I think we could certainly describe Percy as loyal and brave. He is courageous in his willingness to undertake a dangerous quest that includes a cross-country trip (without much money or any adult assistance), encountering numerous deadly monsters and one or two angry gods, and traveling to the underworld to meet with an unpredictable and vengeful god, all to prove his innocence and to right the wrongs committed by others. He is fiercely loyal to his mother and his friends, willing to risk his own safety for the well-being of others.
Likewise, Percy has a well-developed sense of justice. He recognizes the unjust way his mother is treated by Gabe, his step-father, as well as the way his birth and life were handled by his own father. And yet he is also capable of forgiveness, as he does forgive his own absentee and rule-breaking father, Poseidon.
