Annabeth Chase

"I'm never, ever going to make things easy for you, Seaweed Brain."

- Annabeth

Annabeth Chase is the demigod daughter of Athena and Fredrick Chase. She is Percy Jackson's first and current girlfriend. She was a very good friend of Luke Castellan before he became Kronos' host and then died. She is played by Alexandra Daddario in The Lightning Thief (film).

Before birth
Annabeth Chase's father, Frederick Chase, met her mother, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, while he was studying history in Harvard. Athena helped him get through his studies and, while doing so, they fell in love. As a gift to Frederick, Athena sent him Annabeth, who was a brain child like all other children of Athena, on Zephyr the West Wind in a cradle similar to her mother's, who was formed from her thoughts. Annabeth's cradle was made of Imperial Gold. Her father and stepmother did not want her for a while, but they finally worked something out.

As a child
When Annabeth was five, her father re-married. He and his wife had two kids together, Matthew and Bobby. Because Annabeth was a demigod, their family was constantly being attacked by monsters. Annabeth felt that her step-mom thought that she was a freak, so she ran away from home at the age of seven. She believed that she was not wanted at home, always feeling outcasted. She then fought monsters with the guidance of her mother, Athena, for a few months. Annabeth was later found by Luke and Thalia. When they found her,the only thing she had to defend herself with was a hammer. After they found her they traveled to many places together until they finally went to Camp Half-Blood. She always never wanted to go back home and considers Camp Half-Blood her home since she has lived there for most of her life.

Meeting Thalia Grace and Luke Castellan
Annabeth was hiding under a sheet of corrugated iron in Richmond Ironworks in the same alley Thalia Grace and Luke Castellan were hiding in. Thalia and Luke heard a noise coming from it, thinking it was a monster, they removed it, and Annabeth ran towards Luke with a hammer and almost hit him with it. Upon finding that Annabeth was a demigod, Luke and Thalia agreed that she could run away with them and Luke promised that he wouldn't let anything hurt her, but later in the series, Luke betrays her because Kronos was controlling him. Luke gave Annabeth a bronze knife so she would be able to protect herself. Together, they were on the run, fighting monsters and making hideouts on the East coast, like the one Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson used in Jamestown, Virginia.

The Cyclops
Eventually, they ran into Grover, a satyr, who took them to camp, but took some wrong turns on the way. One of these was into a Cyclops's lair, and everyone but Annabeth was captured. Annabeth, after wandering around, found where they were keeping Thalia and Luke. They were hanging over a pot. The Cyclops tried to lure Annabeth to him by imitating her dad's voice, but instead of going to the voice and getting captured as well, she stabbed it hard on the foot and untied Thalia, who then took care of everything else. This is the reason Annabeth doesn't take too kindly to Tyson (who thinks she is very pretty). He is Percy's half-brother who, evidently, is a cyclops.

Thalia's Pine Tree
Despite their escape, they were delayed long enough for the pack of monsters chasing them to catch up. They couldn't outrun them, so Thalia made the ultimate sacrifice; she elected to stay behind so they could make it safely to Half-Blood Hill. It is unknown whether she actually fought the monsters or not, but she most likely fought them and was mortally wounded. Zeus, feeling sorry for his daughter, saved her life by turning her into a pine tree, later renamed Thalia's Pine Tree. This tree became a barrier for the camp against monsters and mortals unless they were invited over the barrier by someone from inside the camp.

Hearing the Prophecy
When Annabeth was 10 years old, she heard the Great Prophecy. She has had nightmares about it ever since. Every time a new camper came to Camp Half-Blood, Annabeth wondered if they were "the one" because Chiron told her that she would have a part to play in the Great Prophecy.

