I don't see how Reyna was a bitch,but great job on the whole thing anyway!Β

I honestly don't see how Reyna was a bitch except maybe when she made the suggestion that Annabeth should die a painful death to appease Octavian when it should've been Leo also. But hey, at least it shows that one of my favorite characters isn't perfect.

OOOOOOHHHHH BURN. That girl will be kicked out of Camp Jupiter borders for the rest of her life.

The only reason I didn't exactly like her in SoN was she tried to move in on Percy. But the rest of her behavior is kinda explainable. A newcomer in her high security camp? 2 gods have favored him? That would of made me suspicious. Plus, she's the only prateor and the camp rides on her shoulder and if something wrong happens, she's to blame. Ok⦠longer explanation than I expected. Your art is awesome!

Well, it's not like she knew that Percy had a girlfriend. Just saying.

I totally agree with you. Rick made her seem like a bitch in SoN but I've learned to love her afterwards actually x)

Hehe Reyna is one of my favorite characters.

I used to think the same way, but now I think Reyna is awesome.

I feel like everyone misunderstands Reyna. She's super complex and people seem to misinterpret her actions.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know right... just look at what she have been through.
Jason break uo with her and then she have to see him with Piper all the time. Then Percy rejects her. Her home was also destroyed, and then the greek fir on new rome accident

My thinking exactly.

Haha n_n but the picture is still funny

I found her out to be someone who hated Percy before the quest then afterwards wanted to date him

Reyna was bitch? Seriously? o.O
I think the impression I got from reading SoN was /completely/ different. Exactly the opposite, in fact. I found her to be very reasonable and level-headed.
But to each their own, I guess.

Ooh, but nice drawing, by the way. I like their faces.

This is how I'm feeling about Reyna right now, especially the way she acted towards Annabeth in at the Battery in MoA.
π: 0 β©: 2
... Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure she let Annabeth go in that scene, and I figured she was so stoic because she knew that if she was found out she could be charged for betrayal.
But again, what do I know?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm glad that she let Annabeth at Charleston. You do bring up an intersting point.
I just wish she hadn't suggested that Annabeth die a painful death to placate the Romans.
π: 0 β©: 1
But it was true. Either have Annabeth die, or let the Romans declare war on the Greeks. The reason Reyna let Annabeth escape was because she could see the bigger picture. She knew that she could be charged for treason and put on trial if anyone found out what happened, but also knew that if Annabeth was captured, the Greeks would turn around and declare war on Rome. Generally, it was a lose-lose situation, but Reyna knew that there was a chance Annabeth could set things right, even with the two camps art war.

That was smart of Reyna and good for me because I don't want CJ and CHB to be at war with each other. Still not a big fan of the "your death will be painful" thing though and the fact that she said that she and Annabeth would be enemies when they met again. That kinda broke my heart because I wanted (and still want) Reyna to be on the Seven's side like Jason said despite her being "bitter and alone" like Annabeth described.

...How can you say that?
People like you disappoint me. I respect your opinion, but I don't understand how you can hate a character for little reasons.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry if I disappoint you, but what's my opinion is my opinion and I intend to keep it that way unless Reyna becomes a type of character I am able to like.
π: 0 β©: 1
Either you are too silly to interpret the true way RR wrote Reyna, or you are simply being too biased.
What has she done to deserve your hate? Not being able to relate to her does not entitle you with the option to hate a character. Did you get a different copy of MoA? Because I certainly don't remember when Reyna acted snooty and cruel. She let Annabeth go even though the Greeks fired at New Rome. She could've killed Annabeth on the spot, but she didn't. Don't lie about something as clear as day.
Being stoic does not equal being bitchy. If that's what you think then I'm sorry to correct you. Being stoic is hiding emotions. Zoe and Reyna both have had extremely difficult lives thus leading to them build a way against everyone. Something happened in their lives that MADE them distrust. And that leads to not trying to show your flaws or your emotions, so nobody can hurt you from your weak points.
π: 0 β©: 1
You are right in saying she did the right thing by letting Annabeth go and giving the Greeks a first chance. What I don't like is that she is cold and always demanding answers when other people obviously don't feel comfortable doing so, never asking their permission and always intimidating them. Yes, being stoic and distrustful helps hide weak points but it can also give other people the impression that that person is stuck up. Having a difficult life is not a good excuse. Take Leo and Hazel for example. Gaea the mother of all evil ruined their lives but that didn't stop them from being warm and friendly to other people, trying to make them feel better and being close comrades with them.

