Annabeth Chase

Before Birth
Annabeth's Father, Fredrick Chase, met her mother, Athena, when he was studying history in college. Athena helped this smart man to get through his studies and while doing so fell in love with him. As a gift to Fredrick, Athena sent him Annabeth who was a brain child, like all other children of Athena, on the west wind.

As a child
When Annabeth was 7 her father remarried. With his wife Fredrick had two sons, Matthew, and Bobby. Because Annabeth was a demigod, the family was constantly being attacked by monsters, and Annabeth thought her step mom did not like her for it so she ran away. She then fought monsters by herself for a few months until she met Thalia, and Luke.

On the run
Still 7 and hiding in a trashcan Annabeth heard a noise. Thinking it was a monster she jumps out with a hammer and starts hitting Luke. Upon finding that Annabeth is a demigod Luke and Thalia agree that she can run with them and promise never to hurt her. Luke then gives her his celestial Bronze knife, that she will treasure forever afterward. Together they are on the run fighting monsters and making hide outs on the East coast until they find Grover.

The Cyclops
Once, when on the run with Thalia, Luke, and Grover, they find a Cyclops`s lair, and everyone but Annabeth becomes captured. The Cyclops then tries to get Annabeth to come to him by imetating her dad`s voice, but insted of going to the voice and becoming captured as well, she stabs it in the foot and unties Thalia, who then takes care of everything else.

Hearing the Prophecy
When Annabeth was 10 she herd the great prophocy:

A half blood of the eldest gods shall reach sixteen against all odds and see the world in endless sleep the hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap a single choice shall end his days Olympus to preserve or raze

She has said that ever since she has had nightmeares about it. Every time a new camper comes to camp-half blood Annabeth wonders if they are 'the one,' because Chiron told her that she would have a part to play in the prophocy.

Appearances
Annabeth has curly, blond hair, That Percy said 'looked like a princess' and has stormy grey eyes. She is Percy's other best friend through out the series.

In The Lightning Thief
Annabeth first appears in The Lightning Thief and is twelve years old. She initially was nicknamed "Wise Girl".

She first met Percy Jackson after he was attacked by the Minotaur while fighting his way to the top of Half-Blood Hill. While he is recovering from his battle wounds, she feeds him ambrosia and nectar, food of the Gods, in the Big House, and is described as "pretty" by Percy. The first words she spoke to him were, "You drool when you sleep," though this was once he was conscious, having earlier asked him about the Summer solstice when feeding him ambrosia. Afterward, she is very hostile until she hears that he is to go on quest and wants to go along, thinking Percy is "the one" from Chiron's prophecy. Together, Annabeth, Percy, and Grover go searching for Zeus's lightning bolt because the gods think that Percy stole it. Throughout the book, Annabeth showed her unique intelligence, which she inherited from her mother, Athena, as well as her arachnophobia that she shared with all of her siblings on her mother's side (originating from the story of Arachne and Athena). At the end of the book, Annabeth is deeply hurt by Luke's betrayal.

In The Sea of Monsters
Annabeth returned once again to help Percy save the camp, though this time as friends, the previous tension between them as a result of their parentage resolved at Percy's offer to put their differences aside. Together, they journeyed to the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece, which was essential in the effort to Thalia's tree at half-blood hill, thereby preserving the magical barrier to monsters around the Camp. A secondary goal (though not secondary to Percy) was to save Grover from Polyphemus, a huge cyclops, who had used the Golden Fleece to lure in unsuspecting satyrs searching for the long lost Pan. Annabeth hears the Sirens' song after convincing Percy to tie her to the mast and confirms that her fatal flaw is hubris, being a child of Athena. She learns to accept Tyson, Percy's young Cyclops brother, overcoming a "bad experience," with a cyclops as, Annabeth put it, that she had encountered in her past. When the foursome returned back to camp, Annabeth and Percy teamed up to win the chariot race waged between the cabins of the Camp. Following their victory, Annabeth's perpetual facade of calm cracked slightly when she kissed Percy on the cheek.

In The Titan's Curse
Annabeth was kidnapped after a battle with Dr. Thorn, a Manticore, and was taken prisoner by the Titan king Kronos' minions. Before she got kidnapped, she was last seen dancing with Percy. The Oracle of Delphi gave one of her ever-cryptic prophecies, and off went Percy, Thalia, Grover, Bianca di Angelo (a young girl whom Percy, Annabeth and Thalia were attempting to recruit when Annabeth was taken) and the huntress Zoë Nightshade in pursuit. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, convinced Percy about his love for Annabeth, though she also made it exceptionally harder for them to fall in love. Though Percy was originally not included in the quest, Hermes appeared to him and convinced him to follow. He was seemingly unable to leave the fate of his best friend in the hands of others. After a prolonged quest, which included the losses of Bianca De Angelo and Zoë Nightshade, the group arrived at the ruins of the Titans' palace, and found Annabeth, who had he noticed had a gray streak in her hair, a captive of Luke and Atlas, and the goddess Artemis who was struggling under the weight of the sky. Upon the reimprisonment of the Titan and the apparent death of Luke, Annabeth was saved by Percy and the others, along with her mortal father, who strafed monsters chasing the group using celestial bronze bullets he made from Annabeth's materials that she had left behind.

