Annabeth Chase is a seventeen-year-old Greek demigod and the daughter of the goddess Athena and professor Fredrick Chase, and the cousin of Norse demigod Magnus Chase. She is one of the main characters in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series as well as the Heroes of Olympus series. She appears briefly also in Mgnus Chase. Annabeth is the official architect of Olympus and the head counselor of the Athena cabin. She is also a part of the 7 demigods of the prophecy in the Heroes of Olympus. Annabeth is the girlfriend of Percy Jackson.

The Lightning Thief
Annabeth first appears after Percy wakes up from his fight with the Minotaur. She was nursing him back to health and quickly asked him if he knew anything about the Summer Solstice and what was stolen. However, Percy was still confused and didn't know what she was talking about. Percy didn't actually learn Annabeth's name until Grover took Percy to see Mr. D and Chiron called Annabeth over and asked her to make sure Percy's bunk in Cabin 11 was ready. Annabeth told Percy that he drooled in his sleep before heading off to Cabin 11. Percy then met her out front of Cabin 11 and saw she was reading an architecture book in Greek.

Percy later questioned why he couldn't just pick a cabin to stay in and Annabeth explained that the cabin depends on who the demigod's godly parent is. Annabeth also correctly guessed that Percy had been kicked out of a lot of schools, moved around a lot, had dyslexia, and most likely ADHD as well when Percy tried to deny that he was a demigod. Then, Clarisse La Rue interrupted and tried to dunk Percy's head in the bathroom toilets, but he prevented this from happening by controlling the water. Annabeth was impressed to the point that she wanted Percy on her team for Capture the Flag. During the game, Annabeth used Percy as bait for Clarisse, knowing she would want revenge on him. After Percy managed to defeat Clarisse, Annabeth noticed his wounds healing as he stood in the water, and she figured out that he was a son of Poseidon. Later, after Percy visited the Oracle of Delphi and got a prophecy, Grover and Annabeth volunteered to help on the quest.

After being driven into NYC by Argus, the trio was quickly found by the Furies. Annabeth gave her cap to Percy, who snuck past them. The Furies went after Annabeth, demanding to know where "it" [Hades' helm] was. After the bus crashed, they found their way to 'Aunty Em's Gnome Emporium'. While Percy quickly fell for Aunty Em's kindness, Annabeth and Grover became suspicious and soon realized that the old woman was Medusa. Annabeth became worried because it was her mother who had turned Medusa into a monster. When Medusa wanted to "take a picture" of the three, Annabeth quickly realized that Medusa was going to turn them into stone. Later, Annabeth began to have thoughts that Hades was the one that took Master Bolt. She also told Percy that he couldn't make deals with Hades, but when Percy asked her what would happen if Hades took her father, as Percy wanted his mother back, Annabeth angrily said she would leave her dad to rot. When Annabeth saw the Gateway Arch, she brightened, stating that she hoped to become an architect. After getting on a train out of the city, they arrived in Denver and Annabeth showed Percy how to Iris-Message. They got a hold of Luke instead of Chiron, and Annabeth messed with her hair and tried to make herself look prettier for Luke. While at a diner, Ares appeared and offered them a ride if they would retrieve something for him. Annabeth later became embarrassed because the item was in the "Thrill Ride O' Love" and she had to get inside with Percy. However, she agreed, but a trap made by Hephaestus was activated once she got in, hundreds of thousands of metal spiders flooding the ride, leaving Annabeth was paralyzed with fear. Afterward, Annabeth figured out the best time to jump off of the ride. After Grover fell asleep in the truck, the ride Ares had promised, Annabeth talked to Percy about the beads on her camp necklace and eventually opened up about her rocky relationship with her father. While in Las Vegas, they arrived at the Lotus Hotel and Casino where Annabeth enjoyed an architecture game and only left the place (because it was a trap) until the word "spider" was said.

