How would a child of Aphrodite dare him if he was sooo ugly? Exactly, and is obvious that Leo inherited all his looks from his great grandfather, Sammy. So my best guess is that Hephaestus genes doesn't really like AFFECT anything. So the child will end up inheriting his or her ancestors traits blending with their mother's traits. I mean I doubt that all Hephaestus kids inherited is muscled body. If they all inherited that, then why is Leo skinny? I think the reason behind that is because Hephaestus mortal kids will join Camp Half Blood at a young age or stay at camp year-round. Which will give them time to build all sorts of stuff, and spending that much time building IS a workout. Leo had spent almost his whole life running away from foster homes, so that wouldn't give you met time to build anything. So that's my best guess, any other ideas?
