Piper McLean

Gender : Female

Godly Parent : Aphrodite Cytherea

Mortal Parent(s) : Tristan McLean (father)

Sibling(s) : Aphrodite's Cabin members (maternal half-siblings)

Compared to the other children of Aphrodite, Piper is much more aggressive and down to earth, not constantly focused on herself or her looks. When claimed by Aphrodite, she complains that she can't get rid of her makeup or her new hairstyle and finds it to be annoying to say the least.

Before she was claimed by Aphrodite, Piper expressed that she wanted to be the daughter of Athena, Hecate or any goddess that wasn't Aphrodite, and she also thought Aphrodite cabin had been a "life-sized dollhouse" where supermodels went to die, and when she was claimed, she didn't fit in at all, and still doesn't.

Piper hates make-up, skirts, magazines, dresses and popular girls. She said that if she started a craving for fashion magazines, she would complain to her mother.

Piper also does not like it when Drew bullies the other Aphrodite children. She feels that Drew is running her cabin like a dictatorship and she doesn't truly understand what love is. Piper is not afraid to stand up to Drew, and because they can both use the charmspeak ability, Drew cannot control her like she does with the other campers.

Demigod Abilities

Amokinesis: As a daughter of Aphrodite, Piper has some control over many degrees of control over love, lust, beauty, etc. though on a much smaller scale than her mother.

She can attract the opposite gender when she walks by.
She may have the ability to change her physical features, as Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty.
Piper's powers may have increased, when she uses the power of love to melt Khione's ice and permanently start up Festus. However, it may be just a new-found understanding of her abilities.

Charmspeak: She has the "gift" of charmspeak, allowing her to influence others with enhanced vocal persuasiveness. It can even affect some of the gods. Piper's skill with charmspeak has improved to the point that she was even able to awaken Festus.

Beauty: She is able to radiate beauty, regardless of how she may look. This ability sometimes prevents enemy forces from willingly attacking her, even as she charges them head-on.

Ability to speak French: As a child of Aphrodite, she is noted in The Lost Hero to be able to speak French fluently due to it being the "language of love."
