The Stoll brothers just suddenly got the responsibility of being head councilors after their older brother betrayed the entire camp and yet they’re “just comedic relief”
pt.2 to drawing pjo minor characters..this time it’s the Aphrodite cabin !!
okay even though the lineart is hard to see in Valentina’s hair, shes supposed to have a little matching braid with lacy..
I also feel like mitchell and lacy basically took Valentina under their wing when she first got at chb ( despite both of them being younger then her lol atleast that’s what I headcanon for their ages ) anyways yeah thats my canon now 😄✌️
anyways i plan on doing Hermes cabin next whenever I get free time
also lacy and mitchells last names are just ones I gave to them since they don’t have canon last names
I think we need to make a list of the minor characters in PJO of who they and when they show up because as someone who's read the ENTIRE series just a year ago, even i am forgetting some
So let me get that list started
Share any PJO/Riordanverse minor characters you know of/love
I want to give characters with no elaborated backstories a backstory. Like those who's backstories are just a fly of mentions and then we have no idea? Call it a training session or something, I might do character revivals as well. I specify here for the Percy Jackson series
Also of the chosen character is an asshole *cough* Octavian *cough* I'm going to rewrite their character entirely. Make them nice, and call it a day
hi guys! so this is very very very self indulgent but i have two pjo ocs i desperately need to write about. if you read this, great! but it's mostly just for me.

When Aella was fourteen years old, she was dead.
Well, close to dead. She hadn't been eating well, and it's not like her family did anything about it. Her dad drank all day and her mom was nowhere to be seen.
When her younger brother, Aaron, went to school with a black eye, everything changed. CPS was called, and the siblings were taken away to live with their uncle.
Uncle T, let's call him, was quiet and old. He sat with his hands on his lap, didn't drink, didn't smoke, and always had dinner for the two once they got home from school. He was nice enough. He worked all day and most of the night, but he promised Aella she could call him whenever she needed.
When Aella was fifteen, she started to feel worse and worse every single day. She couldn't wake up in the morning. When she went to school, she could see these monstrous figures, all talking to her, all saying that they would find her soon.
When she told Uncle T about it, he took her to the doctor. Her doctor was a kind blond woman, and Aella imagined that her mom could've looked similar.
She and the doctor talked for a long time. Aella liked her a lot.
Then she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and prescribed pills with names she couldn't pronounce.
The ride home was awkward. Uncle T tried putting a hand on her shoulder, but she just shrunk away. Once they arrived, Aaron hugged her tight.
"Are we okay?" he asked. Poor Aaron, always worrying about everyone but himself. Aella smiled and watched him for a moment.
Aaron was short, for now at least. He and Aella shared the same hazel eyes, though his hair was much more blond and wavy. Aella's was just light brown. He was pretty cute, and dressed like a little boy, despite being thirteen. Uncle T would tell her that Aaron looked up to her, and she'd just scoff and shrug.
The truth is, Aella wasn't a good role model, at all.
She nodded and smiled back at her brother, "Yeah. I'm not mad at you, Aar."
He shrugged and smiled, before leaving the room. His footsteps were loud, but they comforted Aella. It helped her realize who was there and who wasn't.
Once Aella got back to school on her last day, there was no dinner. Uncle T was sitting on the kitchen floor with shaky hands, gripping onto his clothes. She tried to walk up to him, slowly. Carefully.
When she got too close, he cried out. "No! Stop!"
She flinched. Slowly kneeling down, she shook her head. "Is something wrong? Can I do anything to fix this?"
He shook his head, breathing heavy and loud. "You need to leave. You and Aaron both. For New York. Okay?" Another sharp breath. He cupped Aella's face with his hands. "It's going to be okay, just go. Pack a bag. Leave before tomorrow morning. Okay?"
Panic filled her. What was going on? Why did they have to leave? What was in New York?
She stood up, knocking on Aaron's door loudly. "Pack your stuff! Now!"
Soon, they were on the road. Aella had saved up a hundred bucks over the years. It wouldn't be nearly enough for a plane ticket, but maybe they could catch a taxi? She shoved the bills in her pocket.
Aaron had packed a ton of material goods Aella was sure they wouldn't need, but seeing the scared look on his face, she felt she had to let it slide. She brought her pocket knife along, too.
Finally, she knelt down in front of her uncle and hugged him tight. Aaron watched quietly, before joining in and breaking down in tears. Then, before they left, their uncle handed them a map. Of New York, with an area circled. North Shore, Long Island.
The siblings sat and waited at the train stop a long time. Aaron had soon fell asleep, and, feeling a little guilty she didn't bring a blanket, Aella wrapped her jacket around him and waited.
A few weeks went by of hopping trains, budgeting, and buying snacks before they met Grover.
He was a quiet boy with brown curly hair, a little bit younger than Aaron. He was train-hopping too, it seemed, and made close friends with the siblings.
"Where are you two headed?" he questioned.
"North Shore, Long Island."
Grover's face lit up. "No way! Me too!"
"That's great! We can go together!" Aaron smiled.
Once they'd arrived there, Aella felt almost...worried. Grover was just a kid, even younger than Aaron, and all alone.
"Where are you going to sleep tonight?" She blurted out. The question came out before she could stop it.
"Oh, um, I'm staying at a motel."
"Could we come with you? Safety in numbers, right?" she felt desperate. Finally, someone other than her brother to talk to, and he was already leaving?
Grover nodded. "Sure, I guess."
On the walk to the motel, Aella saw something. A winged monster, if you will.
She screamed out, and for once, no one was looking at her like she was crazy. Grover grabbed Aaron's arm and ran, while Aella followed, gripping her pocket knife tightly.
They arrived at some sort of summer camp. Everyone was wearing orange shirts, which was completely unflattering, and they were using swords and bows and arrows. It was totally old school.
She frowned. "Where are we?"
"Camp Half-Blood," Grover explained. "It's a camp, for um, demigods."
"Demigods?" she laughed. "Like, Hercules? You know those are just stories, right?"
"No, they're not. Aella, I know this might be a lot to take in, but you're a demigod. You and Aaron both. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!"
i realize now that titling this "the lovers" is lowkey misleading.... aaron and aella are SIBLINGSSSSS SIBLINGS SIBLINGS SIBLINGSSSSSSSSSS
im pretty proud of this lowkey cuz aella has been my oc since like forever. shes not a self insert tho shes literally got so much going on and i love herr!!!!!!!!!

Starting off the PJO/TKC/MCGA side/minor character list so you all can have a detailed list of who they are, when they appear, and other things
If I make a mistake, forget something, or anyone has a minor character they know of, please leave them in the reblogs or comments, all help appreciated
Though I said all minor characters, I will not be counting MAIN side characters, aka side characters who appear so much or everyone knows, such as- mostly any gods, Sally Jackson (we all know who she is), Grover Underwood, Chiron, Luke Castellan, Rachel Elizabeth Dare (maybe I'll rethink that one), Meg McCaffery, Will Solace, Alex Fierro, probably any of the supporting cast in Magnus Chase, Amos Kane (my fave), Zia Rashid, Walt Stone, others
IM TALKING MINOR MINOR CHARACTERS
CHARCTERS SO SMALL THEY APPEAR LIKE ONCE AND NO ONE REMEMBERS EM
thank you whoever commented on my last post about Adrian, a friend of Alex Fierro who died- he'll be added to the MCGA section
Due to how big PJO universe is and how small MCGA and TKC is, I'll split the lists into 2, and those lists will be posted by a count of 20 each, to not overdue on Tumblr
