I DONT own Percy Jackson, nor Greek "myths"
She was the forgotten goddess. She was the one to step down from her throne, instead to pull a bench and always tend to her fire. How often is she thanked for stopping a possible war? She saved lives, stopped the thoughts of bloodshed. Her siblings more than likely would have brought the mortals into this. What a mess that would have been.
Because she has no throne, people tend to forget her. She hates it. She remembers a time when the first bite of every meal was sacrificed to her. She doesn't complain: like her hearth, she is warm and , fire (hearth) has a bad side as well. She's still a goddess, and anyone who talks down to her will pay. She is a goddess, and like her siblings, she does a lot for mortals, and deserves a lot from them in return.
She's a virgin goddess. Once she was sought after by both Apollo and Poseidon. She knew they were wonderful people, her family. She loved them. But as well as being wonderful, they were womanizers. She could love them with all her heart, they could love her back, but even the gods can't resist all. She wouldn't - she couldn't be like her sister Hera, in a marriage where people are betting against, telling you to leave, always against you. Where there was limited loyalty.
She thanks Homer for his hymn to her. She is often forgotten, but he wrote it for her just as much as the others. That made her happy: even with all the other gods and goddess, she was not forgotten.
"Hestia, you who tend the holy house of the lord Apollo, the Far-shooter at goodly Pytho, with soft oil dripping ever from your locks, come now into this house, come, having one mind with Zeus the all-wise: draw near, and withal bestow grace upon my song."
When Percy Jackson gave her Pandora's jar, she felt, amazed. Out of all the gods and goddess, rather than including her, he gave it just to her. Her flames brightened. Her spirit fixed itself up a little. Perhaps she was remembered after all.
