## Appearance

Thalia is a teenaged girl with shoulder-length, spiky black hair, electric blue eyes (though they are "stormy green" in Percy's dream of her in *The Lightning Thief* and stormy blue in Percy's dream in *The Sea of Monsters*), and freckles across her nose. She is described as being "extremely pretty" by fellow campers, and is "beautiful", according to Artemis. She typically wears a magical silver bracelet that turns into a modified version of Zeus' shield, Aegis, as well as a collapsible Mace canister that changes into a spear.

Thalia is often described as "punk" or "goth", and while her style of dress varies throughout the books, one of the most consistent features of her appearance is that of a silver circlet on her head, which she received after she became a Hunter of Artemis; it looks like a princess' tiara according to Percy, and symbolizes her position as the first lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis.

In *The Sea of Monsters*, when Percy saw Thalia in a dream, she was described as having spiky black hair, dark eye-liner around her stormy blue eyes, a spray of freckles across her nose, and she wore punk-style clothes with silver chains on her wrists. When she was resurrected near the end of the book, Percy noted that she was built like a long-distance runner, lithe and strong, and she wore clothes that were somewhere between punk and Goth: a black T-shirt, black tattered jeans, and a leather jacket with buttons from a bunch of bands he had never heard of. In The *Titan's Curse*, Thalia's attire consisted of a ripped-up army jacket, black leather pants and chain jewelry, and she wore black eye-liner around her eyes. In *The Last Olympian*, Thalia wore a black leather jacket, a "Death to Barbie" T-shirt, with a picture of a Barbie doll with an arrow going through its head, skull-shaped earrings and a silver circlet in her hair.

## Personality

Thalia is an exceptionally brave, strong, and caring girl, though at times she can be profoundly stubborn, prideful, and assertive, much like her father Zeus. She likes to be in charge and give out orders to people and becomes very angry if they are disobeyed (normally by Percy). She also has a bit of a temper, as shown during the Capture the Flag match against the Hunters when Percy left his post, causing them to lose the game, so she shocked him with electricity, causing a fight.

In some ways she's very similar to Artemis, as she enjoys being around her fellow Hunters and is a great fighter. She is also very loyal to those she trusts and respects, as she is willing to risk her life to protect them (for example, when she sacrificed herself on top of Half-Blood Hill). Unlike her fellow Hunters, Thalia apparently does not mind being around boys.

Thalia also possesses a number of similarities with her father, Zeus. Aside from being a proficient warrior and extremely powerful, Thalia is also a great leader when she needs to be and is completely relentless against an opponent. However, Thalia has the unfortunate weakness of being supremely prideful, shown by her demanding that Percy not revealing her being afraid of heights. That said, Thalia is still *extremely* brave and stunningly loyal, shown by her fighting off the most frightening monsters from the Underworld, namely the Furies and a horde of Hellhounds, at Half-Blood Hill to allow her friends to escape. Her bravery obviously impressed her father, Zeus, for he decided to transform her into a pine tree so that she could survive, but this may have been influenced more by the fact that she was his daughter and Zeus has a bad habit of playing favourites.

Thalia is extremely emotional in some times, and this means that her heart can overpower her head. This can be associated with her explosive temper, but also when she became destructively angry when Percy discovered she was afraid of heights. Thalia is also crying rivers whilst fighting Luke in *The Titan's Curse*, as she could not bring herself to believe that he had betrayed her.

Chiron once said that Percy and Thalia are very much alike. The only difference is that Thalia is more sure of herself, while Percy has less self-confidence.

### Fatal Flaw

Thalia's fatal flaw is that she has a weak resistance when she is offered power (mirroring Zeus's power struggle with his brothers, as she is also conflicted with Percy over capture the flag, and when offered by Luke to kill the Ophiotaurus). She is also afraid of heights (acrophobia), a quality Percy finds strange and funny, as her father is the Lord of the Sky. However, Thalia demands that Percy doesn't tell anyone else. In the short story, The Sword of Hades, in *The Demigod Files*, she also shows to be very determined. Thalia has trouble abandoning a difficult task that she has started but is not able to complete.

## Power

Being the daughter of Zeus, Thalia is an extremely powerful demigod. She holds divine authority over the creatures of the sky as well as weather, having powers that are much greater than the children of nearly every other god, and is rivaled only by Percy and Nico.

## Main Skills and Equipment

**Demigod Physiology**: As a demigod child of Zeus, who is the mightiest of the Big Three, Thalia's superhuman powers are above the average demigod, and equal to that of Percy and Nico.

