etymology. berenice is a female given name derived from a greek word meaning "bringer of victory." kingsley is an english surname of anglo-saxon origin. written in old english as cyningsleah, this locational surname roughly means "from the king's wood, glade, or meadow," and derives from the old english words cyning (king) and leah (woodland clearing). (i do not remember where i got this info from (thanks, me from a year ago), so i have no idea if it's accurate or not.) anyway, her father's first name is eustace, which is a boy's name of greek origin meaning "fruitful, productive."

curse manipulation. as a daughter of nike, berenice can curse most anyone she pleases with either failure or bad injuries in battle. she cannot curse with eternal failure or death. this must be done through skin-to-skin contact.
blessing manipulation. as a daughter of nike, she can bless most anyone with either success and/or victory in battle. she cannot bless anyone with eternal success. this must be done through skin-to-skin contact.
dominion over athletics. as state by aphrodite to hippomenes (in "percy jackson's greek heroes"), nike possesses absolute control and dominion over the area of athletics. as a result, berenice (as well as laurel and holly) has great athletic prowess, although not as great as nike's.

other info
→ berenice is a year-round camper because her family died in a monster attack when their luck failed due to nemesis believing they were undeserving of their good fortune because they hadn't done anything to earn it. this happened while berenice was at camp, the only reason that she was spared.
→ i do not have adhd or dyslexia, and i have not done sufficient research into either of them to feel qualified to write a character with either.
→ berenice is older than holly and laurel victor, so she's the counselor for the nike cabin.
→ i'm mainly speculating on what powers nike demigods might have, and guessing on what a tyche descendant might be able to do.
→ i will only be writing lost hero to blood of olympus, since i never finished and never really liked trials of apollo.
