Okay, so I made one of these প্রবন্ধ about Jason and some people requested that I do one for Piper, so I thought I would try. :) Also, I’m sorry if there are a billion other প্রবন্ধ about why someone likes/hates Piper, I didn’t really look to see. XD Hopefully this isn’t too redundant and boring for those of আপনি who have been on ফ্যানপপ longer than I have…
Before I start I just want to say:
1) THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST A WARNING!!!!
2) These are my opinions and I just want to share them. Feel free to share your own opinions in the comments! :)
I’m going to তালিকা the arguments I’ve seen people make against Piper and give reasons why I, personally, think they are wrong (this doesn’t mean that I’m right, it’s just my opinion and what I think, so please don’t get mad at me for it! Thanks!).
1) “Piper is a Mary-Sue”
So, I really didn’t want to start with this one, because I don’t know enough about Mary Sues to argue against this effectively. But since I see this as the #1 reason why some people hate Piper, I’ll try my best.
Here is why I DON’T think that Piper is a Mary Sue:
1) Piper does, in fact, have flaws. She used to be a klepto, she felt (maybe still feels?) that her dad ignored her and has low self-esteem because of it, and she is a little bit of a hypocrite (because she does think about clothes and appearance, even though she wants so badly not to XD). Those sound like flaws to me!
2) Some people say that a Mary Sue is measured দ্বারা how the characters see them rather than the reader. Wouldn’t that have to mean that all the characters প্রণয় Piper and think she is flawless? I don’t think this is true AT ALL. How many people DON’T like Piper? There’s Drew, those girls from the Wilderness School, Jane, Gaea, and probably Reyna and almost every Roman camper. So, Piper is definitely NOT loved দ্বারা everyone. As for the other characters seeing her flaws, I think that they do. Here are some examples: 1) In The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, Leo gets annoyed that Piper wants to be with Jason so much (in Chapter 23)—though I suppose আপনি could say this is also directed at Jason and not JUST Piper. 2) Her dad thinks that she is immature with all her stealing and stuff and he is often disappointed in her. 3) Drew absolutely loathes Piper and thinks she is annoying. And there are probably more, but I only have the first book with me right now.
3) I’ve seen some people say that Piper is a Mary Sue for these reasons: 1) She has a special weapon, 2) She has a good গান গাওয়া voice, and 3) She is a Daughter of Aphrodite, but can still fight. My arguments: 1) Yeah, Piper has Katoptris, but Percy has Riptide, Jason had his coin thing, and Leo has his tool-belt. So I don’t think this makes Piper a Mary Sue. 2) Some people are good singers, even without lots of lessons. This was only mentioned ONCE and only briefly (if I’m even thinking of the right part) and I don’t see how it really makes Piper a Mary Sue, even if lots of Mary Sues can sing… (And just a যেভাবে খুশী thought about that…do আপনি think her “powerful voice” অথবা whatever it ব্যক্ত about her good গান গাওয়া voice has anything to do with her charmspeak? Probably not, but I just thought of it…) And 3) I’m pretty sure all the children of Aphrodite COULD fight if they wanted to, they just choose to spend আরো time on clothes and make-up like Drew. But the fact that Piper CHOOSES to fight and is good at it doesn’t make her a Mary Sue. If আপনি were a child of Aphrodite, would that automatically mean আপনি couldn’t be a good fighter? No, it’s a choice that Piper made. She wants to fight and she is good at it.
4) Some people also say that Piper is a Mary Sue because she wants to be normal. If this is true, then Annabeth, Hazel, and probably every other female demigod in the world is a Mary Sue. They ALL want to be normal. Who wants to have monsters after আপনি all the time? Now as for Piper not wanting her dad to be a famous actor, then I’ll just say this: I don’t think she wishes THAT necessarily. I think she wants her dad to pay আরো attention to her rather than his job. Who wouldn’t? থালিয়া didn’t like that her mom was an actress either, did she (I honestly don’t remember, so please correct me if this is wrong)?
