Just wondering, peanutbutter, why do you find Jason unoriginal? I must say that he seems like a chip off of Percy, being the son of the eldest gods, and being courageous and good-looking, but is that what got to you? Nico di Angelo at least has his goth loner thing going.
I quite like Reyna, actually, there's this part in Son of Neptune where the fifth cohort won the war games and she was smiling or something, that made me warm up to her.

Maybe unoriginal isn't the right word. I mean, he's a good fighter and obviously good-looking, but Percy has his sense of humor and the laid back thing going on. Jason isn't really all that funny and he seems a little up-tight. Yeah, he has his moments where he'll make me laugh every once in a while. I know that's probably because he's Roman and he's trained to be like that, but it's just a little boring to me. As for Reyna, she isn't one of those characters that I absolutely can't stand like Octavian, she just isn't my favorite. I might warm up to them when I know more about them, but Rick doesn't give us a whole lot of background. I like the characters that can be goofy like Leo, Grover, and Tyson. It's probably just because I miss the first series so much and Jason and Reyna are basically the Roman versions of Percy and Annabeth, so I feel like I should defend them. I know, that's kind of weird but I'm a girl and I have many emotions. Anyway, thanks for asking me a question because it made me feel all fuzzy inside!! ;D

Haha the only reason why I thought Reyna was the Roman version of Annabeth was because her mother was Bellona, Roman goddess of war or something. But then Reyna just seems too forward (like when she told Percy she could be a colleague or something more). And awww it was good to receive a reply from you. I wish this forum was more populated. It's so quiet around here. Wonder if there're any other Percy Jackson forums which are actually lively?

I know! It's like a ghost town up in here! I like talking here because I can blab all I want without my friends looking at me like I'm crazy! There needs to be more peooople! I was going for Jason and Reyna being Roman versions of Percy and Annabeth because they're both the leaders. And I'm getting annoyed because every time I type in "Annabeth" my computer underlines it with the red squiggly line! But oh my goodness the Demigod Diaries are sooo close! I'm so excited!!!! Weee! ;D ;D ;D

Right! When do the Demigod Diaries come out??? I keep searching longingly through the Rick Riordan altar that my local bookstore has, only to disappoint myself when I find only the Demigod Files.
I guess I can see what you mean by Jason and Reyna being the Roman equivalents of Percy and Annabeth respectively... Reyna is like a humour-less and more... I dunno, seductive version of Annabeth? I think her proposition to Percy about being more than a friend was kinda sleazy haha! Probably because she found him too good-looking to pass up. ^^

I love Leo, but I hope Rick doesn't make another love triangle out of Frank/Hazel/Leo. Frank really likes Hazel, and it seems mutual. I'm really hoping Leo is just Sammy's grandson and Hazel is just paranoid. I'm actually kind of hoping Leo stays single. There are already soo many couples going on the quest in the first place. I actually like Frazel and I love Percabeth, but I'm not too sure about this whole Piper/Jason/Reyna thing. I don't really like Jason, he's just kind of unoriginal...maybe it's just me? Reyna's kind of...I don't know how to say it...cold? There's just something that makes me not like her. Piper's pretty cool, though. I'm just about to burst waiting on MoA to come out! This Leo/Sammy thing is giving me a headache... I totally agree. Piper was cool in the beginning and.now she's... Shallow, conceited, etc. Jason is just boring! I.actually find Reyna interesting and she reminds me of Annabeth. They are very similar.
