I absolutely love Pipes! I think she has her flaws like the rest of us! I think ppl definitely stress how much she thinks about Jason! Because its not 99.9% it's about 50% she has her concerns other thn him. And she WAS helpful. I love her charmspeak.'everyone acts like its a easy get away but it doesn't always work. I think it makes her different. Ppl are always expecting a fight and they're disappointed when she does it but she took that human bulls horn just fine w/out it and she uses her dagger to see things. Normal teenage girls think about their boyfriends just as much. I think RR was trying to make a difference. Annabeth isn't the normal teenage girl, she's a hero like all the other characters besides frank) and When I say RR wants to make A difference I mean he finally created a character who isn't a hero exactly. She's a normal teenager on a quest to,save the world lol and that's why I don't think ppl like her bc she reminds them of themselves instead of looking up to her like they do Annabeth. I would like to see piper step up and become a hero though.
