Top 10 Most Heroic Percy Jackson Characters
Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a fictional character, the title character and narrator of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Percy, Leo and Nico altogether deserve no. 1. Percy doesn't tremble before death and never hesitates when it comes to sacrifice, like taking the weight of the sky for a goddess, swallowing his ego and pride to let his worst enemy save the day, letting himself die in the ocean out of guilt (Kym, Jason and that giant), allowing himself to go to the depths of hell. He's taken multiple risks, like bathing in the River flipping Styx with only 2% chance of survival. And you say Percy is afraid of death. He even allowed others to be in the spotlight, like Clarisse in SOM or Leo and Jason in BOO.
I find he's the most heroic because he risked his life several times just to save others. I find that's a true hero, and he is one of my favorite charecters. Can't believe the monsters don't like him
Percy is corky, sass, He has THE BEST one liner ever, but his fatal flaw is he will do anything for his friends. That is bravery. He got his memories wiped for the greater good of humanity. Percy is almost always about to die. Plus don't you think it takes bravery to fight Luke with a monster bug that will kill you in sixty second. Need I remind you he got stung be that. Oh by the way the one liner I mentioned before, my personal favorite, "I shook my head. "I'm a lot of things but I'm not a thief"
Leo Valdez is a major character from the book series Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. He is one of the seven heroes in the Prophecy of Seven. He is a Greek demigod and is the son of Hephaestus / Vulcan, and has the ability to create and manipulate fire (pyrokinesis). I often find myself writing big paragraphs about Leo, but I feel this one needs next to no explanation. He's willing to DIE. You often find Percy doing things to avoid death, but Leo is willing to actually sacrifice himself for the cause of good. Also, he's willing to face his life, guilt, and faults every day with a smile. His backstory is straight up tragic. Percy's backstory is composed of getting kicked out of school and his mom making blue cookies to cheer him up. I don't see why he's braver than TEAM LEO.
Leo was WAY braver than Mr. Sneaky Jackson. If Percy worked on a war ship for six months everyday nonstop (sometimes he would even get become sick from the lack of sleep) AND alone without Annabeth by his side, then dared to save his friends' lives but almost destroying the whole ship you spent a half a year on! Then have a pet dragon you spent a long time with. It was almost as if losing a dog for your friends. And THEN sacrifice yourself for the world's safety. Percy only risked his life saving Olympus from falling, (thus the Titans may sven let the humans live)but Leo saved the whole world from being destroyed by Gaea. He was the true hero, and he should be number one because of this.
Hazel sacrificed herself TWICE just so others wouldn't suffer. First, she sacrificed her life. Then, she GAVE UP ELSYIUM just so her mother (who wasn't that nice to her in the first place) wouldn't suffer. And that was all before the Heroes of Olympus series even started.
Twice. Twice she made huge sacrifices. Like, giving up Elysium so her mother wouldn't go to the Fields of Punishment! Doesn't that make her deserve Elysium more? She's super sweet. 9.5/10
Hazels power is amazing. Not only being a child of Pluto, which is amazing, she has the ability to control the mist. THAT is powerful. Her friendship with Arion is amazing.
Nico di Angelo is a fictional character created by Rick Riordan. He appears in Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Hero of Olympus, and parts of Trials of Apollo. As a son of Hades, the boy is a demigod. He befriended Percy and had many roles in his long time appearance including stopping Minos, fighting Titans, traveling back and forth camps and during the war with Gaea he had to transport the Athena... read more How is Nico di Angelo below Percy Jackson? Nico went through so much. His depression after losing his sister. His anxiety. The nightmares that plagued him after Tartarus. (He went through Tartarus alone, Percy had Annabeth). His discrimination because he is the son of Hades. His fear of coming out because he was born in an era where homosexuals were prosecuted. Not only is he mentally strong but he's also physically strong. This kid could raise armies of skeletons and travel around the country using shadows when he was twelve, that's the age Percy found out he was a demigod. And how can he be below Annabeth? All she does is stick to Percy. Yes brains are better than strength but I felt she was to clingy to Percy. I like Hazel but I feel that Nico is stronger than her. Leo is one of my favorite characters too and he went through some sad stuff in his past but Nico still beats him. None of these characters are as inspirational to me as Nico. I connected with him. My past is quite similar to his. and I know it takes a lot of bravery and strength to keep going through that. I think Nico should be #1.
Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena and one of the main characters of both the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series. She's also Percy Jackson's girlfriend and has no particular powers aside from her brains and tactics. Annabeth is as brave and heroic as Percy she speaks her mind she had a difficult past because she was different but she stayed brave. She saves anybody who she can to do her part I think she is much higher than this so please vote!
Annabeth is the best character! If it wasn't for her Percy would already be DEAD. She's so smart. She could probably find the most sophisticated ways of explaining things. She's the bravest! How come she's rated so low!?
She is one of the bravest characters she raised the sky until Artemis came. She saved Percy's life by blocking a poison arrow and Ethan stabbing him in his Achilles spot.
She literally got blessed by Athena/Minerva, earning a legendary (LEGENDARY) cape, single-handedly led the entire camp to war, plus she actually put up with a certain screeching-chicken-on-fire called Octavian for a long time, every guy she liked left her, but she never had any hard feelings.
She is so brave. She kills Orion, which none of the hunters can do even after spending centuries of practice and effort of trying. She is so brave.
She's so heroic. IN BOO she cared about her quest and her friends more than her life! She always sacrificed herself, and she tried to be becos she was the leader of new rome, and I guess staying with octavian for many years proves her great patience
Thalia was brave enough to sacrifice herself to save her friends. She was brave enough to turn down power. She was brave enough to kick her former friend's ass. She was brave enough to take a pillar for her friends. She was brave enough to drive a sun bus into a lake. She was brave enough to ask her father for help. She was brave enough to talk about cheeseburgers in the middle of a war. She was brave enough to talk with a knife to her throat. She was brave enough to take a stand and say that she didn't want to live like a hunted animal. She was brave enough to fight countless monsters. She was brave enough to stand up to 4 goddesses. So what if she's afraid of heights? She should be at least number three
I think Thalia should be higher. She took on an army of monsters herself, and because of her death, the camp is now protected. As soon as I heard about her, I was honestly like "Why did she have to die?!" She is an amazing person, and will probably live on forever as a Hunter of Artemis. At least, a long time and then choosing her own way of death, or sacrificing herself in some sort of super noble way. I'm just saying, she's up there with the children of the Underworld, as a 10/10.
I love animals, so the fact that Frank can transform into them is amazing. He might be big and strong on the outside, but in the inside, he is a teddy bear.
He almost burned his life out to free Death. No wonder he's on the list. 8.9/10
Frank is awesome
Luke deserves to be drastically higher on this list than he is. His ordeal was probably one of the hardest in the entire damn series!
He should be #1! He was the final tipping point to stop Kronos!
He was the Bravest.
HE SHOULD BE SECOND. Percy should be first. I LOVE LEO, but he only sacrificed himself because he had the Physician's cure. Percy and Jason would willingly sacrifice themselves any day. But come on guys. Jason DIED to save Piper, Apollo, and Meg's lives. Even though Piper broke up with him, he was still ready to fight Caligula for her. Some people don't like him just because he was serious, but he was raised by Lupa, and by Camp Jupiter, which was basically a military camp. Can you blame him for being serious? Also, what's wrong with being serious? Leo and Percy already make
enough jokes for the entire crew of the Argo II. We don't need another Percy or another Leo. I don't see what's so bad about Jason. He is a hero, a leader, a friend, and so much more. He is my fourth favorite character, and needs to be higher than 11th. And Hazel as third? Really? I love Hazel, but she is the least heroic out of the seven in my opinion. Also, Nico should be lower. He's a great character, but not really that heroic. Name one time he came in and saved the day. Everyone else has done it. But not Nico. So why is he fourth?
