Hm, I see where you are coming from. I guess RR is just going off the stereotype that people who like make up and clothes wouldn't like getting dirty and fighting. But I think that's also why he included Silena to show that you can love to shop and still love to fight. And while Piper may not like makeup and clothes, I think RR is trying to prove that children of Aphrodite can be just as strong.