The Lightning Thief
Annabeth first appears in The Lightning Thief at age twelve. She initially was nicknamed "Wise Girl" and she sometimes calls Percy "Seaweed Brain" instead of his actual name. She first met Percy Jackson after he was attacked by the Minotaur while fighting his way to the top of Half-Blood Hill, the entrance to Camp Half-Blood. While he is recovering from his battle wounds, she fed him ambrosia and nectar, food and drink of the Gods, in the Big House. The first words she spoke to him were, "You drool when you sleep," though this was once he was conscious, having earlier asked him about the Summer solstice when feeding him ambrosia. Afterward, she is very hostile toward him, but when she hears that he is to go on quest, she wants to go along, thinking Percy is "the one" from Chiron's prophecy. Together, Annabeth, Percy, and Grover go in search of Zeus's lightning bolt because Zeus thinks that Percy stole it. Throughout the book, Annabeth showed her unique intelligence, which she inherited from her mother, Athena, as well as her arachnophobia that she shares with all of her siblings on her mother's side (originating from the story of Arachne and Athena). At the end of the book, Annabeth is deeply hurt by Luke's betrayal.



The Sea of Monsters
In The Sea of Monsters, Annabeth returned once again to help Percy save the camp, though this time as friends, the previous tension between them as a result of their parentage was resolved by Percy's offer to put their differences aside. Together, they journeyed to the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece, which was essential in the effort to save Thalia's tree at Half-Blood Hill, thereby preserving the magical barrier to monsters around the Camp. A secondary goal (though not to Percy) was to save Grover from Polyphemus, a huge cyclops, who had used the Golden Fleece to lure in unsuspecting satyrs searching for the long lost Pan. Her feelings for Percy first emerge when she quickly hugs Percy after saving him by giving him Hermes' vitamins. Annabeth hears the Sirens' song while on the boat, and although she'd convinced Percy to tie her to the mast, he forgot to disarm her (celestial bronze knife) and she got hypnotized by the song. It is confirmed that her fatal flaw is hubris, being a child of Athena. She learned to accept Tyson, Percy's young Cyclops brother, overcoming a "bad experience" with a cyclops she had encountered in the past. When the fivesome, as they joined up with Clarisse (daughter of Ares), returned back to camp, Annabeth and Percy teamed up to win the chariot race waged between the cabins of the Camp. Following their victory, Annabeth's perpetual facade of calm cracked slightly when she kissed Percy on the cheek.

The Titan's Curse
In The Titan's Curse, Annabeth was kidnapped after a battle with Dr. Thorn, a Manticore, and was later forced to take the weight of the sky for the Titan General, Atlas. Percy then had a dream about Annabeth being tortured by Luke, forcing the goddess Artemis to help her, and Luke carrying Annabeth's lifeless and crumpled body away. The Oracle of Delphi gave one of her ever-cryptic prophecies, and off went Percy, Thalia, Grover, Bianca di Angelo (a young girl whom Percy, Annabeth and Thalia were attempting to recruit along with her brother Nico when Annabeth was taken) and the Huntress, Zoë Nightshade, in pursuit of Artemis and Annabeth and the monster which Artemis was chasing after. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, convinced Percy that his love for Annabeth was worthwhile, though she also made it incredibly harder for them to fall in love. Though Percy was originally not included in the quest, Nico di Angelo pleaded to him and convinced him to follow them to protect his sister, Bianca di Angelo. He was seemingly unable to leave the fate of his best friend in the hands of others. After a prolonged quest, which included the loss of Bianca di Angelo in the Junkyard of the Gods battle to a prototype of Talos made by the forge god Hephaestus, the group arrived at the ruins of the Titans' palace, Mount Othrys in San Francisco, California, and found Annabeth, with a grey streak in her hair as a result of lifting the sky; and Artemis, who was struggling under the weight of the sky; both captives of Luke and Atlas. Upon the reimprisonment of the Titan General Atlas, the death of Zoë Nightshade, and the apparent death of Luke (or so they thought except Annabeth), Annabeth was saved by Percy and the others, along with her mortal father, who attacked the monsters chasing the group using the celestial bronze bullets that he had made from things Annabeth had left behind when she ran away from home. Also, Annabeth's stepmom shows care for Annabeth in this book when she tells Percy that even though she knows that Annabeth is a demigod and cannot live in San Francisco because of Mount Orthys, the Titan base camp.

