Hyperborean wrote: But Calypso did undergo a major character transformation if you compare her in PJO and HoO. She was sweet and untroubled in PJO, yet she became sarcastic and snarky in HoO. Although, I do accept that her harsh reaction may have stemmed more from her hatred of the gods rather than from her not being attracted to Leo. However, she did behave similarly to every other girl (with the notable exception of Hazel) Leo had previously fallen for: Thalia, Khione, and, to an extent, Echo. And again, Caleo doesn't make sense and it is corny and cliché on top of that.

Mmm, I don't think I'd say she was 'untroubled' in PJO. She was desperate to make Percy fall for her because all she had to hope for was that she'd have someone stay with her instead of going back to being on her own for hundreds more years. She was being as nice as she could to make him fall for her. Then she found out the Gods were going to free her, so now she had options other than having to throw herself at whoever they stuck on her island, only they never freed her. They sent her another demigod, and she didn't want another demigod, she wanted to be set free. I don't think her character changed at all. We saw her be sweet to Leo as well once she put down her defences.

Leo did not 'fall' for Thalia and Khione, he found them good to look at. He found Calypso nice to look at too (as he does with many girls) but he didn't like her personality until he got to know her. The only girl he actually was attracted to as a person and wanted to be with in the series before Calypso was Hazel.

How does Caleo not make sense?
