03. How did you find out about the Percy Jackson series? I always like Greek Mythology, and my friend was reading PJO series before me but I wan't really interested in it, with no specific reason at all. Then one day my teacher gave an assignment for us to read a novel in class, i've finished up all of my novels and i'm desperate to find one. To tell you the truth I actually read The Lost Hero first before PJO series but then I instantly fell in love with Rick Riordan's works and decided to buy all the PJO series, and finished all 5 books in two weeks.
the oracle
04. What do you wish to accomplish in life? To be happy with everything I have and do. Really, happy is one the most important thing in life for me If you're happy everything you do, seems like it'll be easy :) And to have a promising career and beautiful family. Yeah, I always planned things like this specifically in mind.
05. What type of magical object would you like to have? I want the hair clip bow that Bianca found in Hephaestus' junkyard! I always like bows, I think it's one of the most versatile weapon and it's long-range, you'll be far away from people who would harm you. And the idea of a bow that can shrink into a hair clip is just cool. You can wear it when you're not in danger.
06. What makes you like or dislike a person? I'm not really into people who's all talk but can do nothing and people who showed off a lot. Also, people whose actions contradicted the words they said. And people who makes me do all the talk while they just listen makes me kind of uncomfortable.
07. Are you a leader or a follower? I think I'm a leader. Because seriously, everyone voted me for class president, and when there are group projects, I usually become the one who leads the group whether I like it or not. And I can't stand being a follower of someone who's not a really skillful leader and got carried away by other people a lot. When that happens I usually become the unofficial leader.
08. What would you consider your fatal flaw? I think of other people's opinion of my actions too much. Sometimes when I want to do something I started thinking 'what will other people think of me?' and then I realized I should just be me and do what I want but still, people's opinion bothers me a lot.
09. What do you think are your top five best qualities?
01. Nice - Yes, I think I can't stand making other people sad because of me. I usually think of other people's feeling a lot before I talk. Well, sometimes not but a lot of time, yes.
02. Diligent - When I get a job/homework/assignments to do, I usually do it right away and think a lot of it. Like, I don't want it to suck and want a good grade for it. Sometimes procrastination and laziness won me over but most of the time, yes I'm diligent.
03. Optimistic - I think I'm pretty optimistic until the point when it's impossible, I still think it's possible. I always try to see every good side of everything because that's what makes me happy.
04. Curiosity - I wonder a lot about everything. I learned a lot about things by myself. When I was little, I learned to read the clock and write by myself. And I liked studying a lot before. Not as much now, but yeah. Curiosity won me over.
05. Confident - Since I was little I'm never afraid of talking in front of people or perform something. I always think 'why not?' or 'what to lose?', and then raised my hand.
10. What do you think are your top five worst qualities?
01. Emotional - I show my emotions a lot and sometimes it can be, excessive if I may say. Oh and yes, I cry a lot. When I'm sad, angry, and really happy tears just rolled out of my eyes.
02. Ignorant - Sometimes I don't care about things except when I'm involved in it. But when there are things that caught my attention, I pay so much attention to it.
03. Self-Conscius - I'm worried that people hate me or are talking bad about me behind my back. It always gives this uneasy feeling in me and sometimes I just can't do the things that I want to do because I'm afraid of what will people think of me
04. Indecisive - I can't make up my mind on even the simplest thing. I always think about 'what if' and afraid that my decision will be worse than the other option I didn't pick.
05. Moody - Sometimes I'm angry with no particular and started blaming everything and anything else for it.
the series
11. Who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Percy! Because we see PJO series through his narration, we can really understand Percy's personality and he's just so caring, awkward, innocent, yet funny and full of sarcasm at the same time.So, yes. I simply adore him.
12. Who is your least favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Eeerm, this question is kind of tough. Maybe Zoe Nightshade because she's so sexist and hates boys so much. I mean, it's wrong to misjudge people (in her case, boys) like that without knowing about them before because everyone is different. But I don't hate her. If you're talking about the character I dislike maybe it would be Hera, because her idea of family kind of bothers me.
13. If you could spend a day with one of the Percy Jackson characters, who would you choose and why? I like people that I can have fun and be happy with so I think I'm going to choose Percy because he's so easy-going and has a laid-back personality, not to mention hilarious sarcasm. It would be fun just talking and hanging out with him.
14. What is something you would change about the series? I hope they show more of Silena and Beckendorf's relationship because I like this pairing but there's a lack of interactions between them. Not too much, but a little bit more would be great.
15. What is something you would never change about the series? The concept and theme of the story and the way Rick Riordan tells the story by Percy's point of view. Greek mythology in the modern world = brilliant idea!
etc
16. Pick a fictional character from any book/movie/tv show/etc. Which cabin would you place them in and more importantly why? Hermione Granger from Harry Potter would totally fit in the Athena cabin. It's like she devoted her life to study and she's always the planner and strategist.
16.Sort these words in order of appeal to you: beauty - glory - security - power - wealth - self-fulfillment - freedom. Explain your answer. Self-fulfilment comes first, if I feel fulfilled the others would be easy and more meaningful to me. Beauty comes second, both in the context of inner and outer beauty because I think it's an important part of self-fulfilment. Freedom, because if you're free then you can do anything and be anything you want to be.Then security, because the feeling and the thought of being safe is very relaxing to me. After that wealth because if you're wealthy things will be just, easier. I have a bit of difficulty about the last two because I think both are really related. Maybe power first, then glory. Because power can make people respect and do things you want while glory is kind of associated to win-lose situation, a situation that I don't really like especially when I'm in the losing side.
17. Which god do you feel the least likeness towards? Janus because with what I've seen in the Battle of the Labyrinth he's all about right or wrong, good and bad, making decisions etc. I hate making decisions to important things. It always worries me.
