Aphrodite's Cabin

"Gah, is that where super models go to die?"

- Piper's reaction to Aphrodite's Cabin when she first saw it

Aphrodite's cabin (#10) has a painted roof, with pillars and a blue-and-white checkerboard deck with steps, with gray walls. It is filled with beautiful girls with designer clothing, and very good-looking and handsome boys. In The Lost Hero the cabin is described as a pink 'Barbie house' with a pink door, lace curtains and potted carnations by the window. The inside of the cabin smells very heavily of perfume. The inner walls of the cabin are pink with white window trim. The curtains and beds are pastel blue and green. Every person has a chest with their name painted on it. Their personal bunk spaces were decorated with famous and hot Hollywood movie stars and singers, but with pictures of family members, too.

Powers

 * They can attract the opposite gender when they walk by (as thier mother was a seductress in Greek myths).
 * Magical control over clothes, makeup, and jewelry, mentioned by the Stoll brothers in The Demigod Files.
 * Minor degree of love magic.
 * Ability to change their physical features because Aphrodite is also the goddess of beauty.
 * Some have the ability to charmspeak: allowing them to influence other people by speaking their opinion.
 * The ability to speak fluent French as it is "the language of love" as mentioned by Boreas.
 * They also appear to have incredibly adept social cuing abilities to the point where they can almost read minds, as evidenced by both Drew's threat to expose Piper and Piper's understanding of Chiron and Annabeth's silent conversation.

Film
The cabin isn't seen in the film version of The Lightning Thief, although a group of Aphrodite girls can be seen waving to Grover in one of the scenes in the lake.

Aphrodite's Rite of Passage
In The Lost Hero, one camper tells Piper about the rite of passage. For a child of Aphrodite to prove herself/himself, he/she must fall in love and break someone's heart. It is unknown how this got started. At the end of the book, Piper decides to get rid of it after becoming head counselor. Silena Beauregard also broke the rite of passage tradition, when she fell in love with Beckendorf and stayed in love.
