Pip Warrent

:"You owe me. You're lucky there's so little I want with you." - Pip to Emma R. Gency.
Phillipa 'Pip' Warrent is an archivist and personal injury claims consultant at Firbank and Deller. She is a 'friend' of Emma R. Gency in that she surreptitiously cleans up her messes and ties up the countless loose ends.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Warrent is a tall human woman with black hair, streaked with gray (for which she blames Gency). She has thick brows and a scar from her lip to her left eye, from a fight in her youth. She is often seen wearing warm clothing, mainly her heavy black winter coat and some form of cable-knit jumper. She also often wears dark glasses to hide her maimed left eye. Her clothing is darkly coloured and accentuated with gold buttons and pins.
===Personality===
Warrent is stoic and severe, curtly-spoken and antisocial, mostly due to her own social awkwardness. She dislikes large groups. Despite her being a busy work-oriented lone wolf, she is extremely sentimental, as shown by her signature baseball bat, Bluebell. She becomes irritated with others quite easily.
===Skills & Abilities===
Warrent has the uncanny ability to always strike her opponent in their center of gravity while in melee or unarmed combat. The exception is when wielding Bluebell at close range, where there is a 10% chance of striking the opponent's head. She also has the ability to guess with an accuracy of 75% where Emma R. Gency is at any given moment, but this accuracy drops to 0 when Warrent is actively avoiding her colleague.
Along with being a 'whip-smart lady with a mind like a bear trap' according to Gency, she is nearly impossible to restrain, being an unnervingly talented escape artist and great with knots, keys and other bindings, even when unable to see her restraints. She is a good advisor, pragmatic and reliable, and does not sugarcoat situations.
==History==
Born in Quebec, Phillipa Warrent was orphaned as a preteen when her parents and one sibling were killed in a car accident. After three years in the foster circuit, she was adopted by a single father and life was better for a short while. Phillipa, nicknamed 'Pip' by adults and 'Bluebell' by her father, became reclusive due to bullying in school, while her siblings Destiny, Kit and Alastaire attempted to support her, to little effect.
When Pip was 19, her father became severely ill, having contracted a rare disease at work. Incensed and terrified at the prospect of losing another parent, Pip fought to have the court recognise that her father's illness was not pre-existing and in fact a result of the workplace's negligence. Eventually the Warrent family won the case, but it was too late, and their father passed away.
This prompted the siblings to go their own ways, with Destiny departing to medical school, Alastaire becoming a musician and Kit disappearing off the face of the globe. Pip went to law school in the hopes of gaining the expertise and recognition to help other families as they deserve. Here she was roommates with Emma R. Gency, and hated almost every second of it.
Following a spell as a private investigator and independent legal consultant, Pip would become a consultant and archivist at Firbank & Deller, only to then realise that Gency worked there also. After inadvertently witnessing one of Gency's sprees as Captain Collateral, Warrent realised that Gency was in over her head, and began secretly chipping in. This started out with Warrent threatening and wounding allies of the former Kazantzakis that came to Valdez to get revenge for the mafia's destruction, and now consists of Warrent taking days off when Gency returns from her sprees and using this time to cauterise loose ends, resolve unresolved conflicts and violently intimidate any person who might want revenge on the ultra-destructive captain.
==Trivia==
* As Warrent takes time off immediately after Gency does, some Firbank & Deller staff theorise that Warrent dislikes Gency, which is further supported by Warrent explicitly telling Gency that she dislikes her.
** Gency has disproven this by telling everyone that she and Warrent are 'great pals'.
* Warrent has affiliations with the Von Butch Mafia, despite living halfway across the country from Niw Yoick, after an incident with notorious roamer Beronice von Butch.
*Her name is a reference both to 'personal injury protection' insurance (PIP) and to a warrant or warranty.
