3. I'm naturally a dirty blonde that was commonly mistaken for brown. Since Percy wasn't waxing poetic about 'chocolate locks', I would say her hair, canonly, is dark blonde/light brown.
That's exactly my thought on Clarisse. I'm the same, so I've always assumed upon reading this particular "error". Which I'm not even considering an error because I know a lot of people mistake me for a brunette at first glance, but my driver's license and birth certificate both clearly state 'dark ash blonde'. Brown and dirty blonde seem to go hand-in-hand it seems.
Oh yeah, sorry. I originally read the Australian release paperbacks and I'm currently reading the American hardbacks, and everything I mentioned is in both sets :)
I think you're probably right about the Clarisse thing, just thought I'd add it to the list anyway, and yeah, I didn't want this to come off as me hating on Riordan, cos nothing could be further from the truth. It probably is little typos that just weren't picked up on. Having said that, this sort of stuff should be picked up by his editor ...
