Piper

Biography

Piper was lucky to always have  the support of her parents, who own part of Ira's parents' ranch. She loves horses and riding has been most of her life.

She's always been fantastic in school but a complete loner which always worried her mother. Really, Ira was her only friend until she began hanging out with the other and sort of slowly becoming more comfortable. *''[Her mother] made such a big deal of it, washing her some fresh clothes and bringing home a bunch of chips Piper could bring along."*

Initially, Piper was really resistant to everything with the group, mainly because it was taking up all of Ira's attention and she felt she was losing him as a friend to the others. After she heard his points about wanting to be involved she felt judged and stopped talking to him, but really she was judging herself. She was too stubborn to admit it and returned to Slayer Support without him, but they made up by the end of "*Rotten Eggs*" (Ep 8

* In Ep 9 "Bitterroot" the group is in a car accident. Piper breaks her arm and Mia gets a mild concussion. The van is totaled and the group is stranded. A storm begins to brew and Ira goes missing after searching for a stick for Piper's cast. Marley and Mia go looking for Ira, while Topher decides that he wants to retrace their steps back along the road and see if he can get back to the gas station. Lois goes with him but they ultimately turn back. Mia and Marley find a cabin in the woods with ritualistic writing and a hay man inside. Matt, Piper and Stella lay low at camp. Marley and Mia find Ira and drag him back to the camp, where Stella tends to his wounds. Topher and Lois return, unsuccessful in getting help. Over the night Lois sees a wendigo attack a wild animal, Lois wakes Marley who says they'll deal with it in the morning. Stella makes everyone pancakes and they realize Ira has a fever. Some of the group doubt Lois saw what she said she did.
* During "*Bitterroot*" (Ep 9) she is invited on a camping trip with the group. She breaks her arm during the car accident but is really brave about it, and despite all the evil still appreciates being there with people who want her there. Later in "*Uncanny Valley*" (Ep 10) after being sneezed on by the flower she has hallucinations that she is being beaten up by an invisible figure. She decides not to share this with the others when they ask if she had any hallucinations.
* In Ep 10 "Uncanny Valley" Piper is attacked by a scarecrow demon inside of the tent while Stella and Topher check the perimeter, Topher saves her and they all hide in the car. The scarecrow breaks the window and begins to choke Piper, while Topher and Stella try to pull her away. Matt shows up and cuts the demon in half.
* On their return in "*Genesis*" (Ep 11) Piper is picked up from the hospital by her mother and banned for riding for three weeks after her cast comes off, though her father will surely get her to relent. Molly believes Piper was "trying to be cool" after Piper says she just didn't want to be her for a while.

Piper is sixteen years old and a Junior at South Howell. She's an exemplerary student and a major teacher's pet, called a star student by her history teacher and the favorite of her english teacher.

## Personality

Piper is loving and kind-hearted but dangerously sensitive. Her main fault being that she is sometimes rather childish and she's prone to emotional outbursts, something she's more than aware of.

