Canon

Pre-Heroes of Olympus

Reyna and Jason have known each other at Camp Jupiter since Reyna was twelve. Reyna and Jason became very good friends, and Reyna developed a huge crush on Jason and thought of him as an All-American boy, which Jason was oblivious to. Reyna and Jason bonded over Diocletian and liked to talk about him and wanted to see Dalmatia someday.

When Reyna was 14, they went on a quest to Charleston to salvage Imperial gold weapons from the CSS Hunley. While there, Reyna met Venus, who told her that no demigod would heal her heart. Because of this, Reyna began acting distant from Jason and never told him what happened, and thought she was broken and needed romantic healing. The two kept secrets from each other, with Jason not telling her about Thalia Grace and Reyna not telling him about her father. Jason was the only one who knew her last name. However, Reyna hated when he said it and told him she didn't want to use her last name anymore.

The two ended up being co-praetors for a few months, and during that time Reyna believed they had a romantic future together. Then, Jason went missing. Reyna was the last person Jason talked to before he went missing.

Heroes of Olympus

When Jason begins to get his memories back in “The Lost Hero” he remembers knowing a girl named Reyna and wonders if they had romantic relationship.

Reyna is first introduced in "Son of Neptune", the second novel in the Heroes of Olympus series. Percy meets her at Camp Jupiter, and realizes almost instantly that she has romantic feelings for Jason. This is especially important, since Percy is the sort that isn't very attuned to matters of the heart. Percy asked Reyna if she was dating Jason, and Reyna replied that it was possible they would begin dating in the future.

In "The Mark of Athena", Jason returns to Camp Jupiter with the remaining members of The Seven. Annabeth also notices quite quickly that Reyna seems to have romantic feelings for Jason. Reyna was excited to see Jason return, but that excitement began to fade when she realized that Jason and Piper were dating. Even Piper could tell that Reyna had feelings for Jason, although she did not blame her for those feelings. Jason, however, didn't seem to have any inkling of Reyna's crush or feelings of jealousy. Reyna confided in Annabeth at one point that she thought Jason had "changed" while he was away.

In "House of Hades", Jason grapples with his guilt about Reyna. He doesn't have any romantic feelings for her, but he acknowledges that he may have led her on. He feels terribly about this, and thinks of Reyna fondly as a close friend. He becomes much more careful about his relationship with Reyna, even hesitating to speak about her in Piper's presence so as not to make the latter jealous.

In "Blood of Olympus", Jason is shown to be very worried about Reyna and her travelling companions, Nico and Coach Hedge. Reyna visits Pompeii with her compnions, but wishes that she was there with Jason. She daydreams about sharing romantic walks with him through the city. When Reyna stands off against the giant Orion, he reminds her of the rejection she faced at the hands of Jason. Reyna insists that she does not define herself by her relationships with men. By the end of the book, Reyna has moved on from her feelings for Jason and has accepted Piper as Jason's love.

Trials of Apollo

Reyna returns in "The Tyrant's Tomb", where she is informed by Meg and Apollo of Jason's death. She and Frank Zhang agree to work together to make one of Jason's final wishes a reality; building a temple for each and every Roman god. Reyna attended Jason's funeral, and Apollo noted a few days later that she appeared as though she had been crying for a number of hours.

Fanon

This ship gained popularity after the release of Son of Neptune in which it was revealed that Reyna held romantic feelings for Jason. It rivaled Jasper as the main ship for Jason Grace and in the year wait between TSoN and MoA many shippers wrote alternative Mark of Athena stories in which Jason Grace and Reyna began a romance. After the release of the Mark of Athena and the continued lack of interactions between Jason and Reyna the ship fell in popularity. However, this remains a popular ship for Reyna having over 350 stories on A03.
