pages 37-38 of TTC. Percy and Artemis talk over her appearing to be a girl. A" I could appear as a grown woman, or a blazing fire, or anything else I want, but this is what I prefer. This is the average age of my Hunters, and all young maidens for whom I am patron, before they go astray."

Interestingly enough in the myth of Atalanta, she takes Artemis's oath (though she doesnt become a hunter) and later breaks it by marrying and having a child. She was never cursed or punished by the goddess for leaving her oath. P" go astray?" A" Grow up. Become smitten withboys. Become silly, preoccupied, insecure. Forget themselves."

If her hunters fall in love or get too preoccupied with boys, forget their duties as a Hunter, she can kick them out or they can choose to leave. If Thalia became too preoccupied with Jason, put him before the hunters(like leading him to the Master of the wind's palace when she's supposed to be leading her hunters after lycon (sp)then she's out. Whether she did it intentionally or not. Hard to say that it would classified as Artemis kicking her out or her leaving but either way, she's out.
