Now the one thing that separates a well done OC from a Mary Sue
Is Weaknesses
And Fatal Flaws play a big deal in the Percy Jackson universe

Here are some examples of the existing heroes on both Weaknesses and Fatal Flaws

Fatal Flaws:
Percy being Overly Loyal
Annabeth being prideful
Nico being able to hold a grudge for so damn long
Drew being overly Vain

Leo's feeling of inferiority (that means he thinks he's the least important)

Weaknesses:
Frank's firewood which is connected to his life aura

Hazel's curse with her ability to control precious metals

Leo's own ability to control fire(for various reasons if you don't know just do me a favor and read the Lost Hero)

Now Fatal Flaws vary most of the time
They don't stick to a certain group of Demigods
It depends solely on their personality

Now let's list a few Fatal Flaws that we've seen and a few that we haven't seen shall we?

Fatal Flaws:

- Over Loyalty
- Over Manipulation
- Pride
- Greed
- Vanity
- Recklessness
- Impatience
- Grudges
-  Over self Confidence/Hubris (this is the most common Fatal Flaw)
- excessive Wrath
- Ambition
- curiosity
-low self esteem 
-anxiety
- Over intelligence
- The Past 
-  Being over Serene
-Laziness
-feeling inferior to others 
-Trust issues

Weaknesses:

- Phobias 
- Disease
- Any hits to major organs
- Curses passed on through the family 
- Having their Life Aura attached to a certain object, especially one that can get destroyed easily (this is really, REALLY Rare though, but that object can be anything from a small glass bottle hanging from a string to a porcelain doll)
-Fatal flaws (obviously)
- Power Drainage

These are the weaknesses I could think of so far 

but if you have some more weaknesses you can comment down below 

And as Always Demigods

Stay Awesome
