True. But Piper being a tomboy makes her a bit more likable than before because otherwise, she will be even more shallow and conceited. She also isn't an all out tomboy like Clarrise. @Ea225225: Piper dresses like that because she hates attention. Her dad is a famous actor so she knows how getting a lot of attention feels. She dresses like that to either blend in with other people or to look normal. On the other hand, @Starsandsupernovae: Piper can be tomboyish, for example acting rough sometimes, pointing a dagger at Drew's chin, fighting monsters a lot, and etc. Of course, she isn't as tomboyish as Hazel, Annabeth or Reyna but she can still be tomboyish at times.
