Why does the story about thalia

Wiki User. The story about Thalia makes Percy feel guilty and hollow because she was his age and she did so much more than him and he wonders if he can ever do the same.

She gave up her life to save her friends which can make anyone feel like that, even more so for a 12 year old. Thalia can opt to leave the hunters. This answer came from the Percy Jackson Wikia. Thalia's last name is Grace. Thalia is Paloma Kwiatkowski. No she isn't. Thalia Grace's birthday is December 22nd, No, Percy Jackson was actually the son of Poseidon.

His friend Thalia, however, was Zeus's daughter. Yes, Thalia will come in the second book, but only at the end. Thailia grace. Yes and no. Sometimes Thalia and Percy will have an argument here and there, but it is not all that bad. So, I would say yes. Thalia was not cast for the Lightning Thief, and it has not been confirmed who is playing her for the Sea of Monsters.

Thalia - Hunter of Artimis. Thalia Grace. Thalia Grace from Percy Jackson and the Olympian's middle name has never been revealed. Not best friends, but good friends. He went on a quest for the golden fleece. Yes, Thalia will be in the next book. I e-mailed Rick Riordan, and asked him, he said that we will see Thalia again. Your Welcome! After Piper collapsed, Thalia recognized that it was hypothermia and asked if Coach Hedge knew nature healing, and Thalia glared at Leo for having an incompetent satyr.

Thalia then ordered Phoebe to take Hedge and Piper to be healed while she stayed with Jason. Jason, Leo, and Thalia didn't talk for a few minutes, with Thalia not happy with Leo sticking around. Thalia became even more annoyed with Leo if he asked her if her whole "not dating thing" was always or more of a seasonal thing, attracted to her.

Thalia glared at Leo and looked at him like he was pond scum, making Leo like her even more. Jason apologized for Leo and explained his situation to Thalia. She cursed in Ancient Greek when Jason mentioned Midas.

After Thalia realized Jason didn't remember his past, Thalia explained to Jason what happened to their mother, and how he went missing. After Jason mentioned the Roman things he did, Thalia mentioned how Zeus spoke Latin the next time he came, and said Jason may be a Roman demigod. When Thalia learned there were others like Jason, she was shocked and said even though she had been all over the country, she never knew about that and said she must talk to Artemis about it.

Thalia explained that Artemis was the one who sent her to fight Lycaon and is still talking to her, though she is secretive about it so Zeus doesn't find out, and she mentioned how finding Lycaon would help her find Percy. Thalia then decided that she would take the quartet to see Aeolus , and said that she could spare a few minutes with Jason before he got annoying. Thalia rejoins Piper, Hedge, and Phoebe, and gives Leo and Jason some warm clothes and hot chocolate after Leo insisted. Thalia asked Piper if she was alright, and after she said she feels like she can run ten miles, Thalia pats Piper on the back and says she likes the daughter of Aphrodite , since she is tough.

Thalia ignored Leo yet again when he tried to flirt. Thalia led them to Aeolus's palace, and explained how the mist covered up the palace. After Jason said that the palace was huge, Thalia laughed and said he should see Olympus. Thalia was shocked when she found out Jason could fly, since she never tried. They go on the bridge, and Thalia orders Phoebe to go with the other Hunters.

While climbing the bridge, Thalia realized that Jason was the clue Artemis gave her after Leo realized Jason came from another camp. Thalia freaked out when she found out Hera was in the Wolf House , and told Jason that she and the Hunters would hold the Wolf House so they could save Tristan McLean , and promised that they would meet him there.

The next day, after defeating Enceladus , Thalia sent the quartet an Iris Message. Thalia said that she found Hera and that they've been holding down the Wolf House, but they cannot hold the Giants forces off forever and tells Jason to come quickly.

Thalia says that Porphyrion is rising and told him that he would find the Wolf House by remembering his last trip. The quartet was greeted by Thalia when they made it to the Wolf House. Thalia defeated an Earthborn as soon as they arrived and her arrow broke, much to her frustration.

Leo complimented her on her shot, which Thalia ignored, as usual. Thalia hugged Jason and gave Piper a nod, and said that they didn't have much time, since the house is overrun by Venti, Wolves, and Earthborns. She said that a freak snowstorm came and the house became overrun by monsters.

