History Characters / TheCampHalfBloodSeriesCampHalfBlood

* OutOfFocus: The twins were background characters and we don’t learn their names until ''The Battle of the Labyrinth'' [[spoiler:when one of the twins was killed during Luke’s invasion.]]

* AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:Castor is killed in battle while his twin brother, Pollux, survived. During the shroud ceremony, Pollux could barely form a sentence for his fallen twin and fights in the Battle of Manhattan to avenge his brother.]]
* CurseIsFoiledAgain: One of the perks of having their godly parent punished to act as director of Camp Half-Blood, Castor and Pollux get to have a lot of direct interactions with their father. [[spoiler:There’s also the fact that Dionysus is seen comforting Pollux after the death of Castor and wants him safe]].
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Castor is one of the campers killed during the Battle of the Labyrinth. Percy even felt ashamed since he’s seen him for three years but never bothered to know his name.]]

** Like the original story in mythology, Castor [[spoiler:is killed, but unlike it, there’s no attempt to restore him to life.]]

* CurseIsFoiledAgain: One of the perks of having their godly parent cursed as the director of Camp Half-Blood, Castor and Pollux get to direct interactions with their father, unlike most of the other campers. [[spoiler:There’s also the fact that Dionysus comforts Pollux after the death of Castor]].

* OddNameOut: Male god cabins are normally odd numbered, but Dionysus is even numbered along with thew female goddesses. This would make sense because Hestia gave up her throne for Dionysus, and as a virgin goddess, she doesn't have demigod kids.

Twin sons of Dionysus. [[spoiler:Castor was killed during the Battle of the Labyrinth, leaving Pollux the sole counselor of Cabin 12.]]

!!Other Campers
[[folder:Ben]]
A wheelchair-using demigod of unknown parentage. He first appears in ''The Tower of Nero''.

* GenkiGuy: One thing that Apollo notices about him all the time is that he jumps up and down ''constantly''. [[spoiler: He obviously doesn't do it when the Three-Legged Race goes into disarray.]]
* TheHeart: Apollo notes that it's just take one look at Harley to find why anyone would even bother to do all his games: he's just too damn cute, adorable, and happiness-bringing.

* Irony: A daughter of the goddess of ''rainbows'' who wears all black, focuses her artistic endeavors on monochrome photography, and uses her powers to actively ''remove'' color.

* ColorCodedEyes: Almost all of them have gray is the most common.

[[folder:Malcom Pace]]

[[folder:Chiara Benvenuti]]
->''"C'è un karpos!"''
Daughter of Tyche.

* BelligerentSexualTension: With Damien White.
* GratuitousItalian: Refer to the quotation above, among other examples.
* InSeriesNickname: Damien calls her "Lucky".

[[folder:Damien White]]
Son of Nemesis.

* BelligerentSexualTension: With Chiara Benvenuti.
* RedScare: He freaks out and calls Meg a Communist when he sees the sickle appear over her.

[[folder:Paolo Montes]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paolo_6.jpg]]
Son of Hebe.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Or, in this case, adjust to having reattached limbs.
* InformedAttractiveness: When he's not bleeding out from dismemberment, according to Apollo.
* LanguageBarrier: Claims to be able to understand English fluently, but only speaks Portuguese, which none of the others understand, except apparently Nico.

!!Surrounding Woods
[[folder:Grove of Dodona]]
A grove of oaks planted by Rhea that give prophecies. Burned down in ancient times, it has since regrown in the woods surrounding Camp Half-Blood.

* MadOracle: They're not all there, often talking about irrelevant or nonsensical things.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When they focus and give a specific prophecy they all speak at once.
* WiseTree: When they aren't babbling incoherently.

[[folder:Myrmekes]]
A nest of giant ants.

* ObfuscatingDisability: He goes undercover among mortals by using a wheelchair as a HammerspaceHideaway for his horse legs.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Absolutely ''no one'' at camp likes Tantalus. Even Mr. D despised him and began having second thoughts of exiling Chiron (and missing his pinochle games). When Mr. D sends Tantalus back to the Underworld and denounces him as activities director after Chiron's innocence is proven, ''all'' of the campers cheer and are overjoyed to have Tantalus gone.

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

* {{Tuckerization}}: As revealed in the acknowledgements for ''The Sea of Monsters'', Travis Stoll was named for one of the book's middle school beta-readers.

* TotallyNotAWerewolf: Well, totally not a centaur. While other centaurs are born of Ixion and Nephele, a cloud nymph, Chiron was born of Kronos, making him much older, wiser, kinder, and more powerful than other "true" centaurs.

* LoveFreak: Comes with being a daughter of the love goddess.

** He's eventually PromotedToProtagonist (alongside Nico) in ''The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure''.

* 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. The same applies to Dior Goodjohn in the TV series.

* RaceLift: White in the books and films, Black in the Disney+ series.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the books, his horse half is a white stallion. The movies and graphic novels go with brown instead.

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

* LightEmUp: It is revealed in ''The Tower of Nero'' that [[spoiler:he can glow in the dark]].
* MakeMeWannaShout: His father's role as the god of music lets him whistle in the ultrasonic range. It's bad enough to [[spoiler:stun the entire Twelfth Legion]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Downplayed, but she's either in sandals or barefoot every time her shoes are mentioned at all. May overlap with MagicalBarefooter since it gets more prominent after she takes the power of the Oracle.

* BeMyValentine: She's the daughter of the goddess of love, and her name is a play on "Valentine's day."

* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon is a barbed spear that electrocutes its targets.

* HasTwoMommies: Or, in her case, two daddies.

* BigFriendlyDog: Emphasis on ''big.'' She's at least the size of an SUV.

[[HeroicBastard Sons and daughters]] of the Greek gods. They have heightened senses and combat skills that take the form of [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny ADHD]] and their minds are hard-wired to read Ancient Greek, which gives them [[LIsForDyslexia trouble reading English]]. [[SuperpowerfulGenetics Their skills]] and [[GenerationXerox personalities]] are inherited from their divine parents (children of Aphrodite will be [[LoveFreak Love Freaks]], children of Athena will be [[BadassBookWorm highly intelligent]], and children of Apollo will be musically and/or medicinally inclined, as well as a good shot with a bow).

* ObfuscatingDisability: We first see him as Mr. Brunner, Percy's wheelchair-bound Latin teacher. Turns out his wheelchair is merely a HammerspaceHideaway for his horse legs.

* {{Glamour}}: Like most other supernatural things in the Riordan books, the Mist hides her from mortal eyes. As a result, she looks like a large poodle to Percy's schoolmates rather than a hulking beast the size of a tank.

* ThinkingUpPortals: Like the children of Hades, Mrs. O'Leary can open up portals to Shadow Travel across vast distances, but doing so tires her out.
