Board Thread:The Trials of Apollo/@comment-37514099-20181116162812/@comment-38639610-20190614164310

I would be genuinely upset if Reyna was paired off with Apollo. Not only is he incompatible with her, one of the most appealing features to her character is her being single in a series where everyone else is shoehorned into a romance.

It was frequently stated in the series that she felt alone and isolated in her position as praetor. I think she was more afraid of being alone than genuinely wanting a boyfriend. Consequently, she was quick to grow attached to any boy that appeared to be compatible with her (she knew Percy for, like, a handful of days before asking him out). I'd like to see her grow to realize that she doesn't need romance to feel a connection to people and that there's other ways.

Rather than Apollo/Reyna, I'd love to see Reyna's big sister role in Nico's life be developed and touched upon more. Enough with the romance. How about some familial love?