The Battle of the Labyrinth
In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth is now 14 years old. She and Percy were supposed to go to the movies after his orientation day into his new school, Goode. However, their plans are interruped when Percy (again) blows up part of the school in a fight with some monsters, Kelli and Tammi, who were apparently empousai in the forms of cheerleaders. Her protectiveness of Percy is revealed when she becomes annoyed at him after she finds him escaping with the mortal girl Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She has a fight with Percy and refuses to speak to him for a while. Once back at camp, Percy and Annabeth accidentally discover an entrance to the Labyrinth under the rock pile known as Zeus's Fist while on a camp game designed personally by Quintus who was actually Daedalus, the inventor and the creator of the Labyrinth. She realises that Luke can use this entrance to invade the camp at any moment unexpected. Annabeth leads the quest into the Labyrinth, fulfilling one of her many ambitions at last. While studying the Labyrinth, Percy walks in on her. Annabeth was frustrated and held out her arms so Percy can give her a hug. He remarks that her hair smelled like lemon soap. Further later, Annabeth descends into the Labyrinth with Percy, Grover, and Tyson (Percy's half brother and a very good cyclops) to find a way to stop Kronos's evil forces from invading the borders of Camp Half-Blood by searching for its inventor, Daedalus. The Oracle of Delphi gave her a prophecy which appears to have scared her and she refuses to say the last line. As they go into the Labyrinth, they face and fight many monsters. Annabeth faces a Sphinx and finds its riddles (which were actually factual questions) not challenging and an insult to her intellect. They escape the claws of the Sphinx and continue on to find Hephaestus in one of his many forges so he can tell them about where to find Daedalus and his workshop in the Labyrinth. Annabeth believes that Percy will die when Mount Saint Helens erupts but right before he goes in she kisses him for good luck. Percy was instead marooned on the phantom island of Ogygia when he tried his best to fight the telekhines, half-dog half-monsters, who were perpentrating Hephaestus's once favorite forge of all of his many forges, where the sad but seductive Calypso resides. When she sees Percy returns (while she is burning his shroud, believing him to be dead) she hugs him fiercely, scolding him; but quickly lets go when she realizes she is making a big scene in front of all the other campers. While she finds out what happened to Percy after he tells her and Chiron in Chiron's office in the Big House, Annabeth angrily exits after hearing where he was stranded and obviously feeling jealous. Percy asks mortal Rachel Elizabeth Dare, (much to Annabeth's dismay but later she relents and becomes what it seems to be a friendship to Rachel and it looks like it doesn't seem one until The Last Olympian when Annabeth saves Rachel from an almost close death during the Battle of Manhattan) to help them on their way through the labyrinth, and the three of them discover Luke, who has become Kronos's vessel. After the Battle of the Labyrinth from the entrance of the Labyrinth under Zeus's Fist in the woods, Luke and his army are forced back into the Labyrinth, leaving after causing two casualties.