She and her Hunters tried to free Hera, but they couldn't figure out how to break the cage. When they arrived at the cage, Thalia mentioned that her heart wasn't in freeing her and that she wanted to leave her there.

Hera threatened Thalia, and Thalia yelled at Hera for everything she had done to Annabeth, Jason, and her, and said she should just leave her to Gaea. Jason intervened and told her to stop, and Thalia agreed, but only for Jason's sake.

Thalia then stormed out of the Wolf House. Thalia returned after Jason was fatally injured and sat by Piper, her hand on Jason's forehead. Thalia yelled at Hera and said it was her fault, telling her to do something about Jason. Hera told her to not address her that way and Thalia yelled at her to fix him.

After Jason woke up, Thalia was relieved and asked Jason how he felt. After Jason said he saw something really terrible, Thalia joked that it was Hera, the loose cannon, and Hera finally snapped and threatened to turn Thalia into an aardvark. They both stopped arguing after Piper told them to stop. Piper told Thalia and Hera to stop arguing and that Thalia would've never found Jason if not for Hera. Thalia grunted and said that Piper had spirit, and gave her a Hunters business card, saying she could use her as a Hunter.

After Hera explained things to them, Thalia said that she had to find Annabeth to explain things to her. Jason was hesitant about her leaving but Thalia said that she would never lose him again and that she will meet him back at Camp Half-Blood. She then ordered Hera to bring them back safely. Thalia then hugged Jason and left. Thalia ended up not being able to meet them at Camp, though Chiron reassured Jason to not take it personally, and Hunters plans change a lot.

Piper also burned the business card Thalia gave her, for Jason. There are two parts in which she is either mentioned or appeared. Tam going against Atlas , Luke , and trying to save Annabeth and Artemis. Second, though Thalia was never mentioned, when Hylla , the Queen of the Amazons, talks to Hazel Levesque she mentions a group of archers that travel around who follow the goddess Artemis, which refers to the Hunters.

She is mentioned by Percy when he meets Jason for the first time. You're Thalia Grace's brother. You guys look nothing alike'" Percy said. Thalia was good at manipulating the Mist , unlike Percy, who always thought Don't look at me, and hope not to notice the giant greek warship landing in the middle of morning rush hour.

Thalia and the Hunters freed Reyna and led her through corridors, apologizing for kidnapping her. Thalia leads Reyna to Hylla and wishes her luck.

Later, while fighting Orion, Thalia returned, and Hylla tells Reyna to go with her, and she does. Thalia says that she needs to go, and that Hylla was right. After they left, Reyna was worried about what happened to Thalia, but is relieved when she finds out that she survived. Following their meeting in Portugal, Thalia and Reyna become close friends, keeping in close contact for months afterwards. According to Reyna, the experience of fighting Orion together bonded the two.

Even after demigod communications go down, Thalia and Reyna keep in contact via regular letters sent to post office boxes, although there can be a delay in responses as a result. Britomartis met with Thalia and the Hunters while they were hunting the Teumessian Fox , and told them to help Apollo , so they went to Indianapolis. Thalia is first mentioned by Lityerses while talking to Commodus.

Lit says that a group of Hunters infiltrated his palace and killed ten men. Commodus was angry when they got away. A few minutes later, the roof collapsed, and Thalia, Leo , and the Hunters came riding in on Festus. Apollo recognized Thalia, and Thalia yelled to save Apollo, relieving him. Thalia told Apollo that they needed to evacuate immediately, and Thalia climbed on Livia , going with Apollo back to the Waystation.

Thalia also told Apollo that Artemis is forbidden to even see him, and cannot give orders to help him, but helped him without orders. Apollo mentioned how he heard Thalia call him hot three years before, and Thalia blushed and said her reasoning and vision were impaired from sap damage. They arrived back at the Waystation, and Thalia led Apollo to the main hall. Thalia laughed and went to check on her Hunters.

Later, when Thalia found out about what Lit did, Thalia was furious and on the brink of tears, and said that she fought too many battles and lost too many people at San Juan while fighting Orion. Thalia then said that they will not lose the Waystation, stand with Jo and Emmie , and defeat Commodus.

