Kayla Knowles

Kayla is a Greek demigod daughter of Apollo. She was with her siblings and the rest of the campers during the Battle of Manhattan in The Last Olympian. It is unknown if she survived the battle.

The Last Olympian
Kayla is among the campers that go to New York City and fight for the Olympians. She and her half-brother, Austin, set traps along the Brooklyn Bridge with their half-brother, Michael Yew, directing them.

Kayla probably survives the battle and is commanded by the new cabin counselor, Will Solace, to look for Michael Yew. Michael's body is never found (though he is later revealed to have died), as this seems to be the general opinion at the memorial ceremony. Percy Jackson only sees his bow and presumes that he had fallen into the river below the Williamsburg Bridge.

Abilities

 * ADHD: Like most demigods, she has superhuman reflexes.
 * Dyslexia: Her brain is hard-wired for Ancient Greek instead of modern languages.

Demigod Abilities

 * As Apollo's daughter, she is a naturally talented archer, her skills only rivaled by her aunt, Artemis' maiden hunters.
 * Since Apollo is god of music, Kayla is a natural musician.
 * She can curse others to only speak in rhyming couplets that can take days or even weeks to wear off.
 * Vitakinesis: As daughter of Apollo, she can heal people by singing to her father in Ancient Greek.
 * She is skilled in physical contests and games.

Trivia

 * Her first name means Laurel in Arabic, suggestive of a reference to her father since the Laurel happens to be his symbol.
 * In the Greek, the meaning of her name is pure.
