Annabeth Chase

Annabeth Chase is the daughter of Athena and mortal history professor Frederick Chase, from whom she
has an extensive paternal family including Magnus Chase. She is the girlfriend of Percy Jackson from book
The Last Olympian She appears in ​The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of
the Labyrinth, The Last Olympian, The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of
Hades and ​The Blood of Olympus​. In the film adaptations, she is portrayed by ​Alexandra Daddario​. In the
musical, she is portrayed by Kristin Stokes.
Annabeth is tall and blonde with stormy gray eyes and tan skin. As a daughter of Athena, she is extremely
intelligent and has a particular gift for strategy and ​architecture​. She is declared the smartest girl in Camp
Half-Blood. At the end of The Last Olympian, she is assigned to redesign the damaged Mount Olympus. Her
fatal flaw is ​hubris​, excessive pride. She is described by her teacher Chiron as "territorial about her friends",
which is manifested in some moments of jealousy and distrust. In ​The Lightning Thief​, it is revealed that she
also suffers from ​arachnophobia​, a fear shared by her siblings due to their mother's relationship with
Arachne, whom Athena turned into a spider.
Annabeth ran away from her father and stepfamily at age seven and encounters Luke Castellan and Thalia
Grace. They lived as runaways until they are found by Grover Underwood and taken to camp. Annabeth
remains attached to Luke and convinced of his goodness even after his decision to support Kronos. Her
attempts to bring Luke back into the fold are an important theme in the books. A crucial character to the
novels' plots, Annabeth even spends some time in Tartarus with Percy and Bob the Titan during The House
of Hades. At the end of the series, she and Percy plan to finish high school in New York and then attend
college in New Rome. In The Hidden Oracle, Percy states that Annabeth had gone to Boston for "some family
emergency" — searching for her cousin Magnus Chase. Annabeth's appearances in crossover shorts with
The Kane Chronicles,​ and in ​Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard make her the only character besides
Percy Jackson to have appeared in all three of the Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Norse mythology series by
author Rick Riordan.
Her main weapon is a short celestial bronze knife given to her by Luke. After losing it in The House of Hades,
she uses a drakon-bone sword given to her by the giant Damasen. She also uses Sadie Kane's wand when it
turned into a dagger like the one Luke gave her. Annabeth also owns an invisibility ​Yankees cap, a gift from
her mother. At the end of The Battle of the Labyrinth, Daedalus gives Annabeth his incredibly advanced
laptop which she loses in Tartarus. In the third book of Magnus Chase series, Annabeth is wearing a ​UC
Berkeley College of Environmental Design​ shirt.

Annabeth Chase is the half-blood daughter of the goddess ​Athena​[4]​[5]​[6] and the mortal man Frederick
Chase. Born July 12. Being a daughter of Athena, who is a virgin, she was not physically ​born​, but is a literal
'brain child'; she was born as a gift to the man her mother loved. When she was seven, she ran away from
home. On her journey, she met ​Luke Castellan​, ​Thalia Grace​, and ​Grover Underwood​. Together, they traveled
to ​Camp Half-Blood​, running from and fighting hordes of monsters. When they got to the borders of Camp
Half-Blood, Thalia died fighting monsters so that Luke, Grover and Annabeth could safely get into camp.
Thalia's father, Zeus, changes her into a pine tree on top of a hill that comes to be known as Thalia's Pine
Tree. Annabeth lived at Camp Half-Blood for five years prior to ​Percy Jackson's​ arrival.
It has been shown that Annabeth does not get along with her father and step-family. According to her, her
father was not very happy when she first appeared and tends to look at her as a nuisance. Her step-siblings
appear to dislike her and feel afraid of her. Her stepmother seems to hate her and feel that she endangers the
family by being only half-mortal. At the end of ​The Lightning Thief​, Annabeth returns to her family to see if
she can get along with them. She is able to stay with them for approximately a year, but it is unknown if her
feeling towards her family have changed; however, in ​The Titan's Curse,​ her father and stepmother seem to
care for her deeply, and her father helps fight off Kronos's army to save Annabeth.
Annabeth is a good fighter, and has been shown to be able to think on her feet in very hard situations.
Despite this, Annabeth dreams of being an ​architect (building things), and the story has made many
references to this. In ​The Lightning Thief,​ she enjoys and quickly becomes addicted to the 3-D holographic
SimCity​-esque game at the Lotus Hotel and Casino, and in ​The Sea of Monsters​, it was shown that
Annabeth’s greatest dream is to redesign the whole world to make it better, make Luke good again, and be
accepted by her mother and father. In ​The Last Olympian​, she is granted the status of being the architect of
Olympus.
Hubris​, or deadly pride, is Annabeth's fatal flaw. Annabeth thinks that she is able to do anything: get her
parents back together, build great monuments, and save Luke, as shown in the second book. She
sometimes even thinks she can rebuild the world into an even better place than the immortals did. She also
has a deep fear of spiders, (arachnophobia), due to the contest between Athena and ​Arachne​.
Annabeth is described as being athletic and having curly blond hair (like a princess's), tan skin, and steely
gray eyes. Percy Jackson describes her as "cute" at first but eventually she becomes "seriously beautiful."

Romance
A key subplot in the series is the relationship between Annabeth, Percy, and Luke. Luke is Annabeth's hero
and one of her first half-blood friends. Annabeth likes Percy, which she hints at, but she still has feelings
towards Luke. At the end of ​The Last Olympian​, Luke shows slight feelings for her, sort of like an older
brother. These feeling are present despite the fact that Luke and Percy are arch enemies and he has
attempted to kill Percy many times. In ​The Sea of Monsters,​ it is shown that one of her life's wishes is to
save Luke from Kronos.
In the beginning of ​The Lightning Thief​, Annabeth is shown to dislike Percy when she finds out that Percy is
the hero of the prophecy. She thinks he is weak, and is influenced by the rivalry between her mother, ​Athena​,
and Percy's father, ​Poseidon​. But while they are on their quest, they have to ride a truck to get to their
destination. This is the first time they actually talk. In ​The Mark of Athena​, Annabeth says that's when she
chose to "like" him. At the very end of ​The Sea of Monsters Annabeth kisses Percy on the cheek after
winning the chariot race. In ​The Titan's Curse,​ there are suggestions of some romance between Annabeth
and Percy, although this is complicated by her lingering feelings towards Luke and the fact that her mother,
Athena, disapproves of her "friendship" with Percy. Though they kiss anyway. In ​The Battle of the Labyrinth,​
Annabeth finally expresses her feelings for Percy by kissing him good luck before vanishing using her
Yankee's cap. When Percy returns, she is highly jealous, because she knows he has been with the sad but
seductive ​Calypso​. It is implied that Percy is trying to tell Annabeth about his feelings, but Annabeth remains
distant due to her lingering feelings towards Luke.
In ​The Last Olympian,​ after the defeat of Kronos and the saving of Luke's soul, the romantic relationship
between Percy and Annabeth is solidified. Annabeth also states Percy looks 'cute when he's worried' when
he first checks on her after she took a knife that was meant for him. Annabeth tells Luke as he dies that she
always saw him as a brother, but never loved him. Later, she and Percy share their 10th kiss after she tells
him that she will never, ever make things easy for him. He describes it as if his brain felt it was melting
through his body. But nosy campers snoop on this and throw them into the camp lake. Then comes to a 11th
kiss underwater in an air bubble made by Percy. They are together at the end of the series. It is hinted that
they might be married one day in the future, as Annabeth said she wanted "to build something permanent",
and Percy states that maybe they were "getting a good start together".
