She was annoying as all hell in the original series, and got infinitely better in Mark of Athena.

She was whiny, bitchy and incredibly weak in the original series, and had to be saved at every corner. She was the typical damsel in distress pretending to be a tough girl.

The best in HoO are Reyna and Nico.

The worst is probably Jason. I know right?!? Annabeth rant INCOMING!! So yeah Annabeth was cancer in PJO. Her whining, her jealousy, her discriminating Tyson, and getting mad at Percy for basically no reason at all. I know there is going to be people out there saying that Annabeth had a dark backstory with Cyclops so her resentment of Tyson makes sense. Fine! But hold up for a sec, did Annabeth even TRY to hide her resentment of Tyson. . . no she didn't, she just let it all out on him. Not to mention Tyson was basically a child at the time, but Annabeth knew that, and still was being extremely rude to him. Poor Tyson. Also, don't forget her resentment over Rachel. . . oh my god. . . Annabeth was such a headache in that book. Calling Rachel names, underrating her, and being a pain in the neck, and I can't forget how out of character Percy was in those parts, jeez for someone who's fatal flaw is loyalty, you'd think that he would have tried harder to stand up for Rachel, because yeah. . . admit it, Rachel was basically getting bullied by Annabeth. Don't forget that Annabeth was such a pain in the a** for Percy that the fact that those two got together baffles me.

Let's face the facts guys. . . Annabeth wasn't a child of Athena in PJO. . . she was a petty child of Aphrodite basically. Also, like Rhaeroga said, she was a damsel in distress trying to act like a tough girl. PJO Annabeth was more annoying than HoO Piper in  my opinion, and heck at least Piper is a child of Aphrodite so she gets some excuse, but Annabeth is a child of a WARRIOR GODDESS and she was acting more like an Aphrodite girl than Piper was.

HoO Piper >>>>> PJO Annabeth
