Rachel Elizabeth Dare is Percy's only human love interest. Before The Last Olympian, Percy notes that he spent a great deal of time with Rachel. He stated that while he was in the mortal world, he could always call Rachel and she'd be there so they could hang out together. In the beginning of The Last Olympian, the two are seen on the beach in Paul Blofis's Prius driving around. Percy says it was as if his dad were keeping the sea nice, just for them.When he was in third grade, a large man followed Percy around when he was at school, but by threatening to call the police, the teachers eventually got the man to leave. However, nobody believed Percy when he said that the man had just one big eye. They thought he was hallucinating. Though he has met with his father only occasionally, Percy cares much for Poseidon’s approval and developed a strong pride for him, though he recognizes when Poseidon does something stupid or horrible.

After the ordeal, Percy bid his goodbye to Kymopoleia and told her Briares was a good man and to give him a chance, but she refused. She also told him the gods will want his blood and that he has yet to face his fatal flaw: being unable to step away. She said he would face a sacrifice he is unwilling to make and it would cost him the world. He insisted he would not run when his friends needed him. She then told him the forces of the ocean were fighting for him and they may not survive.

When they arrive in Mount Olympus, the winter solstice meeting had already begun, and they begged Zeus to believe that Kronos was indeed rising. Thalia then chose to be a lieutenant with Artemis to replace Zoë, before giving Percy a hug. When he said she wasn't allowed to do that anymore (as Hunters can't become attached to males), she says she was merely honoring a friend. The gods then voted if they should kill Percy as he is the only known child of the Big Three to reach sixteen for the Great Prophecy in two years. Fortunately, many of the gods vote to let him live after Artemis declares that if he is killed, then the gods are then no better than the Titans. Poseidon also vouches to let the Ophiotaurus live, although kept in Mount Olympus so it wouldn't be a "bargaining chip" against the other gods. Before Percy leaves Olympus, Poseidon tells Percy in private that he has done well and he is proud of him. Percy and Annabeth go off to resume their unfinished dance from Westover Hall. In Camp Half-Blood Confidential, Percy and Nico are good friends. Percy, along with the rest of camp, supported Nico and knew about his relationship with Will Solace. At the campfire, Percy stared at Nico, stunned, when he sang and danced to a rendition of the hokey pokey. When Nico told the Camp about the orientation video, Percy told him to look at what he started. Nico asked if he should stop them, and Percy smiled and said no and said to get popcorn ready. Percy and Nico later did the FAQ, where they both got annoyed at Annabeth when she yelled at them, yelling her name in unison.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians | Rick Riordan

Not that powerful, eh? Could have fooled me. You're the son of the Earth-shaker, lad. You don't know your own strength.Twelfth Legion's Eagle: Percy seized the Eagle from the undead army of the frozen Roman Camp on the Hubbard Glacier during The Son of Neptune. He later used it during the battle at Camp Jupiter, where he used its lightning to destroy hundreds of monsters before passing it to Dakota. Water Immunity: If he falls from great heights into water, Percy will be unaffected by any amount of water pressure. He doesn't get wet if submerged in water unless he wants to. Additionally, Percy can breathe underwater for unlimited amounts of time and see in the darkness underwater. He is only unable to breathe in the River Styx. While in a weakened state in The Demigod Files, Percy had to actively concentrate to use this power underwater in the River Lethe, either because of his injuries, the river's innate power or both. Percy notes that the small effort of staying dry - something that he had done countless times in normal water - was almost more than he could handle. Later, while grappling with Iapetus, Percy remained dry when he pulled the Titan into the river, possibly aided by Poseidon as Percy prayed to his father that his protection would hold as he pulled Iapetus in. At the same time, the current, which should've ripped the Titan out of Percy's hands, channeled around them, leaving both Percy and Iapetus alone. Nico later helped Percy escape and swore on the River Styx and said he didn’t know what he was planning, but Percy was angry and wanted to strangle him, but knew there was no point in arguing. They escaped and Percy gave Nico ambrosia to heal from his fight, and caught him before he passed out again. After Nico and Percy met with Achilles, Nico had second thoughts on Percy bathing in the river, but Percy said it was his idea and to wait for him, and that if he died, he could be the hero of the prophecy. Nico was very scared when Percy woke up and asked if he was alright, and tried to protect him from his father and his soldiers. After it was done, Percy told Nico to stay in the underworld and help his father, since he owed him, which made Nico believe that he didn't trust him and apologized to him, which Percy didn’t accept. It is later revealed that Nico tried to make Percy fall in love with him by bathing in the Styx. In The Sea of Monsters, Percy and Luke fight aboard the Princess Andromeda and it is shown that while Percy was at first confident in his abillity to beat Luke in a duel, he was actually terrified at the prospect of combating Luke in swordplay as he recognised how skilled Luke is. Percy has him reveal that he was the one who poisoned Thalia's Pine Tree to the entire Camp Half-Blood. When Luke was supposedly killed in The Titan's Curse, despite at first showing evident horror at Luke's terrific death, Percy is told by his father that Luke was not dead and that he was alive causing him to become angry and filled with more hate towards Luke. During The Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy witnesses Luke become taken over by Kronos and before that he thrown into a fight against a giant by him. Furthermore, Percy showed signs of jealousy toward Luke because of Annabeth's affection toward Luke (and Percy's growing feelings for Annabeth at the time).
