Background:

Personality:

Everyone deserves to know the truth.

As Diamond City's best, no - only reporter, Piper is a woman dedicated to her craft. Not because of the fame that it brings her, hell - if anything it has made her an infamous and disliked individual by many within the city walls. To the point where the Mayor even tries to have her forbidden from entering and threatens to take away her printing press. No, she does it because she feels that it is her duty as a reporter to do just that. Keep people informed. It's a tough job, comes with it's perks, as well as it's cons. Piper is a loud presence. She's blunt with her words, and like with everything - she says just what's on her mind. Polite or not. Usually something that'll get her in trouble. Snarky quips and comebacks for all! And she knows how to bullshit to get what she needs - roping an unsuspecting passerby into a lie that'll trick Danny Sullivan into letting her in, for example.

Or tricking radiation worshipping cultists into believing that she had a vision of their God to keep them from sacrificing her to him, and accidentally joining them. It's been an interesting life. 

She can be pushy. Really pushy. Doesn't like taking no for an answer, and patience isn't exactly a strong trait with her, either. That being said, she doesn't lack compassion or empathy and will usually back down if she's crossing a line. She does care a great deal for people, and her friends - the ones that she's got, anyways. 

Piper is observant, able to piece things together - kinda has to be, comes with the job. Regardless of the sole survivor (player character) still wearing the bright blue vault suit, or not she'll recognize them as a vault dweller due to the way that they look, giving them the nickname "Blue".

A fan of nicknames, clearly.

As an older sister, Piper is responsible for raising her younger sister given that their mother left the picture a long time ago, and her father was murdered. She is stupidly proud of Nat, but t's difficult to balance her work and the dangers that come out of it, and keeping Nat grounded, as well as trying to give her some semblance of normalcy. Or at least as normal of an upbringing as someone can have in the Commonwealth. Her biggest fear is that Nat will turn out like her, take up her big sister's job, spend her days getting shot at, have attempts made on her life, become very unpopular, and lonely. It causes her to distance herself from her sister, slightly - at least until she can figure out how to deal with her idolization. 

It was her father's murder that brought Piper into her profession, or rather the need to keep people informed. He was part of a city guard, and he was murdered. Investigation brought to light the truth that the authorities refused to investigate - the captain of the city guard was planning on giving the city over to raiders, her father found out about it, and the man murdered him. When she finds this fact out, she outs the captain by listing his crimes for all to see - and the people of the city throw the man out, and fend off the raiders when they arrive. But she doesn't take responsibility for saving these people from raiders, they acted when they knew the truth, and saved themselves. That is why she does what she does. Keep people informed, knowing what they're up against. But she doesn't really take into account the consequences or affects of what she's doing - the raised paranoia from the people within Diamond City, over the synths and their possible infiltration. 

After what happened with her father, she and Nat go to Diamond City, they see the shit and muck of the city, and everything that's wrong there, and that's what brings Piper to start the paper. As good as she feels the work is, it has brought it's fair share of trouble to her - attempts on her life (the mark of a successful reporter, by her very own words), multiple arrests (the lockup in the security office was known as "The Piper suite", for a time given how many times she'd been arrested) as well as a certain unpopularity, and lack of trust towards her. People don't particularly like her company, try to avoid her or tell her to go away when she approaches them, for an interview or not. Or don't like that her work isn't fluffy or happy. Good times. 

As such, she doesn't really have many friends. Or any, save for her sister and Nick. Her introduction in the game has her trying to get back in the city after the Mayor has informed security that she's not allowed back in. The man finds her a menace, and a bringer of trouble after her articles are published, and her feelings on him and the way he runs things aren't particularly pleasant, either. People going missing and security isn't doing anything about it? The mayor isn't talking about the disappearances? If you ask her, these are connected - there's a reason that these things are getting swept under the rug and she makes it her mission to get to the bottom of it and expose the mayor, and that he might be a tool of the Institute. A synth. That, and discovering all she can about said organization, the Commonwealth's boogeyman, that steals people and replaces them with synths. 

Of course, she's afraid of them herself and not without reason. After all, she's putting herself out there, letting the Institute know that she's onto them, and she fears that one day they'll target her as a means to get her out of their hair if she gets too close to the truth, or just because they can take her.

It's a trade-off that she's willing to suffer it means that people are that much safer, knowing what they do. That's what makes it all worth it. It might not be the nicest place, but it's home and these people deserve whatever help in surviving that they can get. 

Abilities:

Alignment: Peromel. Piper, as a whole has hope. Hope that the world that they live in is a good one, and that people will get to live in a better place someday.
