Percy's life changes when he finds out he is the son of a god. He is removed from his normal home and school and sent to a training camp for half-bloods. Percy becomes more mature, and less destructive and childish, as he discovers his new talents and adjusts to his new situation.


Percy starts the series as a troubled young boy attending Yancy Academy, a school that agreed to accept him despite his history of dismissal from other schools. He lives with his mother, Sally, and his stepfather who he refers to as Smelly Gabe. Though weird things happen regularly around Percy, he still lives a fairly normal life.


Once Percy leaves his old life behind and starts attending Camp Half-Blood, he becomes more mature and responsible. For example, he agrees to accept a quest to return Zeus's lightning bolt in the hopes that Zeus won't go to war with Percy's father, Poseidon. Though he ultimately chooses to return to school at the end of the summer, he is still connected to his godly heritage and has changed due to his experiences. He is no longer as difficult and feckless as he used to be. Instead, he has a healthy and productive way to channel his energy.
