What are yall's thoughts on who Reyna will fall in love with. It interests me that someone wants a romance involving Reyna. For once, I agree if her character has a "love" buddy, her character won't be that sad.

Being a person who has similar personalities with Reyna, I understand the pain of watching others fall in love and yourself being the 9th (?) wheel in the group. However, since Riordan wants to bring out the strong and independent character, Reyna fits the criteria as she is strong (mentally; while watching others experience love and herself being lonely) and independent (not needing anyone for comfort).

Furthermore, Reyna's character has changed me, mostly changing my views on whether being with a certain companion or not, and staying strong is key to success. If this is the message Riordan wishes to bring out from Reyna, then so be it.
