This is a list of characters in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and in the The Heroes of Olympus series.

Main characters

Perseus Jackson

Perseus "Percy" Jackson i Poseidon and is the protagonist and narrator of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Being a child of one of the "Big Three" (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon), Percy is the child of the prophecy of the Oracle, which foretells that the next half-blood child of the "Big Three" to reach the age of sixteen would have to make a decision that would mean the destruction or saving of Olympus. However, Percy is not the hero.^[1] He has hydrokinetic powers that develop throughout the story, becoming strong enough for him to summon a small hurricane in the Last Olympian. Simply being in water can also heal and energize him, water pressure has no effect on him, and he can see underwater at any depth. In The Battle of The Labyrinth, he gets a pet Hellhound named Mrs. O'Leary. He can also communicate with equestrian animals such as Pegasi and Hippocampi, since his father is the god who created horses. He has a sword called Anaklusmos (Riptide) that was a gift from his father Poseidon, delivered to him by Chiron. It can transform into looking like ballpoint pen when capped. It is made of celestial bronze and he can never lose it; it will always return to his pocket. He was technically only selected to go on two of the four quests in the series, the first being the retrieval of Zeus' master thunderbolt. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy has to go through the Labyrinth, a big subterranean maze in order to defend the camp against Luke (a son of Hermes and servant of the Titan lord Kronos). The quest in The Sea of Monsters was intended to be led by Clarisse (daughter of Ares), but Percy sneaks out of camp because he needs to find Grover, his best friend/protector. In The Titan's Curse, he is also not selected to go on the quest, but he follows the group becaukson)|Annabeth]]. Percy has a crush on Annabeth, but his love life has been difficult as a result of Aphrodite's promise she made to him when she met him in the desert. After he helps Zoë, Bianca, Grover, and Thalia, Zoë reluctantly allows him to become the fifth member of their team. In The Last Olympian, he takes on the curse of Achilles, which makes him invincible in all but one point, which is a spot on his back, directly behind his navel, and leads the army against Kronos. In The Lost Hero, Hera/Juno sends Percy to the Roman Camp as an exchange, with no memories of who he is or where he has come from, so that he can learn about them. In The Son of Neptune Percy has been running from Medusa's sisters for days when he finally reaches Camp Jupiter, having to cross the Little Tiber river, and removing the curse of Achilles. Mars appears and claims Frank Zhang as his son and sends Frank, Percy and Hazel Levesque on a quest to free Thanatos. Percy memories are very weak, he remembers Annabeth as someone who kisses him when he does something stupid, and that she must have kissed him a lot.

Throughout the series, Percy is described as having his father's jet black hair and deep sea green eyes. His strong resemblance to Poseidon is one of the reasons why Medusa wanted to keep him as a statue. When he first arrives at Camp Half Blood, he is described as weak, skinny, and unfit, but eventually becomes more athletic due to his training at Camp Half-Blood. After the events of The Titan's Curse, Percy gains gray streaks in his hair after taking Atlas' burden of holding up the sky. It is not mentioned if the grey streaks disappear over time or not, as they have never been talked about again in the series. According to the UK website, Percy is 5'10" by The Last Olympian. In the film, Percy is portrayed by Logan Lerman.^[2]

Annabeth Chase

Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena and the mortal Frederick Chase. She is shown to be somewhat pompous at first, but quickly warms to Percy during their first quest together.^[1] Being a daughter of Athena, she is very intelligent and has a fascination with architecture. In battle, she is a skilled enough fighter to hold her ground with Percy, but is superior to him in strategy. She ran away from home when she was seven and met Luke and Thalia, who took her with them to get to Camp Half-Blood. She believes she was in love with Luke, but was drawn to Percy's natural bravery and loyalty.^[1] She aids Percy in four of his five quests and is captured in one of them. Though she harbored interest for Luke, she eventually gravitates towards Percy. In "The Last Olympian" she tells Luke that she loved him as a brother, showing that her true love had always been Percy. She kisses him in The Battle of the Labyrinth when he was going into Mt. St. Helens and the telekhines attacking them are distracted. Percy also harbors feelings for her and gets jealous when she talks about Luke. She is very protective of her friends, especially Percy, as she felt extremely jealous when Percy befriended Rachel. At the end of the entire series, Percy and Annabeth are together. She owns a Yankee cap that makes the one who wears it invisible, as a 12th birthday gift from her mother. She fights with a knife that was given to her by Luke. At the end of The Battle of the Labyrinth Daedalus gives her his computer that was filled with Daedalus's notes and ideas. In The Lost Hero, Annabeth throughout the book is constantly trying to find Percy, organizing search parties and going out trying to find him.^[3] She is the Athena's cabin's councilor. She was originally requested to go on the quest to save Hera, but declines so she can look for Percy.

Annabeth is described as being athletic and having curly blond hair, tan skin, and stormy gray eyes. Annabeth's personality has been implied to very down to earth as she doesn't care about her appearance, always sporting a simple orange camp shirt and jeans. She is described by Percy throughout the first four books to be very "cute" but initially claims her to be very beautiful in the final book of the Percy Jackson Series. In the film, Annabeth is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario.

Reception

In the books Annabeth Chase has received much praise from fans and critics alike, garnering compliments on her intelligent, thoughtful personality. B. Allison Gray praises how Riordan "successfully conveys Annabeth's emotions" in Battle of the Labyrinth.^[4]

In the film there has been varied reactions. On one hand, as Rama's SCREEN reports, "the one that's been causing argument is Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth Chase... the comments on her casting were in mixed response.... Ashley thought Annasophia Robb (Race To Witch Mountain) should've played that role meanwhile Kara and Victoria saw Daddario as too old because the character Annabeth Chase in the book is about 12 years old but Lily thought Daddario should be given a chance to prove herself worthy and Joe said that to make this work, the movie needs to make her hot, athletic, with curly hair and grey eyes."^[5] On the other hand, Katey Rich writes that Daddario "looks just right for that Hermione-esque role of the brainy brunette... Daddario, ... may have just signed on for a role that will take over her life, and bring her plenty of Emma Watson-scaled fame in the process. I hope she's got her wizard's wand—oh, wait, I mean mythical god powers—ready for the challenge."^[6]

Grover Underwood

Grover Underwood is a satyr and Percy Jackson's friend. He has found the four most powerful demigods of the century: Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Thalia Grace (daughter of Zeus), and Nico and Bianca di Angelo (children of Hades). Grover falls in love with a tree nymph called Juniper, who inhibits a juniper bush, from the beginning of the 4th book, The Battle of the Labyrinth. Before Pan's death, the nature god proclaims Grover as the bravest satyr ever to be and names Grover as his successor to carry on his work to protect the wilderness. The Council of Cloven Elders is angered by this choice. But in The Last Olympian he is chosen as a replacement for Leneus (another Satyr who died in battle) for The Council of Cloven Elders after showing bravery on the battlefield. But in the Lightning Thief trying to get Percy Jackson to Camp Halfblood, Grover got hurt when the Minotaur attacked and he passed out and almost died, but he did get Percy to camp safely.

