- “The Gray sisters see all.”
- ―Tempest[src]
The Gray Sisters are supporting characters in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. They are prophetic sisters who drive a taxi cab.
Background[]
Personalities[]
The Gray Sisters collectively have eccentricities that depict them as being very unkept. While they come off as disturbing looking, they are actually quite nice, though can be very nosey. They are somewhat sensitive about their appearance when Tyson comments on them having one eye, they collectively told him, "Look... who's... talking." They can be easily swayed when their eye is threatened, admitting that is the only thing they truly care about. They do need it to see after all.
Physical appearances[]
The Gray Sisters are all pale skinned elderly woman with long, messy grey hair. They are all adorned in fluffy brown clothing. Beyond that, the three do have distinctions. Anger has painted red nails and red lipstick, Tempest wears earrings and has her hair done up with a ribbon, while Wasp wears a driver's hat and black shades. They all share a bright blue eyeball.
Powers and abilities[]
True to the original Greek myth, the Gray Sisters have the ability to predict the future and share their vision with those. They are reluctant to do so however, usually asking for something in return. Despite sharing one eyeball, the three are capable of managing with limited vision, as they can drive a car with relative ease.
Role in the series[]
The Gray Sisters, having spent many years predicting the future, had taken up the job of driving a cab for fare money. If a demigod were to ask for their services, they paid in drachmas. The sisters had taken young Annabeth Chase who was in a hurry to get to Camp Half-Blood after having a vision, but were forced to stop to pick up two more fares: Percy Jackson and Tyson. Annabeth had apparently confided in the sisters about a "cute" boy, implied to be Percy, and were open to talking about him in front of him. As they took the three teenagers to Camp Half-Blood, Percy realized that the three knew the whereabouts of Grover Underwood, whom Percy was trying to find. When the sisters dropped their eyeball, Percy threatened to drop it out the high speed taxi cab. The sisters finally decided to give him a clue, "30, 31, 75, 12". The sisters promptly dropped the teens at their destination before taking off in their cab in a puff of smoke.
