Appearance
Annabeth is a beautiful teenage girl. She has long blonde hair described by Percy as "curled like a princess's". She is tall, slender, graceful and athletic. Annabeth looks like a typical California girl only with stormy, intelligent gray eyes that always seem to be calculating a million things at once and analyzing whoever she is looking at. Annabeth is described as 'cute' 'pretty' and 'beautiful' many times in the books. Her mother, Athena, is considered one of the most beautiful of the Greek goddesses along with Aphrodite and Hera. When she is not wearing her Camp-Half Blood shirt she wears cute and stylish but simple and practical clothes. She's never been described to wear makeup but yet she does so in the Sea Of Monsters at Circe's command. She has brains and beauty and makes good use of both attributes. Annabeth is prideful. In the Titan's Curse, she outgrows Percy. He says in the same book, that he was used to seeing her with absolutely no jewelry, except her Camp Half-Blood bead necklace, but he's surprised when he sees that she's wearing owl-shaped silver earrings, (the symbol of her mother) that were given to her by her father. It is revealed in The Mark of Athena that she always wanted dark hair, so as to not be interpreted as a "dumb blonde".

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“What! Would you make no distinction between hypocrisy and devotion? Would you give them the same names, and respect the mask as you do the face? Would you equate artifice and sincerity? Confound appearance with truth? Regard the phantom as the very person? Value counterfeit as cash?”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
