Sorry if you've answered this before. But what are Lex's relationships with the other members of the PJO cast?
For anybody seeing this who dosen't know who Lex is already:They're my booksverse Pjo self-insert!
Annabeth:Annabeth accidentally made Lex think she hated them thanks to her social awkwardness but Lex tried to reach out to her nonetheless since she was a first time friend for Percy too and they sorted things out pretty easily once they got to a have a one on one convo.Then they bonded over books and music tastes and the pressures put on them throught their respective divine parent!(Not necessarily by them,as Demeter's actually pretty openly loving and hands-on by greco-roman godly parent standards but circumstances gonna circumstance).Botanical stuff and academic stuff together are instantly Annabeth and Lex core and their signature besties shared snack is strawberry hot chocolate
Grover:Lex's a Demeter kid and Grover's a satyr so naturally and naturely(/silly),they got along instantly as they connected over their earthy origins and hobbies and fashion senses.Only reason Grover didn't befriend Lex before Percy did is he was too busy at Yancy Academy tbh and Lex arrived at Camp Half-blood a few months before Percy
Clarisse:Idly acted civil towards eachother throught the first two books and started forming a genuine friendship as Thalarisse became a thing and Lex was and still is Thalia's closest friend next to Annabeth.They both love sports but different kinds and work out together on a regular basis
(Speaking of)Thalia:They were there to help Percy help Thalia stand on her feet after the golden fleece ressurected her in two meanings of that term and sought her out directly at her cabin once the campers' dehumanizing idealization of her went on too long for them to brush it off anymore so she'd have a friend in them and Thalia assumed Lex would be a basic colorist cishet girl who rejects her black culture as she dealt with a lot of biracial girls like that in the past and they much to her thankfulness proved her worries wrong on their first chat alone.Thalia quit the Hunters at the end of Tlo partially to return to her female friends with them included in that and Lex was radicalized into joining punk culture directly as Thalia taught them about it once they asked what's it like being a punk.Also Lex acted as her and Clarisse's wingman alongside Annabeth,Grover and Percy!!Oh right and Thalia accidentally cracked Lex's egg during their first summer together as she's transfem🩵🩷
Rachel:They're the same woman in a different font honestly so the freak matching came in as soon as Botl ended and they share everything down to their closet items.It also needs stating them and Percy formed 'The Loser Trio' at Goode High as reclamation from getting nicknamed that by their bullies there and Rachel goes to live at La Residencia Jackson post-graduation to get away from her dad completely as Lex and their own dad Emil did as Percy and Lex decided to not go college.Rachel does but a community ones so she can still live at home
Ethan and Drew:Lex saved him from falling off Mount Olympus in tlo so he survived and while he immediately went off to find his mortal mother Elaine as soon as he was physically capable to,he kept in touch with Lex as they wrote letters to eachother and he pops up in-person a couple of times,including on their solo book aka The Persephone Times since it took place post-tlo but pre-hoo too.And they were Drew's first half-blood friend as they were the only one who caught her behavior wasn't her trying to be a bully but rather self-protection and found her boldness admirable and something to aspire to so she took them in as a friend and proof she didn't need to lower herself down to someone she's not to gain the treatment she wanted from her peers.The treatment in question being respect and worship ofc
Nico and Hazel:During ttc,Lex found Nico crying to himself in a corner over Bianca joining The Hunters and comforted him the same day earlier Percy introduced them and they made lavenders sprout from the ground and gave them to him while asking him to be nice to Percy and he enthusiastically nodded.Managing to calm him down and comfort him by offering an accepted offer to be his new big sister and making strawberry milk boba for them to share,their new found siblinghood didn't have very long beginner days as he soon ran away from camp but they reunited at botl's epilogue and they were a part of the botl-tlo interlude year story during where Nico and Percy worked on their issues and bonded inseparably.And post-Tlo ressurected Hazel now had THREE older familial figures as soon as she came back and attached herself to Lex easiest as their respective tastes aligned i.e painting,stereotypical girly girl things,games,jazz music,candles,etc so that gave them multiple points to connect over even besides but connected to being black women and black girls.Them and Percy all four are 'The Outcast Godlings' as their in-universe group title and one of the few title's they'll ever accept willingly
Jason:Paralleling how Lex had a one-sided crush on Thalia because she's extremely Percy-esque and found out they're bisexual that way,Jason had a one-sided crush on Lex which was his own bisexuality awakening and gets together with somebody extremely Lex-esque i.e Leo.The crush was embarrassingly for everybody involved unsubtle but didn't get in the way of their friendship blooming through and Valgrace itself is a Perlex parallel relathionship wise too!
Leo:Dork recognizes dork and they're one of the few Pjo character's who never found him annoying or unfunny while Leo provides Lex hype,both in terms of bragging their street cred to their doubters and encouraging their moods for dangerous stunts and backtalk.They made matching friendship bracelets they're pretty attached to too☺️
Piper:'Teenage girl' by Cherry Glazerr ass duo.That is to say,they're close friends who's characters are inherently tied to teenage girlhood of color and manage to turn the most out there mythological adventures into the most mudane every day situations while not lessoning the dangers and adrenaline any less.Hello Kitty fan solidarity also!Lex teaches Piper how diy her own HK merch🤗
Frank:He's a lot like Lex was pre-character development arc so Lex recognized where he was coming from with his struggles on a deep level and did his best to show him he's not alone in them and shouldn't need to be to 'prove he's a real man'(trans Frank is canon idc idc idc and Lex's half chinese so that's commentary on the emasculation of east asian men too!).On his end,Frank felt a couple of levels of non-malicious envy towards them for already going through their own hero journey at his age he still hadn't even technically started and voiced it to them in a very emotional battle scene where he saved their life using a move he mastered thanks to their patience with him and they responded by loudly proclaiming he has nothing to be feeling bad over and praising his skills he proved over their shared quest and times on The Argo ||.Their friendship was stronger than ever after that !
Those aren't their only connections to canon characters but those are the most significant ones aside from his siblings in the Demeter Cabin and Demeter and Persephone themselves!Those have their own post planned though :]