Like I said, I don’t know enough about what makes a character a Mary Sue to really argue against this one, but from what I do know, Piper doesn’t really seem like one.
2) “Piper is weak”
I don’t see Piper as weak at all, really. For one thing, she had the guts to not betray her বন্ধু in The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, even though it meant she might lose her dad. Yes, she thought about betraying them, but in the end she managed to save BOTH of them. Also, in The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, Piper wanted so badly to be able to fight when they were in the cave and the নেকড়ে-মানুষ were attacking. Just because she COULDN’T fight doesn’t mean she is weak. She still tried and wanted to, which in my opinion shows TRUE strength.
And, I will say that Piper is not nearly as kick-butt as Annabeth and even Hazel, but being able to FIGHT isn’t the only thing that makes someone strong. Love, loyalty, and determination also প্রদর্শনী strength. And Piper shows ALL of those qualities. Piper isn’t weak.
3) “Piper is useless”
Useless, আপনি say? Then I take it আপনি do not care at all about Percy অথবা Jason? Because she saved both of their lives MULTIPLE times in the Mark of Athena. First when they were possessed দ্বারা eidolons and fighting each other and then again when they were drowning. And some people say that it was Piper’s fault that Percy and Jason were in these situations to begin with, but actually, people: no. She saw the প্রতিমূর্তি in Katoptris, but didn’t understand them. It wasn’t her fault.
Also, Piper helped save Hera in the হারিয়ে গেছে Hero. If that’s not useful, then what is? If Hera hadn’t been saved, the world would have been doomed.
4) “Piper গাউন Jason from Reyna”
আপনি can’t steal what doesn’t belong to anyone. Reyna never HAD Jason, according to both Jason AND Reyna. So there is no way that Piper গাউন Jason. Jason chose her fair-and-square, because according to him, he never had feelings for Reyna to begin with. Sure, আপনি could argue that if Jason hadn’t been switched and had his memory wiped then “given time” he and Reyna may have dated. But that’s not fair to anyone. Jason didn’t ask to have his memory wiped and Piper didn’t ask to be প্রদত্ত fake memories of Jason. But it happened and if they are in প্রণয় with each other, then good for them. They SHOULD be together then. Piper did not intentionally hurt Reyna. She was probably told দ্বারা Jason, once he figured everything out, that he and Reyna were never dating (though we don’t know for sure, since we didn’t get to read about when they actually got together). So she probably assumed that Reyna either didn’t like Jason in that way অথবা that it didn’t matter because Jason didn’t want to be with her.
Also, some people say that Piper’s relationship with Jason is fake because her memories of him were fake and Reyna’s were real, so he should be with Reyna. But, remember, Piper and Jason have had 8 months to get to know each other দ্বারা The Mark of Athena. That’s not as long as Jason and Reyna had, maybe, but it’s enough to make REAL memories. Also, near the end of The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero it says this:
“She didn’t even worry that her knowledge of him was mostly based on three months of false
memories. আপনি can sense possibilities, her mother had said. And Piper was determined to make those possibilities a reality.” (The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, Chapter 52).
So Piper wanted to make real memories, and I think we can assume that she did, since she and Jason are now dating.
(And can I also just say that Reyna wasn’t exactly loyal to Jason while he was missing. She flirted with Percy. So, I don’t think it’s fair to say that Piper গাউন Jason from her when she obviously would have moved on pretty fast…)
5) “Piper is such a horrible jerk for saying that Percy is unimpressive compared to Jason! How dare she!”