## Relationships

#### Friendships

```
Ira

```

* Piper and Ira grew up side by side since they were two years old and their parents were and have always been best friends. Gloria and Parker own stables by the property where they run their own ranch, which Piper's parents own part of. Their families go camping every summer for a week.
* Piper is extremely concerned about Ira being upset in Ep 3 "Pandora's Box". She is not used to seeing him get so wound up.
* Fight in "*Rotten Eggs*" (Ep 8) over Ira’s need to help Marley and be involved in the danger. He tells Piper he doesn’t want her involved and she is greatly offended. He later apologizes, she says she was being immature and they make up.
* In *"Bitterroot*" (Ep 9) he invites along on camping trip. They comfort each other when both are injured. In "*Uncanny Valley*" (Ep 10) says when Piper and him used to play pretend he would never play the bad guy, except that one time he was the Green Lantern. Ira later feels guilty for inviting her on what turned out to be an awful trip full of almost dying, Piper tells him it isn't his fault and she's glad he invited her.
* Piper guesses that Marley likes Mia based on how she acts, which Mia admits to her in "Party Crashers" (Ep 5). She's also aware that Mia doesn't like Ira due to jealousy. *"“That’s Marley, right?” said a voice. “It looks like her. But, that doesn’t make any sense.” Mia turned to see it was Piper that was talking to her, her red braid tied behind her as if she were going riding instead of at a party. She was also dressed a little weird, a little weirder than Mia even with her costume. For one, she had a collared shirt on. “Yes it’s Marley,” Mia said, leaning back against the wall. “And no, it doesn’t make sense.”
    Piper folded her arms, the two of them probably looking a bit insane if either Marley or Ira were to look up, luckily they did not. “They are literally nothing alike. Ira is Ira, and Marley is, well, I don’t know her that well, but she’s definitely not like Ira.”
    “She isn’t,” Mia said. “I think she’s having some kind of nervous breakdown or something, this has all been hard on her. But it’s weird and she’s totally going to regret it when she realizes what she’s doing because that’s going to make things so awkward.”
    “I don’t know Mia, they seem pretty solid,” Piper said. “I mean, I guess they have that in common,” she said, pondering this. She hated that Ira was making so many new friends, not only was he making a bunch of them - but he fell right in with them, he fit. It all started with Matt, from there it was an upwards spiral for Ira. For Piper it was like watching her best friend fade away. Standing there, with Marley, she could imagine him disappearing completely and there was nothing she could do about it.
    “Do you like him? Ira?” Mia asked, turning to look at Piper.
    “Oh, no,” Piper said. “Maybe when we were little, but we’re just close friends. We practically grew up together, I’ve known him since we were three. We used to ride ponies together, and we’d all go camping for like a week every summer. I think we’re going again this summer, actually-.” Piper stopped, she could see that Mia had stopped listening, she was staring again. “But you like Marley,” she said, which suddenly made a lot of sense.
    Mia looked at Piper and sighed. “No one really knows,” she said. “I kind of tried to tell Matt earlier, but I think all I did was confuse him,” she admitted. “Now I really don’t want to talk to him. And I don’t want to talk to Lois either, because, well she’s the devil.”
    “Lois isn’t that bad,” Piper said, surprising Mia. “Big bark, I think. I don’t know her that well but I don’t know, met meaner.”
    “Really?” Mia rose an eyebrow at Piper. She suddenly liked her a lot less.
    “You seem to really care about her,” Piper said. “Marley, do you know if she-.”
    “No,” Mia said. “As far as I know she doesn’t even like girls. Never said anything about it to me.”
    “Did you ever ask?” Piper asked.
    “No!” Mia snapped. “No. Don’t tell anyone. I shouldn’t have even said anything, to either of you. I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately, I’m just so overwhelmed. She’s so busy, being the slayer and dating really dangerous men, I miss my best friend.”
    “Why don’t you go say hi to her?” Piper asked. “And I’ll say hi to Ira, we can pretend it’s all normal.”
    Mia appreciated that, deciding she had been too quick to judge Piper. Maybe she just saw the best in people. Even if they were Lois, who was barely a person."*

```
Matt

```

* Matt comforts Piper when she cries during Ep 9 &10 when him, her and Stella are left alone at the base. *“Time will pass faster if you rest,” he tries. “He’ll be back before you know it.”*
* In Ep 10 "Uncanny Valley" Piper is attacked by a scarecrow demon inside of the tent while Stella and Topher check the perimeter, Topher saves her and they all hide in the car. The scarecrow breaks the window and begins to choke Piper, while Topher and Stella try to pull her away. Matt shows up and cuts the demon in half.
* Piper thinks Matt is a good listener.

```
Stella

```

* In "Bitterroot" (Ep 9) Stella went with her to confront Marley about Ira being missing.
* Spent a lot of time together in Ep 9 in the tent, both cried.
* In Ep 10 "Uncanny Valley" Topher, Piper and Stella remain at camp while the others go exploring. Stella and Piper handle the straw man while Topher attempts to fix the car. When Stella and Piper get scared, they make Topher go and check it out. Piper is attacked by the strawman but Topher drags her out of the way and gets hurt. The three of them then hide in the car until Matt comes back and kills it.

```
Mia

```

* Piper and Mia met in Science class, they were working on a project together. When Stella goes missing Piper calls Mia because she knows she knows Marley, who knows Lois, who Stella is with at the time.
* During "*Party Crashers*" (Ep 5) Piper and her talk about what an unusual pairing Ira and Marley make. Piper is happy Ira is happy, however, while Mia is distraught. "

