Catharina Carvalho was abandoned in front of Camp Half-Blood when she was 4 years old. She had a very traumatic childhood. Her father neglected her as an infant and chose alcohol over his own child. The second she stepped foot onto the camp, her mother, Aphrodite, claimed the young girl. Catharina was known to be small but mighty. When Clarisse La Rue came to Camp Half-Blood, Catharina's world changed. Even though the girls were the total opposite, that didn't stop Catharina from growing feelings for her enemy.
