And i have to agree with Hyperborean, RR did a really good job on all the female characters. Besides they have more in common than you think Zoe-Starlight-Nightshade. They are all brave,strong,courageous,beautiful,determined,protective of their loved ones (I mean read annabeths and pipers PoV they are both being jealous of Reyna so annabeth IS a bit whiny sometimes like piper but not that much), and powerful.