Thalia later ate dinner with Calypso , Emmie, Leo, and Apollo, and said she needed a quiver to shoot Leo. That night, Thalia, Emmie, and Josephine sat at the kitchen table, discussing in hushed tones. Thalia fought the next day with the Hunters, Jo, Emmie, and the guests at the Waystation against Commodus and is forces. A terrified Thalia told Apollo to say the word, and she will shoot the emperor.

Apollo ordered Thalia to lower her bow. Thalia also kept her eyes shut while Apollo showed his true form, and had her clothes and hair lightened several shades, and Thalia asked why Apollo was roasted. Thalia tried to shoot Commodus, but missed.

After Commodus was pushed out the window, Thalia gathered with the others to the window, and suggested doing a sweep of the neighborhood to look for enemy soldiers.

Thalia also watched Georgina recite the next prophecy. Thalia looked for any sign of Commodus with Olujime and Sssssarah , but he was gone. At dinnertime, Thalia sat at the other end of the table, twirling her dagger. Thalia discussed the Dark Prophecy with the others, and said that the next full moon is in five nights. Apollo asked if Thalia and the Hunters could warn Camp Jupiter in time, but Thalia said that she and the Hunters cannot cover that much ground, and they are busy hunting the Teummessian fox.

Leo said that Thalia already had done enough work for them, and Thalia said that Leo owed her Texas hot sauce. Thalia and her Hunters left Indiana that night at moonrise, and Apollo saw them off. Thalia oversaw her Hunters while they gathered combat ostriches, saying that they will ride them, and then release them to live in peace. Thalia then tells Apollo to check on Piper and Jason for her, and Apollo tells her to check on Artemis in return.

Thalia then wished Apollo luck, and Apollo wished her happy fox hunting. Apollo thinks that he should be the one to break the news to her, and then thinks that he did not want to be in the same state as her when she heard the news of her brother's death. Thalia is first mentioned by Reyna and she mentions how they fought Orion together in Puerto Rico, and have kept in touch ever since.

Thalia's list of potential monster hot spots helps Reyna, Apollo and Meg McCaffrey pinpoint their destination as Sutro Tower which is on Thalia's list.

Reyna calls Thalia a good pen pal. Thalia had time to scream and throw things before she and the Hunters went to Camp Jupiter, arriving just in time to help defeat Tarquin 's undead forces.

Apollo sees Thalia again down the street with a group of survivors, comforting a legionnaire as she cried, looking exhausted after grieving over Jason, making Apollo realize that she had known for awhile. Thalia also said how Diana missed her, and gets so worried that she split into her Greek and Roman forms right in front of her, Artemis and Diana, and loved Apollo more than anyone else in the world.

Thalia briefly spoke to Reyna and asked if she was ready, and met her at the Senate House. Thalia then told Reyna to repeat the vow after her to join the Hunters, and then clasped her shoulder and welcomed her to the hunt. Thalia then took the seats of two senators. Thalia and Reyna later said goodbye to Apollo the next day with Aurum and Argentum, wolves, and Pegasi. Three months later she and the hunters are at the Waystation , resting up from there latest attempt to catch the Teumessian Fox.

She tells Apollo that the daughter of Bellona is one of the best hunters she has ever seen before Emmie calls them to the kitchen to help with dinner. Thalia is an exceptionally brave, strong, and caring girl, though at times she can be profoundly stubborn, prideful, and assertive, much like her father Zeus. She likes to be in charge and give out orders to people and becomes very angry if they are disobeyed normally by Percy. She also has a bit of a temper, as shown during the Capture the Flag match against the Hunters when Percy left his post, causing them to lose the game, so she shocked him with electricity, causing a fight.

In some ways she's very similar to Artemis, as she enjoys being around her fellow Hunters and is a great fighter. She is also very loyal to those she trusts and respects, as she is willing to risk her life to protect them for example, when she sacrificed herself on top of Half-Blood Hill. Unlike her fellow Hunters, Thalia apparently does not mind being around boys, as shown in The Lost Hero and many later books. Even though she's sworn off romance forever she loves her brother Jason dearly as shown by her joy upon finally reuniting with him in The Lost Hero and heartbroken by his death.

When she is around Percy, Thalia maintains a friendship with him with Percy himself calling her a good friend in The Sword of Hades. Thalia also possesses a number of similarities with her father, Zeus. Aside from being a proficient warrior and extremely powerful, Thalia is also a great leader when she needs to be and is completely relentless against an opponent.

