co-workers? No work=no co-workers
Like his/her job? She loves not having a job!
Why or why not? Because its nice not to have to work at age eight.
Dream job: Being a hunter of Artemis. She wants to be older before she joins.
ATTITUDE
Greatest fear: Fire
Worst thing that could happen to him/her? Being the only one that can save everyone sh loves, but not being able to because she has no powers and is surrounded by fire.
What single event would most throw character's life in complete turmoil? Losing her friends at camp. They're the closest thing she's ever had to family.
Character is most at ease when: She's in the forest, hunting. She doesn't have to deal with relationships there, something that are very complicate for demigods and she's never been good with.
Most ill at ease when: She has no powers, she feels helpless and useless.
Priorities:
Philosophy:
How s/he feels about self: She's confident with her powers, but without she's a bit unsure.
Past failure s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about: On the way to camp she was hiding in a tree while her satyr cooked breakfast over an open fire when there was a loud honk which caused her to fall out of the tree. On the way down her t-shirt snagged on a branch and she ended up hanging from her branch by her t-shirt unable to free herself. When her satyr freed her, it was only after a minuet of all-out laughing.
If granted one wish, what would it be? To not be chased by monsters so often.
Why? She'd like to be able to go to the theater or on vacation without having to fight for her life.
Daredevil or cautious? Daredevil, she tends to tact before she thinks, especially in battles.
Same when alone? A bit worse. When not with her friends she doesn't have to worry as much about monsters attacking, so she feels like she doesn't have to be as careful.
Character's darkest secret: She is very envious of Ashley. She has a happy life, caring parents she gets to see all the time, and doesn't have to worry about monsters if she leaves camp. Lark wants a life that's more like that.

If no, how did they find out? They didn't
