Perfect
This has been sitting on my computer for a while, so here I go trying to make Drew a better character.
DISCLAIMER: Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus are not own by me.
Perfect isn't a fact, it's an opinion. An opinion that could describe you or somebody else around you. Perfect can be makeup. Perfect could be just the right wave. Perfect could be a Mary Sue or Gary Sue (Though those don't count because Mary Sues aren't always perfect, the author may see them as a regular person, it's their opinion) Perfect is an emotion that is so twisted you can't help but call it perfect. Perfect isn't a fact, it's an opinion so stop trying so hard to be somebody else's opinion.
Beneath all that makeup she was in pain. In pain for losing a fight she was never in, for losing a guy that never liked her in the first place, and for being replaced by someone so, so, so…Perfect!
Beneath all that makeup she was trying to be Perfect, the one thing she wasn't when she was in school. Camp was her new start. She relied on that one thing too much. (She regrets that now though)
Now she was the one left broken hearted. Now she was the one that it seemed like she was having her own rite of passage done to her. Now she was the one who took so much time being Perfect, she lost what she never had in the first place (Friends, Jason, Her perfection). Now she felt used, just a stepping stone to popularity.
Perfect (she hates that word), that's the word that describes Piper McLean (She hates those words too, especially together) so well.
Piper gets everything: the boy (she can care less now), Cabin Leader (She tried so hard to get it for it only to be taken away), being one of the Chosen Seven (she can live without that though, to much blood and pain), the superstar dad (she doesn't have a dad anymore and her mom never talks to her), everything.
She tried so hard being mean to get where she wanted, she would do anything to stay on top (Maybe even so far she would kill someone to do it). Little did she know it became a habit. A little dirty, lying, cheating, Perfect, pretty habit.
That's what she is though: a little dirty, lying, cheating, Perfect, pretty habit. That's what everyone thinks when they look at her.
In their world Piper is a hero and she is the villain who uses her (Perfect) powers for bad.
She spent so much time trying to be perfect but in the end everyone saw her as a piece of nothing. She considers joining Gaia's side but she knows she will just die in the end of this (Perfect) little fairy tale she has been stuck in for her whole messed up life (Silena would know).
She spent so much trying to be somebody else; she forgot who she was in the first place. Maybe that's what messed her life up.
Perfection=A deadly weapon that if used in the wrong way will blow up in your face sooner or later in your life.
She doesn't know how Percy Jackson and Jason Grace think of Annabeth Chase and Piper McLean as perfection but maybe that's what they are; Perfection that was used properly.
She then realized something; she was never Perfect in the first place.
She looked out the cabin window remembering what Percy Jackson said once to a newbie though he was looking at her (she didn't understand at the time though) "I'm not perfect, kid. Think all you want, but the word perfect is anything but me"
Drew just realized what the whole meaning of Percy Jackson's (he says he isn't perfect, but she sees him as that-it's her opinion though-someone Perfect enough to be leader of Camp Halfblood, someone Perfect enough to represent Camp and go to the Romans, someone Perfect enough to be in two Big Prophecies) words were meant for her to learn:
Perfect isn't a fact, it's an opinion so stop trying so hard to be somebody else's opinion
