| Melanie Winter met Boreas when she was up at the North Pole, studying about snow as a meteorologist. As a meteorologist, she was very curious if there were different types of snow existing there. (Melanie is also a very religious person) At first, Boreas didn't like her because Melanie came off as mean. But when he spent more time together with her, he noticed that she's actually really kind. Boreas (as Thomas) went on several dates with Melanie and in those dates, he grew to love Melanie even more. Melanie and Boreas slept together the last date they had together. Melanie unsuspectingly got pregnant and bore Morana. Morana's hair is white because she dyed her hair like that at age 12 and liked the way it looked so she kept dying it white. Boreas left afterward because of the god's "can't see your children rule". But before he left, Boreas left a gift for Morana: a key necklace that can turn into a sword when forcefully pulled off.
Childhood: Morana's childhood was full of discipline for her. She acted very childish (and still does) and likes to get things done her way. She went to an all girl's catholic school because her mother wanted her to have a good education and to become a devoted Christian even though Morana was more interested on other religions (she was more fasicnated with the Ancient Greek religious ways). She wants Morana to become a nun in the future and to live the life of a nun. Morana grew to love the way of a nun. At her school, Morana would wear a habit when classes were over. Also at age 10 was when she was given her necklace from her mother (which was supposed to be Morana's but Melanie thought it was a memento from "Thomas" that was meant for her).
At age 13, she had her first monster attack. A Scythian Dracanae, disguised as a woman working as a clerk in a nearby store, watched her every move for she knew that Morana was a demigod (because of her scent. Morana was by herself (because the store was only one block away from their house) buying food for her mother to cook. The store was empty and therefore, made it easier for the Scythian Dracanae to attack her.She attacked her just as Morana was about to leave the store. Morana screamed and panic rose from her. She didn't know what to do and froze where she stood. Morana's necklace was swiped away from her neck and when it was swiped off, it turned into a celestial bronze sword. Something for Morana to kill the Scythian Dracanae. On instinct, Morana took the sword and slashed wildly at the Scythian Dracanae. After so many slashes, she got the Scythian Dracanae to disintegrate. Morana then ran back home in fear hoping that she'll forget it ever happened.
On her birthday, she had her second monster attack to her dismay. A hellhound followed her from school and all the way to her home. Morana was playing in her front yard and a stray dog (the hellhound) pounced on her. Luckily, she had her necklace on and she tore off her pendant and it turned into her sword. She slashed and slashed and slashed until it turned into dust. That night, her father spoke to her in a dream. He wanted her to become is priestess since she was very religious and knows that she would forever be a priestess. Knowing that this is a once in a life time opportunity, Morana agreed and Boreas in the dream told her about Greek myths and everything. He even told her how to get to camp half-blood. But Boreas didn't have all of the time and forgot to tell her that he was her father. The next day, Morana told her mother that she wanted to go to a special camp for nuns (lied basically). Knowing one day that her daughter would do such a thing, Melanie let her daughter go to this "nun-camp". Morana traveled by herself to camp but then came across a demigod who guided her to camp. Morana safely went to camp and eventually got claimed. This surprised Morana a bit because Boreas never mentioned to her that he was her father (which upsetted her for awhile but then shrugged it off). And apparently, the children of Boreas already knew that she's the priestess of Boreas because of a dream Boreas gave to his children so she was proclaimed to be the priestess of Boreas.
