(Spoilers for Percy Jackson and the Olympians)
The moment you've all been waiting for!!! The final part of "Where They Were and Where They Are"! So Hunger Games can be a little depressing to think about, but luckily with Percy Jackson we can generally all be satisfied with the outcomes of the characters.
Percy starts off a kid who gets into a lot of trouble. He doesn't have very many friends. He gets kicked out of every school he goes to. His mom married a horrible guy, his family is really poor and his super sweet mom just can't seem to make it. In the end, Percy's new stepdad is a lot better for him and his mom. He's the demigod hero of the universe. He has a girlfriend (YES!) and tons of friends. He has almost everything he didn't have in the beginning.
Annabeth was a twelve-year-old who thought she knew everything. She pretty much ruled over Camp Half-Blood and thought she was amazing because her mother was Athena. She was determined Percy was the hero and that they shouldn't be friends. She loved Grover, missed Thalia, and hated her mortal family. Annabeth changed a lot too. She grew up to actually be a leader at Camp Half-Blood instead of just thinking so. She and Percy became more than friends and she didn't have to miss Thalia anymore because she was alive again. She could be happy with her mortal family. (The loving Grover thing didn't change, though.)
All we know about Grover is that he's a crip who is Percy's only friend because of how wimpy he is. He turns out to be pretty much the exact opposite of that. Grover is a brave person who will do anything for his friends. He was never a crip, he was a satyr. And in the end, he's not just any satyr, but a searcher, and a successful one too. He even faces his fear of Cyclopes, not to mention a few other things.
The first time we technically meet Thalia, she's a tree. When we meet her as a human, she's a tough, Huntress-hating, powerful and totally awesome daughter of Zeus, and she didn't hate Percy, she didn't love him, he was her friend except for when he irritated her. Thalia didn't change that much. But where she did change, she changed a lot. She and Percy became really great friends. And not only did she stop hating the Huntresses, but she actually BECAME a Huntress. Talk about plot twist.
When we meet Nico, he's a nerdy ten-year old kid who loved Mythomagic. He irritated the heck out of Percy and pretty much everyone else, but his sister loved him and would do anything for him. In the end he doesn't have a sister, and that pretty much changed everything about him. he wasn't a nerdy, sweet ten-year-old kid anymore. He grew up fast. He was tough and deadly, and despite the fact that he hated Percy after Bianca's death, they became friends.
It appears this is the end! And at least we got to end on a relatively happy note :)
