Piper is described to be a very beautiful girl of Native American (Cherokee) descent, with dark tanned skin, chocolate-brown hair that is cut choppy and unevenly, with thin strands braided down on the sides, and eyes that seemed to change color like a kaleidoscope, going from brown to blue to green. Her beauty is such, that she drew attention even when trying not to do so. Jason, her boyfriend, also mentioned that he could stare all day into her eyes and not be able to figure out what color they were. Before she was claimed by Aphrodite, she seemed to have facial imperfections such as pimples, namely one at the base of her nose, which had been there for quite a while, though they appeared to have permanently vanished after the claiming, even after the blessing faded a few days later.