She went on a quest even though she was sure that she was going to die. She was truly brave and so underrated.
She took a risk by waking up Ladon, who gave her the wound. She also charged into battle even though she was already wounded.
Zoe is amazing! She deserves to be higher
OK, he isn't the bravest, but Grover is brave! He was undercover in the cyclops den, He led 3 demigods who were trailed by monsters to camp half-blood, he faced his fear and went into the labyrinth, THEN faced them again with Tyson.
I love the nature as much as Grover does. He is so determined and had a hard life. HE was the one that saw Pan die. That must have been hard. But he was very determined and made it through.
He went underground even though he was scared. He walked by something he was scared of alone. He's brave alright
She took a risk by getting the Hades figurine for her brother, even though it was a dumb risk, she still did it. And she sacrificed herself to stop the machines thing.
In my mind, extremely brave. Nina a sacrificed herself and looked after Nico when Norine else was there.
She saved everybody.
He acts like a toddler, yet he managed to go through so much - and, unless I'm remembering wrong, almost solely for Percy!
He is so cute, as a cyclopes, he is only a kid! However he has incredible bravery, but most of all, his friendship and kindness are amazing.
You bet! It's amazing that he's so brave when in Cyclops terms, he's just a baby!
Piper has suffered the least pain, honestly. Percy had an abusive stepfather. Jason was handed over deliberately by his mother. Annabeth's stepmother was cruel, and so was her father, so she had to run away. Hazel was used by her mother, which lead to her death. Frank's mom died in a war, and he never saw his grandmother after his home burned down. Poor Leo was forced to light his hands on fire, resulting in his mother's death. DOn't get me started on Nico. Just, don't. But you can't deny she changed, becoming stronger, until, well, The Burning Maze. She is the least bravest, but she is an ok person. She WAS a jerk to Apollo though. So, honestly, 7/10. We can't forget her charmspeak and how nice she was to her cabin mates.
Swordplay isn't the only weapon. She can literally command people have to do and they have to obey. Plus she did learn how to use a sword. And she may have suffered the least, but she WAS neglected by her dad. It's not her fault, and I have no idea why people blame her for being born into a almost decent family.
He knew he had no chance of surviving the explosion, yet he still activated it to try stop Kronos.
Died trying to end the second titan war to bad it was all for nothing
I'm sorry, but only Ethan and Percy dared to attack someone protected by the mark of Achilles.
He sacrificed an eye, and himself for the minor gods, there's nothing braver than tthat.
She tried so hard to raise her son normally, even putting up with Smelly Gabe to protect him. If that's not sacrifice, I don't know what is.
Dude, she risked her life on SEVERAL occasions just to make sure that Percy was OK. Definitely one of the most underrated characters in the book.
She hit Kronos with a hairbrush she deserves to be higher than Jasmine
She is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 31st animated feature film Aladdin (1992). I remember this sitting at the bottom of this tier list over a year ago. Now it's in 15th and climbing fast. Good job idiots.
What the heck is she doing here with a fancy disney picture?
And why in the world is she 15?
I love jasmine but she is not a Percy Jackson character.
So is this for all Riordanverse characters not just the Greek/Roman ones? If so, there needs to be more Magnus Chase and Kane Chronicles characters on here, not just Magnus!
She is so brave and heroic. Just try to argue.
She is my absolute favorite goddess. Also, she is the only god that managed to make it onto the list. She is so amazing.
She's a hunting goddess! #Brave
Her ability to control plants and all of her powers make her formidable. She might seem like a street kid on the outside, but on the inside, she is keeping down all the emotions and the secrets.
She can do just about anything with plants. Number 2 main character in ToA. and 24 on the list!?
