Jeffries' casting last year generated backlash from racist fans upset that a Black actor was playing a character that Riordan described in his book as a blonde white girl.
Book Annabeth was originally conceived of as white. That is true. Leah Jeffries is an INCREDIBLE Annabeth -- in my opinion the absolute epitome of Annabeth's character -- and she is Black.
The casting of Annabeth as Leah Sava Jeffries was very controversial. Many fans were quick to point to the fact she was very different in appearance to the book as, for one thing she is Black with dark brown hair and brown eyes as opposed to the books where she is White, Blonde with grey eyes.
It is worth noting that in the book Annabeth is described as having blonde hair, Percy is described as having black hair, and Grover is described as having brown hair.
He is a Greek demigod son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson. He is the counselor of Poseidon's Cabin and is a former Praetor of the Twelfth Legion at Camp Jupiter. He is currently in a relationship with Annabeth Chase.
In the Official UK Percy Jackson site, Percy says he's 13 years old, and 5'10, and a bit slim. It is also said that Annabeth is 5'9, and she is 13 years old. What's surprising is, Annabeth is still several inches taller than Percy in The Sea of Monsters.
Annabeth becomes extremely worried because it was her mother that turned her into a monster because she was caught kissing Poseidon in one of her temples.
This book is also when Percy and Annabeth reunite and kiss joyfully, and hugged each other. Annabeth also flips Percy over her shoulder, and says "I swear to all the gods, if you leave me again-".
The pair are first cousins once removed. Percy is the son of Poseidon and he is first cousins with Annabeth's mother Athena. Athena is, of course, the daughter of Poseidon's brother Zeus. In fact, pretty much all of the demigods are related to each other in some shape or form as they all descend from Kronos.
Reyna Annabeth is a month older than Percy. She is 16-17 at the start but Percy doesn't turn 17 until the Son of Neptune. Aphrodite A.K Percy is around 16-17 whereas Annabeth would be around 15-16 as she is 15 at the end of the Percy Jackson series and he is 16.
Yes, Annabeth is married to Percy Jackson, and has three kids: Cast, Ethan, and Zoe. How was Annabeth Chase born? Annabeth Chase is the half-blood daughter of the goddess Athena and the mortal man Frederick Chase.
The doors immediately tried to spill them out between life and death, and Annabeth threw her body against one side. "Jason, help me!" She cried, as he slammed his shoulder against the other side. Annabeth sobbed from pain in the sword wound in her side, and brokenness from who she just lost He was gone.
The movies portray all the characters as roughly the same age, whereas the books feature a 7-year age gap between Luke and 12-year-olds Percy and Annabeth. (Grover is technically 32, but matures at half-speed as he is a satyr.)
How is Percy Jackson described in the books? Percy has tanned, olive skin and disheveled black hair. He has sea-green eyes, which he inherited from Poseidon.

The characters Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase each develop a white streak in their hair from the strain of holding up the sky in The Titan's Curse, the third novel in the book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Cruella De Vil is thought to have this condition with her half-black/half-white hair.
Annabeth's blondness is a somewhat important part of her character, but its mostly internal and is never really thought out loud. They could easily just not mention that part of her character if she doesn't end up having blond hair in the show.
