User blog comment:TheChosenOnes/If you were Rick Riordan, who would you make the Seventh be?/@comment-4515675-20111017152741

Well my dream team would be Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Nico, Reyna, Frank and Hazel. So I'd pretty much just change Jason and Piper. Jason is incredibly powerful but he's a horrible leader so no loss there. As for Piper, funny how the only thing that makes her special is her charm speaking ability but this is not a power that only the Aphrodite kids have. Both Circe and Meadea could charm speak and neither of them were related to Aphrodite directly. Therefor Piper is replaceable.

But alas, this is just me wishfully thinking. Why is it that the really good characters never get the spotlight that they deserve?
