Child of Hades: The highly intelligent character being best friends with a character with lots of ambition but not much common sense; therefore, Character A becomes the brains behind all Character B's schemes.

Child of Demeter: One character having a secret (a mental disorder, a physical change, hostile heritage or connections, etc.) that they're terrified to tell their significant other, and when they do, the significant other A) already knows and doesn't care or B) sees it as highly irrelevant and is very kind about it.

Child of Athena: A very composed and rational character snapping when someone they care about is hurt.

Child of Apollo: One character singing to themselves, not knowing anyone else is there, while the love interest watches. Preferably before they're in an actual relationship.

Child of Artemis: Genuine male/female friendships without love triangles or any possibility of romance.

Child of Hephaestus: A very attractive and popular character flirting with the shy one for ages, but when the shy one turns around and flirts back one day, the popular character cannot take it and becomes increasingly flustered.

Child of Aphrodite: *from the point of view of the significant other* "She may have been bruised/wearing rags/filthy/bleeding/pallid/torn up/literally dying, but she still looked beautiful to me."

Child of Hermes: A self-centered character getting injured while protecting another character (the Thornes and Finnicks).
