Piper Huntington

Piper Huntington is a character in the animation series "The King's Heirs". She is the second eldest daughter of Alistair and Sylvana Huntington and the eldest living Huntington sibling following her sister Amber's death. In her young adult life she became somewhat of the matriarch of the Huntington family due to both her sister and Mother being gone and as the eldest surviving sibling she often helped care for and watch over her younger siblings when their father was off on his missions to clean up the mess Sylvana left behind. Piper lived happily with her family in the sorcerer state known as the Keltera Dominion when they attempted to form a treaty with the Nonblood kingdom ruled by the royal family of the Wellingtons. She joined her parents three of her siblings on a visit to the castle to begin the treaty process and met with two of the Wellington children. While she was more surprised at how primitive Nonblood society was compared to sorcerers noting how they didn't even have electricity (yet) her brother Desmond was more intrigued. Piper and their sister Amber were also a bit more easily offended by some of the Wellingtons comments but kept her good behavior. Unfortunately the treaty between their people did not work out and a short time later a group of Nonbloods attacked their home out of fear and killed her sister Piper and left her brother Noah mutilated. Because of this Piper like her parents developed a degree of malcontent for the Wellington family due to their inability to prevent this. This unfortunately lead to both her parents being consumed by grief and anger and eventually her mother trying to use the Gender Curse to wipe out the Nonblood population of the world. Eventually when her father rose up against Sylvana and managed to stop her Piper and a number of other allies helped him to try and repair the damage done by her mad campaign. With both her parents now cursed to live in statue form Piper effectivley took on the role of head of the household as their father recovered. Alistair then stubbornly chose to take on the more long term burden himself and left Piper to care for her sibling while he was away cleaning up Sylvana's mess. When Alistair sought to cure the Wellington family of their curses Piper and her younger brother Desmond wanted to bring their other siblings to see him after he was away from home for several days so they tracked him down and watched him closely waiting for the right moment. Piper tailed Alistair while Desmond went to fetch their younger siblings Noah and Ivy and eventually when they returned they revealed themselves to their father much to his surprise. After a short introduction to Princess Dawn piper argued along with Desmond and join Alistair in curing the other Wellingtons heirs and eventually convinced him. They joined him in his mission but unfortunately got caught up in a battle with a group of hired Mercenary sorcerers and an attempted coup by the young Prince Tristen. Piper was captured and mind controlled by the lead mercenary ad briefly made his puppet until she was freed by her brother and father and soon after helped her father Memory Alter the world to remember the Wellingtons as their restored selves. 
== Design/Appearance ==
Piper has a number of similar qualities to her mother Sylvana including her Purple eyes and red hair. She has fair skin and sizable curves with a fit figure. She is fairly tall and physically strong and wears a set of arcane armor and cloak with red and silver designs. She has also been seen in a few elaborate and elegant dresses in order to blend in when in Nonblood areas always colored in a deep crimson red. 
== History ==
Piper was the second eldest of the Huntington children and like her other siblings inherited strong magics from her parents including her mother's Ruby Bloodline, however her Mana Mark seems more similar to her father's in design. When she was around the age of 12 or so she lived with her family in the sorcerer state of the Keltera Dominion and traveled to the royal castle of the Wellington family hoping to help draw up a treaty between the Dominion and their Nonblood kingdom. She joined her parents, her older sister Amber and her two young brothers Desmond and an infant Noah. While the adults talk about the treaty with Noah resting in Alistair's arms Piper and the others admired the castle with Piper noting how primitive it was as it didn't even have electricity (yet). She also took notice of how Desmond seemed drawn to the eldest Wellington daughter, Princess Dawn whom came over to speak with them. While Piper seemed a bit offended by Dawn impudently calling them witches instead of sorcerers Desmond was more taken by Dawn and spoke with her in kind. Piper then likely joined them in a small tour of the castle. 