The Last Olympian
In The Last Olympian, Annabeth joins forces with the campers and goes to New York City to save Manhattan and Mount Olympus (over the Empire State Building) itself from Kronos' Titan army in the Battle of Manhattan. At one point, she takes a poisoned knife for Percy, that Ethan Nakamura was using to try to stab him. Even though she doesn't know Percy was invincible, Annabeth jumps in the way and takes the stab, defenseless. It is later revealed that if she hadn't taken the dagger for Percy, he would have died, because his only weak spot, the small of his back, was Ethan's target though how Ethan knew about the weak spot it was probably the goddess of revenge and balance, Nemesis, who somehow discovered it. Percy gets Blackjack, his black pegasus, to fly her away, takes Kronos on, and is forced to retreat. When Percy checks on Annabeth, he decides to tell her where his Achilles ankle is. Annabeth is the only person that knows where it is besides Percy. While Annabeth is resting because of the poisoned knife, she tells Percy that Luke had visited her before they went into the Labyrinth, explaining why Hermes, the messager of the gods, the patron of thieves, and others, was mad at her for not saving Luke when she had the chance to, and she also states that Percy looks "cute" when he is worried. She saves Percy and Olympus by finally realizing for whom the prophecy is truly meant for: Luke. She tells Percy to give Luke her knife (that was Luke's gift to her when she was seven) so he can stab himself, which would banish Kronos back to Tartarus though there is no evidence to where the spirit of Kronos went to after Luke sacrificed himself since they were up high above Manhattan in the Hall of the Gods in the Olympian gods' throne room on Olympus. Annabeth is rewarded by the gods (actually by her own mother Athena), now being able to fulfill her dreams and design for the gods a new city on Olympus, as the old one was ruined by the battle (actually destroyed by Kronos when he invaded Olympus through the Empire State Building entrance to Olympus. She is also allowed to design the new cabins at Camp Half-Blood. She and Percy celebrate his 16th birthday privately, in the apparently empty dining pavilion of Camp Half-Blood. Percy attempts to tell her that he has strong feelings for her, but she is amused, up until the point he states that she is not making it easy for him to admit it. She laughs and warns him that she will never, ever make things easy for him, and that he should get used to it,wraps her arms around his neck, and kissed him. Percy said that it felt like his brain was melting through his body, and that he could have stayed like that forever, until Clarisse and several other nosy campers eavesdrop on the whole episode and throw Percy and Annabeth into the camp lake hoping they would rise up out of the lake water and kiss in front of them. However, Percy creates an air bubble deep under the surface of the lake, because he is a son of Poseidon, and they share, as Percy describes "the best underwater kiss of all time". In the end of The Last Olympian, Percy is relieved that Annabeth is staying in New York and they leave Camp Half-Blood together.

The Lost Hero
In the beginning of The Lost Hero, Annabeth appears in a chariot with Butch, a demigod son of Iris, the carrier of messages through rainbow "Iris-messages" for the gods and the rainbow goddess, to pick up the three demigods Jason Grace, son of Jupiter (Zeus's Roman counterpart), Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, goddess of Love, Passion, and Beauty, and Leo Valdez, the son of the forge god, Hephaestus. It is revealed she and Percy are still dating. Annabeth and a son of Iris named Butch, went to the Grand Canyon in search for Percy, who has been missing for three days. Annabeth had been getting visions from Hera, the goddess of marriage, the Queen of Heaven and the sister-wife of Zeus, that a hero with one shoe, which she finds out is Jason, will solve her problems, which is finding Percy. She is also shown frustrated and worried with Percy's disappearance. Before leaving the Grand Canyon, Annabeth yells to the sky, "What do you want from me? What have you done with him?"

Annabeth gives Piper a tour of Camp Half-Blood, also leting Piper choose her weapon Katoptris,Then explaining that Piper's relationship with Jason at The Wilderness School was an illusion due to the Mist and wanting to give Piper a chance to break down privately when she realized the same thing. Though she has been holding herself together as well, it is obvious that Annabeth is equally crushed at losing Percy so mysteriously.

When Jason is given his quest to rescue Hera from the capture of Polyphrion the giant, Annabeth refuses to accompany the quest group, partly because the prophecy states that children of Hephaestus, Jupiter/Zeus, and Aphrodite will go instead, and partly out of her own distaste for Hera. Instead, she uses the time they are gone to continue her search for Percy.

After the quest group returns and relates their findings — the rise of the giants, the attempted return of Gaea, and the fact that Jason was "exchanged" to the Greek Camp Half-Blood — Annabeth puts everything together and realizes, as Jason has, that Percy has been taken to the Roman Camp Half-Blood as the corresponding half of the exchange. She vows to accompany Jason, Piper, and Leo when they journey there to retrieve him.

Personality
Annabeth is a brave and independent, and a very, very smart person. She loves architecture, and spends her free time designing new buildings and visiting national monuments. Her fatal flaw is pride, or hubris: she thinks she can do anything and do it well, even better than the gods. Percy gains insight into this flaw during The Sea of Monsters, when he sees Annabeth's vision as she listens to the song of the Sirens.