Once reaching the Underworld, Annabeth helped the trio pass Cerberus by pulling out a rubber ball and playing fetch with him, claiming that she used to train a Doberman Pinscher at her father's house. When they arrived at Hades' Palace, Annabeth was respectful to the god and informed him of a war approaching among the gods, but Percy quickly asked for the Master Bolt. Hades erupted into anger at this, claiming that Percy not only took the Master Bolt, but his Helm of Darkness as well. To escape from a furious Hades, Percy pulled out three pearls that his father had given him, and the trio escaped. However, Ares soon appeared when the trio left, and revealed everything. Percy angrily challenged Ares to a fight, and Annabeth gave Percy her necklace for luck. Later, Annabeth and Percy both figured out that Kronos was in the pit.

When Percy was poisoned by Luke while he was revealing himself to be an agent of Kronos, Percy woke up the next morning in the Big House with Annabeth tending to him once again, mirroring Percy's first arrival at camp. He explained what had happened with Luke, causing Annabeth to become shocked and then angry at Luke, cursing his name. Annabeth then spends her time helping Percy recover and admits that she will spend a year with her dad, as she had sent a letter to him shortly after arriving at camp. Percy and Annabeth then said their goodbyes, calling the other Wise Girl and Seaweed Brain respectively.

The Sea of Monsters
Annabeth returned once again to help Percy save the camp, though this time as friends, the previous tension between them as a result of their parentage was resolved by Percy's offer to put their differences aside. Annabeth arrives at Percy's new school to tell him what has happened at camp, but is wearing her cap so no one notices her. During gym, a group of Laistrygonian Giants attack Percy, but Percy, along with Tyson, fight them off and Annabeth stabs the last on the back, making her presence known. She then takes Percy and Tyson with her to camp using the Gray Sisters' Taxi. While at camp, Annabeth and Percy decide to work together to make a chariot like their parents for the upcoming Chariot Race, but because of Annabeth's fear of Tyson, they have a fight and work on their own chariots. They do make up after an attack by some Stymphalian Birds because Thalia's tree is dying and the borders are weakening. After a dream Percy has, Annabeth realizes that Grover found the Golden Fleece and ask Tantalus for a quest to get it, but he gives the quest to Clarisse. However, that night they sneak aboard a ship passing by the camp with some help from Hermes and Poseidon to search for the fleece themselves.

The ship they arrive on is the Princess Andromeda, a monster ship with Luke on it and they are forced to escape. Annabeth leads them to an old hideout used by her, Luke, and Thalia. She also tells Percy after sending Tyson outside why she hates cyclopes, (Another impersonated her friend Thalia and Luke trying to capture her also) until Tyson comes back with a hydra nearby. After battling the hydra with little effect, Clarisse arrives and takes them with her on her ship, the C.S.S. Birmingham, to the Sea of Monsters. After entering the sea, Percy and Annabeth are split up from everyone else when Clarisse's submarine explodes and arrive at C.C.'s Spa and Resort. While Annabeth is given a full makeover, Percy is turned into a guinea pig. Annabeth outsmarts Circe and uses one of Hermes' multivitamins to turn Percy back and make them immune to magic for a short time. She then puts her knife to Circe's neck, and threatens her. They escape using Blackbeard's ship. Annabeth hears the Siren's song while on the boat, and although she'd convinced Percy to tie her to the mast, he forgot to disarm] her and she got hypnotized by the song. The song showed her the things she wants most; her parents together, Luke as his normal self, and a redesigned Manhattan. It is confirmed that her Fatal Flaw is hubris, also known as pride, being a child of Athena.

They eventually make it to Polyphemus' island where Grover and Clarisse are being held captive. In order to provide a distraction, she puts on her invisible Yankees cap and tells the cyclops she is "Nobody," angering him to no end as he smashes rocks and stops around, eventually capturing her. She is freed when Percy tells Polyphemus he is "Nobody," since Annabeth was a girl. He lets he go and Percy manages to defeat his half brother and take the fleece. They all eventually sail out of the Sea of Monsters and Annabeth and Percy give Clarisse enough money for a plane ticket back to camp. After she leaves, they are attacked by Luke for the fleece, but when he finds out they don't have it, Annabeth is forced to watch Luke and Percy fight each other. Percy manages to trick Luke into revealing he poisoned Thalia's Tree by sending an Iris Message to Camp Half-Blood behind Luke and getting him to admit he did it, proving that Chiron was innocent. Chiron and the Party Ponies come to their rescue and they return to camp.