Grover is a curly brown-haired satyr with brown eyes, white skin, brown chin beard and hairy brown goat legs. His height is 4'5", but later turns 5'9". In the movie: curly brown hair, brown eyes, hairy brown goat legs and brown skin.

In the film, Grover is portrayed by Brandon Jackson.

Luke Castellan

Luke Castellan is one of Hermes's children and the main demigod antagonist of the series. Though initially the counselor of Cabin 11 and an ally to Percy, he revealed his true nature as a high-ranking member of Kronos's army by attempting to kill Percy at the end of The Lightning Thief, and on several occasions afterward.^[1] He is shown to harbor a great bitterness towards the gods (particularly his father, Hermes) for what he regards as abandonment. His mother had been driven insane upon attempting to impress Hermes by becoming the Oracle, leading to a stressful childhood for Luke. After physically reforming, Kronos does not need Luke's assistance. However, in his duel with Percy on Mount Olympus, striking Annabeth reminds him of his promise to protect her. This temporarily frees him from Kronos's influence. Percy makes his choice to give Luke Annabeth's knife, and Luke, cursed by the broken promise, kills himself by stabbing his own Achilles heel to destroy Kronos. This fulfills the prophecy, with Luke being the foretold hero. And in the Titan's Curse he almost kills Thalia. He has blonde hair

In the film, Luke is portrayed by Jake Abel.

Thalia Grace

Thalia Grace is a daughter of Zeus. She is Jason's older sister and the cousin of Percy Jackson, Bianca and Nico Di Angelo. Grover Underwood was assigned to watch over her when she ran away from home at ten years old. On her journey, she met Luke Castellan and Annabeth Chase. It is said she developed romantic feelings for Luke. They also had brief encounters with the Hunters of Artemis and she was enticed to join them by Zoë Nightshade. When she was twelve, they were all attacked by a herd of monsters and caught by a Cyclops in New York. She was captured, but thanks to Annabeth, was freed. They meet the satyr Grover Underwood on the way. They escaped, but found that the monsters they had briefly escaped had caught up to them. As they reached Half-Blood Hill, Thalia sent Luke, Grover, and Annabeth over the boundary line while she faced the monsters. She sacrificed her life for her friends, and her father, Zeus, took pity on her before she died and transformed her into a white pine tree to prevent her death. She is later brought back to life by the Golden Fleece and joins the quest in The Titan's Curse where she ultimately joins the Hunters of Artemis, taking the place of Zoë Nightshade. At first, she doesn't get along well with Zoë, but later they grow to respect each other. Thalia's fatal flaw is that she has little resistance to power. In Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian, she arrives with the Hunters to help Percy fight Kronos and his army. She fights alongside Percy, Annabeth and Grover for most of the battle. When they are on their way to confront Luke/Kronos, she gets trapped under Hera's statue which was intended for Annabeth and Percy, who were just saved in time by Thalia. She has a younger brother, Jason Grace who was separated from her when she was 10. In The Lost Hero, this is revealed to be the reason she ran away from home. She meets Jason twice in the book and they develop a close bond. When she and Hera come face to face, they have an argument where Thalia blames her for many incidents in which Hera showed her evil colours. She wears a lot of dark makeup and punk style clothing. She has electric blue eyes and spiky black hair. Thalia's personality is so much like Percy's that according to Annabeth, 'they either could be best friends... or worst enemies.'

Tyson

Tyson is a Cyclops, the son of Poseidon and his mother is unknown. He is not a demigod, but at Camp Half-Blood he resides in Percy's cabin, and is Percy's half-brother. He first appears in The Sea of Monsters as a homeless boy. He is afraid of Grover while Grover is also afraid of him. Also in the "Sea of Monsters" he was Percy's best friend and was always picked on. At the end of the book, he gets to go to work for his father, Poseidon in the Underwater Armory. He also accompanies Annabeth on her quest in The Battle of the Labyrinth In The Son of Neptune Tyson is the one who finds Percy's scent. In one of Percy's dreams, Percy tells Tyson to find his harpy friend Ella (who was hiding in the woods in Canada) and bring her to Camp Jupiter. After they meet Percy at Camp Jupiter, Percy noticed how much Ella spoke of Tyson and noticed the two like each other.

Nico di Angelo

Nico di Angelo is Bianca's younger brother, the only known son of Hades. At first Percy assumed Hades broke his agreement with Zeus and Poseidon to not father any more children after World War II, but Nico and Bianca were born before the pact was made, and had been placed in the Lotus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, a casino that prevents its occupants from aging. This part of Nico and Bianca's background is first hinted at during The Titan's Curse when the gang is forced to enter the Washington Metro to escape a pursuing helicopter. Nico and Bianca both seem to think that the Metro is very new, as it wasn't there "the last time" they went through Washington D.C. - a statement that at first seems ususual, given that they are described as being in their teens, and the first segments of the Washington Metro opened in 1976, well before they would have been born.

It wasn't until over seventy years after they were put up (or a few weeks in Lotus time) that they were finally taken from the hotel by one of Hades's agents (in disguise as a lawyer), who delivered them to Washington, D.C. and then to a college in Maine. Nico typically wields a three-foot-long Stygian iron sword (as opposed to celestial bronze), which not only kills monsters, but also absorbs their essence, and it has been implied that Stygian iron weapons can only be used by denizens of the Underworld.

Nico has the powers of necromancy (ability to reanimate/talk to/control the dead) and some limited control over the earth (in The Titan's Curse he creates a large fissure at Camp Half-Blood that swallows several skeletal warriors that had been sent to kill Percy) shadow travel, and other talents stemming from his father. For a time, he was Percy's enemy, blaming him for the fact that he had failed to protect Bianca as he had promised, but they eventually became friends. Nico tried multiple times to contact his sister and had difficulty contacting her, even using his dreams. Nico refused to stay at Camp Half-Blood in the fourth book after noting that he was not welcomed there; he compares this to the fact that his father is not welcomed at Olympus. Several months later, he informed Percy of a plan that could lead to defeating Kronos.

In the final book, he convinces Percy to bathe in the River Styx, making him invincible, except for a small spot on his back. Even though bringing him to the Underworld under the pretense of bathing in the Styx to become invincible was a trick to get more information about his mother (whom he had forgotten, as the Fury Alecto dipped him in the River Lethe in the Underworld, in accordance with Hades' orders after his mother's death) this plan did follow through, because Hades was highly cryptic in what he told him, and still threw Percy in jail. Nico later helped him escape (after Percy almost strangles him), and Percy, not sure if he was still angry with Nico for tricking him, tells him to stay behind in the Underworld to convince Hades to help the Olympians in the war. He succeeds at this and later helps wear down Kronos's forces. In the end of the final book Percy asks all the gods and goddess to 'claim' all their children and make sure they have cabins in Camp Half-blood. Nico goes back to the camp and makes a cabin for himself and all the other minor gods and goddess' children.

