Five things you need to know about: Jason Grace

#1: Jason used to be terrified of flying

Though this still embarasses him today, when he was younger, Jason was actually very, very afraid of flying. Everytime he saw a plane, he screamed out in fear and hid behind his mother's legs, while Thalia tried very hard not to laugh at him. He quickly got over his fear, however, when he was at his first year at Camp Jupiter and he had accidentally fallen off of one of the towers. Needless to say, none of them expected the blonde boy to suddenly fly into the sky, whooping and screaming.

#2: Jason thinks about Piper a lot

He couldn't help it. He thought about her kaleidoscope eyes, her beautiful, red lips, her chocolate skin that actually smelled like chocolate. Whenever he imagined beauty, he didn't even picture Aphrodite. All he ever saw was Piper. Some people accused him of falling in love with Piper because of, well, her Aphrodite hotness. But, Jason actually fell in love with Piper before he even saw her. He was sitting at one of the campfires at Camp Half-Blood when he heard the most beautiful laugh ringing in the night. He raced over to where it was from, and was breath-taken when he saw it was from a beautiful girl laughing at a white marshmallow stuck in her hair.

#3: He once punched a guy on Piper's behalf

Jason liked to think of himself of the chill guy, the guy who went wherever the wind took him (literally). But since he was the son of Jupiter, his temperament tolerance was pretty low. The slightest act of rudeness or ignorance was enough to set him off. This had happened one time when he was out on a date with Piper in New Rome, and a son of Mars had sauntered up to her and plopped himself down next to her. This already ticked off Jason because he knew exactly who this guy was, but he was also determined not to ruin Piper's night. After several annoying (and blatantly inappropriate) pick-up lines, Jason was starting to getting very, very angry. Couldn't he tell that Piper was his girlfriend or was he blind? He started moving in to kiss Piper on the lips, and she attempted shoving him off, but one look at her face was all it took for Jason to launch himself on the boy and punch his lights out. Needless to say, the boy was in the infirmary for several days.

#4: The person Jason admires the most is probably Thalia

Sure, Jason loved Piper the most, and resented his mother the most, but the person who held his admiration was Thalia. Ever since he was little, with his wide, wet Electric blue eyes, the only person he ever saw was Thalia. She would sit in front of Jason, pick him up by his chubby arms, and waddle with him around their apartment. His mother (before she went insane, of course) even took pictures of them. Ever since then, Jason saw Thalia not only as his big sister, but as his protector, savior, guide, companion, and friend. He thought that they would be inseparable, and boy was he wrong.

#5: For a short period of time, Jason really liked Reyna

Long before he met Piper, Reyna was the only girl at Camp Jupiter he could actually stand talking to. And he meant that he could literally stand talking to her, considering he had to fly away from the others. He was pretty positive Reyna didn't even know he liked her, and sure, he still intends to keep it that way. But something about Reyna, maybe her strong sense of loyalty or her shiny, black hair captivated him. Then, as if in a second, Jason fell head-first in love with a beautiful girl named Piper McLean, and slowly, every day, his thoughts on Reyna slowly drifted into thoughts of Piper. Even to this day, Jason still feels guilty whenever he sees the Praetor strolling around New Rome all by herself, knowing that, perhaps, in another universe, he could have been the one right next to her.
