## Appearance

Annabeth has tanned skin and a slender, athletic body. She has long, curly honey-blond hair similar to "a princess," though it has a streak of gray as of *The Titan's Curse* due to the pressure of holding up the sky. Percy said that she "looked like a typical California girl, except her stormy gray eyes ruined the image."

Annabeth often wears a ponytail, an orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, and/or her magical Yankees cap (though only during a fight, since it turns herself invisible). She also wears her father's college ring and later a coral pendant that Percy gave her on a leather necklace with the clay beads that she earned every year at Camp Half-Blood. Because she came to camp at age 7, she would have 9 or 10 beads.

## Personality

Like her mother, Annabeth is an intellectual genius, wise and very witty. Her eyes look calculating, like she is analyzing whoever she is looking at during a first meeting, as if "*thinking of the best way to take the person down in a fight*". She loves architecture and spends her free time designing new buildings or visiting national monuments. She has a soft side for those who seek knowledge. She sometimes gets too philosophical, which makes the less complicated Percy to glaze his eyes.

Annabeth is very strong-minded and stubborn, showing to be incredibly determined and daring. Much like Percy and Thalia, she has shown many signs of bravery, courage, and dauntlessness. One of her most impressive displays was in *The Titan's Curse*, where after holding the sky for hours and starting to die, she vehemently protested against Artemis for taking her burden. Even beings like Kronos acknowledged that she is very spirited and understood why Luke wanted to spare her from the destruction.

Though she is very kind-hearted, Annabeth can be very harsh and judgmental during first meetings, but she is very loyal to those who later had win her approval. She isn't quick to give up on those cares about: even after learning Luke was a traitor in The *Lightning Thief*, she never completely stops caring about him and quickly took the sky from him in *The Titan's Curse* to save him from death.

According to Sally Jackson, Annabeth is the most level-headed demigod she has ever met. She hardly ever shows her true feelings, often hiding worry or upsetness with raw or teasing anger. When she assumed that Percy was dead in *The Battle of the Labyrinth*, she said to the crowd "He was probably the bravest friend I ever had", but when he emerged and she figured out that he recuperated on Calypso's island, she said he was "the single most annoying person I've ever met!"

### Fatal Flaw

Annabeth's fatal flaw is hubris, otherwise known as excessive pride: she thinks she can do anything and do it well, even building a world better than the gods. She believes that she could get her parents back together, build great monuments, and save Luke as shown in The Sea of Monsters. When Percy thinks that a world run by him would be terrible, Annabeth says he is lucky he doesn't have hubris, because she knows it is a really dangerous fatal flaw, which shows that she can recognise and acknowledges her mistakes.

### Fears

Like all other half-blood children of Athena, Annabeth has immense arachnophobia, freezing up just when she sees a spider or anything bearing a close resemblance to one. This fear is caused by Athena's bad history with Arachne, the mother of spiders who challenged Athena to see who could make the best tapestry. Both works were equal in beauty, but Athena couldn't stand the insult towards the Olympians, so she destroyed Arachne's tapestry and transformed her into a spider. Ever since then, Athena's children have been paranoid that every spider they see is out to get them - which is largely true as spiders are unusually aggressive to them. When she was young, the spiders would attack her at night and hide again when it was morning. Her stepmother would never believe her, thinking that the cobwebs were some sort of clever trick. In *The Lightning Thief*, Percy said that Annabeth was "screaming her head off" when they were in the Thrill Ride O' Love ride to get Ares' Shield. In the same book, she stated that any spider within the radius of one mile would be able to find her. In *The Battle of the Labyrinth*, she screamed when the metal spider leading to Hephaestus' forge pops up. In T*he Demigod Files*, she carried a bottle of anti-spider bug spray in her trunk.

Annabeth was scared of Cyclopes because of an event in her childhood when Luke, Thalia, Grover, and herself were trapped by one when trying to make it to camp. The Cyclopes used Luke's voice for Thalia and Annabeth's voice for Luke. She states that when she found Luke, Thalia, and Grover, they were tied up and hanging from the ceiling. The Cyclopes used a variety of her friends' voice to try and lure her out into the open, using her father's voice when they finally located her. Annabeth says that she still has nightmares about the Cyclopes' voice and finds it very creepy when a Cyclops mimics another person's voice, such as when Tyson mimicked the voices he heard on the Princess Andromeda. Though not as scared of Cyclopes as she is of spiders, it still takes her most of *The Sea of Monsters* to be able to get close to Tyson, even though he was Percy's brother and helped her a lot throughout the book. However, she would later accept him along with other friendly Cyclopes.