Annabeth and Percy teamed up to win the chariot race waged between the cabins of the camp. Following their victory, Annabeth's perpetual façade of calm cracked slightly when she kissed Percy on the cheek. Afterward, while Annabeth is doing patrol for the camp, the fleece's magic works too well, causing Thalia's pine tree to 'give back' Thalia's spirit, causing Thalia to come back to life.

The Titan's Curse
Annabeth, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Percy_Jackson Percy], and [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Thalia_Grace Thalia] enter a school looking for two demigods that Grover had been looking after. They are stopped in a hallway by [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Dr._Thorn Dr. Thorn] and Ms. Gottschalk, but Thalia uses the Mist to convince them they were students. He lets them pass and the three go to the dance looking for the demigods and Grover. Annabeth and Percy start dancing and Annabeth says she has something very important to tell him, but are interrupted when Nico and Bianca disappear. Annabeth goes to get Thalia and Grover while Percy rushes off to find the demigods only to be captured. When Annabeth and Thalia attack Dr. Thorn, the Hunters arrive to help fight it off. During the fight, Annabeth jumps on Dr. Thorn's back to stab him, but they both end up going over a cliff and vanish. [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Artemis Artemis] says she will track down Dr. Thorn as the Goddess of the Hunt and she ordered the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Hunters_of_Artemis Hunters] to go to [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Half-Blood Camp Half-Blood]. Percy has a dream that Annabeth sees Luke holding up the sky and pleading for Annabeth to take it from him. Annabeth does so, right before the 'ceiling' collapsed on him, and Luke walks away, leaving her there alone. When he wakes up, Grover tells Percy that Annabeth was asked to join the hunters and that was what she wanted to talk to him about at the dance.

Later, Percy has another dream where Annabeth is still holding the sky and in order to trap Artemis, he tells her that if she doesn't take the sky from Annabeth, she will surely die from the weight. Artemis takes the sky and Annabeth falls to the ground and carried away by Luke who decides to use her as bait for the other demigods.The [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Oracle_of_Delphi Oracle of Delphi] gave one of her ever-cryptic prophecies, and off went Percy, Thalia, Grover, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Bianca_di_Angelo Bianca di Angelo], and the Huntress, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Zo%C3%AB_Nightshade Zoë Nightshade], in pursuit of Artemis and Annabeth and the monster which Artemis was chasing after. [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Aphrodite Aphrodite], Goddess of Love and Beauty, convinced Percy that his love for Annabeth was worthwhile, though she also made it incredibly harder for them to fall in love. Though Percy was originally not included in the quest, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Nico_di_Angelo Nico di Angelo] pleaded to him and convinced him to follow them to protect his sister, Bianca. He was seemingly unable to leave the fate of his best friend in the hands of others. After a prolonged quest, which included the loss of Bianca in the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Junkyard_of_the_Gods Junkyard of the Gods] battle to a prototype of [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Talos Talos] made by the forge god [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Hephaestus Hephaestus], the group arrived at the ruins of the Titans' palace, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Mount_Othrys Mount Othrys] in [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/San_Francisco San Francisco], California, and found Annabeth, with a grey streak in her hair as a result of holding the sky and [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Artemis Artemis], who was struggling under the weight of the sky; both captives of Luke and Atlas. Upon the re-imprisonment of the Titan General [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Atlas Atlas], the death of Zoë, and the apparent death of Luke (or so they thought, except Annabeth), Annabeth was saved by Percy and the others, along with her mortal father, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Frederick_Chase Frederick Chase] who attacked the monsters chasing the group using the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Celestial_bronze celestial bronze] bullets that he had made from things Annabeth had left behind when she ran away from home. Also, Annabeth's stepmother shows care for Annabeth in this book when she tells Percy that even though she knows that Annabeth is a demigod and can't live in San Francisco because of [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Mount_Orthys Mount Orthys], the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Titan Titan] base camp, she still has a home with them and can come anytime she wants. It is strongly hinted in this book that Annabeth was considering to join the Hunters of Artemis at the book's beginning, which is what she might have intended to tell [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Percy_Jackson Percy] during their dance at Westover Hall, only for her to get interrupted. This theory is further supported by Percy later finding a Hunter brochure in her backpack, and [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Aphrodite Aphrodite] later telling him that Annabeth was close to joining the Hunters ranks. By the end of the book, however, Annabeth has clearly changed her mind on the subject permanently. Right after the battle, Blackjack and his companions arrive and take Annabeth and her friends to Olympus in time for the winter solstice meeting. Annabeth is appalled when her mother votes to eliminate Thalia and Percy due to the dangers of the Great Prophecy. Upon seeing Athena with Percy, Annabeth realizes that she was giving him a hard time to her further grief. She puts this aside for now as she and Percy resume their dance from Westover Hall.