In The Lost Hero it is mentioned that he shows up from time to time and that he is also looking for Percy. In The Son of Neptune he is revealed to be Hazel's half-brother and claims to not know Percy. He does this because he thinks Percy has to find his own way among the Romans at Camp Jupiter. At the end of the book, it is mentioned that Nico is captured while looking for the Doors of Death, and that he'll be found in Rome. It leaves readers wondering about his true intetions of rescueing Hazel from the underworld, when Gaea, the Evil Mother Earth, tells Hazel " Yes i used you, but Nico used and lied about it, you should be happy I captured him"

Jason Grace

Jason Grace is the son of Jupiter, brother of Thalia Grace and one of the main protagonists of The Heroes of Olympus series. He is from a Roman equivalent of Camp Half-Blood called Camp Jupiter that consists of demigods born of the Roman aspect of gods. His memory was stolen by the goddess Hera/Juno. He and Percy Jackson have exchanged places (both involuntarily), because they are the respective leaders at both camps. Jason tries to recall who he is and begins to remember some pieces of his former life. He often shows similar traits to Percy.

Jason has tidily cropped golden blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a scar on the corner of his lip (according to Thalia, he tried to eat a stapler when he was two). He is of average height with athletic build, having muscular tanned arms. He has an intimidating tattoo burned under his forearm: 12 straight lines like a bar code with an eagle (the symbol of Zeus/Jupiter) and the letters "SPQR" over the lines. Jason doesn't remember where he got the marks, but he believes he got them from Camp Jupiter.

Piper McLean

Piper McLean is the daughter of Aphrodite and friend of Jason. At the beginning of The Lost Hero she believes that Jason is her boyfriend due to the Mist. After learning that her memories of Jason are false, she still harbors feelings for him. Unlike most children of Aphrodite, Piper is tomboyish and not concerned with her appearance or fashion. Her father is Tristan McLean, a famous Cherokee actor. Despite being labeled a "bad kid" at the Wilderness School, her "bad" actions are all for her dad's attentions. She uses charmspeak, a rare ability of Aphrodite's children, to convince people to give her things (such as a BMW convertable at a dealership), later getting in trouble for "stealing." Refusing to give in to her cabin's head counselor Drew's bullying, she stands up for her brothers and sisters and challenges Drew for the position, becoming the head counselor.

Like all children of Aphrodite, Piper is described as very beautiful. She has choppy and uneven chocolate brown hair and eyes that change color like a "kaleidoscope" (blue to green to brown). Piper is half-Cherokee from her father's side. She has a slim build and an average height.

Leo Valdez

Leo Valdez is the son of Hephaestus,and a close friend of Jason Grace. At the beginning of The Lost Hero, the Mist has made him believe Jason is his best friend. Later they do actually become best friends. Leo also has the ability to touch and produce fire, a skill that no other son of Hephaestus has had in four hundred years. As a child of Hephaestus, he is also an excellent mechanic. He discovers a secret bunker hidden in the forest and finds a magic tool belt in the bunker which grants him most things he wants (except anything too large or magical). He uses the bunker and tool belt to repair the bronze dragon that was previously running wild in the camp's woods, naming it Festus after his initial mispronunciation of his father's name. When he visits Boreas with Jason and Piper, he is left with 'Cal' because fire and ice do not mix well. He is a joker and cannot keep his hands still, and also falls quickly for girls. He even uses the tool belt to summon breath mints in order to try and woo Khione, goddess of snow and daughter of Boreas. But she ends up being evil so he falls for Jason's sister, Thalia.

In the novel Leo is described as looking like a "Latino Santa's elf" with curly black hair, dark brown eyes, pointy ears, a cheerful babyish face, and a mischievous smile. He is described as being of normal height with a slim build.

In The Son of Neptune, Hazel Levesque and Percy Jackson both agree that he is an exact twin to Sammy Valdez, Hazel's former boyfriend

Hazel Levesque

Hazel Levesque is the daughter of Pluto, and a friend of Frank Zhang. She appears in The Son of Neptune at Camp Jupiter, the camp for Roman demigods. She grew up in New Orleans, where her mother had a gris-gris shop. She would find precious metals/gems all the time, however anyone who took them suffered a terrible misfortune. Her mother took her to Alaska where Gaia used her to bring Alcyoneus, back to life. Hazel's mother changed her mind about helping Gaea and died. Hazel sacrificed herself to delay Alcyoneus' rebirth. She died in 1942, and at her judgement she gave up the Fields of Elysium to save her mother from punishment, sending them both to Asphodel instead. Hazel has some (Louisiana) Creole blood on her mothers side, and she knows a small amount of French.

When Thanatos was first captured Nico di Angelo went looking for his sister, Bianca, but she was already gone, having chosen to be reborn. Nico gave Hazel a second chance at life, helping her escape the Underworld and taking her to Camp Jupiter. Hazel journeys with Frank and Percy to free Thanatos. She tames Arion, a violent horse that eats precious metals.

Leo Valdez, from The Lost Hero, looks exactly like Hazel's boyfriend, Sammy Valdez, in her past life.

Pluto/Hades is hinted to want her to have a second chance as Thanatos says when asked, that she is not on his list of escaped souls.

Hazel is described as having cocoa-colored skin, and her eyes, as described by Percy, are a 'luminous gold'. Frank, who has an obvious crush on her, describes her hair as 'cinnamon toast' colored, and that she is tiny compared to him.

Frank Zhang

Frank Zhang is the son of Mars, and a friend of Hazel Levesque. He appears in The Son of Neptune as a camper at Camp Jupiter. His family is Chinese and his mother recently died in Afhganistan. When he was a child, Juno came to their family homestead in the form of smoke saying that the wood creating the smoke is now connected to Frank's life and if it ever burns out he will die too. He later uses the stick to free Thanatos from his ice chains. Luckily, a small portion of the stick wasn't burned and he was still alive.

He is the descendant of Periclymenus, the grandson of Neptune who was granted the power to shapeshift. Eventually his descendants where sent to China for slavery. Many years later, their family migrated to Canada where Frank was eventually born. Later, he transformed into an elephant to drag Alcyoneus out of his territory and successfully killed him with Hazel.

He expected himself to be the son of Apollo due to his archery skills.

He is described as having a babyish face with chubby cheeks and black hair in a military cut. He has a big frame and is stoutly built.

