Her life is Elsyium compared to some of the other peoples lives. In fact I'll just rank their lives from best to worst. She doesn't need to complain.
1.Piper

3.Frank

5.Annabeth
6.Leo
7.Nico
8.Hazel

I only said that because someone said they were better than Piper- or something along those lines. But if any of us mortals were on the quest, we'd probably all be dead by now. XP
Just answer me this: why aren't you complaining that Leo is on the quest? Or Percy, or Annabeth, or Jason, or Hazel, or Frank? Answer me that.

To become head counselor, you have to challenge the current head counselor. Only Piper had the guts to do that, and I don't think she can appoint anyone else.
Plus she disses the other boys who aren't Jason. She was also tempted to let Jason kill Percy when they were possessed by eidolons.

That sounds right. Piper has always been a bit selfish, but I thought her fatal flaw may be how attached she was and how easily she falls for people. Thanks for for answering my question!
Some people say that both Frank and Leo were orphans. I think Leo is the real orphan. Emily Zhang died for a noble cause, she saved her comrades. Whereas Esperanza Valdez was technically murdered by Gaea.
Nothing is wrong with Piper. Just because we don't know Piper as well as Percy or Annabeth doesn't mean she is any less of a character. I am sorry she has flaws like all characters.
In MoA she says "If someone has to die, please let it not be Jason". That is very selfish and also very rude/insulting.
I used to hate her, but after the HoH, I kind of respect her. And I really feel bad for her!
I mean, imagine your boyfriend, completely forgetting who he is and who you are, and being told that everything you had together never existed. . .poor girl

No, because none of us happen to be fictional characters with magical, godly mothers.
