Ohhh! That really fits. At first, I was skeptical. After your explanation, though, I definitely agree. I have to admit, I don't love Percy. Your description of him is spot on, though.
Also, the spiky, hazardous bits on the thistle are there for protecting the plant against animals and those who want to do it harm, much like Percy's outward personality. Everyone picked on him, so he acted standoffish in order to keep people away.

I especially agree with that part.
