Percy Jackson, a fictional contemporary hero from the book Percy Jackson & The Olympians, is a half-blood that has recently learned of his demigod ancestry. His father is Poseidon and his mother is a mortal, and there are many evil beings and other demigods out to get him. As a hero, he faces the evil plotting of gods trying to overthrow one another and underworld beings trying to annihilate him. From fighting a Minotaur before even knowing his demigod abilities to being stung by a scorpion and left for dead, Jackson was constantly hunted.
Percy confronts this evil, not only because he must fight for his life, but to save the world in hope of protecting his mother and the world. His motivation is his mother’s death as he flees to Camp Half-Blood. Her death pushes Jackson to train with his demigod abilities and face the evils that threaten the human realm. Percy goes to the Underworld to confront Hades and get his mother’s life back.
Percy Jackson represents the virtue “kindness.” He is known as a loyal, compassionate demigod within Camp Half-Blood. He refuses to leave his friends in the middle of a fight and sees the good in people, humans, gods, and demigods alike. Furthermore, Percy could also represent the virtue “temperance.” Not only does he believe in justice, but Jackson also has a great sense of honor in all the things he does. Percy is a great, fictional character that fights to the death to defend what he believes in.