Really?! Sure, maybe it was wrong for her to be comparing the two boys at all, but so what if SHE thinks that Jason is আরো impressive? She’s in প্রণয় with him and NOT with Percy. Plus, she hasn't been with Percy very long at that point and she hasn't actually seen him do that much, whereas she has gone on a quest with Jason and seen him fight. If it were Annabeth, she would probably think that Percy was আরো impressive than Jason. It just makes sense. Piper isn’t saying that Percy is totally lame. She KNOWS that he’s epic (considering he was practically all anyone at Camp Half-Blood talked about in The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero), she just prefers Jason. What’s wrong with a character having an opinion? Nothing. It’s totally fair of Piper to think what she did.
6) “Piper is a jerk to challenge Drew for leadership of কেবিন Ten!”
What about it makes her a jerk? Piper had every right to do so, as it is in the rules. Drew was not helpless, considering the duel would have taken place at a later time. Yes, Piper says something along the lines of “or we can do it now, if আপনি want”, but let’s not forget that she was technically giving Drew a choice. Sure, Piper had a dagger to Drew’s face, but do any of us REALLY think Piper would have stabbed Drew right then and there if she had refused? Doubtful. And also, Drew was just as much of a jerk to Piper and every other Aphrodite camper. Piper saved the Aphrodite campers from Drew’s horrible treatment and sort of put her in her place. So, no, Piper didn’t go about the situation the “right way” necessarily, but she isn’t a jerk for doing it.
Also, right after this confrontation Piper has with Drew it says:
“This was the part she was unsure of. She didn’t want to rule দ্বারা fear. She wasn’t like Drew, but she didn’t know if they’d accept her. Then, spontaneously, the Aphrodite campers cheered so loudly, they must’ve been heard all across camp.” (The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, Chapter 52)
She DIDN’T WANT TO RULE দ্বারা FEAR. Yes, she was trying to intimidate Drew, but in order for Drew to take her seriously, she had to. She didn’t want to intimidate the rest of the campers, and they were obviously happy that she did what she did, hence the cheering.
7) “Piper is too obsessed with Jason”
Yes, Piper is obsessed with Jason. TOO obsessed? Maybe a little. But I, personally, think that is what makes her character so interesting. Remember, she is a daughter of Aphrodite, the প্রণয় goddess. Piper SHOULD be obsessed with the guy she is in প্রণয় with. It fits with her character and seems right. Is it somewhat annoying to read about her obsessing over Jason in EVERY one of her chapters? Maybe to some people, but I find it kind of cute. XD
8) “Piper is a whiny brat!”
When does Piper EVER whine? Out loud, I mean. She definitely complains a lot in the first book about her dad not paying attention to her (but who wouldn’t if their parent was ignoring them?!), but she RARELY voices her complaints. And so I don’t think that she is a brat because it. If she constantly whined to Jason and Leo about her dad in The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, then YES she would be a brat. But she kept it to herself, which shows that she doesn’t want to burden other people with her problems. Someone please tell me how that is “bratty”.
9) “Piper is SO conceited!”
WHAT?!?! Is there ANY evidence of this in any of the books?! As far as I’m aware, Piper has extremely LOW self-esteem. She feels neglected দ্বারা her dad and needs to do things like steal cars to get any attention from him. Throughout the entire first book, she feels that she is the weak link in the quest. And she constantly has worries about her relationship with Jason in the Mark of Athena. There is NO implication that Piper is the least bit conceited!
10) “Piper is a downgrade of Annabeth”
I don’t even know where to start with this one…
Hmm…let’s think about this…Piper and Annabeth are not similar enough for either one to be a “downgrade” of the other. Annabeth is strategic, athletic, and brave, while Piper is driven দ্বারা her হৃদয় rather than strategy, a little rebellious, and also brave. But all demigods should be brave. They sort of have to be…
Piper and Annabeth are totally different characters. Neither is a downgrade of the other.
11) “Piper is a manipulative jerk because of her charmspeak”
Piper isn’t really manipulative and her charmspeak doesn’t make her a jerk. She didn’t ask to be born with the ability to charmspeak. That’s not fair. That’s like saying that Jason is a horrible person because he can fly. অথবা that Percy is a jerk for being able to breathe underwater without drowning. Plus, her charmspeak could really come in handy in their battles against Gaea and the giants.
