One reason could be that Percy has shown great courage and strength, which Reyna respects. She might see in him the potential to be a great ally or even a leader. So, she becomes protective to ensure his safety and to keep him on their side.
In one scenario, when Percy is about to face a powerful enemy alone, Reyna steps in and stands beside him, ready to fight together. This shows her protectiveness as she doesn't want Percy to take on the danger all by himself.
It can make some characters respect Reyna more. Since she is so protective of Percy, who is often seen as a hero, other characters may view her as a noble and loyal friend. For instance, those who look up to Percy would also appreciate Reyna for safeguarding him.
Another scenario might be when Percy is in a dangerous situation like facing a powerful monster. Reyna would not hesitate to put herself in harm's way to protect him. She might shield him with her own body or use her strategic mind to come up with a plan to keep Percy safe.
In a fanfiction, their friendship could start with a simple act of kindness. Percy could save Reyna from a minor accident. Reyna, being grateful, starts to see Percy in a different light. They begin to have small conversations, getting to know each other's likes and dislikes. Over time, they realize they have more in common than they thought. They support each other in their personal goals, like Percy helping Reyna with a project for the Roman camp and Reyna helping Percy with his relationships at Camp Half - Blood. This mutual support cements their friendship.
Percy might feel a deep sense of hurt. He values friendship highly, and this betrayal would make him question who he can trust. He could become more guarded and less likely to trust new people easily. Reyna would be more focused on the bigger picture. She would see the betrayal as a threat not just to herself but to the stability of the demigod world. So she would start gathering her allies, those who still believe in her, and form a strategy to counter the false accusations and the forces behind the betrayal. She would be determined to prove that she and Percy are not the traitors they are made out to be.
In 'Percy and Reyna: A New Bond', the author explores what would happen if Percy and Reyna were forced to work together on a long - term project in Camp Jupiter. This fanfiction delves deep into their personalities and how they overcome their differences. For example, Percy's laid - back nature clashes with Reyna's strict leadership style at first, but as the story progresses, they find common ground and form a strong bond that is both heartwarming and exciting to read about.
In fanfiction, the idea of Percy Jackson and Reyna being siblings is a concept that some writers like to play with. It can add an interesting twist to the story. Maybe they create a backstory where they are siblings separated at birth or something similar. But remember, this is just in the realm of fan - created stories and not part of the original mythology or the main series. Fanfiction gives fans the chance to explore relationships in new and unexpected ways.
Jason is another good choice. He has a history with both Percy and Reyna. His leadership skills and his connection to the Roman side of the demigod world could bring in new plotlines. For example, he could help Percy and Reyna understand some of the more complex Roman demigod politics that they need to navigate.
Among certain groups of Percy Jackson fans, this type of fanfiction can be fairly popular. Those who like to explore different relationship dynamics and are open to non - canonical pairings might be drawn to it. They enjoy imagining different scenarios for the characters. But it's not as mainstream as the fanfiction that sticks closer to the main storylines and relationships presented in the books. There are also fans who might not approve of such pairings and so it doesn't have universal popularity.
