Girlfriend
At some unknown point, Grover met and fell in love with Juniper, a Dryad who lived on campus in the Camp Half-Blood grounds. By the time of the fourth Percy Jackson novel, Grover's girlfriend was a Dryad named Juniper, who he is in love with. One of the many things Grover fears is his girlfriend's fury, as he tries many ways to not upset her. During his trial with the Elder Satyrs to finding Pan, Percy noticed Juniper crying due to her fears what the outcome of the trial would be. When Grover returned to camp in The Last Olympian, Juniper tackled and hugged him. While he had a crush on a blueberry bush and Artemis, Grover loves his girlfriend more.
Artemis[]
Former Crush
Like all Satyrs, Grover has a crush on the goddess due to her love of nature. However, seeing she is a virgin goddess, Artemis would never act on their feelings for her. It is one of the reasons why Grover immediately volunteered to aid the quest to rescue her in The Titan's Curse. Grover later apologized to Percy for this, while also remembering they were rescuing Annabeth as well.
Tyson[]
Due to his fear of Cyclopes, Tyson and Grover rarely got along, mostly because The Cyclopes were the reason that Thalia was killed the first time. However, the two bonded during their time in the Labyrinth together.
Trivia[]
- Grover has been assigned as guardian of four demigods who are children of the Big Three: Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, and Bianca and Nico di Angelo (children of Hades).
- He has also been the protector of children who are both the grandchildren of Zeus: Annabeth, daughter of Athena and Luke, son of Hermes.