A short time after this visit however the treaty did not succeed and instead the Nonblood common folk reacted with fear and hatred of Sorcerer kind and attacked the village where the Huntingtons lived. Piper witnessed the attack but managed to survive, unfortunately her sister Amber was killed while protecting their younger brother Noah who himself had been mutilated and lost his arm and both legs. This attack left Piper with a hatred of the Wellington family who failed to prevent it. It also left her as the eldest surviving Huntington child. In the years that followed the attack Piper would see her parents consumed by grief and anger and unfortunately see her mother become irreparably corrupted and go mad attempting to spread the Gender Curse across the world in an effort to wipe out the Nonblood population. However Piper and Desmond would come to join their father against Sylvana's campaign (possibly being members of the original Sapphire Legion) and see her defeated. However when Alistair became cursed to live as a statue as a result Piper effectively became the head of the family until he recovered enough of his strength and was at least able to manifest as a construct. Piper and Desmond were then often left to care for their two young siblings Noah and Ivy while their father was away cleaning up Sylvana's mess. Most notably Piper was the one mostly in charge of caring for Noah who suffered constant on and off pain due to his prosthetic limbs. 
In 1458 when their father began his mission to cure the world of the Gender Curse by targeting the Wellington children Piper and Desmond manage to track him down and hope to surprise him by bringing their younger siblings to see him at work. While they at first keep their distance and lay low Piper is the one to tail Alistair as he pursues Prince Duncan while Desmond fetches the others. When they at last return Piper suggest they wait for the right moment but her younger sister Ivy is to excited and bursts out of the grass eager to hug her father. Piper joins the others in greeting Alistair as he introduces them all to the newly transformed Princess Dawn. While Desmond is a bit taken by her beauty Piper reminds him that she is a Nonblood and a Wellington (though its unclear if she is implying sorcerer Nonblood relations are not allowed or simply looked down on, or if her comment is more focused on the two families' bad history). She also mentions to Alistair how she needs to talk to him regarding Noah's condition as she's been caring for him in his absence. When Desmond makes the suggestion for them to join Alistair and help him cure the other Wellingtons Piper argues for it knowing her father's stubbornness but pleads with him to let them help this once. She initially wants to take Noah home to rest but he too asks to come along. She and the others then join Alistair and Dawn on a trip back to the royal castle.
In route to the castle Piper helps Alistair explain the story of Sylvana and her curse to Dawn while Desmond keeps the younger kids back as Ivy is in the dark to the full truth. Piper however questions Alistair on keeping the secret but he simply says he'll tell her when she's old enough. After the others rejoin them Piper helps get the others ready and to look like Nonbloods to get them into the castle and uses her magic to copy Dawn's dress in red and gives Ivy an identical one in blue. She then leads the group into the castle with help from Desmond transformed into Princess Grace. Once inside Piper joins Alistair and Noah in search of Prince Broady while the others search for the real Grace. However as they are looking Piper talks to Alistair and raises concerns about Desmond's attraction to Dawn. While both she and Alistair have reason to hate the Wellington family Desmond doesn't share their misgivings. Piper Alistair and Noah then sense a group of Warlock mercenaries in the castle and find they are kidnapping Prince Broady. Piper and Alistair in construct form engage them in a battle to try and save Broady but the leader spots Alistair's statue form as his Achilles heal being protected by Noah and attacks them. Seeing Noah hurt infuriates Piper and thanks to the power she inherited from her mother she manages to kill one of the mercenaries and drive them away. While she is unable to stop them from taking Broady she does overhear that Tristen the youngest Wellington sibling is the one who hired them in an attempt to ensure he inherited the throne. Piper then teleports to get Desmond in need of his help since Alistair and Noah are wounded. 
