Characters in Percy Jackson what do you need to know?

Answer 1

Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a son of Poseidon and is the protagonist and narrator of the series. Being a child of one of the "Big Three" (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon), Percy is the hero referred to within 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.[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 is no limit to him, and he can see underwater at any depth. He can also communicate with equestrian animals (Pegasi, Hippocampi, etc.), since his father created horses from sea foam. He has a sword called Anaklusmos (Riptide) that was a gift from his Father Poseidon, delivered to him by Chiron. It transforms from a common enough-looking ballpoint pen. 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 five 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 actually 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 because he needed to help 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. He takes on the curse of Achilles (invincible in all but one point, which is a point on his back, directly across his navel) and leads the army against Kronos in The Last Olympian. 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 came from, so that he can learn about them. His time there will be reviewed in The Son of Neptune.[2]

Annabeth Chase

Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena. She is shown to be somewhat pompous at first, but quickly warms to Percy on 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, and is also by far superior 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.[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. 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 (he gets jealous when she talks about Luke). She is also shown to get jealous over Percy's relationship with 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, 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 welcomes Piper McLean to Camp Half-Blood, but seems to be distracted.[4]

Grover Underwood

Grover Underwood is a satyr and Percy Jackson's best 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). Before his death, Pan (the god of nature) proclaims Grover as the bravest satyr ever to be and names Grover as his successor to carry on his word to protect the wilderness. The Council of Cloven Elders is angered by this choice. He is the boyfriend of the tree nymph Juniper. But in The Last Olympian he is chosen as a replacement for Leneus (another Satyr who died in battle) on The Council of Cloven Elders after showing bravery on the battlefield.

Tyson

Tyson is a Cyclops, the son of Poseidon and his mother is unknown. Technically he is not a demigod, but at camp he resides in Percy's cabin, and is considered to be Percy's 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.

Nico di AngeloNico di Angelo is a son of Hades, Bianca's younger brother and Percy and Thalia's cousin. At first Percy assumed Hades broke the oath not to have children after World War II, but Nico and his sister Bianca had been placed in the Lotus Casino, where 'time stands still' since before the oath was made. At the time, he took great interest in a game called Mythomagic. Nico has the power to raise skeletal warriors, shadow travel, and create great fissures in the ground that swallow up anyone or anything unfortunate enough to be standing on it at the time. 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 became friends eventually. 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 at Camp Half-Blood; 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 convinced Percy to bathe in the River Styx, making him invincible barring the small of his back. In the end of the final book Percy makes all the gods and goddess to 'claim' all their children and make sure they have cabin's in Camp Half-blood. Nico goes back to the camp and makes a cabin for himself and all the other minor gods and goddess. Thalia GraceThalia Grace is a daughter of Zeus. She is Jason's older sister and the cousin of Percy Jackson, Bianca Di Angelo and Bianca's brother Nico. 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. They also had brief encounters with the Hunters of Artemis and she was enticed to join by Zoë Nightshade. When she was twelve, they were all soon 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 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 and transformed her to a pine tree. She is later brought back to life by the Golden Fleece and joins the quest in the third book where she ultimately joins the Hunters, taking the place of Zoë Nightshade. She has a younger brother, Jason Grace who was separated from her when she was 7. This became the reason she ran away from home.She wears a lot of dark makeup and punk style clothing. She has electric blue eyes and spiky black hair. She is so like Percy that according to Annabeth, they either could be best friends... or worst enemies. (Thalia is also one of the three Grace's making her full name Thalia Grace too)