Olympian gods

Zeus/Jupiter - The King of the Gods, God of the Sky, Zeus is brother to Poseidon and Hades, uncle to Percy, Nico and Bianca, father of Thalia, son of Kronos. His Roman counterpart is Jupiter, brother to Pluto and Neptune, father to Jason, and uncle to Hazel. He is a principal character in the first book^[1] but is a minor one in the next four. His cabin is Cabin 1. Poseidon calls Zeus dramatic, saying that he might do better as the God of Theater. His symbol of power is his Master Bolt. In The Lost Hero, Zeus (under the influence of Khione) forbids contact between gods and mortals and closes down Olympus. Despite this, Zeus indirectly aids the demigods several times on their quest, such as answering his son's prayer for aid against Enceladus.^[7]

Hera/Juno - The Queen of the Gods and the Goddess of Marriage. Hera plays a small role in The Titan's Curse^[8] but is one of the gods who help Percy and the others in their quest in The Battle of the Labyrinth.^[9] At the end of the book, Annabeth and Percy offend her because she did not care that Luke was gone or that Daedalus and Pan were both dead. She especially dislikes Annabeth and curses her as Ares cursed Percy in the 1st book. She thought Luke, Pan and Daedalus were better off gone.^[9] Cabin 2 at Camp Half-Blood is dedicated to her, but is perpetually empty; as the goddess of marriage, she has not given birth to any demigods. In spite of this, Hera meddles with the affairs of many demigods. In The Last Olympian she has a minor role where she congratulates Percy on his victory rather disdainfully and says that she would have to let him and Annabeth live a little longer. She returns as Juno in The Lost Hero in which Percy Jackson has disappeared. She has been kidnapped by Gaia and contacts Jason Grace, the new protagonist and asks him to help her. It is then revealed that as Juno, she sneaked out of Olympus and exchanged Percy and Jason to try and unite the Roman and Greek demigods. She goes against the wishes of Zeus in this regard because she wants to save everyone – gods, demigods and mortals from the new evil. Juno also admits that she is bitter towards heroes and demigods because she does not have any of her own. Juno, Hera's Roman counterpart, is more warrior-like and more disciplined and rebellious. Juno even states that Hera would not have disobeyed Zeus, but Juno would.^[10] In The Son Of Neptune, Juno is disguised as an old lady and gives Percy a test to either save her and possibly save him or to save himself and forget the rest of the world.

Aphrodite/Venus - The Goddess of Love, Beauty, Lust, etc. She is mentioned in The Lightning Thief and appears briefly in The Titan's Curse. Her children (mostly girls) live in Cabin 10. Her appearance changes as Percy looks at her, matching every female he has ever had a crush on (one being Annabeth). She encourages Percy to pursue a quest for true love. She is shown to have interest in Percy's feelings towards Annabeth and promises to make Percy's love life hard. She appears again at the Council of the Gods and votes to let Percy live. Aphrodite is also the last child of Ouranos.^[8] Aphrodite is also the mother of Piper McLean, a main character in The Lost Hero, and changes her daughter's tomboyish appearance twice to make her look more beautiful.^[11]

Apollo - The God of the Sun, Poetry, and the Oracle. The campers in Cabin 7 are his children. He drives a flying red convertible, a Maserati Spyder, that glows brightly like the sun. He appears to be about 18 or 19 years old and has sandy colored hair and dazzling white teeth. Apollo wears Ray-Ban sunglasses and sports an iPod. Percy notes that he looks similar to Luke, but less evil. He also loves to recite poetry, especially haiku after he supposedly visited Japan. Percy describes them as so bad that he would rather be shot by an arrow than listen to one, but Zoë says his limerick days were much worse. Apollo helps Percy and his friends by flying them to Camp Half-Blood in The Titan's Curse and later helping them after they got off of a train while being disguised as a homeless man.^[8] In The Last Olympian, he heals Annabeth's broken arm after she was thrown into her mother's throne.^[12] At the end of the war between the Titans and the gods, Rachel is certified as the new Oracle by Apollo. His name is both Greek and Roman.

Ares/Mars - The God of War and Bloodlust. His children are the campers in Cabin 5. He first encounters Percy in The Lightning Thief. Ares drives a large, black, Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a flame-patterned paint job, a boar themed antenna, handles, boar's head shaped red headlight and a leather seat made from human skin. He wears red wraparound sunglasses that cover his eyes, which are flames, a bulletproof vest, combat boots, black leather biker clothes, and a black leather duster. His face is covered with scars from many fights. Once, Ares sends Percy, Grover and Annabeth to retrieve his shield, which he left behind after a date with Aphrodite. They travel to a Tunnel of Love, which ends up being a trap set by Hephaestus. He intercepts Zeus's master bolt from Luke in The Lightning Thief and gives Percy a backpack containing it.^[1] He wants to cause discord among Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Later, he is overpowered by Percy in a duel.^[1] He curses Percy that his sword will fail him in battle in a certain fight and departs (which takes effect during Percy's fight with Atlas).^[1] Ares returns with minor roles in The Sea of Monsters and The Titan's Curse. He is seen at the end of The Last Olympian after giving Clarisse a blessing during battle and is very proud of her.

Artemis/Diana - The Goddess of the Moon, Wild Animals, and the Hunt. She is the twin sister of Apollo. Cabin 8 at Camp Half-Blood is dedicated to her, though it is unoccupied, except for the rare visits when her group of huntresses stays at the camp, such as in The Titan's Curse. She is a maiden goddess and bears no demigod children. She has a prominent role in The Titan's Curse. Artemis appears to be about 12 years old. She has auburn hair and silvery-yellow eyes, the color of the full moon. Artemis leads a group of teenaged girls known as the Hunters of Artemis. The Hunters pledge to give up love in exchange for immortality. The Hunters never grow up and can only die if they are killed in battle or break their oath. Artemis leaves the Hunters to pursue a monster that has the potential to destroy Olympus. She is trapped by Atlas and is forced to hold up the sky. She is rescued by Percy who holds the sky for her so she can fight Atlas. Artemis and Percy trick Atlas into holding the sky again. Artemis transforms Zoë into a constellation after she is killed in battle. She seems to like Percy, saying that he's okay for a boy, and later refers to him as a man. She speaks up for Percy, Annabeth and Thalia at the Council of the Gods and votes for Percy to live. Thalia joins her hunt at the end of The Titan's Curse, preventing her from fulfilling the Oracle's prophecy.^[8] Artemis did not follow Zeus' order to not have contact with mortals by still communicating with her Hunters. Thalia states, "Artemis follows her own rules," even though she does this without Zeus' knowledge. She sent Thalia to find Jason, Thalia's long-lost brother.^[13]

Athena/Minerva - The Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy. She first appears in The Titan's Curse, where she is shown to dislike Percy and his relationship with Athena's daughter, Annabeth.^[8] Athena is described as being beautiful but also serious and foreboding. She has intense grey eyes, as do almost all of her children who reside in Cabin 6. In The Demigod Files, she has black hair, but in other books, she is depicted as having blonde hair, like her children. Athena considers Percy to be very dangerous as he has the potential of fulfilling the Prophecy that a child of one of the Big Three will destroy Olympus. She advises Percy that wise counsel is not always the most popular, and cautions him about his fatal flaw. She also votes not to let Percy live. Percy considers Athena one of the most dangerous beings he has encountered, noting that because of her calculating intelligence, her plans rarely fail.

