Name: Clarisse La Rue
Age: 18
Species: Demigod
Rank: Cabin Leader
Appearance:
Play-By: Alexander Daddario
Personality: She is hot-tempered, arrogant, brave and strong like most of her siblings. She is also known as a bully that dunks new campers' heads in toilets. In The Battle of the Labyrinth she shows strong feelings for Chris Rodriguez and shows her kind and caring side, who becomes her boyfriend. Clarisse is very proud and defensive of her cabin. She is also defensive and very protective of her good friend Silena Beauregard after she gave Clarisse some dating advice. Her anger toward Percy increased after he defeated her father. During The Last Olympian, she is angered at the camp for never respecting the Ares Cabin. Her pride even prevented her from allowing her cabin from fighting in the war until Silena's intervention. She is similar to Achilles in that her pride sometimes gets in the way of her good sense.
Family: Father: Ares (claimed)
Mother: Mrs. La Rue
History: She is known as a bully in Camp Half-Blood. Clarisse is a well-trained camper, which can be a bad thing depending on whose side she's on. When Percy first arrives at camp and Annabeth is showing him around, she mocks him and Annabeth (calling Annabeth princess) and teases them. She also tries to dunk Percy's head in the toilet. This backfires because Percy uses his water powers to shoot the water back at her and blast her and her pals out of the bathroom. It is known that she and her gang dunks everyone's head in the toilet as an initiation. She shows mastery at using her favorite weapon, an electric spear that was given to her by her father, Ares which Percy manages to break, making Clarisse hate Percy even more. The spear is eventually replaced with one called Maimer, but everyone else (including her cabin mates) nicknamed it Lamer. At the end of the book at a beach in Los Angeles, Percy has to retrieve Hades's helm of darkness and wins a fight against Ares, making all the Ares kids hate him. In The Sea of Monsters, Clarisse goes on a quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Sea of Monsters. On the way there she rescues Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson from the Hydra and takes them aboard a ship named CSS Birmingham to which she is the commander, with some undead Confederate soldiers as her workers. While sailing through the Sea of Monsters, they are separated by Charybdis and Scylla, and an explosion blew up the CSS Birmingham. Clarisse thinks everyone else is dead, and Annabeth and Percy think the same. They reach the island of Polyphemus around the same time.
Polyphemus takes away Clarisse's weapon, and ties her up over boiling water. Clarisse yells at him to release her and fight, revealing that Polyphemus's bride is actually Grover who is trying his best to keep himself alive. Angry, Polyphemus declares that Grover would be the meal, and Clarisse would be the bride, much to her horror. The Cyclops imprisons Grover and Clarisse in a cave, but Percy and Annabeth come to their rescue. After fleeing the cave, they all try to fight Polyphemus but fail. Tyson arrives and rescues his friends, retrieving the Golden Fleece in the process, but Clarisse's taunts at Polyphemus drives him to sink Percy's and Annabeth's ship, Queen Anne's Revenge.
With the help of Hippocampi, they escape the Sea of Monsters to Miami where Percy gives the Fleece and all the money they had left to Clarisse so she could get back to camp. She succeeded and the Fleece restored Thalia's Tree back to health and brings back Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. Clarisse is not at camp at the beginning of The Titan's Curse, and a member of the Ares cabin tells Percy that she is away on a secret scouting mission for Chiron (into the Labyrinth), but has not been heard from and he considers her M.I.A. She appears at the very end, and tells the Campers and Chiron that she has, "Bad news for everyone." In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Clarisse has become better friends with Annabeth (though still not with Percy), and they have been planning something to do with Clarisse's secret scouting mission the previous winter. She is seen holding back Juniper at Grover's trial with the Council of Cloven Elders. It is also revealed she comes from Phoenix, Arizona.
She returns from her quest and reports that Luke has been trying to get into camp through the Labyrinth.
During her quest, she finds a fellow half-blood, Chris Rodriguez, who was driven to insanity by Minos. She takes him back to Camp Half-Blood and tries to nurse him back to health and cries often because of Chris's condition, which shows she has strong feelings for him. When she sees Percy she asks if he finds Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth, to kill him, "Because anybody who can make something like the Labyrinth, Percy? That person is evil. Plain evil." She was seen by Percy Jackson in the Big House basement with Chris when Percy describes how Clarisse acts toward Chris makes Percy believe she knew him before he swapped sides. Mr. D is able to reverse the insanity and the two are seen together, happy and holding hands at the campfire while singing camp songs (albeit, attempting to hold hands secretly; attempting being the operative word). In The Last Olympian, the occupants of Ares' cabin and Apollo's cabin are fighting over a flying chariot because both cabins want it as their own. The Ares cabin had led the raid, and the Apollo cabin had captured the chariot. The Apollo cabin curses Clarisse's cabin mates so that they have to talk in rhyme. At a war council, she tells the other head counselors that the Ares Cabin will not fight because they were disrespected. She sticks up for and is good friends with Silena Beauregard, and is sympathetic when Charles Beckendorf dies. She is also vital in the final battle because Kronos had sent a drakon to attack the Heroes and it was foretold only a child of Ares could slay it; but the cabin had been duped into not helping thanks to a spy in the camp. Finally they arrive when Silena dresses in Clarisse's armor and fools the cabin into joining the battle (in a parallel of the Illiad). After Silena is fatally wounded Clarisse charges the drakon and brings the beast down, avenging her friend. The deed also earned her the blessing of Ares and the respect of her father who said it was the best drakon slaying he had ever seen. After the war ends in victory for the Olympians and Half-bloods, Clarisse returned to camp, where she led a group of other campers to play a practical joke on Percy and Annabeth, throwing them into the lake after they were caught kissing. Clarisse is mentioned during the Lost Hero when one camper comments on how Jason Grace's weapon is better than Clarisse's. Clarisse also took part in the council meeting at the end of the book, when Chiron reveals the truth about the Roman Camp Half-Blood. She mentions that the brutal philosophy of the Romans makes sense to her (as Ares is the god of war his children like violence). However, she does not like the concept of Greek demigods working/co-operating with Roman demigods as they were enemies before.
Anything Else? In the short story The Stolen Chariot Clarisse was given the task of looking after her father's (Ares) chariot for the day. Her half-brothers, minor gods, Phobos and Deimos have stolen it; with the help of Percy she managed to get it back and return it to her father by sunset. This results in the two becoming friends, though they keep that fact to themselves, because at camp they have a reputation of being rivals.
Her interview foreshadows her dislike of Michael Yew, because of her arguments with him when he said that Apollo Cabin was better just because they could use long-ranged weapons.
