#leave em in the dust sis

Annabeth is Annabeth because she faces and fights monsters and she isn’t afraid. In the real world, we have our own demons and monsters. And our New Annabeth has been facing those monsters since she was announced. Already Leah Jeffries has proven when she shouldn’t have had to, that SHE IS ANNABETH.

She is Annabeth and she IS a BOOK ACCURATE Annabeth. Annabeth in the books isn’t Annabeth because she’s blonde, many other characters were blonde too. Her hair and race didn’t make her Annabeth.

Annabeth is Annabeth because she is intelligent, quick footed, a careful thinker, strategist, architect, creative. She is Annabeth because she’s insecure, doesn’t trust easy, lonely, can honestly be as impulsive as Percy at times, prideful. She is confident, sure and unsure, independent, caring.

Annabeth is powerful and strong and I have no doubt that Leah Sava Jeffries is too.

“Leave ‘em in the dust, sis”
