Character Sketch: Annabeth Chase
Character Sketch: Annabeth Chase With beach-wavy blonde hair and eyes an intelligent stormy grey, Annabeth Chase stands tall and confident, endowed with a love for knowledge and adventure. Whether she’s being tested, or actually running for her life, Annabeth keeps cool and thinks fast, using her beauty and cunning with great precision. Being the daughter of the goddess of wisdom, Athena, Annabeth inherited a love of architecture and an accurate use of strategy. Unluckily, she has also been given an overbearing phobia of spiders, and a fatal flaw that has cursed many other children of Athena: hubris, or, deadly pride. Her fellow half-blood campers respect Annabeth and go to her for advice and tips about quests because of her extensive experiences and foreknowledge of many myths. Several members even fear Annabeth due to her strong will and determination. Leo most notably mentions in The Mark of Athena that while Annabeth was on her solo quest for the “Mark”: “Leo never thought he’d feel this way, but he was actually worried about that scary blond girl.”
Annabeth is a strong and graceful character, and hopes to never be apart from her boyfriend, male protagonist, Percy Jackson. Currently in the book series, Annabeth and Percy have just helplessly fallen into Tartarus together, rather than Percy let her venture alone and try to rescue her later. The couple spent over six months apart as Hera abducted Percy. Hera wiped his memories, luckily excluding several of Annabeth, but has since regained all his experiences. Annabeth had spent those months searching and scouring for any leads to where her beloved may have been. Finally being reunited, Annabeth has returned to her normal bookworm, active, enjoyable

    Being too protective is a weakness for Athena because she is known as the Goddess of the City, protector of civilized life. She protects her city from outside enemies, who threaten the city’s threshold. Another weakness is that she is sometimes prideful. An example of that is when Arachne challenged Athena to a weaving contest. Arachne’s weaving showed the Gods/Goddesses in a disrespectful way, so Athena destroyed her weaving. Out of humiliation, Arachne committed suicide and Athena took pity on her and brought her back to life. As Athena brought her back to life her pride blinded her and she turned Arachne into a spider. Athena’s protectiveness can be a strength because when she protects her city it drives her to fight better. Athena being prideful can also mean that she knows what she’s capable of and she’s confident about her choices. Athena is the strongest Olympian because she turns her weaknesses into strengths that she can use as an…

    Anna's efforts throughout the plague were transcendent, surpassing that of any other villager. The novel encompassed Anna's 'journey' throughout the course of events, having significantly more importance to the plot than the plague itself. However, it was Elinor that begun Anna on her journey, helping her see that the good she could do, no matter how trivial, could help others profoundly. It was through Elinor that Anna discovered hope, which fuelled her desire to step up as the compassionate 'hero' of Eyam. She was able to accomplish this by detaching herself from religious ideology, which was the cause of humanity seeing the world in "dark and light... [which] was how [she] was taught to view the world." Anna was able to fully embrace life, which enabled her to develop a passion for midwifing, fulfilling her characterisation as a 'hero'. Elinor's endeavours concerning the crisis, too, was of a benevolent…

    Arachne, a mortal girl, possesses legendary weaving skills, but is incredibly proud of her talent. Many believed that Arachne was trained by Athena, the goddess of the arts. Instead of receiving the compliment warmly and thanking Athena for her talent, Arachne boasts that she was self-taught and can weave better than Athena herself. Athena is “outraged” at Arachne’s blasphemy (Metamorphoses VI line 50). Athena is the creator of weaving, the one who bestows artistic talent, and the “superior” artist (Metamorphoses VI line 45). In the end, there could be no benefit for Arachne by challenging Athena. Yet, Arachne accepts Athena’s challenge, and the two weave immaculate tapestries. Athena weaves episodes of presumptuous mortals that were punished for their “bid for glory”—an obvious warning to Arachne (Metamorphoses VI line 118). The adulterous deeds of the gods were Arachne’s focal point in her tapestry. She illustrates several occasions in which Zeus rapes mortal women. Arachne purposefully taunts Athena with these blatant depictions of Zeus’ “celestial misconduct” (Metamorphoses VI line 187). Arachne’s downfall is fueled by her “foolish,” ignorant quest for victory (Metamorphoses VI line 72). Athena was no ordinary rival but a “goddess” (Metamorphoses VI line 58). Arachne’s work provokes Athena’s territorial…

    Anna Frith, a previously illiterate 18-year-old housemaid, becomes a scholar, midwife, and independent woman capable of supporting herself and her children over a series of events. Anna is a strong woman in the novel, who portrays a lot of courage. This is evident as Anna is the only on to stand up to the lynch mob who are intending on murdering the Gowdie’s. Anna also demonstrates courage, as well as self-sacrifice when she decides to adopt Mrs. Bradford’s illegitimate daughter, to prevent him from being murdered. Anna also shows compassion, as her maternal instincts show her unselfishly caring for others who suffer from the ‘venom in the blood.’ Even though she constantly puts herself at risk of infection daily, Anna continues to provide help to the community. Anna’s bravery and knowledge of mining enables her to empower Merry Wickford to keep her mine. These character traits give Anna a strong role in the novel as being a caring and supportive member of Eyam. However, Anna has her moments of self-doubt as her ‘cowardice shamed’ her and showed an inability to cope as she used the…