Soon after Piper heals Noah's wounds as they explain the circumstances to Dawn and the recently transformed Prince Gabriel. She then puts Noah to bed to rest for the night. After tucking him in Alistair arrives to see them both but Piper uncovers him in bed and argues with their father that he's outgrowing his prosthetics again and is in almost constant pain. She argues they need to take him to an emerald healer to have his arm and legs regenerated but Alistair argues he's too young to go through the pain of regrowing that much of his body and tells her that he'll forge him a new set once they get home. THe next morning Piper, Desmond and Alistair go to rescue Broady along with Dawn while the others wait in the castle. In the storage warehouse close by they find Tristen and his hired mercenaries arguing. As the two groups fight Piper goes for Tristen and uses her magic to transform him back into his/her true form Princess Talia. Rather then waist time arguing with her that this is her real form Piper uses a spell to rabidly restore her memories despite the risk of negative side effects. While Desmond and Alistair argue they need her help she continues the spell but this unfortunately leads tot eh Mercenary captain catching her. The Captain then reveals he can use the Diamond master spell of Sorcerer Control and mind controls Piper before her father can stop them. Piper is then enslaved to his will and threatens to hurt herself unless the others stand down and release his men. She then teleports away with the Mercenaries and Talia while the others are left wounded but successful in freeing Broady/Bianca. 
A few hours later Piper arrives with the mercenaries and Talia in the royal throne room where Noah and Ivy have just restored Queen Matilda to her natural form. Piper is still under the Mercenary captains control and binds her siblings and Bianca while Talia confronts and kills her mother and usurps the throne. A moment later the others arrive to try and stop them but Talia orders Piper to use Mass Memory Alter to make the kingdom believe Dawn killed the Queen and that Talia is their new ruler. Before Piper can cast the spell however Desmond fights with her trying to snap her out of her trance. The two siblings fight and Desmond manages to knock her out severing her mind control. Piper remains unconscious too long and is unable to help the Queen or stop Talia leaving only Noah to finally stop her attempted coup and save the others. She eventually recovers and with help from her and Alistair's past allies they manage to Mass Memory Alter the country if not the world to remember the Wellington siblings as their restored selves leaving them free to resume their lives and for Dawn to be crowned Queen in the wake of their mother's death. Soon after telling them this Piper watches as Desmond arrives and kisses Dawn much to her shock as Piper still feels he shouldn't pursue such a relationship but Alistair argues with her that neither of them have any right to command his heart and tells him he is free to love who he choses. 
Piper then leaves and resumes her life of caring for her siblings while their father is away so much and eventually starts a life of her own. Her exact course of life after this is unknown but its been mentioned by Alistair how she started a family of her own but he eventually lost touch with his grandchildren a few generations down the road and it is unknown if she has any living descendants by the 21st century. 
== Traits/Personality ==
Piper has a very "grown up fast" type of personality as well as a caring and protective side. Due to the death of her sister and the mental break of her mother Piper effectively was forced to take on the motherly role to her siblings and care for them in their father's absence. While she did have her brother Desmond for help at times she tended to be the one in charge overall. Because of this situation Piper was very caring and concerned with her siblings wellbeing. Piper served as the main caregiver to her younger brother Noah who suffered from near constant bone and joint pain due to his metal limbs. She would also often argue with their father on the best course of action when dealing with her siblings. She was also shown to have a very aggressive side likely inherited from her mother. While this gave her an advantage in combat it also caused her to let her guard down at poor times. Piper also carried a degree of past distain for those who wronged her family in the past based on her hostilities towards the Wellington family who failed to prevent the attack that cost the life of her sister. Overall Piper was extremally protective and caring of her family and while she may not have always gotten the final say she did serve as the main motherly figure following the imprisonment of Sylvana and Alistair's absence on his missions. 
== Abilities/Powers ==
Piper has inherited a degree of her mother's power over destructive combat magics as evidenced by her skill in battle against multiple mercenary Warlocks and easily disintegrating one when enraged by seeing her brother wounded. She also seems to be the most skilled out of the Huntington siblings likely due to the fact she is the oldest. However she is still unable to resist the Diamond Master Spell of Sorcerer control and is unable to resist the mind control until she is knocked unconscious by her brother. Despite her vulnerability to its master spell Piper does seem to be rather skilled in Diamond magic based on her skill in memory restoration and her ability to cast Mass Memory Alter with relative ease.
