Oracle

:For the character from Aladdin and the King of Thieves, see The Oracle.''
The Oracle of Delphi, or simply Oracle, is a minor character in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. She lives in Camp Half-Blood giving campers oracles before they head out on missions.
==Background==
===Physical appearance===
Oracle looks very dead with chalky skin, grey hair, rotten teeth, and soulless eyes. She also wears what appears to be clothing that is dated from the 60s with a long sleeved shirt, flowery long skirt, and beaded necklaces, making her look like a hippie.
===Powers and abilities===
Oracle's main ability is to foretell the future, though not in a traditional sense. Rather than giving a clear vision, the Oracle instead tells a riddle that hints at a person's fate. This is done in the form of a green cloud that emits from her mouth and takes on the form of someone closely associated with that person, presumably someone that is not held in high regard. In Percy Jackson's case, the vision took on the form of Gabe Ugliano.
==Role in the series==
===The Lightning Thief===
The Oracle of Delphi, or simply the Oracle, is a living oracle that lives in the attic of the Big House at Camp Half-Blood, having sat up there and acted as something of a mission giver by reading prophecies to campers before they went on quests. One year, Percy Jackson came up to see the Oracle and responded by spewing out a green cloud and emitting the image of his annoying step-father Gabe Ugliano who uttered "You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,/ You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,/ You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,/ And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."
The events ultimately were revealed to be referring to Percy's battle with the god Ares, him reacquiring the Master Bolt and return it to Zeus (though it could also mean the Helm of Darkness for Hades, Luke Castellan betraying Percy and his friends, and Percy failing to rescue Sally Jackson, the person he was motivated to rescuing when the quest begun.
==Trivia==
*Prior to Jennifer Shirley portraying her, Oracle was played by Shohreh Aghdashloo in the second live-action film (she was absent in the first film) and Jalynn Steele (who also played Sally Jackson, Silena Beauregard, Echidna, and Charon) in the Broadway musical.
