Not that powerful, eh? Could have fooled me. You're the son of the Earth-shaker, lad. You don't know your own strength. When they arrive in Mount Olympus, the winter solstice meeting had already begun, and they begged Zeus to believe that Kronos was indeed rising. Thalia then chose to be a lieutenant with Artemis to replace Zoë, before giving Percy a hug. When he said she wasn't allowed to do that anymore (as Hunters can't become attached to males), she says she was merely honoring a friend. The gods then voted if they should kill Percy as he is the only known child of the Big Three to reach sixteen for the Great Prophecy in two years. Fortunately, many of the gods vote to let him live after Artemis declares that if he is killed, then the gods are then no better than the Titans. Poseidon also vouches to let the Ophiotaurus live, although kept in Mount Olympus so it wouldn't be a "bargaining chip" against the other gods. Before Percy leaves Olympus, Poseidon tells Percy in private that he has done well and he is proud of him. Percy and Annabeth go off to resume their unfinished dance from Westover Hall. Master Bolt: Thanks to Ares and Kronos, Percy temporarily has possession of Zeus' Master Bolt in The Lightning Thief before returning it to the god. After Percy fell into Tartarus, Jason felt guilty and said he should of flew down to save them, and should of payed attention. However, Jason was determined to get to Epirus to save him and Annabeth. In The House of Hades, Jason gave Percy a bear hug when he was rescued from Tartarus. Percy was very supportive when he found out that Jason resigned as praetor for Frank and had no arguments about it. Jason also found out that Nico had a crush on Percy, but he kept the secret. Hazel even stated that "[Percy] had the good looks of a Roman god." According to Piper in The Mark of Athena, Percy smells like the sea, looks like a skater and a troublemaker, but she can still see what women would like about him, even if he isn't her type. Piper later states that when Percy pleads, his sea-green eyes seemed to be "like a cute baby seal that needed help" and marvels at how Annabeth had ever won an argument with him.

The Lightning Thief is followed by The Sea of Monsters, in which Percy and Annabeth rescue Grover, who has been taken by Polyphemus the Cyclops, and recover the Golden Fleece to save the camp. They are accompanied in this mission by Percy's Cyclops half brother, Tyson, and by Clarisse La Rue.

While in Tartarus in The House of Hades, Percy is starting to show a darker and more dangerous side of himself in his personality. He begins to question himself about his morality, and if he's really a good hero or not. He wonders about the people he had previously treated with apathy: Bob, Calypso, and Nico di Angelo. After his return, he tries to make up for his tattered relationship with Nico by thanking him for visiting Iapetus. While battling Akhlys, Percy taps into his rage and controls poison to overwhelm Akhlys—to the point where even Annabeth is terrified of him. He was shown to be more prone to aggression when he vows to destroy Gaea and avenge Bob and Damasen, something which doesn't seem to disappear towards the end of the book. Cryokinesis (limited): Percy can use cryokinesis to a small degree. He can manipulate frozen or icy water around him, as shown during his interrupted fight with Thalia in The Titan's Curse. Rachel Elizabeth Dare is Percy's only human love interest. Before The Last Olympian, Percy notes that he spent a great deal of time with Rachel. He stated that while he was in the mortal world, he could always call Rachel and she'd be there so they could hang out together. In the beginning of The Last Olympian, the two are seen on the beach in Paul Blofis's Prius driving around. Percy says it was as if his dad were keeping the sea nice, just for them. On one part of their journey, Percy and his friends fight the Furies, which causes the bus they are on to explode. After escaping into nearby woods, they come across a shop filled with many life-size statues. They meet Aunty Em, who Annabeth later identifies as Medusa. Percy defeats Medusa and sends her head to Olympus to show that he’s not a pawn in the gods’ game. Annabeth, Percy, and Grover take a train to Denver but stop at an Arch during a layover where Percy encounters the monsters Echidna and Chimera. He jumps off the Arch into the river to avoid dying and is met by a spirit who tells him to go to Santa Monica before going to the Underworld. Daedalus' Wings: They were stolen in a skirmish in the center of the Labyrinth. Percy later threw the wings in a trash, as they were too damaged for further use.