Annabeth can be very possessive of the boys she loves, but also frustrated and confused by their behavior. She once considered joining the Hunters of Artemis, but eventually reconsidered, though she still thinks that Artemis is the wisest of the gods besides her mom, but thinks Artermis doesn't understand men. Annabeth is also afraid to lose Percy to another girl like Rachel or Calypso. For example, in the Battle of the Labyrinth, after she says,"He was probably the bravest friend I ever had", Annabeth finds out about Calypso and then calls him the "single most annoying person I've ever met!"

Fatal Flaw
Hubris, or deadly pride. Annabeth believes that she's able to do anything: get her parents back together, build great monuments, and save Luke as shown in The Sea of Monsters. She sometimes even thinks she could rebuild the world, even better than how the gods did it. She explains this to Percy in The Sea of Monsters, while trying to escape sirens.

Fears
Like all other half-blood children of Athena, Annabeth has immense arachnophobia, freezing up just when she sees one or anything that bears a close resemblance to spiders. This fear is because of Athena's bad history with Arachne the mother of spiders and Arachne's hatred of Athena. A long time ago, the mortal Arachne challenged Athena to see who could make the best tapestry. Athena accepted the challenge, and the two both made a tapestry. Athena's tapestry was of the gods punishing mortals for being too full of pride. Arachne's tapestry insulted the gods by showing them being idiots. Athena destroyed the tapestry out of rage because her and Arachne's tapestry was insulting the Gods immensely (and maybe also because her tapestry and Arachne's tapestry were equal in beauty), and Arachne was then turned into a spider. Ironically, Arachne could still use the web from her spinnerets to make silk. Ever since then, Athena's children have been paranoid that every spider they see is out to get them - which is largely true. According to Annabeth, spiders are unusually aggressive to children of Athena. Also, in The Demigod Files, you can see what is inside her trunk, which has a bottle of anti-spider bug spray. In the Lightning Thief, Percy says that she was "screaming her head off" when they were in the Tunnel of Love ride to get Ares's shield. In the Lightning Thief, Annabeth stated that every spider within several miles would come after her (or any other child of Athena).

Physical Description
Annabeth has blond hair that is curled like a princess's. Percy said she "looked like a princess", and had typical California girl looks, except for her stormy gray eyes that Percy claimed to make her looks like she was analyzing whoever she was looking at during a first meeting, as if thinking of the best way to take the person down in a fight. She has tanned skin and looks very athletic. Annabeth has been described by Percy to become seriously beautiful as the years went by. She often wears a ponytail, her magical Yankee cap, and/or her orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt. Percy Jackson once claimed in The Demigod Files that full Greek armor isn't the most fashionable thing but with her curly ponytail off to one side he said Annabeth made it look good.

Love Interests
A key subplot in the series is the relationship between Annabeth, Percy, and Luke Castellan. Luke is Annabeth's hero and one of her first half-blood friends. Annabeth likes Percy, which she hints at, but she still has lingering feelings of kinship towards Luke. At the end of The Last Olympian, Luke shows slight feelings for her, like an older brother. These feeling are present despite the fact that Luke and Percy are arch enemies and he has attempted to kill Percy numerous times.



In The Sea of Monsters, it emerges that one of her life's wishes is to save Luke. In the beginning of The Lightning Thief, Annabeth is shown to dislike Percy when she discovers that Percy is the hero of the prophecy. She thinks he is weak, and is influenced by the rivalry between her mother, Athena, and Percy's father, Poseidon. At the very end of The Sea of Monsters, Annabeth kisses Percy on the cheek after winning the chariot race.

In The Titan's Curse, there are suggestions of some romance between Annabeth and Percy, although this is complicated by her continuing belief in Luke and the fact that her mother, Athena, disapproves of her "relationship" with Percy and tells Percy this face to face after she voted him to live. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth finally expresses her feelings for Percy by kissing him good luck before he vanishes using her magic Yankee's cap. When Percy returns, she is highly jealous, because she suspects he has been with Calypso, who is cursed to fall in love with any hero that lands on her phantom island, Ogygia.

