How is Annabeth hard to deal with? Name me ONE example how that is true. '''Just ONE Example? As a matter of fact, I can provide you with SO many, but I’ll only use my top 4:  '''

EXAMPLE 1 —Initially giving Percy a hard time and being openly rude and discriminatory towards him just because he's a son of Poseidon. While Percy speaks with her politely and diplomatically, Annabeth is very rude with him, and openly says biased insults about Poseidon, without even remotely trying to be diplomatic…She claims that due to the fact that their respective parents are rivals, she is not supposed to get along with Percy.''' '''

'''Annabeth, children are NOT responsible for the sins of their parents, they are  entirely  different people! The proper approach here is to judge Percy by his own actions, and NOT to discriminate against him due to his lineage and his father's actions!!! After all, his father was not even the one who raised Percy!!! '''

'''

EXAMPLE 2 '''—Initially being extremely rude and racist towards Tyson, just because he is a Cyclops. Annabeth gives him distasteful looks, openly insults him (and rudely pretends to be very surprised that he can talk), is disgusted by him trying to touch her beautiful hair, and claims that Cyclopes in general are mistakes…

'''Seriously, Annabeth?! Percy has just been attacked by savage Laestrigones, Tyson had selflessly saved his life 3 or four 4, while risking his own, and all you can do is  glare  at him like  he  is the problem?! Look, I understand that one nasty Cyclops did terrify you as a child, and greatly contributed to the death of your friend Thalia. BUT that does NOT give you any authority whatsoever to be so hateful, nasty and racist to every single Cyclops out there, especially not one as innocent, kind and selfless as Tyson!!! Judging a race by the actions of a select few is completely and utterly wrong and disgusting!!! Instead of being so hateful, just calmly explain the problem to Percy and Tyson, and try to resolve it. '''

EXAMPLE 3 —Initially being extremely rude and disrespectful towards Rachel for hanging out together. As soon as Annabeth sees Rachel running out of the school with Percy, her smile melts and turns into a frown. She completely ignores Percy’s genuine and honest explanation, and is furious with him for telling a mortal girl about half-bloods… Still, the real reason she’s upset is because Percy and Rachel briefly hung out, and that they meet before…''' '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in12pt0.5in;line-height:16.5pt;">'''<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seriously, Annabeth! If you are  so  upset about Percy hanging out with another girl (and they did not even hang out properly!), maybe you should make your own romantic feelings for him more obvious, since he does not understand!! Also, he is  not  your boyfriend at this point, and can chose  any  girl that he wants, you have no right whatsoever to force him to love you and you alone!!! Seriously, if this is such a problem for you, just calmly explain it to Percy in a diplomatic way, and discuss possible solutions… '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">EXAMPLE 4 <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">—Annabeth’s reaction right after being reunited with Percy… She takes him by the wrist, and judo flips him over, and threatens him saying: “If you ever leave me again, I swear to all of the gods…”''' '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:16.5pt;">'''<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seriously Annabeth! Percy never would have left you out of his own free will, Queen Hera did all of it herself!! Therefore, the only person you should be angry with in this case is Hera, though you also might try to appreciate her long-term goal of uniting both camps, which is the only way to overcome the mighty Giants…You should feel embarrassed at causing such a ridiculous scene in front of all of the Romans!!! '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in12pt0.5in;line-height:16.5pt;">'''<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also, why does nobody ever appreciate Queen Hera, and all that she has done to make the Prophecy of Seven possible?! '''

'''<span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:14.979999542236328px;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">IS THAT ENOUGH EXAMPLES FOR YOU??? BECAUSE I HAVE MORE…  '''
