“ | I did my best to camouflage your statue. With luck, Orion will follow you here, straight into our line of defenses. | ” |
–Phoebe to Reyna. |
Phoebe was a demigod and a Hunter of Artemis. She was the Hunters' best tracker and healer before her death.
History[]
Phoebe was older than Zoë Nightshade. She was a member of the Hunters when Orion fought alongside Artemis, and when he turned against her.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians[]
The Titan's Curse[]
Phoebe was seen arguing with an Ares camper while shooting hoops at the basketball court. Later, she was shown arm wrestling with Bianca.
During Capture the Flag, Phoebe is one of the hunters who attack Percy. In the fray, she fires arrows at Connor and Travis.
Later on, Phoebe is selected for the quest to find Artemis. However, the Stoll brothers (guided by Aphrodite) tricked her into wearing a hunting shirt that was actually laced with centaur blood. The acidic substance made her break into hives, and she was unable to be a part of the quest.
The Last Olympian[]
Phoebe presumably accompanied Thalia and the rest of the hunters in the Battle of Manhattan.
The Heroes of Olympus[]
The Lost Hero[]
Along with the other hunters, Phoebe pursued Lycaon and his minions. They encountered King Midas and his son Lityerses, but didn't slay them, intent on their search for Percy.
Later on, Phoebe and her sisters save Jason, Piper, Leo, and Coach Hedge from Lycaon at a cave. After the wolves fled, Thalia orders Phoebe to set up camp and to care for Piper and Coach Hedge. Phoebe helps the daughter of Aphrodite recover from hypothermia.
When the heroes are all gathered together, it is noted that she was particularly resentful towards their male companions. Shortly afterwards, Thalia chose to direct the three demigods to Aeolus's flying castle. Phoebe is told to follow the rest of the Hunters, who would continue to track down Lycaon.
During the battle of the Wolf House, Phoebe was most likely with Thalia, fighting against the army of lycanthropes and the Earthborn.
The Blood of Olympus[]
Phoebe worked with the Amazons to prepare their trap for Orion. She is possibly one of the hunters who sedated Reyna, Coach Hedge, and Nico, before bringing them to the Amazons' stronghold.
Phoebe, Celyn, and Naomi enter the room right when Reyna knocked down Thalia. Phoebe is seen drawing a bow. Before Reyna was able to do much harm, they cleared up the misunderstanding and escorted her to Hylla. Phoebe was able to create a magical camouflage that would disguise the Athena Parthenos from Orion. However, they are interrupted when the giant invaded the stronghold. Phoebe charged into the battle when Celyn and Naomi were shot down. In doing so, she was killed alongside them.
Appearance[]
Phoebe is built like a wrestler, and has ginger hair that is shaved on the sides. She wears the hunters' standard silver camouflage.
Personality[]
Phoebe is easily aggravated and is quick to resort to violence. She is distrusting towards men, possibly due to the fact young women were maltreated by them in her time.
Phoebe is devoted to Artemis and is loyal to her sisters-in-arms. She shows great nobility, as she bravely defended the Amazons' stronghold from the giant Orion.