    Mia appreciated that, deciding she had been too quick to judge Piper. Maybe she just saw the best in people. Even if they were Lois, who was barely a person."*
* Piper approaches Marley and Ira with Mia during Ep 5 at the house party. She watches Mia freak out on Marley and Ira and does her best to defend them. She also learns Mia is gay.*"“Mia!” Marley’s decently intoxicated at this point, but maintains control of her body and mind for the time being. “I was hoping I’d find you,” she says, despite how obvious it was she hadn’t been looking. “I’ve been hearing this crazy rumor about you.”
    “What?” Mia said sharply. “What rumor?”
    Ira wasn’t drunk, maybe a little tipsy. He knew telling Mia was a bad idea as soon as Marley said it, but he didn’t think he had the right to police what she said to her friend. He winced instead as he watched how quickly Mia had worked herself up. He had a feeling she knew exactly what Marley was talking about, and probably very much did not want to hear it.
    Marley grins, playfully and somewhat painfully poking Mia in the ribs. “Come on, you know. It’s kind of an odd coupling but hey, at least he’s a nice guy. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about Matt.”
    “Why would you think that!” Mia yelled. Piper was completely lost. “How could you ever think that about me? Don’t you know me at all?”
    Marley gaped, stunned at her best friend’s sudden temper. It wasn’t her fault that people were talking about her, and if she didn’t want them to she shouldn’t be hiding out in a men’s restroom with Matt Valentine. “Mia, what the hell?” She looks to Ira for evidence she isn’t insane.
    “I did hear about that,” Ira said. “But, uh, it isn’t true. I mean, Matt would have told me.”
    “And I am right now telling you that it’s not true,” Mia said. Her heart was racing, like she was being chased- which she wasn’t. “I don’t like boys. And you would know if I had! Why are you being like this?” she said to Marley. She didn’t give her the chance to answer, shaking her head. “Why am I even asking? I know exactly why you’re being like this.”
    Piper flickered between the three of them, thinking coming over here had been a pretty bad plan.
    “What?” Marley can’t totally decipher what Mia is getting at, and she’d much prefer it if she’d just spit it out instead of beating around the bush. “If you’ve got something to say, say it!” She snaps, moving closer to Mia’s face and challenging her to step up.
    She glared at Ira, making it clear he was, of course, at fault. Ira didn’t know exactly what he had done.
    “This just. It isn't you Marley. And I think you're going to regret it when you sober up, frankly it's embarrassing. I mean no one else is groping all over each other-.”
    “They were only dancing,” Piper said.
    “I thought you were on my side.”
    “Why are there sides?” Ira asked.
    “You and her don't make any sense. Not any. I'm sorry, but you're, you're different from her.”
    “How?” Ira asked. He knew they were different, but he wasn't a convict, he hadn't done anything wrong.
    “You should just makeout and get it out of your systems, maybe then you'll start acting normal again,” she said to Marley, stalking away from the others. She had hoped to embarrass them but Ira was more hurt than embarrassed.
    “I don't think Mia likes you very much,” Piper said to Ira.
    “Yeah, I think I got that.” Ira seemed a little bummed. Piper understood, the way other people felt rubbed off on her so easily. Ira liked to pretend he was immune to that, but he wasn't. Piper wanted to scoop him up and take him home, but she knew that wasn't her role as his friend. He liked this girl, clearly, she liked him, clearly, and she wasn't going to upset him by getting in the way of things. She thought maybe she should explain that to Mia.
    “She's pretty drunk,” Piper said, though she wasn't sure. “I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it.”
    “I am not,” Marley boomed, thinking Piper was talking about her and growing increasingly annoyed with the present company. She hadn’t consented to an ambush in the middle of her best friend’s house party. Generally, when someone pissed her off the way Mia just did, she’d spend the rest of her night fuming and maybe confront her about it later on. Tonight though, Marley was very distracted by the shape of Ira’s mouth. It almost immediately sucked the anger out of her.
    She sighs, taking in Ira’s appearance. His eyes are flickering. “Is something wrong?”
    “It’s just kind of mind-bogglingly hot in here,” Ira said. He hadn’t felt all that hot before, maybe it was the adrenaline or he’d suddenly become aware other people were at this party, turning the room suffocating. “I could use some air.”
    “Oh,” Piper said, thinking she should get out of their way. “I think I see Stella over there, I’ll go say hello.”*

Marley

```

* Piper is kind of intimidated by Marley, in Ep 2 Marley states *“'She avoids me at all costs and then acts like she doesn’t. It’s whatever though, I’d avoid anyone called ‘the slayer’.”*
* Piper sees that Ira is into Marley and feels a bit like she is losing her bestfriend. She tries to be understanding about it, seeing that Ira and Marley are happy, and that's what really matters. *"“That’s Marley, right?” said [Piper]. “It looks like her.
