== Role in the series ==
===The Lightning Thief===
Annabeth Chase was born to the goddess Athena and her human father. While her father loved her, her step-mother didn't, forcing Annabeth to run away at the age of seven. While on the streets, she met Luke Castellan, Grover Underwood, and Thalia Grace. She joined their party and was taken to stay at Camp Half-Blood, but just upon arrival, Thalia was killed by approaching forces, the Furies. Her father Zeus turned her into a tree. Since then, Annabeth has had strong feelings of respect for Luke and Grover, and especially Thalia for giving up her life. Annabeth remained at Camp Half-Blood in the hopes of going on a quest.
Years later, Percy Jackson came to camp and upon his arrival, Annabeth immediately saw a potential in him. Feeling that he had some important innate ability, she recruited him to her team in capture the flag. Being the daughter of Athena, she was able to deduce that the feisty Clarisse La Rue would go after Percy while she and the rest of her team won the game. Afterwards, Annabeth's suspicions were confirmed when she shoved Percy into the water and saw him healed from his wounds; he was the son of Poseidon.
When Zeus' Master Bolt was stolen, Percy was seen as the main culprit and was sent on a quest by Chiron and Dionysus to retrieve it. Without hesitation, Percy chose Annabeth because he was willing to suspect that she would not hesitate to do what needed to be done, and Grover. Upon leaving Camp Half-Blood, Annabeth immediately took charge, something Percy didn't count on, and the group took a bus in the hopes of getting to Los Angeles to see Hades whom they believed was the one who had the Bolt.
The group immediately came into conflict with Alecto and her sister Tisiphone, the latter of whom Annabeth took care of personally. They ran into Medusa, whom Annabeth was nervous around due to her history with Athena. Using her invisibility cap, Annabeth made Medusa invisible so that Percy can behead her. They then used the head to defeat Alecto and then shipped it to Mount Olympus as a way of spiting the gods.
The group took an Amtrack where they ran into Echidna and the Chimera. When the Chimera stings Percy, the group make an emergency stop in St. Louis where Annabeth takes them to the Gateway Arch for protection from Athena. However, due to their actions with Medusa's head, Athena shames Annabeth by allowing Echidna and the Chimera to enter. Luckily, they manage to survive their encounter and make their way Santa Monica.
The group run into Ares who tells the three that he will help them get to California if they can get his shield back from the abandoned Waterland. Annabeth and Percy are forced to go by themselves where they discover that the place was built by Hephaestus. Upon finding the shield, Percy is forced to sit in a chair rigged to entrap anyone who sat in it. Refusing to leave her friend, Annabeth meets Hephaestus himself where she tells him that she sees Percy as someone who does not want to be ruthless like the gods. Hephaestus concedes and allows both her and Percy to leave with the shield.
Ares gets the trio onto a bus bound for Las Vegas so that they can see Hermes. Grover tells Percy and Annabeth that he believes that Clarisse stole the Bolt. They arrive and head to the Lotus Casino where they ask Hermes for help, but must resist the lotus allure of the place. Annabeth cleverly steals Hermes' car keys and they manage to teleport to Santa Monica. After Percy acquires pearls to help them make a quick escape, the kids confront Procrustes and find the entrance to the Underworld.
The group have a brief run in with Charon and Cerberus, during which Grover accidentally loses one of the pearls. They make their way into the Asphodel Fields, a place that roots people who have regret. Annabeth suddenly finds herself rooted, but refuses to disclose what it is she regrets. With no other option, Annabeth makes a hasty retreat by using her pearl to return to the surface, which just so happened to be outside of Percy's beach house.
Annabeth was soon joined by Percy and Grover before being confronted by Ares. She was forced to watch Percy confront the god of war, but was relieved that he managed to best him in battle. Afterwards, Percy prepared to deliver the Master Bolt, which he discovered he had on him after meeting Ares, while Annabeth and Grover returned to Camp Half-Blood. The two were later relieved to see him alive and well.
Annabeth got together with Percy and Luke to try and decipher how to break down their knowledge of Clarisse having stolen the Bolt, until Percy realized that it was really Luke, who just like Ares was in cahoots with Kronos in the theft of the Master Bolt. The two fought, but Annabeth, was eavesdropping on their conversation, ceased their fighting with Luke escaping. With their friendship strengthened, Annabeth tells Percy that she has finally decided to leave camp and return to her father and make amends. They, along with Grover promise to see each other next year.