However, Thalia has the unfortunate weakness of being supremely prideful, shown by her demanding that Percy not revealing her being afraid of heights. That said, Thalia is still extremely brave and stunningly loyal, shown by her fighting off the most frightening monsters from the Underworld, namely the Furies and a horde of Hellhounds, at Half-Blood Hill to allow her friends to escape. Her bravery obviously impressed her father, Zeus, for he decided to transform her into a pine tree so that she could survive, but this may have been influenced more by the fact that she was his daughter and Zeus has a bad habit of playing favorites.

Thalia is extremely emotional at times, and this means that her heart can overpower her head. This can be associated with her explosive temper, but also when she became destructively angry when Percy discovered she was afraid of heights. Thalia is also crying rivers whilst fighting Luke in The Titan's Curse , as she could not bring herself to believe that he had betrayed her.

Chiron once said that Percy and Thalia are very much alike. The only difference is that Thalia is more sure of herself, while Percy has less self-confidence. Thalia's fatal flaw is that she has a weak resistance when she is offered power mirroring Zeus's power struggle with his brothers, as she is also conflicted with Percy over capture the flag, and when offered by Luke to kill the Ophiotaurus. She is also afraid of heights acrophobia , a quality Percy finds strange and funny, as her father is the Lord of the Sky.

However, Thalia demands that Percy doesn't tell anyone else. Thalia has trouble abandoning a difficult task that she has started but is not able to complete. She also feels massive amounts of guilt about her brother Jason going missing when he was little, as she more or less raised him on her own her mother was an alcoholic, and therefore, unstable.

She never told anyone about this when she ran away, not even Luke or Annabeth. Thalia is a teenage girl with shoulder-length, spiky black hair, electric blue eyes though they are "stormy green" in Percy's dream of her in The Lightning Thief and stormy blue in Percy's dream in The Sea of Monsters , and freckles across her nose.

She is described as being "extremely pretty" by fellow campers and Apollo , and is "beautiful", according to Artemis. She typically wears a magical silver bracelet that turns into a modified version of Zeus' shield, Aegis , as well as a collapsible Mace canister that changes into a spear.

Thalia is often described as "punk" or "goth", and while her style of dress varies throughout the books, one of the most consistent features of her appearance is that of a silver circlet on her head, which she received after she became a Hunter of Artemis ; it looks like a princess' tiara according to Percy, and symbolizes her position as the first lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis.

In The Sea of Monsters , when Percy saw Thalia in a dream, she was described as having spiky black hair, dark eye-liner around her stormy blue eyes, a spray of freckles across her nose, and she wore punk-style clothes with silver chains on her wrists. When she was resurrected near the end of the book, Percy noted that she was built like a long-distance runner, lithe and strong, and she wore clothes that were somewhere between punk and Goth: a black T-shirt, black tattered jeans, and a leather jacket with buttons from a bunch of brands he had never heard of.

In The Titan's Curse , Thalia's attire consisted of a ripped-up army jacket, black leather pants and chain jewelry, and she wore black eye-liner around her eyes. In The Last Olympian , Thalia wore a black leather jacket, a "Death to Barbie" T-shirt, with a picture of a Barbie doll with an arrow going through its head, skull-shaped earrings and a silver circlet in her hair. When she appears in The Lost Hero , Thalia is wearing the typical garb of a Hunter, dressed in a silvery parka and camouflage pants.

In The Blood of Olympus , Thalia wore a Camouflage T-shirt, faded black jeans, black athletic shoes, and a utility belt. She had choppy black hair, and startling blue eyes. It is also described that she has a more Mediterranean complexion than her brother, Jason.

In The Dark Prophecy , Thalia wore jeans and a black leather jacket, held together by safety pins and patches. She wore pins of Ramones and Dead Kennedy's. She wore a silver tiara on her forehead.

In The Tyrant's Tomb , Thalia wore black denim leather jacket with buttons from punk rock bands. She wore a silver circlet on her forehead, the symbol of Artemis.

As a daughter of Zeus, one of the Big Three, Thalia is extremely powerful and and is very skilled with a spear as shown when she defeated Luke in combat. After becoming a Hunter of Artemis, she also became extremely skilled with a bow and arrow and knives.