## Abilities and Equipment

**Demigod Physiology**: Like all demigods, Annabeth has above-average capabilities in terms of strength, speed, etc.

* **Superhuman Agility**: Being the daughter of a war goddess, Annabeth has shown countless times her amazing agility. She is able to make incredible feats, such as vault over tall objects with ease and grappling over a railing of a helicopter in mid-air.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Being the daughter of a war goddess, Annabeth is stronger than the average mortal. Even when battered and exhausted, she was able to physically hold the Titan Kronos (who was inside an equally tired demigod host) to a standstill with her knife.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Being the daughter of a war goddess, Annabeth is more durable than a regular human.
* **Audiokinesis**: Being a daughter of Athena (a goddess of the arts), Annabeth has an affinity for arts and music.
* **Telumkinesis (*limited*)**: Since she is a daughter of Athena (Goddess of Warfare), Annabeth has great control over weapons, though to a much lesser degree than the children of Ares.
* **ADHD**: Annabeth's supernatural alertness and keen senses that keep her ready for, and alive, in battle.
* **Dyslexia**: Annabeth's brain is "hard-wired" for divine Ancient Greek instead of mortal languages.

**Genius Intellect**: Due to her heritage as a daughter of Athena (Goddess of Wisdom and Strategy), Annabeth holds outstanding intelligence. She is very knowledgeable in history and Greek myths, which is very useful in her many journeys and battles.

* **Strategic Skill**: Like her mother, Annabeth is a master tactician herself. Her analytical skills are extremely sharp, which helps her to try to outsmart her opponents through creative plans. She has continuously proven to be able to formulate effective pre and mid-battle strategies. Her skills are more prominent in *The Last Olympian*, where Athena and her made numerous battle plans of various lethal degrees. Percy acknowledges that Annabeth is the best strategist he knows.

**Craftsmanship**: Because her mother is the goddess of crafts, Annabeth inherited her skill to certain extent.

* **Architecture**: Annabeth often studies ancient buildings and designs her own works, such as a temple for the gods in *The Demigod Files*. She can calculate the respective weights of several construction materials with few glances. Her skill was enough to actually redesign the Olympus after the Second Titan War.
* **Expert Technician**: Through her study of Daedalus's notes of flying machines and her father's experience, Annabeth learned to control and maneuver a helicopter. Her skill allowed her to save a falling helicopter at her first try. In *The Demigod Diaries*, Annabeth supervises actual construction equipment during the reconstruction of Olympus.
* **Memorization**: She can never forget what she hears.
* **Persuasion**: She is shown to be very manipulative and eloquent, as she has easily manipulated mortals, monsters, and gods.

**Strong Willpower**: Annabeth has amazing will power, as she was shown to hold the weight of the sky in a long period of time.

**Expert Fighter**: As the leader of the Athena's Cabin, Annabeth is a highly proficient combatant. She trained during her long stay at Camp Half-Blood. Though she is more capable with weapons, her hand-to-hand combat skills are considerable.

* **Weapon Proficiency**: She can instinctively know how to use any weapon.
	+ **Master Knife Specialist**: Unlike most demigods who use mid-range weapons, Annabeth is shown to prefer and fight better with a knife rather than with a sword. She trained in knife fighting since the age of seven. Her skill is great shown enough to fight on par with a skilled fighter of Ethan Nakamura's caliber. She was capable enough to even fight against Kronos' Scythe, a weapon made by Gaea. Percy described this event as only the 'quickest and most skilled knife fighter could have managed', if only for a very limited time.
	+ **Expert Archer**: Annabeth is shown to be somewhat skilled combatant with a bow.
	+ **Expert Swordswoman**: Annabeth is very skilled with swords, able to hold her own against larger, stronger opponents at the Parthenos.
		- **Disarmament**: She can easily disarm almost anybody from their weapons.

**Celestial Bronze Knife**: Annabeth's signature weapon of choice to kill monsters. It is said that the dagger will always protect the person wielding it, though this has yet to be confirmed. This knife was given to her by Luke Castellan, but it was later cursed for his betrayal.

**Annabeth's Yankees Cap**: A magical item that makes anyone turn invisible when put on. Its usefulness of stealth is an important factor in battle, which along with Annabeth's ingenuity makes it invaluable. It seems to have different levels of efficiency depending on the type of wielder and opponent. The cap was given to Annabeth as a gift from her mother on her twelfth birthday.

## Weaknesses

Annabeth suffers from occasional bouts of hubris when she's ahead, which led her into multiple predicaments that she couldn't escape on her own.

Her magical baseball cap doesn't hide Annabeth from detection through the other senses

Suffers from arachnophobia due to her mother's adverse relationship to Arachne, the mother of all spiders.