In The Demigod Files, Annabeth asked Percy to the Fourth of July fireworks which is the most romantic dating event of the summer. During her interview Annabeth states that Percy is courageous, has a sense of humor and is good-looking. She also says that he's oblivious to how people feel even when it is really obvious, although she tries to hide what she is really talking about.

In The Last Olympian, after the defeat of Kronos and the saving of Luke's soul, the romantic relationship between Percy and Annabeth is solidified. Annabeth also states Percy looks 'cute when he's worried' when he first checks on her after she took a knife that was meant for him. Annabeth confides to Luke as he dies that she always saw him as a brother, but never loved him. When he was offered immortality by the Olympians (actually by Zeus himself and voted for by the rest of the gods), Percy saw that Annabeth was very pale, and he suspected she was having a panic similar to the one he had when he thought she was going to join the Hunters of Artemis. Later, she and Percy share their third kiss after he tries to tell her how he feels about her and tells him that she will never, ever make things easy for him. He describes it as if 'his brain felt it was melting through his body'. But, nosy campers snoop on this and throw them into the camp lake. Then comes to a fourth kiss underwater in an air bubble made by Percy under the surface of the lake who says it was 'the best underwater kiss of all time'. They are together as of the end of the Percy Jackson series. It is hinted that they might be married one day in the future, as Annabeth said she wanted "to build something permanent", and Percy states that maybe they were "getting a good start together". Percy was her first kiss.

In The Lost Hero, it is said that Percy and Annabeth are still dating. Percy goes missing for three days and Annabeth becomes very worried. Annabeth starts getting visions that telling her to go to the Grand Canyon to find someone with one shoe. Annabeth thought that person would be Percy, her boyfriend, but instead it was Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, Zeus's Roman counterpart. She gets mad at him, because she wants to find Percy instead. She yells at the sky saying," What do you want from me? What have you done with him?" At the end of the book, it is revealed that Percy and Jason are switched because they are both war leaders of each camp, much to Annabeth's dismay. She says that she will join Jason, Piper, and Leo on their next quest to go to the Roman Camp Half-Blood to look for Percy and find the other possible demigods (the Roman ones who should be on the quest to cooperate with the Greek demigods against the Giants and the earth goddess Gaia on the War against the Giants and Gaea) to save the Olympian gods' original home of Mount Olympus, the actual mountain sitting in Greece and the Olympian gods' elder roots.

Thalia
Annabeth has a close relationship with Thalia, first meeting her when she was seven and had run away from home. After Thalia sacrificed herself, to save her, Luke, and Grover her respect grew. Thalia returned with the magical powers of The Golden Fleece and Annabeth reestablished their close friendship.

Grover
Grover was one of Annabeth's closest friends, helping her get to Camp Half-Blood. They remained friends throughout their relationship, and fought together often.

Luke
Despite Annabeth's lingering feelings, in The Last Olympian, she admitted she only loved Luke as a brother.

Rachel
Annabeth held a fierce rivalry with Rachel over Percy, and has saved her life more than once. After Rachel became the Oracle, and is no longer interested in Percy, the two have reconciled and have become good friends.

Mortal Family
Annabeth has had several issues with her mortal family. After her dad remarried, she grew distant from him. She often ran away from home, and succeeded in doing so when she was seven, joining Luke and Thalia. After some time, she reestablished contact, and occasionally met with them. They tried to make it work several times, with something going wrong most of the time. Around The Titan's Curse, it seems her relationship with them is getting better, and by The Last Olympian she seems to be living with them again.

Athena
Annabeth has a close relationship with her mother, despite meeting her very little. Her mother trusts her and seems to see her as her pride. They seem to discuss many things and have a set of plans in preparation for any catastrophe. Athena made Annabeth, the new architect of Olympus after the damage from The Battle of Manhattan. She disapproves of her relationship with Percy, but seems to have accepted it, though reluctantly.

Other Immortals
Dionysus - Dionysus often got Annabeth's name wrong, and seemed to care very little for her, despite being her camp director as well as her uncle.

