She is EXTREMELY underdeveloped compared to all the other characters. Most of what we get from her character is that she is obssessed with her boyfriend, she is pretty, and...well...she looks good? That is pretty much it. Anything else we see from her character seems to be rather forced. Because of this lack of development, we care very little for her character. If she were to die, most fans would simply shrug and move on. However if a character like, Annabeth or Leo died, fans would freak out. THATS the problem with Piper. She is badly underdeveloped. Even SECONDARY characters from the first series got more development than her (see Nico and Thalia for more on that) The only worse character in terms of development is Reyna (this is slightly more understandable than Piper...but not much)
