annabeth : pyro – passionate, dedicated their lives to something they like. her passion/interest/etc would be architecture, obviously. even tho she's a child of athena, it's not that her biggest trait is searching for any and all knowledge about whatever. it's that, even removing her godly heritage, she would still have a burning passion for architecture that she would 100% put into use regardless of whatever world or au she's in

percy : hydro – strong dedication/desire to help people (or their movement). percy's fatal flaw is literally loyalty. even removing the fact that he's the son of the sea god, the fact that he is overly loyal to those he adores is just really hydro of him. and yeah, other characters can be loyal asw, but it's the forefront of who he is, and defines him, just like his element

grover : dendro – wanting to know things/skills that are hard/forbidden/that they like. for years, he and his ancestors searched for pan. he and his uncle and other satyrs dedicated their lives to it, which was clearly a hard skill-esque thing to do. it's only fair that in teyvat that he'd get a similar story of finding the knowledge and completing what's been lost. even as a human, he'd find something nature-focused to dedicate his life around

jason : electro – seeing the world uniquely and are considered weird/in their own world. the whole camp half-blood vs. camp jupiter arc he had would make you think he would be cryo (stuck between two things) but really, even at either camps, it'd still be off for him. from his parentage to how he was raised and who he is as a person, it just makes sense for him to be considered hugely different from his peers. and if you want to keep in the raised by wolves things, think razor

piper : geo – hardworking in general, does anything to achieve their goal(s). she was a struggle to decide, honestly. but her goal in pjo was to just live a normal life. from having normal attention from her celebrity father to eventually seemingly abandoning the mytho world in toa in favor of living a much more normal, mortal life, she does anything she can to get there. she dates jason to have a normal, loving relationship in the middle of a time where nothing was close to her normal (the war) and leaves him and the others for the mortal side of her life, and achieves what she always wanted

leo : cryo – contridictory life, stuck between two worlds/the past and present. it's his mom's death. even well-past her dying, he's haunted by it, and constantly thinks he's the cause because of his powers. no matter what he does, it always somehow links back to his mother, in one way or another. his life is so interlinked with her death that he's just stuck on it, and has been ever since it happened, and will always be

frank : geo – hardworking in general, does anything to achieve their goal(s). he was hard, like piper. unlike her, i don't think he'd really have one gigantic goal. in pjo, he did, which was to survive, and he managed it, and got rid of his life being tied to a woodstick. i think he'd be hardworking to prove himself, also like in the books. he proved himself to be useful to the seven despite his whole life-stick thing, to the camp despite being in the worst cohort

hazel : cryo – contridictory life, stuck between two worlds/the past and present. it's kind of self explanatory? from the whole sammy-leo plot to her having been literally dead for a while (think qiqi too), it's the most fitting. you can maybe add the whole dead mom thing like leo, although it would weigh more on her of how her mom was the cause of her death due to her being manipulated by a higher-being rather than leo's whole haunted by the memory of his mother plot

nico : cryo – contridictory life, stuck between two worlds/the past and present. like hazel, he's from the past. like leo, the death his mom (and sister) weigh on him heavily. bianca's affected him for four straight years, with him being completely on his own when he ran and had to face her death. he even tried to bring her back. i think that's reason enough for cryo

reyna : anemo – desire for/chasing after a form of freedom. she, although not being forced into it, had been a foundational role for camp jupiter for a long while at a young age, and eventually took her chance with the hunters to find herself. her freedom is her ability to now discover who she wants to be without feeling like she needs to step up into a heavly burdening role

my definition of a pyro falls down to "passionate & dedicating their lives to something they like"

as a child of athena, it'd be assumed that annabeth would fall more under dendro. she likes learning, a trait inherited from her mother. however, in teyvat, she wouldn't have those genetics. as annabeth chase, she would still enjoy learning, since it's a core component of her character. however, when looking at what's a fundamental to have to make her ANNABETH CHASE, it's definitely her love for architecture

even without being a daughter of athena, annabeth would still have been into architecture. her dna allowed her more time to indulge in her interest. she literally dedicates a large portion of her life to it, both studying and just imagining (plus literally rebuilding olympus)

and, while annabeth does love learning about architecture, it's clear that she would rather put her knowledge to use than just absorbing information about it. the first chance she got to (olympus), she took it, and used her years worth of research to continue her life's passion

im also pretty hesitant to put her into dendro for another reason: i define dendro as "wanting knowledge/skills that are hard, forbidden, or a large interest". while architecture would fall under the last one for annabeth, she's more active with actually participating in it than just learning. she knows the history of them, she loves it, but it's not out of learning, but out of love, if that makes sense

i also thought it would be cooler for her to be pyro because it is my(&friends) au so i can choose what i want hehe

i think she'd be a catalyst because her dagger can translate into throwing ones for her character? while a sword might be fitting, i like tying in her dagger to her character, and it's cool to think of annabeth chase, architectural genius, popping slimes with fire-fueled daggers

worked on this with beloved romeo @wherefore-art-thine !!! bsf & smartie
