Which character in the riordanverse had the most traumatic childhood
Although I think if I were to choose any childhood I wouldn't want ever I'd start with Meg. She's twelve years old for heaven's sake, and throughout her entire childhood she was mentally scarred. Her dad died by "the Beast", aka someone she believed in all her life and Nero used it to blackmail/threaten her with "his conscience" and after that she was taken in by him she was
forced to murder, forced to join into his sadistic ways, she didn't have any friends or supporters, she was manipulated into knowing that if she didn't do everything the Beast wanted she would be responsible for everything that happened after, and every time she acted out against his wishes she secretly knew she would get severe punishment with the looming threat of the Beast, which would kill everything and everyone she loved and that it would affect her and "Nero" for the rest of their lives. Her friend Lu was forced to get her hands cut off.
She's the strongest person I know.

I thought it was hearthsone
@Lulefti1234 I agree, he had a TERRIBLE childhood with his father
Alex and Hearthstone. Nothing further needed.
I'd say Reyna, her father was super paranoid and her house was destroyed by ghosts (i think, i havent read the book that explains it in a while) and then she was taken to CC's spa where she worked for a while as a freaking barbie doll but then Percy and Annabeth freed the pirates, she was kidnapped and finally she learned to wield a sword because of her being a child of Bellona but i'd also say meg since her father died early and then she was taken to nero's place for a long time
I mean... Annabeth, Leo, Luke, Hazel. Pretty much take your pick of any characters he has ever written about
Literally everyone had a traumatic past
PJO/HoO
Hazel: She DIED
Frank: He had his lifeline tied to a stick
Jason: Hera 'claimed' him
Leo: His mom died
Annabeth: She ran away from home at age 7 and lost Thalia. Then Luke became a traitor.
Piper: She had to deal with her dad's fame
Thalia: Jason was taken from her and she turned into a pine tree
Reyna: She lived without a partner her entire life and had only her sister as family; her dad was abusive, too
MCGA:
Magnus: His mom died
Alex: Her/His dad was abusive and Loki was 'parenting' him/her
Hearth: Don't even get me started
Blitz: His dad died and Eitri Jr. held a grudge against him
Mallory: Loki got her killed
T.J: He couldn't resist the challenge, thus getting him killed
Halfborn: He left his mom behind and never saw her again
Sam: Her mom died and she was a Valkyrie while trying to have a normal life
TKC:
Carter and Sadie: Lived apart from each other most of their lives
Zia: Her village was destroyed, Iskandar died, and she was hosted by Nephthys and put in a tomb for a long time
Walt: Lived with a death curse his entire life
ToA:
Meg: Her dad died, and Nero was abusive (and also her father's muderer)
That's all I have sorry it was long
