One way to develop their friendship further is through communication. In the fanfiction, they could have heart - to - heart conversations. Grover could share more about his dreams and fears as a satyr, Juniper could talk about her connection to nature, and Percy could open up about his insecurities as a demigod. By understanding each other better, their friendship will grow. Also, they could exchange gifts that are meaningful to them. Grover might give Percy a special acorn that has some magical property, Percy could give Juniper a trinket from the sea, and Juniper could give Grover a rare flower that helps him in his satyr duties.
They could go on a quest together. During the quest, they face hardships like running out of food or being chased by monsters. Through these shared experiences, their bond can strengthen. For example, Percy could save Grover and Juniper from a monster attack, and they would be more grateful and closer to him.
They could go through a really tough trial together. For example, they are trapped in a maze - like place full of dangerous traps and monsters. In this situation, they have to rely on each other completely. Grover uses his knowledge of nature to find hidden paths, and Percy uses his combat skills to protect them. This shared experience would deepen their bond.
Developing his powers further is also a way. Since he's the son of Nyx, he could learn to manipulate different aspects of darkness like creating illusions using shadows or traveling through the dark realms faster. This would not only make him more powerful but also show his growth as a character as he masters these new abilities.
In Percy Jackson at Goode Fanfiction, character development is key. Percy himself can be developed by exploring his relationships with his mortal classmates in a more nuanced way. For instance, he could mentor a younger student who is having trouble fitting in, which would show his kind side. His mortal friends could be developed by having them face some of the consequences of being associated with Percy. Maybe they get targeted by some minor demigod enemies. The teachers at Goode can be developed by making them more aware of the strange things that happen around Percy. One teacher could start to suspect that there's something different about Percy and try to investigate, which would add an interesting dynamic to the story. Also, new characters can be introduced, like a transfer student who has some knowledge of the demigod world but is keeping it a secret, and their interactions with Percy and the others can drive character development.
In developing these characters, consider their backstories more. Percy has his own journey as a demigod, but how does that interact with Arachne? You could create flashbacks where Percy's past experiences with spiders or his mother's influence come into play when he faces Arachne. For Arachne, explore her existence before she became the monster she is. What made her turn against the gods? By delving deeper into these aspects, you can make their characters more three - dimensional in the fanfiction.
One plot idea could be that Grover discovers a new type of magical plant in the forest while with Juniper, and they need Percy's help to protect it from some mythical creatures that want to destroy it for their own gain. Another could be Percy, Grover and Juniper getting lost in an enchanted forest that has been warped by some dark magic, and they have to find their way out together while facing various challenges.
Smelly Gabe could be developed by giving him a backstory. Maybe he had a tough childhood that made him the way he is. This could make readers feel a bit more sympathetic towards him. For example, if he grew up in poverty and was always looked down upon, that could explain his mean and bitter nature.
One way is to put them in situations where they have to rely on each other's strengths. If Percy is in a place where his water powers are useless, Thalia's lightning and combat skills can save the day, and vice versa. Also, they could have inside jokes and memories that are unique to them. Maybe they create a secret handshake or a special code word. Another aspect is to show them growing together, like learning new skills from each other. Thalia could teach Percy some wilderness survival skills, and Percy could show Thalia some new combat moves he learned from another camper. All these things would strengthen their bond as best friends.
One way is to show his more vulnerable side. Maybe he's facing a threat that not even his power can easily overcome, and Percy has to help him in a way. This would make him more relatable.
For Hestia, her character can be developed by exploring her relationship with the demigods more deeply. In the context of the lemon aspect, maybe she uses lemons as a symbol of purification. She could teach demigods like Percy how to use lemons in certain rituals to cleanse their spirits. This would show her nurturing side and her connection to the demigod world on a more practical level.
Their friendship can be developed by having them share their deepest secrets. For example, Max could tell Eleven about her family issues, and Eleven could open up about her past in the lab. This would create a stronger bond between them.
