After getting attacked by a group of storm spirits, Piper learns that she is a demigod, as are her friends Jason Grace and leo valdez. They are then escorted to Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for Greek demigods, where she is claimed to be the daughter of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.
Her Background-Piper is the demigod daughter of Aphrodite and Tristan McLean, a famous movie star of descent. Resentful of her father's busy filming schedule, Piper steals to gain his attention. She steals all kinds of expensive items from stores, including jewelry. This often gets her in trouble, and makes her father upset with her. Shes been kicked out of 5 different schools. Soon after she steals a car, Piper is sent to the Wilderness School. Piper conceals her famous father's identity from others around her except her close friends.
Her Appearence- Piper has short choppy chocolate brown hair, which she cut unevenly with a pair of plastic scissors, with thin braided strands on the sides of her face, and eyes that change like a kaleidoscope; brown, blue, etc. She is Native American. Despite being a daughter of Aphrodite, she usually wears simple clothes, dislikes excessive makeup and generally attempts to downplay her appearance. When she is claimed by Aphrodite, she is given the goddess' blessing of temporary extreme beauty which lasts a couple days. During this time, she is dubbed, much to her annoyance, "Beauty Queen" by Leo, a brother-like figure to Piper. Jason describes Piper as 'a knockout' 'cute' and 'pretty' after she received this blessing. In the Mark of Athena, Piper wears a white eagle's feather braided into her hair.
Her Abilities- Piper is gifted with the ability to charmspeak, a magical speaking ability that allows her to successfully persuade others into doing what she wants by simply ordering them to but after so long the person she charmspoke is know not brain washed and they notice what she did that is why she is always getting in trouble. Before she found out she was a demigod, she used this power to steal from stores to get her father's attention. When Piper later is charmspoken herself, she starts to feels guilty about having this power because she knows it is mean to brainwash people into doing what she wants. However, she still uses this power against her enemies.
Piper can also speak fluent Franch, as all children of Aphrodite can. Because she is a demigod, the language of Ancient Greek comes naturally to her, as it does to all other Camp Half-Blood demigods. Piper also possess limited about of Amokinesis, the ability to control love, as she can sense love between people and herself, as according to her mother she sees more into Jason and her relationship because she can sense the love between the two. She also possesses the ability of Beauty Attraction, as is demonstrated by her ability to stop monsters from attacking her by convincing them that they think she is pretty. Because her mother, Aphrodite, has the power to change her appearance, Piper has eyes that change color - from blue to green to brown.
Her Weapon- Piper's chosen protective tool, Katoptris, is a long, eighteen-inch-blade ceremonial knife, sheathed in black leather. The meaning is "Looking Glass". The knife was originally a wedding present to Helen of Troy, who mainly used it as a mirror. She soon learns that she can see the future through the knife's blade. It has a handle of polished wood, and a gleaming bronze blade. Although Piper mainly uses the knife to see the future, she does use it in melee on occasion. During The Mark of Athena, she also obtains a cornucopia, which she is able to use to surprising effectiveness by launching a high-velocity torrent of food at opponents. She uses it to defeat Hercules (by burying him under a mountain of food), several mummified nymphs (by producing enough water to rehydrate them), and a pair of leopards (by giving them a tasty pot roast).
