Character Name; Annabeth Chase
Canon; Percy Jackson and the Olympians (specifically, Heroes of Olympus: Reference!)
Canon Point; End of Mark of Athena
Age; approximately 17 (she's never given a canon birthday, it's just stated that she's older than Percy by a few months!)
House; Odin
Power; Fire Magic
Personality;
The first thing that Annabeth attempts to show anyone who meets her is her intelligence -- it's the thing she is most proud of in her life, something she prides herself on. Often in the series she is called the Wise Girl by Percy; she's intelligent, cunning, and very strategic. Many people look to her for answers when they have none of their own, because it's very rare for Annabeth's plans to fail -- and if they do, she has at least five other backup plans to cover for it. She's meticulous: her mind is constantly buzzing with a million different plans, and she's quick to make a decision in stressful situations. This is shown over and over again in canon; she constantly leads Camp Half-Blood and her own siblings into battle, and people frequently look to her for guidance.
Of course, she's not all brain; she's a warrior, born and raised to fight evil -- combining her intelligence with her long years of training, she's very at home on the battlefield. Annabeth knows well the role of sacrifice -- she loves all of her friends dearly, and would take a blow for any of them, even if it meant that she would die herself. Her tenaciousness and passion make her a foe to be reckoned with: she refuses to give up even if it means she'll be kidnapped, or worse. She's extremely stubborn -- when she makes up her mind to do something, even when it's awful, she stays the course. She refuses to give up or leave something half finished, even terrible things.
Her bravery in dangerous situations also sets her apart, allowing her to overcome even paralyzing situations. And she's learned that even though she's scared of something, that only means she has to work harder -- she can't run away from her fears, even though she'd like to sometimes. When Annabeth sets her sights on something, she never fails to complete it -- there is no option for failure. She'll do what she thinks is right, or she'll die trying. For example, she refuses to give up on her Mark of Athena quest because she wants to prove herself and see it through -- even when she has to face her paralyzing fear of spiders and her mother's worst enemy, Arachne, in order to complete it.
Annabeth is someone who loves to learn new things and enjoys being around people -- she legitimately enjoys hanging out with her friends because they teach her new things all the time, even when she thinks she knows everything. She's extremely attached to the people she loves, and takes it very hard when they leave her. For example, when Percy is kidnapped by Hera, she spends almost six months in a crazy, pained manhunt in order to get him back.
She's particularly protective of Percy above everyone else -- Percy is the most special, most beloved person in the entire world for her. She can be possessive of him, getting jealous when he hangs out with other girls and even snapping at him for not understanding why she's so angry, as if it should be completely obvious. Annabeth loves Percy with her entire heart: she protects him and fights beside him in every book that they've been together in so far. In canon the two of them are inseparable to the point that they refuse to leave each other, even when it means that they'll fall into Tartarus.
However, being great at battle, a brilliant strategist, a good friend all has to come with a negative side -- and all demigods have a fatal flaw, something that if left unchecked will lead to their downfall. Annabeth's fatal flaw is hubris -- overbearing pride. She has the deep desire to fix everything wrong about the world, and not just the normal things like poverty and pestilence. She also wants her family to become happy and normal -- her mother to visit her father -- her best friend who betrayed her and died to come back and be happy again. She wants to rebuild the entire city of New York bigger, better -- because, as she says, don't you sometimes feel that you can fix all of the world's problems by yourself? There are times when she lets this pride get the best of her -- she starts unnecessary fights because she feels like someone is slighting her intelligence, and sometimes jumps into things without thinking it through fully because she believes she can handle it.
Annabeth also has problems with people -- particularly her parents. From a very young age she's been short-tempered and opinionated, and tends to disagree with her father, who tried to send her back when she was born. She tends to not be willing to tell mortals or humans what's going on exactly, and withholds information for their own safety. She can be quick to hold a grudge, as well -- for example, because a Cyclops tried to eat her, Luke, and Thalia, she has an overwhelming dislike of their entire species, with only a single exception.
She also feels extremely guilty for the death of Luke -- because of her pride, she thought that she could save him from his terrible fate, but was unable to stop it when he died. Even though he kidnapped her, tortured her, she still believed that he was a good guy up until the very end -- and when she finally admitted it, he ended up not wanting to go along with Kronos's plan all along, making her guilty and upset at the way he dies. She's so torn up over it that she refuses to give any information to Jason when he asks -- she's just not quite over the fact that her childhood hero betrayed her, and takes it extremely hard. Basically, a lot of people over the course of her life have left her, disliked her, or forced her to run away, making her attachment to the people she likes very intense, and her hatred of people she doesn't get along with intense as well. She picks fights when she thinks she's right and tends to pretend not to care about the personal consequences, even if she's actually worrying about everything.
