Snarky, laugh-out-loud funny, and thoughtful, it adds a whole new dimension to the fandom.

* {{Tell Me About My Father}}: When learning that Armani was raised by Apollo himself, the Sun god's children become very interested in him. Armani feels miserable when he understands their intention, as he resented being under his uncle's wing at times when those kids would give ''anything'' for one single day with their father.

* {{Your Days Are Numbered}}: Thanks to Midas being a bit off with his timing during Armani's conception, Armani was born with a "tear" in his body that would have killed him long ago if it weren't for Apollo. He exceeded his deadline some time before the first book, and this was what fueled his recklessness throughout the first book. Luckily, he gets better.

!! Broken Bow contains examples of:
* {{Archer Archetype}}: Armani, to an extent.
* {{The Beastmaster}}: Armani, as a child of Artemis.
* {{The Cameo}}: [[Creator/ChristopherWalken Christopher Walken]] makes an appearance in the first chapter of the third book, ''kidnapped'' by Lya as a present for her shotgun-wedded husband, Armani. He even gives Armani, [[Main/MistakenIdentity whom he mistakes for]] [[Main/JesusChrist Jesus]], [[Main/CoolOldGuy an autograph and some marriage advice]].



* {{Deadpan Snarker}}: Armani. Best exemplified by the conversation he has with Apollo in the first book about his birth.
--> '''Armani:''' Apollo, did Zeus ever have [[Main/TheTalk "the talk"]] with you? Do you ''know'' how babies are made and how they come out? Trust me; mothers tend to notice the second bit!
* [[Main/DoggedNiceGuy Dogged Nice Girl]]: Lya, oh so much towards Armani. She's tried everything from {{Through His Stomach}} to ''kidnapping'' ''[[Creator/ChristopherWalken Christopher Walken]]''.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Where Armani and Artemis keep their bows.
* {{Hot Librarian}}: Lanaya, the dryad who teaches Armani English, in ''The 12 Years of Christmas'' pulls off this look quite well, thanks to her advanced age of [[Main/ReallySevenHundredYearsOld nine hundred years]] giving her the appearance of a woman in [[Main/OlderThanTheyLook her late twenties or early thirties]].



* {{My Friends and Zoidberg}}: During ''Shadows of the Hunt''.
--> '''Armani:''' Great Lords and Ladies of your respective dominions... and Apollo.
--> '''Apollo:''' ''Hey!''



-->'''Thalia:''' He ''is.''

to:

-->'''Thalia:''' He ''is.''''
* {{Oblivious to Love}}: Being the son of a goddess whose existence revolves around the pure and innocent, Armani is clueless about love.
* {{Pop Cultured Badass}}: Armani, thanks to Apollo's influence, much to his dismay. He even says ''[[Film/TheDeerHunter The Deer Hunter]]'' is his favorite movie.
** Lya even exploits the above fact and ''kidnaps'' ''[[Creator/ChristopherWalken Christopher Walken]]'' as a present for Armani. If that's not dedication, this troper doesn't know what is.
* {{A Rare Sentence}}: In ''Counterpart''.
--> '''Armani:''' What is [[Creator/ChristopherWalken Christopher Walken]] [[Main/ItMakesSenseInContext doing in my bed?]]
* {{Santa Claus}}: Appears in ''The 12 Years of Christmas'' as Armani's [[Main/ItMakesSenseInContext mortal enemy]].
* {{Shotgun Wedding}}: Armani to Lya at the end of ''Shadows of the Hunt''.
* {{Summon Magic}}: One of the perks of being Artemis's only child. Armani can summon animals to help him fight, and utilizes this power in ''Shadows of the Hunt'' to call in some of his mother's wolves to even the odds against the Athena kids who have him cornered.
* {{Troubling Unchildlike Behavior}}: [[Main/PlayedForLaughs Played for laughs]] in ''The 12 Years of Christmas'' when Apollo asks an eight-year-old Armani why he's wearing the Santa hat he hates so much.
--> '''Armani:''' (While reading [[Literature/TheArtofWar The Art of War]]) Sun Tzu says, "To know your Enemy, you must ''become'' your Enemy."
--> '''Apollo:''' (To Lanaya) Why couldn't you have just bought him a [[Literature/WheresWaldo Where's Waldo]] book?

* {{Cool Uncle}}: Apollo to Armani.
* {{Line of Sight Name}}: How Armani got his name.
-->'''Armani:''' So let me get this straight; the clothes on your back, and your toothpaste?
-->'''Apollo:''' Umm, ''kinda'', yeah...
-->'''Armani:''' [[Main/SarcasmMode With all due respect, uncle,]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments you suck.]]
* {{Mama Bear}}: Do not ever, EVER, attempt to harm, marry, or hide Armani Dove within the vicinity of Artemis, if you don't want to be attacked with so much force, that Athena thinks it could even destroy Zeus. It doesn't matter if you're [[Main/LoveGoddess Aphrodite]], a clueless nymph, or even her own brother... just don't.
* {{No Social Skills}}: Armani at first, so much that he ''strips'' right in front of some of girls in ''Shadows of the Hunt.''
-->'''Annabeth:''' Are you really that dense?
-->'''Thalia:''' He ''is.''
