Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

Hecate is usually dressed in dark robes, holding twin torches (all the better to see you and burn you with, my dear). She is accompanied by a she-dog and a polecat. In later times, Hecate was pictured as a woman with three heads, or three entirely different forms for the morning, noon, and night. The Maiden is a girl with milk-white skin and platinum-blond hair, the Mother is a middle-aged woman with onyx eyes and thick, black hair surrounded by green fire, and the Crone is a wizened old woman with ashen hair. The faces can also transform into animal heads, those being a palomino horse, a lioness, and a hound. She wears a dark sleeveless gown and, while interacting with Percy, defaults to the form of the Mother.

Hecate is a lover of solitude and expects people to make their own choices. Despite her many years of faithful service, Hecate resents the Olympians for being treated as a minor goddess, which leads her to support Kronos in the Second Titan War. Since her children have been given their place at Camp Half-Blood, she has given up her grudge against Olympus but becomes protective and worrisome of her children, many of whom were lost, captured, or embittered in the war, showing herself to be a parent that loves her children equally, regardless of their affiliations. Hecate is shown to greatly care for her animals Hecuba and Gale who were both mortal women before they were transformed by the goddess. It's shown that Hecate is lonely and full of regrets too.

Hecate is a third-generation Titaness born to Perses and Asteria, daughter of Koios and Phoebe. She is often accompanied by a black Labrador retriever and a polecat, who used to be mortal women before she turned them into her familiars. A few years ago during the Halloween season, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood helped pet-sit her pets Hecuba and Gale to much chaos.
