Jason Grace

Personality:   Jason Grace was a very responsible, kind, and open-minded person. Since he was not given a point of view until The Heroes of Olympus, much of his retroactive personality and quirks must be deduced from his memories and friendships but it was the general consensus that all who knew him thought him to be a very honorable and selfless demigod. Much of Jason's personality derived from how his parentage caused him to be placed on a pedestal. On the outside, a lot of people initially regarded Jason as too perfect and straight-laced, with Reyna even thinking of him as the perfect 'all-American boy.' Due to the duality of Hera's scheme to join the camps, Jason was often seen as the opposite of Percy which causes people who really like Percy (like Annabeth and Hazel) to initially dislike/distrust Jason. In actuality, Jason was more similar than dissimilar to Percy. As centurion and then praetor, Jason mentions that there were multiple times when he chafed against the stringent rules and expectations of the legion. Although Jason followed rules and obeyed authority most of the time, he was actually a staunch proponent of change whenever he noticed someone was being treated unfairly. This can seen when he stood up to Zeus and called him 'unwise' for blaming the entirety of the Gaia crisis Apollo; or again when he dedicates himself towards giving minor gods the respect and recognition they deserve. Jason had a tough time figuring out who he was and who he wanted to be. He came to resent being a son of Jupiter and thought his parentage was trapping him into a destiny he couldn't control - he hated that he was forced to be a leader, and treated like a prince-in-waiting. Jason's stay at Camp Half-Blood was quite transformative for him and without the pressure of the legion he becomes much more laid-back and introspective. He begins to break rules and crack jokes. He even allows his hair to grow out and become messier. Even though he enjoys his time there, it causes Jason to have an identity crisis because he feels as though he was betraying his roots and the people who have for so long followed him and given him a home. Jason thought he solved it by deciding to be Greek and resigning as Praetor in the House of Hades, but he questioned who he was even more after being stabbed by Michael Varus in Ithaca. Finally, as he faced Kymopoleia, Jason realized that he was both Greek and Roman. Both camps were a part of his family, and he decided to become a Pontifex Maximus. Afterwards he had no problem accepting his parentage and recognized Zeus as his father just as much as Jupiter. It should be noted that Jason's tumultuous childhood left him with deep-seated abandonment issues. Being deprived of the presence and memory of his sister and mother, he often felt alone and grew up believing he came from nothing. It was due to this, that what he learned at the Wolf House became the very formative pillars of his character - such as not showing weakness or insecurity, which sometimes caused others to see him as aloof and cold. He thinks of rules as promises he needs to keep, which was why he always hesitates before breaking them. A particular point of pain for Jason was learning about the life and subsequent death of his mother, and seeing her mania at Ithaca left him distressed. Jason can also be too noble and brave and often disregards his own safety for the sake of his loved ones, such as when he challenged Porphyrion without a weapon and dueled the emperor Caligula by himself, subsequently resulting in his own death. Jason was also quite oblivious of peoples romantic feelings towards him (similar to Percy). Jason didn't realize that Reyna had a crush on him for years despite them being very close. Jason also didn't know Reyna was "cursed" by Aphrodite while the rest of Camp Jupiter did. Jason also didn't realize that Piper was jealous of Reyna while other Argo II members did, like Annabeth Chase and Hazel. However despite this lack of self-awareness, one of Jason's defining features was that he was very caring and often tries to help his loved ones overcome personal wassues.There are countless examples of this within the series such as Jason befriending Nico and immediately being accepting and supportive of his sexuality when he was outed by Cupid; Jason always befriending the unpopular kids at Camp Jupiter; and throughout The Lost Hero always trying to make Leo feel confident and wanted. He knew his friends very well and was the only person who can read Reyna's body language and understand when she was weary and tired, something other people cannot notice. It was in part because of his loving and enduring personality that his death was felt far and wide by all who knew him and even those who didn't. Lastly, Jason's honorable personality made him favored by the gods. Hera considers Jason to be her champion and holds a motherly love for him. Athena approves of Jason and Artemis thanks him in The Blood of Olympus. Zeus [before Jason spoke against him] was proud of his son for his bravery during the quest. Apollo loved Jason dearly (despite not knowing him for long).
