I first began reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan when I was a freshman in high school. The pairing of ancient mythological lore and the all-too-relevant struggles of growing up made the entire series undeniable. Like Percy, my place in the world seemed uncertain. While I did not have to face down Medusa, the Fates, or Kronos, changing friendships and feeling the weight of the world on one’s shoulders were themes in the book that I resonated with well. Still, all these years later, I am still left wondering who I would have been if I were a character in the Percy Jackson series. Did I have the wits to keep up with Annabeth? Would Nico and I have bonded over our deepest secrets? Perhaps I’d have surprised myself with unexpected skill in hand-to-hand combat or befriended a pegasus. (Even though I’m actually pretty shy with animals). Here’s your chance to find out how you would have fit into the Percy Jackson and the Olympians universe.