* **Atmokinesis**: Thalia has a minor degree of control over the weather, granting power over lightning and thunder.
	+ **Storm Generation**: In The Titan's Curse, a small storm of lightning raged around Thalia as she fought Luke.
* **Electrokinesis**: As a daughter of Zeus, Thalia has a great amount of control over electricity and lightning.
	+ **Electric Sense**: Thalia can sense incoming lightning bolts, as shown when got Zoe, Percy, and herself out of Mr. Chase's car in time before a lightning bolt obliterated it.
	+ **Static Shock**: Thalia can send powerful amounts of static shock throughout another person's body on contact. She can emit blue static sparks when she is angry. In *The Titan's Curse*, it is said her shocks are known "to fry off people's eyebrows." After a failed Capture the Flag game, her static shock sent Percy flying back some ten feet.
	+ **Electric Arc**: Thalia can generate and discharge powerful electric bolts of energy. In The *Titan's Curse*, she discharged an arc powerful enough to wound the invulnerable Nemean Lion's tail. Later, she discharged a bolt powerful enough to buck the knee of a twenty-story tall Talos replica.
	+ **Electric Shield**: Thalia has shown the ability to utilize her control over static electricity defensively. In The Titan's Curse, a ball of lightning erupted when Luke swung Backbiter against Thalia's shield.
		- **Lightning Bolts**: Thalia's most powerful ability is to summon lightning bolts from the heavens (though this is much more draining than static). She usually utilizes her spear to direct her blasts. In *The Titan's Curse*, her lightning bolt was powerful enough to painfully afflict and stun a water-enhanced Percy.
* **Mist Control**: Thalia can manipulate the Mist, which means she can make things appear as she wants them to appear to the eyes of a mortal (taught to her by Chiron, shown in The Titan's Curse). However, she only has limited control over this ability.
* **Zeus' Authority**: Things that belong to her father's domain can do as she asks, such as statues of the angels in The Titan's Curse, which were gifts to her father. They, on her request, flew her and her friends to San Francisco.
* **Aerokinesis (*possibly*)**: Thalia may posses power over the air like her brother, as her father is Lord of the Sky. However, whether or not she actually posses this ability is unknown due to her acrophobia, fear of heights which is a bit ironic.
* **Superhuman Strength**: As a Demigod daughter of Zeus, one of the Big Three, Thalia's strength was naturally considerable and surpasses most other demigods. In The Titan's Curse, Thalia managed not to drop her shield when it was bombarded by the Manticore's darts, projectiles thrown powerfully enough to severly damage Percy's shield. Later, she was able to kick Luke off of a cliff, despite his greater body mass.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Thalia managed to evade the Nemean Lion's claws in close quarters. She also managed to kick Luke away before he could grab her spear, despite Luke being extremely fast for a demigod.
* **ADHD**: Like all demigods, Thalia possesses inborn supernatural battle reflexes and senses that she uses to analyze the fighting style of her opponent. She also could sense imminent danger, as she did in The Titan's Curse at Westover Academy.
* **Dyslexia**: Her brain is hard-wired for reading Ancient Greek instead of modern languages.

**Huntress of Artemis**: As the lieutenant of Artemis, Thalia has the following abilities.

* **Enhanced Physiology**: Thalia is naturally slightly stronger and faster than a regular demigod.
* **Animal Communication**: Thalia can communicate with animals loyal to Artemis, such as wolves, hawks, and does.
* **Huntress Immortality**: Thalia became Artemis' lieutenant (replacing Zoë Nightshade) in the end of *The Titan's Curse*, and as a result she is immortal, unless she falls in battle, chooses to leave, or falls in love.
* **Master Archer**: Thalia is an extremely skilled archer, rivaled only by her fellow Huntresses and demigod children of Apollo, surpassed only by Artemis and Apollo themselves.

**Master Combatant**: Fighting Skills: Even before coming to Camp Half-Blood, Thalia was able to survive out in the open for two years, along with Luke and Annabeth. According to Annabeth, Thalia was "an amazing monster-fighter, even without training." Thalia later claimed that she is even better than Luke in fighting, saying during her duel with Luke that "you never could beat me, Luke!" during this time period. Thalia was able to single-handedly hold off a large army of Hades' fearsome infernal monsters for a while, though she was ultimately overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. As shown in *The Titan's Curse*, altough she had apparently only received little more training in combat after her ressurection, Thalia was still shown to be incredibly skilled with her spear and shield. Her abillities in battle with them were so great that she was able to not only duel equally with her extremely skilled former friend Luke, who was believed to be the most skilled swordsmen in the last 300 years of Camp Half-Blood history, (It was believed that Thalia was the only one apart from Percy who could match Luke at that point) and had an extra seven years of training on her, but she was even able to gain the upper hand and eventually best him (although Luke might have not been at his most powerful state at that time as he was described to be "pale" and "sweaty". Since then, after becoming a Huntress of Artemis, Thalia began incorporating hunting knives and a bow and arrow along with her original weapons, becoming an even more formidable opponent than before, shown while she battled the Keres, and helped Percy fight the Titan Iapetus in *The Demigod Files*. She also survived the Battle of Manhattan in *The Last Olympian*.

**Intimidation**: Thalia is said to be very scary in battle, something enhanced by the aura her shield generates. When angered, her glare looked like she would "shoot a million volts."

**Thalia's Weapons**:

* A copy of Aegis that expands from a shiny silver metal bracelet that she wears on her wrist. The shield is decorated with an image of Medusa's head, which many of the campers and monsters cower from.
* A collapsible spear that expands from a Mace canister, which she uses to direct her powers.
* A Hunter's bow, given to her after joining the Hunters.
* Two hunting knives that she can use to direct electric blasts.
