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.