The Battle of the Labyrinth
Annabeth is now 14 years old. She and Percy were supposed to go to the movies after his orientation day into his new school, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Goode_High_School Goode]. However, their plans are interrupted when Percy blows up part of the school in a fight with some monsters, [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Kelli Kelli] and [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Tammi Tammi], who were [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Empousai empousai] in the forms of cheerleaders. Her possessiveness for Percy is revealed when she becomes annoyed at him after she finds him escaping with the mortal girl. She has a fight with Percy and refuses to speak to him during the journey to Camp Half-Blood. Once back at camp, Percy and Annabeth accidentally discover an entrance to the under the rock pile known as [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Zeus's_Fist Zeus's Fist] while on a camp game designed personally by [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Quintus Quintus]. She realizes that Luke can use this entrance to invade the camp at any moment unexpected. Annabeth leads the quest into the Labyrinth, fulfilling one of her many ambitions at last. While studying the Labyrinth, Percy walks in on her. Annabeth was frustrated and held out her arms so Percy could give her a hug. He remarks that her hair smelled like lemon soap. Later, Annabeth descends into the Labyrinth with Percy, Grover, and Tyson (Percy's half-brother and a very good [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Cyclops Cyclops]) to find a way to stop Kronos' evil forces from invading the borders of Camp Half-Blood by searching for its inventor, Daedalus. The [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Oracle_of_Delphi Oracle of Delphi] gave her a prophecy which appears to have scared her and she refuses to say the last line. As they go into the Labyrinth, they face and fight many monsters. Annabeth faces a [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Sphinx Sphinx] and finds its riddles (which were actually factual questions) not challenging enough and an insult to her intellect. They escape the claws of the Sphinx and continue on to find [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Hephaestus Hephaestus] in one of his many forges so he can tell them about where to find [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Daedalus Daedalus] and his workshop in the Labyrinth. Annabeth believes that Percy will die when [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Mount_Saint_Helens Mount Saint Helens] erupts but right before he goes in she kisses him for good luck. Percy was instead marooned on the phantom island of [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Ogygia Ogygia] when he tried his best to fight the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Telekhines telekhines], half-dog half-monsters, who were perpetrating Hephaestus's once favorite of all of his many forges, where the sad but seductive [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Calypso Calypso] resides. When Annabeth sees Percy return (while she is burning his shroud, believing him to be dead) she hugs him fiercely, but quickly lets go when she realizes she is making a big scene in front of all the other campers. When she finds out what happened to Percy after he tells her and [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Chiron Chiron] in Chiron's office in the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Big_House Big House], Annabeth angrily exits after guessing where he was stranded and obviously feeling jealous. Percy asks mortal [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Rachel_Elizabeth_Dare Rachel Elizabeth Dare], much to Annabeth's dismay. Annabeth makes several offending remarks toward Rachel, who simply shrugs them off and after a long while, Annabeth accepts her as their guide. The three of them discover Luke, who has become Kronos' vessel. After the Battle of the Labyrinth from the entrance of the Labyrinth under Zeus's Fist in the woods, Luke and his army are forced back into the [./ https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/Labyrinth Labyrinth], leaving after causing many, but only two named casualties.
