Yeah, I was surprised too. And, ironically, that answer was not that good either, but the ones wiki ate it were more fine...

And...Since we are talking about the characters, I would like to say something about Piper. But it will be spoiler for most people. So, If you didn't read the Burning Maze yet, you do not read this.

Okay. Piper was my least favorite character in the HoO. Mainly because, she was lack of development. I was found her so unrealistic. She has had flaws, but no one ever mentions it. She has had mistakes and faults, but again, no one ever mentions it. She did some wrong things, but she didn't face any of the real consequence/consequences, either. And since, for me, the three basic and important elements that makes story, plot and character interesting and good...Piper were lack of those things; her flaws always ignored and dismissed, even if she has had flaws, no one ever mentions those things nor no one ever pointed out those flaws, so this automatically makes that, her flaws are unseen, and it makes that her flaws are not important and like, non-existent. It was one of the things that bothered me and bored me so much, when I was reading the books. She was so unreal, even in the BoO, I was still found her undeveloped... And that goes on and on.

But now, I hope that will change. I see the glimps of character development for Piper in the Burning Maze, finally, thanks to Riordan. That break-up was so needed and necessary for Piper and Jason's character development and personality. And finally, Piper is less-delusional now. She found out and realized the truth and thanks for Riordan because of that. I felt sorry for Jason, because we could've been saw his character development if he didn't die so quickly. Riordan gave him more personality in the book, but yet, he killed him so quickly and that was the saddest part for me. But I hope, in the future books, Piper gets more personality and development. Because for the first time, I saw her less-unrealistic and like a more real character, who has a real potential.
