in love with Jason Grace, which is shown throughout the series. Several characters like Percy, Annabeth, Piper, and Hazel have noticed Reyna's romantic feelings for Jason. In The Mark of Athena, Annabeth noticed that Reyna had a hungry sort of gleam in her eyes when she reunited with Jason Grace. Eventually, Annabeth sensed that Reyna wanted Jason to love her back. In The House of Hades, Jason felt guilty for letting her believe they had a future together. In The Blood of Olympus, she daydreams about romantic activities with Jason like "romantic walks" and "sunset picnics". When Jason had disappeared for 6–8 months, she briefly considered Percy a romantic partner. In The Tyrant's Tomb, Reyna is revealed to be asexual and has always felt pressured to take a romantic partner, but didn't understand why she never truly felt an attachment to anyone until Apollo hits on her. Following the Battle of San Francisco Bay, Reyna resigns as praetor and instead joins the Hunters of Artemis. In The Tower of Nero, after becoming a god once again, Apollo encounters Reyna who is settling in well with the Hunters and has been mentoring Leo Valdez in his behavior towards Calypso. Leo Valdez Leo Valdez is a son of Hephaestus. He likes to joke around and relies on his sense of humor to bury the pain he feels as a result of his troubled past. He is described as having curly brown hair, brown eyes, a cheerful face, a slim and scrawny build, dark skin, and a mischievous smile. He is Hispanic-American and speaks Spanish. Leo has the ability to create and manipulate fire, a skill that no child of Hephaestus has had for 400 years. He also has severe ADHD, even by demigod standards. He is an excellent mechanic and at one point repairs a bronze dragon running wild in the camp's woods, which he names Festus (Latin for "happy"). Inspired by a blueprint in Bunker 9, an abandoned bunker in the camp's woods, and a picture he drew in his kindergarten time, he also creates the Argo II, the flying ship the seven demigods of the Great Prophecy sail on to reach Greece. When Leo was eight, Gaia tricked him into burning down his mother Esperanza's machine shop in Houston, resulting in her death. Leo's remaining family blamed him for killing her and left him a foster child and runaway. He
