They try to seduce Bellephron, who gets so embarrassed he just calls the flood off to save himself the hassle.

      I’ve only seen one case where this works, and that’s Mana Aida from Doki Doki Precure, her fatal flaw was that she was selfless to the point of self-destruction. It’s even hi-lighted in an episode where-despise being sick and REALLY should stay in bed, she goes out to help with her school’s festival, and just makes her sickness worse. She rightly gets called out and told that this is self-destructive behavior and it’s ok to be selfish sometimes if it’s for your own health.

They are considered the weakest by their older siblings, but over time, they prove to be mighty in their own right, likely taming the Pegasus and maybe even forming an alliance with the centaur clans or something.

    The story of Bellerophontes apparently comes from Book VI of the _Iliad,_ when Glaukos, a grandson of Bellerophontes and a Lykian ally of the Trojans, basically drops down his weapons and proceeds to explain his *entire genealogy* to the Greek warrior Diomedes after challenging him to single combat. Diomedes then realized that *his* grandfather Oeneos was once a host to Bellerophontes, and declared that he and Glaucus must also be friends.
    Funny how things like that work out.

      The thing is, Glaukos’ armor and weapons were actually better than Diomedes’, so he just got scammed

We also see he struggles a lot with a borderline pathological sense of responsibility and need to be at the front of the conflict. In the third book he chases after a monster solo rather than go back to grab his friends at least in part because a new character who's entered the scene has started to edge in on that role and he's feeling irritated and a little threatened by it, and it took outright deus ex machina to swing things firmly in the heroes' direction as a result of that.

      Nikolaj Steffensen According to a little searching, one version of the myth told by Plutarch in his On the Virtues of Women is that Poseidon sent a huge flood to follow behind Bellerophon. Bellerophon by that point was very mad that Lobates was trying to kill him, so he planned to lead the flood into the city and destroy everything. Fortunately, the women of the palace decide to run out without their clothes, and Bellerophon turns back because he's embarassed, bringing the flood back with him.

      He have a good concept, character like any other happy newbie protagonist introduced to a magic world for the first time with a flaw but if you place logic in the story it would end in a very tragic way.I would find that more interesting if he was given ANY logical character development scene that plays with his emotional and mental state in a worst way possible as a direct consequence of his actions since that's how he only learns, by experience it no matter how painful it can be in the end. But if that would happen then he would become emotional distraught, have major PTSD, Hallucinations and difficulty assimilating to a normal life as he is practically a child soldier and slave to beings who will kill him if he does not obey. It would end up pretty dark, not all smiles and jokes as the book portrays it to be. There was character death but it never had much impact on his development making him almost seems apathetic and unrelatable in the end. Reading the books again I may almost call him a Gary Sue
      A good example of a story with a realistic character development and setting similar to the PJ books would be the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the main character was introduced to a magical world hidden from the real world and seems happy due to the existence of Magic but later realized that it only makes things far more complicated and dark as it boils down to a violent gang war for both power and survival. Percy would definitely end up like Sayaka, they have the sea-theme going on and cared for their friends too much which would becomes their downfall.

    @ButterflyScarlet 6 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Here's the thing: anything can be a flaw. I think Red said it in one of her Trope Talks but literally anything can be a flaw or a virtue depending on the story.
    'Loving your friends' is on first sight a good thing but what if you have to choose between saving Friend A or B? Being nice is a good thing until it lets people take advantage of you. Anything can be a flaw, it's up to the author to craft a world that puts those traits to the test. There's a reason so many people like Percy Jackson (i know Red doesn't hate the books don't @ me).
    Percy's flaw isn't his loyalty. Since that's never put to the test it's just a character trait. His flaw is his impulsive nature. He doesn't think things through and he picks fights where he really shouldn't. Sure everything works out for him because he has dope friends and he is the protagonist ergo he has to survive otherwise what is the fucking point. Same with Harry Potter. Actually a lot of protagonists have 'impulsive' as the flaw.

    The weird thing is, Percy is flawed - It's just that the loyalty thing isn't actually the one that hurts him.Most of the time, his worst flaw isn't loyalty: It's recklessness. He has a very big tendency to charge in without thinking of a plan and try and fly it by the seat of his pants. There's a reason that he's friends with Annabeth: She' s the one who can actually think ahead. Percy's recklessness hurts him far more than his loyalty, usually because he can't resist getting a snarky comment in and ends up pisisng off, like, 5 separate gods as a result. He's not stupid, granted. He is VERY good at improvising a plan and he's, if his internal monologue is any indication, actually surprisingly observant and thoughtful but he tends to act without thinking regardless.

    I mean, I'd argue that it wasn't so much that "caring too much about your friends" wasn't a flaw so much as it was never... used as one. Because the scenarios presented as potential outcomes due to that flaw, namely sacrificing the world's security so that a friend wouldn't die, are definitely not good. "Potential outcomes" is the key term there, though. It never comes up as an actual flaw, only as a convenient way to remind the audience that "everyone is flawed!!!" and to segue into other people's actually used flaws. ^^" But that's just me arguing over semantics, really. Badly used device is still badly used.

      So if say...a character considers it fine to attend to a friend other than *guard a stolen nuke that a baddie wants to use on a populated area at all times no matter what,* I can call that a flaw?
      Actually things like that are super sommon tropes...but it's always played as the hero being a great person and not *the most irresponsible person in the world.*

    I disagree that "caring about your friends too much" is not a real flaw. You just have to make your character pay for it. Potentially every flaw can be payable.

      I think that it is a flaw, but not an interesting one to give to the main character. It makes them seem too "good" in my opinion.

      That is a good flaw to give a character if their friends start to get into shadowy moral areas. "DUDE! Why are you defending that guy? He just bombed civilians!" "Stay away! My friend had to make a hard choice and your nagging it's only making his grief worse!" He says. As his friend does not show any sign of grief. At all.

      No I still don't think that should count as flawed hero territory. Selflessness isn't really what makes someone an anti-hero or morally ambiguous. Someone who is doing good things for selfish means (Indiana Jones), does terrible things for a good reason (Handsome Jack in BtPS), or has a very morally grey ethics code (Alucard) are most definitely anti-heroes. However selflessness and self sacrifice to the point of self harm are not character flaws that warrant the same title. They become Martyrs. I wouldn't count Superman killing himself by fighting Doomsday alone (who was stronger than him) and then finishing him off in an impact that not only killed Doomsday but himself also as Anti-Hero material. Or I wouldn't count fire fighters literally risking their lives by jumping into a burning building filled with toxic gas to save others anti-heroes either. What's next Jesus get's the anti-hero label because he loves all mankind to a fault that he allowed himself to be crucified.

    I personally disagree with the statement about "They like their friends too much" not being a real flaw. It is if you take it far enough. Speaking as a person who used to be very obsessive in my relationships, it definetly destroyed several of them and getting over that whole mess definetly made me a better person. I know you meant the characters where that's not the case, I just want to give a passing writer some ideas. ^^
