Annabeth and Percy wrote: No he does not. I would say that they're personalities are quite similar. I beg to differ - while they do share some similarities, they have several key differences when it comes to their respective personalities, and I most definitely favor Jason's lack of an obnoxious sense of humor, as well as his lacking Percy's tendency to say without thinking, and constantly fail to pronounce relatively simple words. I really pity any person who is from a non-English speaking country and has to talk to you in English. Not to mention any people with illnesses affecting cognitive and verbal functions.

While Percy is definitely odd, if I were forced to choose, I'd still prefer him, his sarcasm, and his cheesy jokes over the dour concrete slab that is Jason Grace. There is a reason why they paired him with Piper, one of the most underwhelming characters I've ever read about in a book, and it's because they're both mediocre. I will not begin to continue on how little I cared about those two throughout the course of the HoO series, throughout their various triumphs and failures. I simply didn't care about those two.
