**Perseus "Percy" Jackson**is a prominent figure in Rick Riordan's book series, appearing in *Percy Jackson and the Olympians*as the narrator and title character, one of the protagonists in *The Heroes of Olympus*series and a minor character in *Magnus Chase*and *The Trials of Apollo*.

In the film adaptations of *The Lightning Thief* and *The Sea of Monsters*, Percy was portrayed by Logan Lerman

## Background

Perseus "Percy" Jackson was born to Sally Jackson and the Greek sea god Poseidon. His birthday was August 18, 1993

### Physical Appearance

According to Apollo, Percy is said to strongly resemble his father, Poseidon. He has black hair and green eyes, a similar trait he shares with his father and paternal grandmother.

### Personality

Percy has a brave, sarcastic demeanor. Having a great sense of humor, Percy had earned the respect of all the Olympians including his cousins, Artemis and Dionysus (who hate men and heroes respectively), his deadly uncles Hades and Zeus (both of each dislike demigods and children of Poseidon in general and by the Romans at Camp Jupiter. He sometimes had a bit of a short temper, possibly due on his father's side, as the gods often got hot-tempered when someone offended them. Similarly, he is easily offended by bullies. Incredibly rebellious, Sally Jackson sometimes saw her son as a rebel, having the same rebellious look in his eyes.

He has a strong love and attachment towards Camp Half-Blood and has admitted himself that he does terrible in school due to getting kicked out of many schools, even not getting a grade above a "C." He is also branded a trouble maker as opposed to these attributions and tendency to get expelled from schools. However, this could mostly be reflected that he has dyslexia (trouble reading) and his ADHD to remain still. These are part of his demigod heritage, as the dyslexia helps him read Ancient Greek and the ADHD

Percy could also be impulsive on several occasions and reckless. Annabeth points out that while her boyfriend can be brave, he can also do pretty dumb decisions. However, he became less and less impulsive after *Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus*. Also, in order to prove that he wanted a better, peaceful life, Percy turned down the idea of going on a dangerous quest with Apollo because Annabeth and his family was more important to him.

His darker side is shown in *The House of Hades* where he and Annabeth are trapped in Tartarus and have to escape. Sometimes, he questioned his morality and noticed the people he treated with apathy, Bob (the Titan), Calypso, and Nico di Angelo. Percy was always a good, brave person from the start.

#### Fatal Flaw

His fatal flaw is excessive personal loyalty to his friends and family In fact, several characters point out to Percy that he would risk the life and even the world to save his loved one or even a stranger. It is this type of fatal flaw that is of good-intention and is actually one of the most dangerous. Several villains, such as Kronos used this against Percy in *The Lightning Thief*, *The Sea of Monsters*, and *The Titan' Curse*.  Even his half-sister, Kymopoleia mentioned that Percy's fatal flaw would cost the Seven the world.  However, Hera pointed out in *The Heroes of Olympus* that Percy's fatal flaw will keep them together rather than make them fall apart like Mars predicted.