To make things worse, since Calypso clearly still had feelings for Percy, which made things ten times worse for Leo. Ultimately, however, Leo is the one to save Percy and Annabeth by flinging a screwdriver at the Doors of Death, managing to save them just in time. Leo was very happy when Percy survived Tartarus and whooped in happiness. Zeus has mixed feelings for his nephew. He was upset over his birth because it violated the pact that he, Poseidon, and Hades made after World War II to not bear any more children, even as he himself did no better by conceiving Thalia. Zeus is nevertheless thankful for the demigod's past services to both himself and Olympus as a whole. During the Winter Solstice council meeting in The Titan's Curse, he voted to let him live even when it was no longer tied to the fate of Thalia. He was later angered by his nephew when he refused his offer of godhood because it seemed like being a mortal was somehow better than being a god.

The New York Times. New York, NY . Retrieved July 25, 2015. Calypso and Percy first met when Percy was stranded on her phantom island of Ogygia. Calypso had healed Percy after he was severely weakened at Mount Saint Helens. Percy later learns that the immortal Calypso was condemned to live on the island forever after supporting her father, Atlas. She asks him to join her and live with her forever where he would become immortal, but he turns her down, even though it would save him from the prophecy (if he had stayed on the island, he would never turn 16). Calypso was in love with Percy, and he somewhat loved her as well. Percy considered her more beautiful than Aphrodite, "but I wouldn't say that out loud or she'd blast me to ashes,". In The Last Olympian, Percy requested that the Olympians show leniency to the Titans who did not support Kronos, freeing Calypso from her prison. Percy has even stated, that for as long as he lived, she would always be his biggest "what-if". It was revealed that Hera sent Percy to Calypso so she could heal him, while the Fates allowed Percy on the island as he was the kind of person Calypso couldn't help but fall in love with. However, like all other heroes that land on her island, Percy had to leave her, which too was part of her punishment.Bennett, Steve. "Monster Mania". San Antonio Express News, February 12, 2010.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Book 1): Rick Riordan

Thalia Grace, Percy, and Annabeth heard from Grover that two half-blood siblings, Bianca and Nico di Angelo, had been found in a middle school. The three immediately set out to find him. Grover had been waiting for their appearance. He explained that he found the two half-bloods and that they were enjoying a function in the gym. He was very nervous and embarrassed as the only person he could dance with was Annabeth, who had recently grown taller than him so he looked quite stupid "dancing" with her. Percy, having been forced to dance to blend in with the crowd sees the two half-bloods following Dr. Thorn, a manticore which was not a very good sign. Percy felt disgusted by the fact that Thalia was always powerful and a hero at everything she'd done and so thought it was now his time to shine and ran to save the di Angelos from danger alone, though his plan did not work out as planned and he, Grover and Annabeth were nearly killed by Dr. Thorn.

Will Power: Percy is shown to have great willpower as he held up the weight of the sky for a long period time and endured the sufferings of Tartarus. Perfect Bearings: Percy always know his exact nautical coordinates wherever he is, which allow him to easily navigate his way at sea. According to Annabeth, Percy is obtuse, meaning he doesn't always see the obvious even when it is right in front of him, such as people's feelings and what they are trying to say indirectly. He has romantic feelings for Annabeth over the course of the series, but he finally confirms them in The Last Olympian. Despite this he is perceptive when he needs to be, Percy could tell that Gaea wanted to keep him alive and gambled his life knowing that he was too valuable to Gaea for him to die at that time.

After finishing his narration of the book, Percy mentions being late to a meeting with Annabeth, which worries him. Minotaur's Horn: Percy obtained this as a spoil of war when he killed the Minotaur in The Lightning Thief. As one of his few possessions when he first arrived a Camp Half-Blood, the horn became a prized trophy and Percy eventually hung it on the wall of Poseidon's Cabin after being claimed by the god where it remains. In The Last Olympian, Percy chooses not to claim the two horns that he'd cut off of the reformed Minotaur and lets them presumably fall off of the Williamsburg Bridge when it collapses. Hades later reveals to Nico that Percy had changed a lot of things for the gods, making them rethink their priorities, behaviors and standards. Hades in particular was affected by Percy's actions, causing Hades to rethink sending Nico after Bob when he realized that it put Will in danger too.