Demeter/Ceres - The Goddess of the Harvest and Agriculture. She is first mentioned in The Sea of Monsters, when Hermes is talking to Percy about the quest.^[14] She was also one of the goddesses who voted to keep Percy alive in The Titan's Curse.^[8] Demeter made three brief appearances along with her daughter Persephone in The Last Olympian, notably when she participates in the battle against the Titans. Her children reside in Cabin 4.^[12]

Dionysus/Bacchus - The God of Wine and Madness. He is Percy's cousin and the father of Castor and Pollux. He is the director of Camp Half-Blood where he was sent by his father Zeus for chasing an off-limits nymph though he is married. At Camp Half Blood, he is known as "Mr. D."^[1] He is shown to hate his job and have a low opinion of demigods stemming from Theseus' abandonment of Ariadne, but he has to remain at Camp Half-Blood for another fifty years (his punishment used to be 100 years, then Zeus shortened it). His children live in Cabin 12.^[1] He can be seen playing with the satyrs in camp.^[14] He appears in all the books. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, he goes out to search for the minor gods and returns at the end of the book.^[9] He rarely bothers to call the campers by their proper names, making a point of calling Percy Jackson names such as 'Peter Johnson', 'Perry Johannson', or 'Pierre Jorgenson' throughout the series. He also calls Annabeth 'Annie Bell' or 'that Anne girl', regardless of the fact that she has been in Camp Half-Blood since she was seven years old. Though he has said that Percy "always manages to annoy him," he has saved Percy's and Annabeth's life several times. His son Dakota at Camp Jupiter is addicted to red Kool-Aid.

Hades/Pluto - The God of the Underworld, Hades is brother to Poseidon and Zeus uncle to Percy, father of Nico and Bianca di Angelo, son of Kronos. He is the husband of his niece Persephone. Percy first encounters him in The Lightning Thief on his quest to find and return Zeus's master bolt.^[1] In The Demigod Files story "The Sword of Hades," he discovers that Persephone had the Sword of Hades made for him which was made from Stygian Iron and one of the Keys of Death. In exchange for having the sword returned, Percy made Hades swear on the River Styx not to use the weapon against the gods. Afterwards, Hades agreed and left angrily now realizing that Persephone disobeyed him and made the Sword of Hades against his wishes. In The Last Olympian, Hades traps Percy when Nico leads him to the Underworld palace. He plans to put him in the dungeon until Nico turns sixteen, so Nico can fulfill the prophecy. He appears again with Persephone and Demeter to save Olympus. After the war, Hades, along with the minor gods, is given a cabin in Camp Half-Blood^[12]

Hephaestus/Vulcan - The Gods' Blacksmith and God of Fire. He appears as a minor character in The Titan's Curse^[8] and as a major one in The Battle of the Labyrinth where he helps Percy numerous times.^[9] His children reside in Cabin 9. He is the father of Charles Beckendorf and Leo Valdez. He was thrown off of Mount Olympus when he was born because Hera thought he was hideous and wanted a "perfect" family, though Hera denies it. Hephaestus says that Hera likes telling the story that Zeus threw him off the cliff because "it makes her seem more likable." He defied Zeus' rule in The Lost Hero and spoke to his son where he mentioned that he was displeased that Percy declined Zeus' offer for immortality following Kronos' defeat. He also took the head of Festus to Bunker 9 for Leo and commanded his children there to build the Argo II with Festus' head as the figurehead.^[15]

Hermes/Mercury - The Messenger of the Gods and the God of Travelers, Communication, and Thieves. All of his children stay in Cabin 11. He has almost no role in the first book but is a significant character in the second book where he helps Percy by giving him a flask full of air, backpacks, and his special multi-vitamins, hoping that he will be able to rescue his son, Luke, who had joined the Titans.^[14] He is also mentioned briefly in The Titan's Curse. He is bitter about Luke's situation and gets angry at Annabeth in The Last Olympian for not saving him when she had the choice.^[12]

Hestia/Vesta - The Goddess of Hearth and Home. She first appears as a young girl, about 8 years old, who wears a simple brown dress and scarf. Percy sees her when he enters Camp Half-Blood for the first time, but does not speak to her. Percy and Nico encounter her in The Last Olympian when she gives them food. She has glowing eyes that remind Percy of a cozy fire. Hestia tends to the hearth in Olympus while the other gods battle Typhon. Hestia gave up her throne for Dionysus in order to prevent a civil war among the Olympians. She explains to Percy that one of the greatest powers is to yield in order to retain peace. Percy offers Pandora's jar to Hestia, as she is the Last Olympian and Hope survives best at the hearth. Hestia accepts, preventing Percy from being tempted to open it. She later helps Percy when he battles Kronos by making her hearth painfully hot for Kronos when he reaches to get his scythe when it fell into the flames. When Percy looks into her eyes, he can sometimes see the past or the future, such as what happened before Annabeth, Thalia and Luke came to Camp Half-Blood.

Poseidon/Neptune - The God of the Sea, Earthquakes, Storms, and Hurricanes, son of Kronos brother of Hades and Zeus, uncle of Thalia Grace and Nico and Bianca di Angelo, and father of Percy.

In The Lightning Thief, he is suspected of having stolen Zeus's master bolt, but Percy proves the claim false.^[1] He appears as a minor character in the next three books. In The Last Olympian, Percy falls unconscious in the ocean and lands at Poseidon's castle. Poseidon is at war with Oceanus, the Titan god of the ocean, and makes Percy go back to camp instead of helping him. He is one of the few gods that does not go and help in the effort to defeat Typhon until Percy tells him that the only way to win is to abandon the sea and fight Typhon. His symbol of power is the trident.^[12]

Minor gods

Aeolus - The custodian of the Four Winds. He never made an appearance, but they were mentioned in The Last Olympian. The winds he sent made it hard for the Titan army to hit Olympus by air.

Amphitrite - The Queen of the Seas, wife of Poseidon, and daughter of Oceanus. In The Last Olympian, Amphitrite alongside Triton is seen talking strategy with her husband Poseidon in the throne room of their ocean floor palace. Percy Jackson joins them and Amphitrite treats him coldly as he is a reminder of Poseidon's unfaithfulness. Percy expects nothing else and feels sorry for her as she does not have a faithful husband. She is worried about how her father is attacking and how Poseidon is losing power to the Titan of the Sea. Amphitrite is a beautiful goddess, with flowing black hair and small horns like crab claws.

