An heir and the spare...The spare, that’s what Percy was, and thank God for that.  Perhaps that wording was a little harsh, making his parents sound as if they only had him just in case, when that wasn’t the truth.  In fact, if he was speaking technically, wasn’t Matthias the spare?  Mayra the heir?  Whatever, he thought the saying was funny, that’s all.  But the notion of being thankful that he (hopefully) should never have to rule, stood regardless of his colloquial title.  He just simply wasn’t cut out for it.  He was a bit too nice, too selfish, too unsettled, too careless with his words.  

Being the third child, while still expected to grow and take some position within Haven’s court, the pressure he experienced was less than Mayra and Matthias.  And while some people might find themselves chafing at the inattention, Percy thrived in it, delighted by the fact that unless something went incredibly wrong, he would never have the incredible responsibility of ruling.  He got away with a bit more teenage rebellion, got out of responsibilities just a bit more often, got to chase his passions for a bit longer, and rode on the coattails of his siblings just a bit too much.  Like when Matthias had convinced their father to let him travel, only two years after Percy tried the same argument and was able to get him to agree faster.  Oh the joys of being a younger sibling.  

During his time traveling the other realms he discovered many things.  He found out which of those pesky powers witches he inherited through a series of laughable events (longevity and teleportation, so far, if you were wondering).  He found the things he loved to do most that he would follow as a career if he hadn’t had responsibilities to his family (tattooing).  And lastly, he found the love of his life.  Sometimes he looks back and wants to shake himself, yell in his own face ‘why didn’t you notice her sooner?  you could’ve had this all for so much longer!’.  Zaya Rhodes-Alderman.  The Aldermans had been family friends of the Belmontes for ages, and Percy had grown up chasing Zia and Zaya down palace hallways when they should’ve been sitting pretty at inter-realm functions.  Tugging on their matching hair-dos.  Refusing to play with them when he hit that certain age boys did when girls were suddenly gross.

They had rekindled their childhood friendship at Matthias’ coronation, having not seen each other for years.  They tried to stay in touch, then, with some modicum of success, but they were both trying to establish themselves.  Percy suddenly with the freedom--granted by Matthias--to do whatever he wanted, and Zaya with the exploration on the half of herself that she never got to learn about.  For a couple of years, they spoke when they could and met up even less.  But then eventually...Someone (Zaya) got their shit together to finally push them into that next step, and he know it sounds cliche but the rest was pretty much history, as they say.  They went from speaking when they could to being unable to go a day without seeing each other.  One thing quickly turned into another and it wasn’t long before they made the leap and decided to get married.  Many people assumed their quick jump into a serious relationship was due to being true mates.  But they were wrong, the two weren’t true mates, and they couldn’t care less about that fact.  They didn’t care, they were it for each other.

They’ve been married coming up on 25 years, now, and are still constantly mistaken for newlyweds, eternally in that honeymoon period.  They moved to King’s Hill some time ago, with Zaya taking her place in her family’s court as Head Healer, as between Percy’s job and his talent of teleportation it didn’t really matter where he settled.   

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Percy is constantly changing.  His hair.  His moods.  His hobbies.  He’s always up to try anything, and is one of those people who falls in love with something new; people, things, and places pretty much every day. 

He’s fairly easy to get along with, as he’s open, he’d much rather laugh than frown, and rolls with the punches, never taking anything too seriously.  His mother always told people that Percy had never met a stranger, his ability to start talking to anyone about anything both a gift and a curse.

And while he loves to talk, sometimes he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.  It’s not that he means to offend people, he’s never trying to be rude or offensive, it’s just his tendency to keep things light and happy mixed with a need to think before he speaks sometimes ends badly.

He has an overwhelming need to always be active, to be entertained, to be doing something.  Which often ends in him doing a whole lot of nothing.  He starts one project only to get distracted or pulled into another one, with the original rarely actually getting finished.  This applies to all parts of his life from work to personal and everything in between.  Keeping him focused is a bear of a task.
