#annabeth is smart

[ilikebooksanstuff]

let annabeth be imperfect. let her be brilliant, but also let her be bossy, too sure of herself, and never willing to admit that she is wrong. let her be emotional and caring but also let her get irrationally angry, and let her get jealous.

let percy have flaws. let him be kind and smart but also let him be impulsive, and irrational. let him be considerate and loyal but let him be rude and closed-off, let him be intimidating in the wrong ways as well.

in terms of their dynamics as well, let percy an annabeth complement each other, let percy also help annabeth as he's done several times. I'm all for percy being devoted to annabeth, but don't characterise her as though she isn't just as devoted to him. that's not giving justice to him nor her. that's why they work, not because percy is some moron who wouldn't survive a day without her.

let our characters be human. don't reduce them to "perfect, smart, and never wrong annabeth" or "silly, idiotic, careless percy" nor their flip sides. they have imperfections. get over it.

Things to take in consideration about Annabeth:

She is very diplomatic ; always trying to find the best way to resolve the problems for both parts. Diplomacy is also one of the best strategies for this and for negotiations, if the situation requires it. Annabeth also believes that having a good conversation and clarifying the facts is better than acts of violence in the first moment.

She is also very observant. Always have been since when she still used to live with her father and stepmother, but Annabeth has improved it over the years and even read books about body language and subjects related to that. Observation, whether to observe the people around you and their intentions as well as being aware of your surroundings, is a crucial survival tactic and Annabeth is always attentive to everything and everyone.