Iris specializes in delivering messages through rainbows. She does not appear in the series, but later on gets her own cabin at Camp Half-Blood. In The Lost Hero, she is revealed to be the mother of Butch. Iris is said to be on good terms with Chiron and Hermes.

She sends Frank, Percy and Hazel to Phineas the seer to discover where Thanatos is being kept.

Janus - The God of Gates, Doorways, Beginnings and Endings. He appears as a minor character in The Battle of the Labyrinth where he offers Annabeth a choice between two doors, which represents the situation she was in when she had to make the decision about saving Luke's soul.^[9] He has two faces, and each face seems to think the exact opposite of what the other face thinks.

The word "Phobia" was named after him.

Pompona - The Roman Goddess of Plenty. A statue of her on top of a hotel comes to life in The Last Olympian. She becomes upset with Percy when he thinks she is Demeter.

He was sent to Tartarus by his sons and is reforming in The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, and The Battle of the Labyrinth. When he eventually reforms himself, he takes matters in his own hands. The only reason Luke was not killed was because of his loyalty to Kronos. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Kronos is delayed to attack Camp Half-Blood. In the The Last Olympian, Kronos leads the Titans to Olympus while the gods were fighting with Typhon. Later, Annabeth and Percy save Luke, and Luke sacrificies himself for Kronos to die.^[12]

Immortals

Calypso - Calypso first appears in The Battle of the Labyrinth. She nurses Percy back to health on her island. She is shown to be in love with Percy, and is heartbroken when he leaves.

He had a minor role in the first four books in the series, but has a larger role in The Last Olympian.^[12] He has a crush on Silena Beauregard, whom he starts dating from the short story The Bronze Dragon contained in The Demigod Files.^[19] Most members of Camp Half-Blood call him by his surname, Beckendorf.

Clarisse la Rue - One of the children of Ares and the head of Cabin 5. She is hot-tempered, arrogant, big, tall, strong, and is known to dislike Percy. Despite her brash nature, she is capable of compassion, shown when she cares for Chris Rodriguez, a half-blood who became a traitor and was later found crazed and stumbling within the Labyrinth in a bout of madness. She is later seen holding Chris's hand at a campfire after Dionysus cures him of his madness. She later befriends Silena Beauregard, apparently after Silena gives her advice on her first boyfriend. She and her cabin later fight with the Apollo cabin over a flying chariot. Later, she prevents Cabin 5 from joining in the battle of Manhattan because of the chariot fight, though Michael Yew gives it to them. Silena later impersonates her to bring the Ares cabin into the battle by taking her armor and spear. Silena is killed by a drakon during this charade. To avenge her friend, Clarisse stabs the drakon in the eye, breaking her spear and electrocuting the drakon. She then runs at Kronos's armies, appearing to be as invulnerable as Percy, even though she does not have the Curse of Achilles. Percy recognizes that an aura around her highly resembles that of Ares when Percy fought him. Thalia remarks that it is a blessing of Ares and that she has never seen it before in person.^[12]

He turned to Kronos' side after Percy saved his life by letting him live after a duel. After the duel, he pledges himself to Kronos, the last half blood needed for his resurrection. In The Last Olympian, he tries to stab Percy in the small of his back (his Achilles spot), but Annabeth leaps in front of the dagger, and Kronos believes that he tried to stab Percy's Achilles spot. He is in the truce party along with the Empousa queen and Prometheus. Ethan later figures out that the small of Percy's back was his Achilles spot, but instead of killing him, he tries to kill Kronos.

Michael Yew - A son of Apollo. He is the leader of the Apollo Cabin after Lee Fletcher died in The Battle of the Labyrinth. He is described as very short, four foot six, with personality that makes up for his height, and a face that reminds Percy of a ferret. In The Demigod Files, in an interview with Clarisse, she mentions that she would want to pulverize Michael, thus stating that they are enemies. Percy finds it very interesting that he's the counselor. He is supposedly killed leading a group of demigods in the fight against Kronos' army. Percy looked everywhere for him, but only found his bow. He is presumed deceased, although this was never confirmed.^[12]

Miranda Gardiner - Miranda is a daughter of Demeter who first appears in The Lost Hero and is the counselor of her cabin. Miranda had her nose (temporarily) removed by Lou Ellen, a daughter of Hecate.

Silena Beauregard - A daughter of Aphrodite and the head of Cabin 10. Percy regards her as one of the nicer girls of the cabin and acknowledges that she is pretty, but still finds her to be a "neat freak". She participates in the Battle of the Labyrinth.^[9] She does not think that she is a good fighter and feels that she does not do anyone any good at camp. She unveils her hatred towards the Hunters of Artemis, who say that love is worthless, to which she responds by stating that she is going to "pulverize" them. Silena is killed by a drakon when she fights it while pretending to be Clarisse in The Last Olympian. It is also revealed in The Last Olympian that she was the spy giving Kronos information about what was going on at Camp Half-Blood. When the Stoll brothers ask Percy about it, he will not let Silena be remembered as a spy. She did, however, want to stop being the spy when her boyfriend Charles Beckendorf died (charming her with his looks, Luke had promised that fewer lives would be lost and that Charles would be safe), but was blackmailed by Luke when he threatened to reveal her betrayal. This causes Silena to become even weaker or as Percy described, "She looked like glass. Like she was going to break at any time." Percy also notes that no one says the word "spy" during the burning of her shroud (which was hot pink with an electric spear embroidered on it).^[12]

He, like Mark (another son of Ares), is mentioned by Percy in The Demigod Files in the short story Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot, when Percy asks Clarisse which of her brothers played a prank on her.^[16] He also may have been the one that Percy awoke from a midday nap in The Titan's Curse.^[8]

Travis Stoll - One of the children of Hermes. He and his brother become the new counselors of cabin 11 after Luke went to Kronos. Travis is the older brother of Connor Stoll. Both are known to be crafty and mischievous. Percy finds it ironic that their last name is Stoll, like the word 'stole'. His and his brother's shenanigans incapacitated a member of Artemis's Huntresses, which enabled Percy to join the quest of The Titan's Curse.^[8] He and his brother have a larger role in The Last Olympian and both survive.^[12]

Will Solace - He is a son of Apollo whom Percy took to heal Annabeth in The Last Olympian and become the leader of the Apollo Cabin as seen in The Lost Hero.^[12]

Ariadne - Ariadne once helped Theseus when it fell to him to slay the Minotaur. When Theseus unknowingly left Ariadne on the island of Naxos, she was found by Dionysus who married her.

