Percy/Annabeth is Rick Riordan's series. The horrendous Lightning Thief movie is based on them, but both plot and characters have little connection. They're far from perfect, but the only "boy has destiny an adventures" series I haven't hated in years.
But then, he's snarky and appreciates getting rescued by girls.
It's Annabeth from the movie. The movie was actually pretty well cast, even if the characters were older than they were in the last book. I was actually looking forward to shipping without the "uhm...12!" aspect? But Percy lost all his snark and likability and was just annoying, and they took most of Annabeth's brain away and pretty much combined her with another female character who's her exact opposite.
Here's my post from after I read the books and watched the movie a couple montrhs ago: http://meganbmoore.livejournal.com/1192223.html

Who is that in your icon, btw?
