Annabeth and Camp Jupiter; Years of service and stuff

I was drawing a silly little comic that had Annabeth in it, and while drawing Annabeth I realized something,

By HoO Annabeth has ten camp beads. She has been at camp for the same amount of time any Camp Jupiter kid who didn’t opt to stay a little longer has. While that may seem like a random detail, it could’ve been such a like- thing?

That Annabeth. The daughter of Athena, direct like force that would drive the Romans and Greeks to war once more, has essentially had her full service to her own camp. Could we have gotten parallels between her and other Camp Jupiter kids who had been full term; perhaps other characters begrudgingly respecting her because in their eyes and their own minds she’s already done all her training. Could we have gotten a different silly little interaction between people like Reyna, or Octavian due to the fact she’d been at Camp for so long? Even if it was small like deferring to her as leader, give Annabeth some pause and stutter with her hubris flaw or whatever.

Uhh anyway, all of that to say that Annabeth and legionnaire parallels are silly and if I was more interested in Annabeth I’d love to do stuff with that but sadly I am not. But it’d be a good look at how the legion defers to power and experience and maybe I’ll bring it up again someday. Oh well, we’ll see lol