He was referenced in "The Battle of the Labyrinth" where he states that Rachel's gold appearance made her look like she was touched by King Midas. In "The Lost Hero" King Midas was among the dead people brought back to life when the Doors of Death opened in Omaha, Nebraska. When Jason, Piper, and Leo arrived at Midas' mansion, he was polite. Midas told them that it was a silly story that he learned his lesson when he touched his daughter, turning her into solid gold. Midas touched Piper's backpack, turning it into flexible gold and making it magic, proving he still had the magic touch. Midas admitted that he had sometimes pat his son Lityerses on the back accidentally, but he always had the river to rinse it off. Midas finally revealed he was working for the Giants and turned Leo and Piper into gold. He gave Jason a choice: turn into a nice gold statue for his collection or fight Lityerses and die.

The first where he tricked Thanatos into showing him how the chains worked causing Thanatos to be trapped until Ares freed him (Thanatos being trapped displeased Ares since no one in battle could die). The second time was when he complained to Persephone that his wife Merope did not give him a proper funeral and sent Sisyphus' spirit to the living. Even when Sisyphus did not want to return to the Underworld, he was forcefully dragged back there by Hermes. His punishment in The Fields of Punishment was to push a boulder up a hill; when it reached the top, the boulder would roll back to the bottom and Sisyphus was condemned to begin again. He appears in The Demigod Files in the story titled The Sword of Hades when Percy and Nico ask him advice while Thalia pushes the boulder up the hill. He does not really help them much, but he does say that he helped someone else. He said that he told that other person to go see Melinoe.

He ended up there after killing his son Pelops, cutting him up, and serving him as food to the Gods.

Tantalus became "tantalised" by having food and drink close to him, but unable to enjoy either. He becomes the activities director at Camp Half-Blood after Chiron is fired. He appears in The Sea of Monsters as a minor character. Even when hired as the activities director, he could not eat or drink as the food kept evading him. Tantalus is shown to hate Percy and his friends even more than he hates most half-bloods, yet shows favoritism to Clarisse, as when naming her hero when the camp was attacked by Colchis Bulls or when she wins the chariot race and throwing a banquet in her honor. When the camp is attacked by a large flock of Stymphalian birds, Tantalus blames it on Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson's "bad chariot driving" despite that they were the ones who defeated the birds. When Tyson is brought to camp, Tantalus insults and makes fun of him even when Tyson is claimed by Poseidon. At the end of the book, his curse is lifted by Dionysus just before he is sent back to the Underworld as he attempts to take some food along, though none of the campers are sad to see him go.

It quickly becomes evident to Piper that Medea is an agent of Gaia, and the one who Hera had warned them about. Jason and Leo however are entranced by the magic in Medea's voice which tells them to attack and kill one another. Piper manages to bring the two to their senses and they blow up the mall.

The Oracle's power originally passed from the deceased oracle to a newly chosen oracle; however, at the end of the World War II, the oracle gave a Great Prophecy predicting a child of the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) would determine whether or not the gods would be preserved or destroyed. Using this information, the Big Three entered a pact in which none would continue to sire heroes. Before this, Hades bore two young children, Nico di Angelo and Bianca di Angelo. Zeus, fearing that either were the children of the prophecy, destroyed the hotel where the di Angelos lived with his master bolt, killing Maria di Angelo, Hades' lover. In revenge, Hades cursed the Oracle to ensure that the power of the Oracle of Delphi would not pass on to someone else, in the hope that it would soon return to the dust. After the Battle of Manhattan in which Hades and Nico successfully assist in the defense of Mount Olympus, Zeus honors the Lord of the Dead. In response to his newfound respect from the other gods, he lifts the curse, allowing the Oracle's power to pass on into Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the last Oracle.^[12]

Werewolf - A werewolf is a creature that is part man, part wolf. In "The Lost Hero," King Lycaon led a pack of werewolves to kill Leo and Piper. Most of the werewolves were defeated by the Hunters of Artemis.

Wood Nymph - Wood Nymphs are a type of Nymph associated with specific lands.
- Juniper - Juniper is a tree nymph. She is Grover Underwood's girlfriend, and in "The Battle of the Labyrinth", she informs Percy that she has seen Luke Castellan using the entrance to the Labyrinth and that she has also seen Quintus/Daedalus using the entrance to the Labyrinth.

Mortals

Darrin - One of the many people in the Lotus Casino. He is described as about thirteen, and "some Elvis impersonator's son". Percy meets him at a Virtual reality shooter game. He has apparently been in the Lotus Casino since 1977.

Gabriel "Gabe" Ugliano - Known as "Smelly Gabe," he was Percy's stepfather. In appearance, he is heavy and bald, wearing thrift store clothes often. He managed the Electronics Mega-Mart in Queens as an occupation. As Percy described him in The Lightning Thief, he "was nice the first thirty seconds we knew him, then showed his true colors as a world-class jerk." During summer break from school, Gabe asks him for money for beer and for his poker games with his friends.^[21] Supposedly he can easily guess how much money a person has. It is implied that, at least once, he hit Percy's mother. Grover later tells Percy that Sally (Percy's mother) married Gabe to protect Percy from monsters who would have tracked him down otherwise. He smelled so "repulsively human" that his smell hid Percy's demigod scent from monsters. If she had not married him, monsters would have found Percy sooner. At the end of Book 1, he is turned to stone by Percy's mother (using Medusa's severed head) and sold as a statue called "The Poker Player" earning lots of money in the process.^[1]

May Castellan - Luke's mother who attempted to become the Oracle. Since Hades's power prevented her from taking it, she was driven crazy and instead received small glimpses of her son's terrible future.^[12] She made huge amounts of sandwiches, burnt cookies, and Kool-Aid for Luke, believing that someday he would return home. She also gave him a blessing to receive the curse of Achilles. It was shown that she had numerous clippings of Hermes from advertisements and many beanbag monsters sitting in the house and on the front lawn.

Dr. Frederick Chase - Annabeth's father. He first appears in The Titan's Curse. He allows Percy, Thalia and Zoë to borrow his car to drive to Mount Tamalpais (Mount Othrys). Annabeth's father is a professor of military history. During The Titan's Curse, he was studying the Third Battle of Ypres. He owns a Sopwith Camel. He and his daughter had a lot of disagreements in the past, which is why she ran away from home when she was seven years old. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and two sons, Bobby and Matthew. In The Titan's Curse, he battles the monsters on the Princess Andromeda with bullets melded with celestial bronze.

Mrs. Dare - Rachel's mother. She briefly appears in The Last Olympian. She went to Clarion Ladies' Academy, a finishing school for society girls in New Hampshire, and wants Rachel to go there as well.^[12]

Ms. Grace - Mother to Jason and Thalia Grace, and the first known mortal to bear children of different aspects of the same God, Zeus/Jupiter.

