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

I agree with you. 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
2.Percy
3.Frank
4.Jason
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

Parker And oh- what turtle???

The big monster turtle from House of Hades. Scrion's pet.

Parker He jumped on top of him?


message 107: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Yes, both Jason Grace and Gleeson Hedge jumped on the turtle.

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.

They have a use. If Piper learns how to fight properly and still use Aphrodite powers then I can accept her.

Parker 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.

Ananth 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.

Ananth Drew's fatal flaw is vanity. Piper is still obsessive and selfish.

Hi! A comment was made about Piper's flaw, personally I've always thought that her flaw could be selfishness. Reasons:

1) In MoA, where she pretty much pleads for her mother to keep Jas..."

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!

Ananth But just because on guy has a flaw doesn't mean that his siblings will have it too.

1. Nico
2. Hazel
3. Leo
4. Annabeth & Percy

Ananth Life from worst to best should be
1.Hazel
2.Nico
3.Leo
4.Annabeth
5.Percy
6.Jason
7.Frank
8.Piper


message 117: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Hazel died once, remember?


message 118: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Still, it's worse than stealing cars(Piper).


message 119: by Ananth (new)

Ananth I think their lives both suck. Hazel died and Nico got pulled out of time.


message 120: by Ananth (new)

Ananth 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.


message 121: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Their dads are gods. They barely visit their kids.

Smart person

Mo 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.


message 124: by Ananth (new)

Ananth In MoA she says "If someone has to die, please let it not be Jason". That is very selfish and also very rude/insulting.

Parker I couldn't find that. Where is it?


Nicoleofan {mellie} 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

She said that when she was praying to her mother.

Parker When was that? I sound clueless, but are you sure it was in MoA?
