History Characters / TheCampHalfBloodSeriesCampHalfBlood

* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: Enforced. She's doomed to always fall in love with the hero who washes up on her island, but never have her affections returned, and the heroes ''cannot leave until she falls in love with them''. [[spoiler:It's finally subverted when she falls for Leo, who actually reciprocates her feelings]].

* HistoryRepeats: [[spoiler:Fulfills the Patroclus role in the Trojan war. See AchillesInHisTent above for elaboration.]]

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Other than having an antagonistic relationship with Percy and his friends after taking Chiron's place as activities director and is more than willing to endanger all of the campers, he has virtually no impact on the overall narrative of ''The Sea of Monsters'', other than being to one who sends Clarisse on a quest, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk hoping she'd die anyway]].

* AntagonisticOffspring: To Kronos, as are all the Olympians.

* AgeLift: Applies to the major characters in the film series; instead of being 12-13 in the first book, they are in their late teens in the first film.

%%* RaceLift: Due to Rick Riordan’s preference of [[AbilityOverAppearance talent over appearance]], Chiron will be played by actor Glynn Turman in the Disney+ series.

* FatalFamilyPhoto: [[spoiler:He just had to show off a picture of his girlfriend right before he raids the Princess Andromeda...]]

* [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]]: To Percy. He's older and an experienced demigod, but has no problems befriending Percy. Unlike Luke, he remains this trope throughout the series.

After Chiron was exiled as activities director when Thalia's tree is poisoned, Tantalus temporarily took his place for ''The Sea of Monsters'', until Mr. D reinstated Chiron back upon learning the truth and sends Tantalus back to the Underworld.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clarisse.jpg]]

* BalefulPolymorph: Can inflict this on enemies with her "pig balls".

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}/NightmareFetishist: For one thing, at the end of ''Blood of Olympus'' she tries to keep the group of Roman soldiers that she'd previously [[BalefulPolymorph Baleful Polymorphed]] into pigs as ''pets''.

* OnlyOneName: None of the three have given surnames.

* OnlyOneName: His surname is not given in the book he appears in.

-->'''Apollo (narrating):''' [Austin] carefully removed a long brass rod from the body of his sax. He had all sorts of nonstandard attachments on his instrument, including a bag of exploding reeds, tone-hole cleaners that doubled as zip-ties, and a [[KnifeNut stiletto knife]] for stabbing monsters and unappreciative music critics.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The other campers may fear her, but they don't seem to respect or like her that much. Someone tapes a "You Moo, Girl!" note to her back in the second book, and everyone calls her electric spear "Lamer" behind her back.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In any given scenario, if [[BloodKnight Clarisse]] doesn't want to fight, something is really wrong.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Their dad is Hermes, so their mom is presumably a mortal woman.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Her father's Ares, so her mom is presumably a mortal woman.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mother is a goddess while her father is a mortal.

* HalfHumanHybrid: His dad's Hephaestus, so his mom is presumably a mortal woman.

* AscendedExtra: He's a minor character in ''The Last Olympian'', but makes a return as a more prominent supporting character. [[spoiler:Taken UpToEleven in the last portion of ''The Blood of Olympus,'' where he partners up with Nico throughout the last battle and afterward.]] He's given more focus in ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'' due to his relation to the main protagonist and accompanies Apollo on his quest in the finale.

* LadyLooksLikeADude: Implied in the books. The graphic novel takes this UpToEleven to the point that her face is indistinguishable from an adult man's in close-up shots, minus the facial hair.

* LampshadeWearing: PlayedForLaughs in ''The Tower of Nero'', where the [[spoiler:troglodytes]] make him wear one as a NiceHat.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Percy doesn't describe her as particularly attractive in the books, while the graphic novel depicts her as something of a BrawnHilda. In the film, she's played by the classically beautiful Leven Rambin.

* SeenItAll: Her reaction when Percy explains that the mythical world is real is "I knew it!"; ARareSentence from any mortal in general that even baffled Percy.

* BadassNormal: She hit the BigBad in the eye with a hairbrush.

* ShipTease: With Percy.

* TrueSight: Rachel is one of the few mortals born with the innate ability to see through the Mist, allowing her to see monsters in their true forms. She didn't have anyone to explain it to her growing up, and thought she was going crazy until Percy explained it to her.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Absolutely ''no one'' at camp likes Tantalus. Even Mr. D despised him and began having second thoughts of exiling Chiron. When Mr. D actually does denounce Tantalus as activities director and sends him back to the Underworld, ''all'' of the campers cheer and is overjoyed to have him gone.
* BystanderSyndrome: Outright demands the campers to not worry about Thalia's poisoned tree and even doesn't allow the campers to worry when mechanical birds that began infesting the chariot races. He also refuses to send out quests to save, and only relents due to the campers' pressure.

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Other than having an antagonistic relationship with Percy and his friends after taking Chiron's place as activities director and is more than willing to endanger all of the campers, he has virtually no impact on the overall narrative of ''The Sea of Monsters'', other than being to one who sends Clarisse on a quest, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk hoping she'd die anyway]], and banishes Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson for sneaking out (but he's denounced from camp after Percy exposes Chiron's innocence).

* PetTheDog: Although he was pressured by the campers, he relents and allows Clarisse of all people to lead a quest. Inverted as Percy points out that he doesn't care what happens to camp and ''wants'' the camp to burn for his own sadistic pleasure.

* {{Jerkass}}: Is a complete bastard to all of the campers, minus Clarisse, who he views as his favorite... but then Percy points out [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk he chose her because he believed Clarisse would die anyway]].

* PlotIrrelevantVillain:: Other than having an antagonistic relationship with Percy and his friends after taking Chiron's place as activities director and is more than willing to endanger all of the campers, he has virtually no impact on the overall narrative of ''The Sea of Monsters'', other than being to one who sends Clarisse on a quest, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk hoping she'd die anyway]], and banishes Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson for sneaking out (but he's denounced from camp after Percy exposes Chiron's innocence).