12) “Piper is really shallow and only thinks about her looks”
Piper definitely thinks about her looks a lot, but I fail to see how she is shallow in any way, shape, অথবা form. Like I ব্যক্ত before, Piper keeps her problems to herself, rather than burdening other people with them. She cares deeply about Jason, who she is in প্রণয় with. She also shows her প্রণয় of Leo in the Mark of Athena when she leaps of the side of the freakin’ ship to hug him when she finds out he is alive. Piper knows the true meaning of being a daughter of Aphrodite, unlike Drew (who IS shallow, in my opinion):
“Aphrodite is about প্রণয় and beauty. Being loving. Spreading beauty. Good friends. Good times. Good deeds. Not just looking good.” –Piper McLean, The হারিয়ে গেছে Hero, Chapter 52
How is THAT shallow? No, Piper is NOT shallow.
13) “Piper is a jerk for considering betraying her বন্ধু to save her dad”
Seriously? Her dad CREATED her. He’s her only family that she knew before she met Aphrodite. And even though he ignored her sometimes, he still loves her and she loves him. How could anyone NOT consider saving their PARENT (unless it was some extreme circumstance where the parent is horrible to the kid অথবা hates the kid অথবা something, but that's not Piper's situation) even if it meant betraying their friends, especially if they had just found out that they didn’t really know their বন্ধু and all their memories of them were fake? Piper is NOT a jerk for wanting to save the man who created her, raised her, and loves her.
I hope that after all of this, I MAYBE JUST MAYBE convinced a few Piper-haters to give her a second-chance. She is a great character and she deserves to be loved as much as any other amazing character in The নায়ক of Olympus. :)

Piper, maybe.
kk so i know everybody wanted to die after finishing MOA, but then remembered that they couldnt read the পরবর্তি one if they did. i know. me too. but if আপনি think about it, its pretty obvious what happens, অথবা at least easy to draw conclusions. percabeth cant die. nono. RR would die if he did that to us. but somebody has to, maybe nico? hedge? idk but someone important tho. somebody ব্যক্ত that calypso was coming back and immediatly my "leoissingleandilovehim" lights started flashing. i mean, come on, hes the single, sexy beast, shes the single, depressed goddess. we all see it. but idk how she got freed? i mean, what is this magic? i think we may see some jeyna magic happening what with the percabeth mess and all that jazz, and octavion probably kicking her @$$ in some way, but again, idk. im kinda anti- piper cuz shes annoying, but she did save percy and jason so she earned some respect from me. but idk. post what আপনি think these are just ideas.
Dear Readers, This is my অনুরাগী Fic so please comment, and tell me what I can do to make this better.
Disclamer: I do not own these Characters, Rick Riordan does.
Percy-
Percy felt like a rock when he and Annabeth was tumbling towards tartarus. When they almost reached the ground, he turned so his body hit the ground and protected Annabeth. He heard Annabeth scream when he turned his body but he didn't care - all he wanted is for Annabeth to be safe. When he hit the ground he could hear his অস্থি crunching, Annabeth calling his name but he was slowly losing consciousness.

So in the YouTube video where rick reads part of chapter 2, Reyna mentions that she is the praetor of legion 12. Now in TLH Jason mentions that he is the praetor of the first legion. I believe that the legions are the same as the seperate cabins at Greek camp, therefore meaning the legions are seperated দ্বারা parent, and the praetors are like the counselors. As Zeus/Jupiter is কেবিন one at camp half blood, he might be legion 1 at camp Jupiter. Therefore as dionysus /Bacchus is the twelfth Olympian/cabin I am led to believe that her parent is Bacchus, therefore explaining the purple robe, and maybe her father even mentioned Percy to her and ব্যক্ত he'd be on his way to camp which is how she knew his name. Thoughts?
