Introductions: (Note: Some things are tweaked for story purposes.)
Me: Hey guys! I've been dying to write a fanfiction lately, so here I am! This chapter/part is just introducing the characters in the story. I have a major Percabeth addiction, so that's mainly what this story is about. Sorry for the extremely long descriptions, I just got really into it. So, I hope you enjoy hopping on the Percabeth train with me, as I tend to drift off to it from time to time... Anyways, I love The Heroes of Olympus and Percabeth so, I hope you like this fan fiction. Message me if you have any questions or requests! I'll try to work it in!
Annabeth: Annabeth Chase is a 15-year-old girl, with a lot of brains. She currently is in 11th grade, and grew up most of her life sheltered. She was born in the capital of Greece, Athens, and moved to New Jersey when she was about 7-years-old. Annabeth lives with her father, and was pushed to work constantly. That's also why she was moved up a grade in middle school. She is always reading, writing (usually stories), math, you get the point. She does this mostly to distract herself from her past. You see, Annabeth had a mother (obviously), but has no clue who her mother is. As a child, she would cry herself to sleep, asking herself one question, why did she leave me? Her father dodged the questions, and Annabeth could clearly tell, even from then, it was too painful for him to talk about. Her mom had always been a touchy subject for her as well. From then, in about sixth grade, Annabeth was a ghost. She had labeled herself without help from any bullies to save them the trouble: She was a nerd, a bookworm, a geek, a loser, and to be honest, a freak. The only thing she had from her mom was a necklace that read, "It gets better" on it. Whenever she felt lost, she gripped her necklace. Her father repeated that she needed to let things go. She had already known from a young age, "Letting go is hard, but holding on is harder." She never had time for parties, friends, and especially, boys. This was mostly because everyone in her grade was a year older and assumed she was a total bummer (which she kind of was at the time.) Until one day, her world was turned upside down.
Percy: Percy Jackson is a 16-year-old in 11th grade. He was born in Greece, in the city of Patras. Percy had a very social attitude. He was the talk of the school, so you can imagine what he was like. Percy was a jock, a player, a troublemaker, and definitely, hilarious. He was great with words, clearly. He had this way of speaking, that basically got him both into, and out of trouble. He, unlike Annabeth, knew who both his parents were. He just didn't live with both of them. His mother, Sally, was basically his best friend. They had the open relationship that all families strive for. His father, Poseidon, was a huge marine biologist. He was very recognized and very wealthy. Poseidon and Sally didn't see eye to eye, sadly. Sally believed spoiling Percy would ruin his life. So, Sally became Percy's guardian, while Percy visited Poseidon on weekends and on certain holidays. Because of the divorce, Percy was always switching rooms, switching rules, switching parents, and switching lives. He had different expectations and desires from both his parents. Luckily, Percy always looked on the bright side, "Hey, at least I get two birthday presents AND two Christmas presents! What more can a kid ask for?"
Friends: Percy had tons of friends, but only a couple that mattered. Grover had been Percy's friend since they were just kids. They seemed the closest of all of Percy's friends, except for Thalia Grace. Thalia was Percy's cousin, which was hard to believe, yet seemed believable. She was slightly emo, but also had an amazing sense of humor. Percy's other cousin, and Thalia's brother, Jason Grace, was very similar to Percy. They were both on the football team, and they had the same group of friends, but Jason was just a touch more responsible. He even had a girlfriend that lasted more than a week! Piper Mclean was Jason's extremely beautiful girlfriend. She was also the nicest of Percy's friends. Piper almost had an ability with controlling love. She was the queen of love (more like the princess). She loved shipping couples and spending quality time with her friends. She was also extremely protective of her friends, almost as much as Percy. Reyna Avila Ram rez-Arellano was yet another of Percy's amazing friends. She was extremely badass and spent a lot of her time making fun of Grover and Percy with Thalia, sniggering behind their backs. She didn't have a problem with confrontation, and was happy to tell others the brutally honest truth. She could definitely dish it out to any student. She was extremely intimidating and was a born leader, similar to Percy. (If you hadn't noticed, these people are all similar in one way or another to Percy). Leo, the comedian of the group was extremely funny. He was basically the class clown at the circus. He always knows how to make you laugh and is a great, dependable person to talk to. Frank was pretty similar to Annabeth (not physically). He was a klutz, but a big softy and a all around lovable guy. Maybe he wasn't the cutest or the funniest or the hottest, but he was the most friendly. Frank, for some reason, had a frenemy relationship with Leo, because there had briefly been some jealousy over Hazel Levesque, Frank's girlfriend. Hazel Levesque was a reliable friend. She wasn't too close to Percy, but was definitely was part of his clique. She was a kindhearted person, and very similar to Frank. She was envied, especially by Annabeth, for being so easy going. She held basically no grudges (ironic), and was beautiful in her own way. Silena Beauregard, another one of the most gorgeous girls at their school, is very kind. She is very loyal to her friends and will do anything to protect them. Her boyfriend, Charles Beckendorf, better known as Charlie, is also a close friend of Percy. He is a very brave spirit, and is dedicated to his friends.
Other People: There was also 'the single ladies' (or so they called themselves): Calypso, Rachel, and you won't believe it, Drew! Yay! (Just kidding). She actually forced them to let her into their group, and took the position of 'leader of beauty', which no one called her, except her boyfriend, Octavian. Octavian and Drew have been dating for 2 months. Rachel and Octavian dated before that for 5 months, but broke up because Drew split them. Piper was particularly upset with that; she was the one that shipped them. It was kind of ironic that the leader of 'the single ladies' group was not single, so Drew changed their name to 'Beauty Queens: TGFY' (TGFY- Too good for you). She even made posters. Thalia and Reyna walked by and saw their faces decorated with sharpie mustaches and unibrows, and cracked up. Thalia couldn't help but take a picture of it. She posted the picture on her Instagram, made it her snapchat story, and sent it to Drew. (In that order.) Drew, furious, stormed down the hallways, giving everyone a 3 minute or 180 second lecture about how we were jealous of her, and how insecure we were for drawing that. (You can guess who did it, hint: they love blue food, and blue sharpies.) She was basically the most popular diva at school, and had a major crush on Percy. Percy used to feel the same way, but they broke up, and Drew stepped up and made it her mission to get him back, (my words, not hers. She could never admit that.)
So there it is guys! My introduction to the characters in this fan fiction. You'll get more of their attitudes as the story develops. I plan to add different POV's (Points of view's) to the story to make it more interesting. I'm going to try to upload once every week, so I hope this becomes a series you enjoy and yeah.. that's it for now.
P.s. I'm thinking of making my sign off name KHO for Kelp Head Out. It also stands for Keep Holding On. So, yeah, KHO.
