In the final draft, Rick chose Poseidon over Zeus, so that Percy would never be too perfect and would always have to work really hard to be a hero.

Actually, a lot of people ( girls) find Percy “Perfect” since he is really funny, kind, loving, sarcastic, loyal and all. Also, he is really good looking.
