I understand that in real life there normally aren't hints until it is revealed, however that is the difference between books and reality. In books, the writer needs to have hints for the readers to pick up on or else when Plot-Point-X is revealed, the readers become angry. To the reader, it just feels like bad writing to have a major character trait just happen. I mean I got annoyed when we found out Thalia had a brother, something she never mentioned before it became important to the plot.