Being the daughter of Zeus , Thalia is an extremely powerful demigod. She holds divine authority over the creatures of the sky as well as weather, having powers that are much greater than the children of nearly every other god, and is rivaled only by Jason , Percy , Nico , and Hazel.

As the lieutenant of Artemis , Thalia has the following abilities. A replica of Aegis , her shield. Luke Castellan , her former ally. It further dissolved after Luke poisoned her tree in The Sea of Monsters. In The Titan's Curse , Thalia was noted by Percy that she was crying when she fought with Luke, and she stated that she hadn't known peace since she'd traveled with Annabeth and Luke.

One of the reasons Luke betrayed Camp Half-Blood is because he thought it was what Thalia would have wanted, but this is never verified. Also, Luke apparently never got over the fact that Thalia got turned into a tree and her father, Zeus , didn't "save" her. However, it was not known what Thalia thought of him after he sacrificed himself to stop Kronos. Despite their differences, it's shown in The Lost Hero that she kept a picture of herself, Luke and Annabeth in Zeus's Cabin , never bothering to remove it despite Luke's betrayal.

Annabeth Chase , one of her best friends. Annabeth met Thalia when she was seven, after running away. Annabeth was scared when she met, but Thalia comforted her and introduced herself.

Thalia instantly wanted to protect her and get her clothes and food from a safe house. Thalia also thought caring for Annabeth was giving her a second chance after Halcyon Green sacrificed himself for the two. Annabeth ended up joining Luke and Thalia, fighting monsters and becoming close friends and family. Annabeth and Thalia became close and Thalia became protective of her, refusing to join the Hunters of Artemis , which meant leaving her, and they both had a shared love of Luke.

They also took a lot of pictures during that time. Thalia told Percy that the best two years of her life were running around with Luke and Annabeth. While they were traveling to camp, they got captured by Cyclops , and was separated from Thalia, and found her hanging from the ceiling. She saved her by stabbing a cyclops in the foot and untying Thalia, but being captured allowed monsters to catch up to them.

When they arrived at Camp Half-Blood , Thalia sacrificed herself to save Luke, Grover, and Annabeth but got turned into a tree in the process.

Annabeth cried while watching Thalia die and was devastated, and blamed herself for what happened to Thalia, and became distrustful of all cyclops, including Tyson.

Thalia and Annabeth reconnected over the months, and went to the same boarding school together in New York, being very close again by December. Annabeth told Thalia a lot about architecture, having Thalia memorize a lot of facts about monuments. When Bianca and Nico disappeared, Annabeth immediately ran to get Thalia, showing how much she trusts her and respects her authority.

Annabeth ended up sacrificing herself to save Thalia when the Manticore tried to attack her, causing Annabeth to fall off a cliff into darkness. Thalia was upset and angry over losing Annabeth and blamed Percy for what happened to her, especially after Luke was lost too.

Growing Stronger emerged from a need to relate my life experiences as well as my constant struggle to prevail each day, and as a reminder to myself of the importance of never giving up. There are moments that are decisive and transcendental, which have in some way impacted me deeply, a path that I had to chart, no matter how or where I was. The important thing was the desire and decision to do so—to conquer it, to walk it, to experience it, take it in, and most of all, to live it fully.

I started the book during a time when I felt that I had found myself, existing on a plane of optimal and harmonious balance regarding my thoughts and feelings alike, having made peace with my past—and I finished the book with a sense of fullness and liberation that I, in turn, wanted to share with you. But God had other plans, and because the book was already in production, I decided to include and share the latest of my great tests—the irreparable loss of my mother, who is the most cherished person in my life.

One week prior to her death, my mother—such the enthusiast about everything—held this finalized manuscript, which she not only read twice, but also edited, adding her comments where necessary and making revisions that we instantly addressed in the book. Since I was a little girl, I have witnessed the strength and courage that energized my mother, who left every sorrow and pain in the past, who would work unyieldingly to obtain her goals, who was the great warrior from whom I learned all the values that are today fundamental pillars of my every day.

She raised me to have a steady character; she held my hand, and with her I discovered an infinite world of possibilities and dreams that could become a reality. Her essence came through in all of my stories, in my daily life, in my dreams and desires. My mother shared all of it, always full of life and passion, as only she could be, one with freedom, shining like the sun and eating up the blessings and opportunities of life by hungry mouthfuls.

Handle it and pamper me.
