Persephone Jackson never had a normal life. She never even had the illusion of one. She was always a problem child, a trouble maker. At the tender age of 8 years old, she had been kicked out of half a dozen schools in 4 years. At that same age, she found out she was a half-blood, that not only had her father, Poseidon, left her and her mom, but he was also the reason for her ADHD and dyslexia. He was the reason why her mom had to stay married to the abusive drunkard that was Gabe Ugliano.
She ended up at Camp half-blood, still 8, but now with her mom missing and her only friend being half-goat. After a measly few weeks of training in which she discovered her aptitude to swords and gained her own magic sword, she set off on a quest with her goat friend, Grover and a boastful daughter of Athena named Annabeth. The trio slowly made their way across the states to LA, with way too many near-death experiences. After blowing up a bus, the St. Louis arch, and having a deadly gunfight with the God War, Perci made it to Olympus with the objects of their quest: Zeus' overcharged lightning bolt and Hade's helm of darkness. They returned them to their respective owners, who, in turn, returned Perci's mother.
Next year, at age 9, Luke betrayed them. he poisoned the camp's barrier, His long time friend Thalia Grace's tree form. Peci's Half brother, a Cyclopes called Tyson also came to CHB. Again, Perci set off on a quest, this time only with Annabeth because Grover was missing in action, although this quest was not one issued by the camp's oracle. They got caught by a Hydra, who, in turn, got blown by the daughter of the War god, Clarisse La Rue. Clarisse was on the same quest, but with the blessing of Camp Half-blood. The two joined Clarisse on her quest, which takes its own maddening twists and turns, including an unfortunate visit to Circe's island in which Perci gets temporarily turned into a guinea pig due to her disrespect towrds the sorceress. Eventually, the quest members end up on Polyphemus' island, the home of the object of their quest: the golden fleece, capable of healing anything, including Thalia's tree. Fortunately, they also find Grover there, although his situation was not the best. He was trying to stall his impending wedding with the One-eyed giant. Using the same trick as Ulysses, Perci, Annabeth, Clarisse, Grover and the Majority of the other quest members make it out alive. When the fleece was Placed on Thalia's tree, Thalia herself emerged from the plant's roots, the same age as when she had become a pine tree.
The next few years went about the same way. They saved some demigods form monsters, Annabeth and Artemis got kidnapped, Perci fought the Nemean Lion, Thalia joined the hunters of Artemis as well as the newfound daughter of Hades, Bianca Di-Angelo. Bianca's partial immortality didn't last very long though because she was killed on a quest, that same year. Another long-time huntress, Zoe nightshade perished at the hands of her father after both Perci and annabeth took turns holding up the sky. Not to mention, Perci and Charles Beckendorf, child of the Forge Our favorite trio took a trip into a magical labyrynth of death with their new friend, A clear sighted mortal named Rachel Dare. They met the son of Nemesis and soon to be right hand of Luke Castellan, Ethan Nakamura and spared his life. They got a chance to meet Daedelus, who bestowed upon Annabeth his Super advanced computer and Gave Perci his pet hellhound, Mrs. O'Leary. Percy and Grover met Pan, the dying lord of the wild, blowing up Mount saint Helens at some point along the way.
Finally, She had to face of Luke castellan himself, Her first friend, the one person who had been nice to her regardless of her parentage, and now, the emodiment of Kronos. She met The godess Hestia, Lukes mom and gained Achilles' blessing by bathing in the river Styx. Camp Half blood and the titans faced off, the Demi gods charging into war with a now 12 year old Perci as their leader. Perci prevailed but not without great losses. Ethan Nakamura died betraying Kronos for her. Silena Beauregard rebelled against him after spending a long time in the titan king's pocket. And Luke. Luke stabbed himself in his Achilles spot, Killing himself but also the titan residing inside him. This action had broken Perci in two.

' She stared at the knife in Luke's armpit and his relieved smile. It was too much. Perci crumpled to the ground sobbing. Luke... her first friend at camp half-blood. The first demigod she ever knew. Gone.
His voice echoed around the ravenette "You failed Perci. You failed me. You failed everyone."
all the voices of those who died started speaking up.
"You let me die Perci. Now Nico's all alone" Bianca Di- Angelo told me
"I believed you. I trusted you Perci. And look at what happened; my trust killed me. You killed me" Ethan Nakamura's voice floated through the air
"Thee alloweth him to kill me. Thee didst nothing to help. Mine own blood is on thy hands Persephone Jackson" Zoe Nightshade whispered into my ear
"You didn't notice anything Perci. It took my death for you to realise." Selina Beauregard's disgusted voice said.
Hundreds of voices floated in the air, telling her how she wronged them, how she failed them but then one of them rang out clear as day.
"You betrayed me Perci. You left me on that boat, youre the reason Selina started spying. YOU'RE THE CAUSE OF ALL OF THIS!" Charles Beckendorf yelled.
It caused her to sob even harder, muttering apologies to the voices which only made them grow louder. Perci felt herself being shaken, and her name being called faintly. Whoever was calling her name was getting louder and clearer by the second, the other voices fading away.'
"PERCI!"
Perci's eyes fluttered open to find herself wrapped in Annabeth's arms, and relaxedd into the warmth. It had been six months already and she was still having vivid nightmares, flashbacks and terrible panic attacks, all about the titan war. She looked up at the girl who was holding her, at her empathetic gaze. Although she relished the comfortAnnabeth was providing her, the look on her face sent a whole new wave of guilt and sadness through Perci's body. She didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve her. And Annabeth most definitely did not deserve to have to hug the girl who murdered Luc, who was basically her brother.
"No! Get away from me! I dont deserve this, I dont deserve your comfort or your hugs. Im a murderer, a traitor."
The blonde's 12-year old face contorted, betraying the emotions that Perci's proclamation incurred. Sadness, pain and anger, but also sympathy and understanding. Her face finally set on a look of hurt, the emotion that won out all the other ones. She backed away, her heart filling with pain and sadness.
'Even better. If she hates me, she wont comfort me. She can save it for someone who deserves it, like poor little Nico di Angelo' thought Perci
"GET LOST CHASE" she yelled, the action hurting her more than it hurt her friend. Ex friend now. Perci watched as her four-year friend fleed from her cabin, the tears that had been pooling under her eyes trailing down her face. The ravenette curled up on her bed, closing her eyes and closing herself off from the rest of the world.

The next few months consisted of people trying to comfort the heroine of olympus, and Perci pushing them all away, claiming she was a monster and a murderer.
Soon enough, nobody else came to comfort her. She received hateful glances when she left the safety of her cabin. Exactly what she deserved.
Soon enough, Persephone Jackson moved out of Cabin 3, and back into Sally Blofis' house. Sally and Paul seemed somewhat reluctant to let her live with them. Of course, she understood, they wanted to keep her new baby brother safe. Perci resolved to only stay there for a few weeks before she left, but ended up staying months. The months turned into a year and a year later, there she was still at her parent's house. Until that fateful night. The night when her whole life turned upside down.