In The Battle of the Labyrinth
Annabeth is fifteen years old, and she and Percy find an entrance into the Labyrinth. She realizes that Luke may try to use this entrance to invade the camp and she is starting to realize she has feelings for Percy when she and Percy were supposed to go to the movies together, but is jealous when she finds out that Percy was accused of setting fire to his future school, (again) Goode High School, because Rachael Elizabeth Dare, a red-headed mortal girl, is with him. When he gets back from Ogygia, the island of Calypso, she knows that he is hiding something about where he was.

Annabeth leads the quest into the Labyrinth, fulfilling one of her ambitions at last. Annabeth descends into the Labyrinth with Percy, Grover, and Tyson to find a way to stop Kronos's evil forces from entering the borders of Camp Half-Blood by searching for its inventor, Daedalus. The prophecy the Oracle gave her appears to have scared her and she refuses to say the last line. As they go into the Labyrinth, they face and fight many monsters. Annabeth faces a Sphinx and finds the riddles (which are actually factual questions) not challenging and an insult to her intellect. They escape the claws of the Sphinx and continue on to find Hephaestus so he can tell them about where to find Daedalus.

Annabeth believes that Percy will die when Mount St. Helens erupts but right before he goes in she kisses him, but this is not the case. Percy has instead been marooned on the island of Ogygia, where the sad but seductive Calypso resides. When she sees Percy return from Ogygia (whilst she is burning his shroud, believing him to be dead) she hugs him fiercely, scolding him; but quickly lets go when she realizes she is making a big scene in front of all of the other campers. Whilst she finds out what happened to Percy after he tells her and Chiron, she angrily exits, figuring out where he was stranded, obviously feeling jealous. Percy takes mortal Rachel Elizabeth Dare, (much to Annabeth's dismay, who is obviously feeling jealous) to help them on their way through the labyrinth, and the three of them discover Luke, who has become Kronos's vessel. After a battle, Luke is forced back into the Labyrinth, leaving two casualties. Annabeth is last seen in Battle of the Labyrinth, leaving Percy on the hill, not looking back.

In The Last Olympian
Annabeth joins forces with the Campers and goes to New York City to save Manhattan from Kronos' army. At one point, she takes a poisoned knife for Percy, that Ethan was using to try to stab Percy. Percy gets Blackjack to fly her away, and takes Kronos on, and has to retreat.

She saves Percy and Olympus by finally realizing for whom the prophecy is truly meant for: Luke. She tells Percy to give Luke her knife (that was given to her by Luke when she was seven) so he can stab himself, which would banish Kronos to Tartarus.

Annabeth is rewarded by the gods, now being able to fulfill her dreams and design the gods a new city on Olympus, as the old one was ruined by the battle, she is also allowed to design the new cabins.

She and Percy celebrate his 16th birthday privately, in the apparently empty dining pavillion of Camp Half-Blood. Percy attempts to tell her he has strong feelings for her, but she is amused, up until the point he states that she is not making it easy for him to admit it. She laughs and warns him that she 'will never ever make things easy for him,' and that he should get used to it, then kisses him on the lips. Clarisse and several other nosy campers eavesdrop on the whole episode, and they throw Percy and Annabeth into the canoe lake. But Percy creates an air bubble, because he is a son of Poseidon, and they share "the best underwater kiss of all time", as Percy says.

The Hunters of Artemis
Annabeth was very close to joining the Hunters in the Titans Curse. This is known when Grover finds a brochure about the Hunt in her backpack, and Thalia states: "Annabeth wanted to join the Hunters. Maybe you should figure out why." Another possible hint was when Percy and Annabeth were dancing in the millitary school, they are talking about her problems of moving to San Fransisco. She says, "It's more serious than that. Percy I...I should probably tell you something." This could possibly mean that she was going to join the hunt to escape monsters and her problems. But in the end, she decides against it, and in her interview in Percy Jackson: The Demigod Files, when asked about what other god she thought on the Olympian council was wise, and was talking about Artemis, she says, "She doesn't understand guys, though. I guess nobody's perfect." Plus its hard to give up love and join the Hunt after she becomes Percy's girlfriend.

Fear
Like all other Half-blood children of Athena, Annabeth has a immense fear of spiders, freezing up just when she sees one or anything that bears a close resemblance to them. This fear is because of Athena's bad history with Arachne the Goddess of spiders and Arachne's hatred of Athena. A long time ago, the goddess Arachne challenged Athena to see who could make the best tapestry. Athena accepted the challenge, and the two both made a tapestry. Athena's was of the gods punishing mortals for being to full of pride. Arachne's showed the gods in insulting ways. Athena destroyed the tapestry and turned Arachne into a spider out of rage (supposedly after Arachne tried to kill herself). Ironically Arachne could still probably use the web from her spinnerets to make silk. Ever since then Athena's children have been paranoid that every spider they see is out to get them.

In the film The Lightning Thief, Annabeth is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario. In the film, Annabeth is seen at Camp Half-Blood after Percy's battle with the Minotaur, fighting several campers at once and beats them all. She later takes on Percy during a game of Capture the Flag and very easily defeats him, until he goes to the water to heal himself, which he then proceeds to fight her more forcefully and successfully disarms her. Later, Annabeth decides to go the quest with Percy and Grover. Medusa specifically wants to kill her because her mother, Athena, cursed her. Percy saves Annabeth and she drives the car that knocks Medusa to the ground to give Percy time to escape. She is a formidable fighter and shows her book counterparts ability to react events that happened in Greek mythology, such as warning Percy about the Hydra and the story of Hercules and Hermes going to the Underworld.
