Grandma Zhang is the grandmother of Frank Zhang and mother of Emily Zhang. She lived in the Zhang mansion in Canada for most of her life until it was destroyed. She is a descendant of Periclymenus the Argonaut.

HistoryEdit

Not much is known about her past, including her first name. Shortly after her grandsons birth, she sat at the fireplace with her daughter, where they were visited by Juno. Grandma Zhang recognized her as a god, but thought that she was mistaken when Juno informed them of Frank's future importance. Juno also warned them about how Frank's life would be tied to a stick. Regardless of her skepticism, her daughter protected her son's life-stick and passed it down to her mother when she left to fight in the war. After her daughter's death, Grandma Zhang informed Frank about their family history and that his father is a god, before passing him off to Lupa in order to be trained.

The Heroes of OlympusEdit

The Son of NeptuneEdit

Grandma Zhang is first mentioned in Frank's flashbacks, when Frank is shooting her porcelain with arrows before his mother's funeral. She asks him to come in and explains about his curse of the Argonauts, and also tries to explain his gift. When the conversation is finished, they go to Emily Zhang's funeral. She also tells him how his life is connected to a piece of firewood Juno had given them shortly after Frank's birth. Shortly after, a group of wolves take Frank away, leading him to Camp Jupiter.

A few months after he left, a group of Laistrygonian Giants were told that they could gain the Zhang family gift by eating Frank Zhang. A group of them set up camp around Grandma Zhang's house, waiting for him to arrive. She knew that it was too dangerous, so she sent the house keeper away to keep her safe while she herself slowly began to die.

Fortunately, Frank and his new friends, Percy Jackson, Hazel Levesque, and Ella the harpy, went to her house after fleeing from the Amazons. When they realized what was happening, they planned a rescue.

Inside the house, after speaking with his father Mars, Frank spoke with his grandmother. Finally, she explained to Frank his curse, and told him and Mars that she was ready to die. Shortly after, the Laistrygonians set her house ablaze.

The Mark of AthenaEdit

Grandma Zhang is briefly mentioned by Frank, explaining that he wasn't sure if his grandmother had survived the fire or not. He recalled seeing a bird fly above the house, as it burned down so he assumed she had gotten away, hinting that his entire family had the gift of shape shifting.

Grandmother Zhang's FateEdit

When Frank and his allies escaped from Zhang's house, a tiny bird was seen flying from the second story window. Grandma Zhang possibly transformed into a bird to escape the flames, and could have survived. But this has not been confirmed.

PersonalityEdit

Zhang was very strict and and often seemed cold towards Frank. However, she did indeed care for him as when Frank left, she stated that Frank had made her proud.

Abilities Edit

• She can shapeshift into any living animal.

TriviaEdit

• Oddly, Grandma Zhang mentioned Chinese Gods in the same light as the Greco-Roman Gods.
• Grandma Zhang was proudly Chinese, and was annoyed that Frank's name isn't Chinese, so she calls him "Fai."
• Grandma Zhang is similar to Augusta Longbottom, the grandmother of Harry Potter character Neville Longbottom. Longbottom is also a strict woman with an insecure grandson.
