So, today I was making a Tumblr blog about Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus. When I have profile pictures I try to have black females so it represents me a bit. So normally I use Hazel Levesque but I decided I wanted to use someone different. I looked up "Percy Jackson Characters" and went on the wiki page. Come to find out the only two black characters I could find were Charles Beckendorf (I think I spelled that wrong but whatever) and Hazel Levesque.

Think about that.

And though it does not say her skin tone the picture shows someone much darker then the other girl