All of those things are flaws, which makes her a well-written character. You asked what was the difference between a "nice" character and a well-written one if I remember correctly.
A well-written character has flaws and is acknowledged by other protagonists. She/he has good and suitable motives for actions, depths, and realistic traits. Even though you cannot relate to her, you cannot deny that she is realistic. There are many people in life who won't show their emotions.
Give me an example of where Reyna demands answers. She asks questions because it is her job to protect the camp. If you don't ask any questions, how are you going to know if the person you're letting into your home is an enemy or friend? When Percy arrived at camp, she asked him questions, but after she found out that he had no idea himself, she didn't keep on going, "You're lying. Where did you come from?"
How is being stoic related to stuck up? Elaborate?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I understand what you're trying to say in the first two paragraphs. I do agree that Reyna is flawed and realistic.
One example where Reyna demands answers is when she and Annabeth are taking a walk alone together in MoA.(It is also quoted in MoA "Her tone (Reyna) made it clear she wasn't asking for permission" when she said to Percy that she wanted to speak to Annabeth alone.) While I kinda find her interrogation of Percy in SoN understandable, I just wish she had been less strict and intimidating to Annabeth considering Percy had just been made praetor and was a hero to New Rome. Demanding answers from the hero of New Rome's girlfriend was a bad move in gaining other people's trust in my opinion.
I find stoic people a little stuck up because they come across as indifferent to me. Idk why, but with people who are less expressive in their emotions, it's harder to tell whether I'm on their good side or not.
π: 0 β©: 1
"gaining people's trust." Who's trust? The Greeks have landed in the Roman's home. Reyna doesn't need trust from the Greeks; they're the ones on her territory. It's the Greeks who need trust from the Romans, not vice versa. Reyna was also telling Annabeth some useful information about their quest.
But that's what makes them a good character. You CAN'T tell if they are on the bad side or not. Severus Snape from Harry Potter is one of the best examples. He was believed to be Voldemort's spy on Dumbledore until the last book where Harry sees the memories.
I still don't understand what you're trying to say. How is being indifferent close to being stuck up?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think the only thing I can wholly agree with is that Snape is a good character. Sorry.

To be fair, not everybody is perky and friendly. Some people are simply not capable of behaving that way.
Stoicism is not necessarily all-encompassing; I can be reasonably certain that any person who appears stoic has pretty intense emotions running beneath the facade. It's not simply a logical choice based on people hurting or not hurting you. There are people who essentially /cannot/ be passionate in their outward behavior, regardless of how they feel inside. The neurons between their emotions and their actions act like a traffic-jammed side road rather than an express highway.
What you feel about such people is entirely your opinion, mind- you're perfectly within your rights to hate or dislike them if you feel the need to. Granted, I can't see the point of it, but meh. Considering the fact that I tend to actively dislike Thalia for no particular reasons than my feelings about her, I probably should not be pointing fingers on the same things happening with someone else.
You really shouldn't be surprised at any vitriolic reaction you get to continued comments about how a character should die, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you. I really like what you said and I admire your respect. I have no problem with you disliking Thalia. It doesn't hurt my feelings because she's not a real person. I think I can respect your reasons because your comment is not vitriolic at all even if you disagree with me. Maybe I can learn to agree with you on your first paragraph because you are polite and have valid reasons and don't insult other people. I really appreciate that.

I HATE REYNA but i respect anyone who does. I would also do this.

Reyna is by far one of my least favorites....

Same here. I dislike her even more than Octavian.

IKR!! finally someone who agrees

I hope Reyna remains bitter and alone like Annabeth described because I don't feel one ounce of sympathy for her (Reyna).
π: 0 β©: 1
me neither. Reyna has the 'oh my co-worker disappeared im so alone' feel to her. i really hate it
π: 0 β©: 1
I know exactly what you're talking about. I personally hate Reyna because she's so stoic and has always has a spear up her podex. I just don't find characters like that relateable. Give me Leo or Thalia any day of the week. I also hated the way she treated Annabeth in Mark of Athena: acting snooty, anal, cruel, and from my POV kinda jealous, acting from the beginning that Annabeth would fail her quest. Also, I hated how she made a move on Percy when she already might've had a boyfriend who could've been in danger and missing her.

Reyna "made a move" on Percy for the sake of the Camp. She offered him power and to sweeten the deal, she gave herself up. It was quite selfless, if you think about it. And she wasn't mean at Annabeth. Not at all. She was defensive, true. But not a bitch. She has her reasons while Annabeth can be a bitch and not have any reason to be one.
π: 0 β©: 1
If you don't think Reyna's a bitch I won't hate you. However, I still think "making a move" on Percy was over the top and a little unnecessary. Just asking him to find Hylla was all she needed. Anyways, Annabeth was a bitch because she was jealous of Rachel and because she and Percy didn't see eye-to-eye on the Luke issue.