Paul "Blowfish" Blofis - Sally Jackson's boyfriend and later husband, and thus Percy's stepfather. Percy and his mother reveal to Paul the truth, and at first he only half believes them. When Percy, Nico, and Mrs. O'Leary come unexpectedly into Sally's apartment, Paul fully believes, and thinks it's "awesome!". Paul turns out to be an excellent swordsman due to the fact that he was a Shakespearian actor in college and assists in the fight to save Olympus in The Last Olympian. He asks Percy for permission before proposing to Percy's mother.^[12]

Preacher - A preacher who raised money supposedly for orphans and spent it instead on his mansion until he was caught by the police. He died in a police chase when he drove his "Lamborghini for the Lord" off a cliff. He was carried off to the Fields of Punishment by some ghouls in the Greek Underworld. The Preacher believed himself to be in Hell.^[1]

Rachel Elizabeth Dare - A clear-sighted mortal girl who is able to see through the Mist. She is first encountered by Percy during The Titan's Curse as he flees from the skeletons summoned by Atlas. After mistaking her for a monster and realizing she is human, Percy discovers that she can see through the Mist. She leads the skeletons away from Percy.^[8] Rachel goes to the same school as Percy in "The Battle of the Labyrinth," realizing that the cheerleaders are actually empousai. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, she aids Annabeth and Percy by guiding them through the labyrinth to Daedalus's workshop. From there she, Percy, Annabeth, and Nico escape, only to enter again to locate Grover and Tyson. She is present at the deathbed of Lord Pan and, like the others, takes part of his essence within her. By throwing her hairbrush at Kronos, she provided enough of a distraction for Percy to escape the Titan Lord's time manipulation. It is hinted throughout the series that she harbors romantic feelings for Percy.^[9] In The Last Olympian, she begins having strange visions and becomes the new Oracle of Delphi after Hades's curse is lifted, under the guidance of Chiron and Apollo. Her first act as the Oracle is to deliver the Great Prophecy about the next generation of heroes.

Sally Jackson - The daughter of Jim and Laura Jackson. She is the mother of Percy and she was married to "Smelly Gabe". She then turned him to stone with the head of Medusa, and married Paul Blofis in the fifth book.^[12] In the beginning of the series, Sally works at a candy shop called "Sweet on America" and said that she wanted to be an author when she was young.^[1] In the third book, Percy guesses that Sally can see through the Mist and he believes that this was probably the reason Poseidon took interest in her. In the first book, she was thought to be killed by the Minotaur, but it was discovered that she survived and that she was still alive, but in the clutches of Hades. Sallly was freed when Percy gave the Helm of Darkness (which was also stolen by Luke) to the Furies.^[1]

William Dare - He is Rachel Elizabeth Dare's father, who first appears in The Last Olympian. He owns a land development company and is very rich. His family lives in a mansion in Brooklyn, where Rachel lives on the top floor. Rachel hates her father because of his job, but he seems to care about her. He said that he and her mother had really been looking forward to the vacation, but, according to Rachel, they both hate the beach, and are just too stubborn to admit it. He supported Rachel's going to finishing school. He walked into Rachel's room in Percy's dream, wearing pajamas with "WD" monogrammed on the pocket.^[12]

 '''Annabeth Chase''' is a daughter of [[Athena]] and the mortal Frederick Chase. She is shown to be somewhat pompous at first, but quickly warms to Percy during their first quest together.<ref name="lightningbook" /> Being a daughter of Athena, she is very intelligent and has a fascination with [[architecture]]. In battle, she is a skilled enough fighter to hold her ground with Percy, but is superior to him in strategy. She ran away from home when she was seven and met Luke and Thalia, who took her with them to get to Camp Half-Blood. She believes she was in love with Luke, but was drawn to Percy's natural bravery and loyalty.<ref name="lightningbook" /> She aids Percy in four of his five quests and is captured in one of them. Though she harbored interest for Luke, she eventually gravitates towards Percy. In "[[The Last Olympian]]" she tells Luke that she loved him as a brother, showing that her true love had always been Percy. She kisses him in ''[[The Battle of the Labyrinth]]'' when he was going into Mt. St. Helens and the telekhines attacking them are distracted. Percy also harbors feelings for her and gets jealous when she talks about Luke. She is very protective of her friends, especially Percy, as she felt extremely jealous when Percy befriended Rachel. At the end of the entire series, Percy and Annabeth are together. She owns a Yankee cap that makes the one who wears it invisible, as a 12th birthday gift from her mother. She fights with a knife that was given to her by Luke. At the end of ''[[The Battle of the Labyrinth]]'' Daedalus gives her his computer that was filled with Daedalus's notes and ideas. In ''[[The Lost Hero]]'', Annabeth throughout the book is constantly trying to find Percy, organizing search parties and going out trying to find him.<ref>Riordan, Rick. ''The Lost hero She welcomes to Camp Half-Blood, but seems to be distracted.</ref>
 She is the Athena's cabin's councilor. She was originally requested to go on the quest to save Hera, but declines so she can look for Percy.
 Annabeth is described as being athletic and having curly blond hair, tan skin, and stormy gray eyes. Annabeth's personality has been implied to very down to earth as she doesn't care about her appearance, always sporting a simple orange camp shirt and jeans. She is described by Percy throughout the first four books to be very "cute" but initially claims her to be very beautiful in the final book of the Percy Jackson Series.
 In the film, Annabeth is portrayed by [[Alexandra Daddario]].
+====Reception====
+In the books Annabeth Chase has received much praise from fans and critics alike, garnering compliments on her intelligent, thoughtful personality. B. Allison Gray praises how Riordan "successfully conveys Annabeth's emotions" in ''Battle of the Labyrinth''.<ref>B. Allison Gray, "Review of ''Battle of the Labyrinth: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4''," ''School Library Journal'', 03628930, September 2008, Vol. 54, Issue 9.</ref>
+In the film there has been varied reactions. On one hand, as ''Rama's SCREEN'' reports, "the one that's been causing argument is [[Alexandra Daddario]] as Annabeth Chase... the comments on her casting were in mixed response.... Ashley thought [[Annasophia Robb]] (Race To Witch Mountain) should've played that role meanwhile Kara and Victoria saw Daddario as too old because the character Annabeth Chase in the book is about 12 years old but Lily thought Daddario should be given a chance to prove herself worthy and Joe said that to make this work, the movie needs to make her hot, athletic, with curly hair and grey eyes."<ref>{{cite web|title=Dawson and Coogan Join Percy|url=http://www.ramasscreen.com/2009/05/06/dawson-and-coogan-join-percy/|accessdate=May 6, 2009|publisher=Rama's Screen}}</ref> On the other hand, Katey Rich writes that Daddario "looks just right for that [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]]-esque role of the brainy brunette... Daddario, ... may have just signed on for a role that will take over her life, and bring her plenty of [[Emma Watson]]-scaled fame in the process. I hope she's got her wizard's wand&mdash;oh, wait, I mean mythical god powers&mdash;ready for the challenge."<ref>{{cite web|last=Rich|first=Katey|url=http://www.cinemablend.com/new.php?id=12422|title=Percy Jackson Finds Its Female Lead|accessdate=March 19, 2009|publisher=Cinema Blend}}</ref>
