Backstory[]

Willy J. Gogo grew up in a small, artsy town known for its music festivals and quirky culture. Raised by a single mom who worked as a yoga instructor, Willy had an unconventional but happy childhood. His free-spirited personality often made him the life of the party in his school and community, even at a young age.

Strange things always seemed to happen around him. Plants in his garden grew faster and wilder than anyone else’s, neighborhood animals were drawn to him, and he could easily sense when someone wasn’t being honest. He brushed it off as luck or intuition.

Things changed dramatically when a high school party turned chaotic. Someone spiked the punch, and when Willy tasted it, he immediately knew something was wrong. Before he could warn anyone, strange creatures—empousai—crashed the party, targeting him. In the chaos, Willy instinctively fought back, using vines from a nearby hedge to protect himself and his friends. A satyr, who had been watching over him, saved him and revealed his true parentage.

Since then, Willy left his home and made his way to Camp Half-Blood on October 15, 2024, where he has been adjusting to life as a demigod. Though he’s only been there for a couple of months, he’s already made a name for himself within his cabin, showing both his fun-loving nature and his powers over nature.

Relationships[]

Ivy (Pet): Willy’s loyal panther companion, whom he befriended thanks to his wildlife control powers. Ivy is a playful and mischievous panther but fiercely protective of Willy when needed.
Cabin Mates: Willy doesn’t have many friends yet, but he hangs out with his cabin mates in the Dionysus cabin, often leading parties or celebrations.
