    open/close all folders 

     Apollo 

  • Abduction Is Love: Falls madly in love with Percy. Realises that Percy has no wish to become immortal and is likely to reject a relationship with a god. So he pulls a Hades and kidnaps the object of his affections.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: His awful haikus cause a lot of people, including Percy to underestimate just what he is capable of.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Percy believed that he was one of the 'nice' gods. Then he went and kidnapped her.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Really hates it when someone that is not him even gets to look at Percy.
  • The Charmer: Can easily charm anyone. Be it a nymph that hits on him and Hermes, a daughter of Aphrodite. Even Percy herself a few times.
  • Fool for Love: Even he admits it. He is willing to do anything and risk everything just to be with the one he loves for eternity.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Wants to hurt his brother Hermes, because Hermes received Percy's sympathy and compassion for Luke's death. Sends several demigods to their deaths because a great deal of them have crushes on Percy.
  • Love Hungry: Desperate to have his own happy ending.
  • Love Hurts: His love life has been disastrous and left him quite emotionally vulnerable. This time he is leaving nothing to chance.
  • Proud Beauty: He is hot and he knows it.
  • Stalker with a Crush: True to mythology, he has no boundaries once he falls in love and obsessively follows around and spies on the person he is in love with.
  • Yandere: If kidnapping and locking up the girl he is in love with does not qualify him, then threatening to burn the world or plunge it into eternal darkness if she is taken away from him definitely does.

     Percy Jackson 

  • The Ace: Is the most extraordinary demigod in history.
  • Awful Truth: Does not take it well when Apollo tells her that her father raped Medusa.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She does her best to be an Ideal Hero, but has a very nasty dark side which she struggles to keep under control.
  • Corrupt the Cutie: Apollo is determined to corrupt her and bring her to his level of darkness.
  • Gender Flip: This version of Percy is female.
  • Gilded Cage: Delos is this to her. It is an incredibly beautiful place, but it also is a prison.
  • Head-Turning Beauty: Aphrodite herself considers Percy extremely beautiful. Apollo is madly in love with her. Hermes is at the very least attracted to her. A lot of her fellow demigods have crushes on her. If her father were any less protective of her is likely that she would have been targeted for her looks much earlier.
  • Knight in Sour Armour: Does not appreciate one bit the toll that being a hero takes on her, especially once she truly starts seeing the gods for the monstrous beings that they are.
  • Oblivious to Love: When first waking up on Delos she thinks that Apollo brought there to avenge himself for some prior slight and it takes a long while before she even accepts that Apollo is in love with her.
  • So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Her beauty is what draws Apollo to her.

     Poseidon 

  • Determinator: Is determined to find his daughter no matter what. Enough to almost get in blows with Zeus when his younger brother objects.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: His easygoing fisherman persona melts the moment he is informed that his daughter has been abducted.
  • Papa Wolf: Has many faults but he does love his daughter and is very protective of her. Had he been any less protective, Zeus or another god would have already killed Percy for her impudence.
  • Parents as People: He has barely been there for Percy, but was prevented from doing so by the Ancient Laws and his duties as God of the Seas. Still, he loves her very dearly and is fiercely protective of her.
  • Torture Technician: Promises to torture Percy's kidnapper until said kidnapper begs for oblivion.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Gods do have some control on what their kids inherit from them. Aphrodite implies that he gave Percy her remarkable beauty, which caused Apollo to fall in love and kidnap her.

     Aphrodite 

  • Love Freak: As befits the Goddess of Love. Thinks that Apollo abducting Percy is the cutest thing since the Trojan War.
  • The Older Immortal: She predates the children of Kronos, and everyone except the Primordials themselves and the Titans born of Gaea.
  • Sacred First Kiss: She stole Percy's during the quest to save Artemis. Something Percy is rather annoyed about.
  • Secret-Keeper: Realises right away that Apollo is the kidnapper, but keeps silent because Apollo is in love.

     Demeter 

  • Mama Bear: She ravaged the planet to get her daughter back from Hades. Is more than willing to do the same to ensure that her brother gets his own daughter back.
  • Thicker Than Water: Stands by her brother Poseidon when his daughter is kidnapped.
  • Trauma Button: Percy's kidnapping and Poseidon's suffering due to it bring back her own experience with having her own daughter kidnapped.

     Sally Jackson 

  • Former Teen Rebel: Actually actively pursued Poseidon despite knowing that he was bad news. Has mellowed out a lot with age.
  • Mama Bear: Just like in cannon. While she can't personally do anything to actually find Percy herself, she is more than willing to utilize the affection that powerful individuals like Poseidon, Annabeth and Nico have for her to get them to search for her daughter.