Artemis - Annabeth respects Artemis, and one point Annabeth had considered joining the hunt but decided against it. Artemis does not seem to hold ill will to her from this choice, however.

Poseidon - Annabeth hasn't spoken to Poseidon directly, but unlike Athena, Posiedon has not shown any ill will to his son's relationship with her.

Kronos - Kronos, her great-grandfather, was one of Annabeth's main enemies. She helped fight him, along with her friends, and in the end was largely responsible for his destruction.

The Hunters of Artemis
Annabeth was very close to joining the Hunters when she was a kid. This is known when Grover finds a brochure about the Hunt in her backpack, and Thalia states: "Annabeth wanted to join the Hunters." Maybe you should think about why." Another possible hint was when Percy and Annabeth were dancing in the military school, they are talking about her problems of moving to San Francisco. She says, "It's more serious than that. Percy I...I should probably tell you something." This could possibly mean that she was going to join the hunt to escape monsters and her problems. But in the end, she decides against it, and in her interview in The Demigod Files, when asked about what other god she thought on the Olympian council was wise, she begins talking about Artemis. She says, "She doesn't understand guys, though. I guess nobody's perfect."

Film


In the film The Lightning Thief, Annabeth is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario.

In the film, Annabeth is seen at Camp Half-Blood after Percy's battle with the Minotaur, fighting several campers at once and beating them all during a camp tradition of Capture the Flag. She later takes on Percy during a game of Capture the Flag and very easily defeats him, until he goes to the water (the camp stream) to heal himself, which he then proceeds to fight her more forcefully and successfully disarms her. Later, Annabeth decides to go on the quest with Percy and Grover. Medusa specifically wants to kill her because her mother, Athena, cursed her. Grover saves Annabeth while Percy distracts Medusa; she drives the car that knocks Medusa to the ground to give Percy time to escape and slay her with his celestial bronze sword, Riptide. Then, after the encounter with Medusa in which Percy uses Grover's sweater to cover her still undead glazing eyes that paralyze people, Percy and Annabeth are sitting next to the pool at night before assaulting the replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee, discussing things about their parents.



They are about to kiss (seen in movie trailers) but Grover interrupts them. So, in the movie, Annabeth and Percy are much more affectionate towards each other than their counterparts in the books. Annabeth went with Percy to the Underworld along with Grover and Mount Olympus and sees Luke's betrayal for herself. On Olympus, Annabeth meets her mother for the first time. It is assume that was one of her life-long wishes. She is a formidable fighter and shows her book counterpart's ability to react to events that happened in Greek mythology, such as warning Percy about the Hydra in the fight against the Hydra (which was in the guise of the replica Parthenon's janitors) and the story of Hercules and Hermes going to the Underworld.

Trivia

 * Although Annabeth is said to have a streak of grey in her hair as of The Titan's Curse due to having taken the weight of the sky from Atlas, throughout the rest of the series this is not mentioned once, and in The Lost Hero, Jason doesn't mention it either.
 * Unlike most demigods, Annabeth fights better with a knife than a sword.
 * In the books, Annabeth has curly blonde hair but in the movie, she has straight brown hair.
 * Her first name, 'Annabeth' is an anagram of 'Athena' with a few extra letters, a naming convention she shares with Clarisse (daughter of Ares).
 * Annabeth and Percy's partnership mirrors the creation of the chariot - Athena made the body of the chariot, and Poseidon created the horse as a creature to supply the muscle to make it move. Likewise, Annabeth is usually the one who comes up with the plan and Percy is the one who supplies the strength to make it work, even though sometimes this is reversed.
 * Annabeth is extremely touchy about people messing with her stuff. Percy made a joke that she has her knife reserved for two uses: monsters, and people who touch her things.
 * She is quite good at archery: her half-brother Malcolm told her one time that she had "Master's Archery class" with Chiron while she was in their cabin with Percy.
 * Her invisible Yankees baseball cap has a close resemblance with Hades' helm of invisibility.
