Gender: Female

Birthday: February 11, 1998

Face claim: Maddie Hasson

Family/Housemates: Mom, dad, Jason and Ronan (older twin brothers), Dylan and Sean (younger brothers)

Address: 16 Aspen Street, Barfield

Personality:

Piper is a very clever girl with a lazy streak, and very poor self-confidence. She’s never thought of herself as pretty or smart or capable because she’s been raised her whole life to believe she could have done better. Growing up as the only daughter in a house full of misogynistic males didn’t help her cause. Any time she did something well, she was patronized and reminded that her brothers could do it just as easily with their eyes closed.

She’s also very afraid to voice her opinion or show signs of emotional instability which she views as being too girly and weak. She’s also picked up a lot of the snarky insults from her family, and tends to occasionally put other people down, without necessarily realizing that she was doing that. Most of the time, however, she’s very polite and well-mannered, always doing what she’s told and afraid to curse or be rebellious. This can backfire however, because whenever she gets angry, she will completely flip.

At times she can come off as being lazy and unmotivated, and occasionally she will make herself physically ill if she doesn’t feel motivated to go to school or a family outing. She suffers from depression, however, she’s too afraid to go see a counselor and just deals with it in whatever way she can manage. Usually, this support comes from her friends, but at times she can just shut them out.

Her happier side is more of a facade, but she comes off as being hugely sarcastic, witty and quite a jokester. She doesn’t share a lot about herself, but she does love listening to other people, even if she’s bad at giving advice or support.

History:

Piper was born in Barfield Hospital in 1998, one and a half years after her twin brothers, Ronan and Jacob. Her mother suffered postpartum depression after she was born, and her father had grown to believe that women weren't as important, so for the first few years of her life, Piper's only company came from her older brothers. She gained another sibling, Dylan, in 2000. She started to drift apart from her older brothers as they became more prejudiced and started telling Piper that she couldn't play with their toys. As a result, Piper started to stick to her own thoughts a bit more, and she spent a lot of her free time reading books until they were taken off her.

When she was four, her older brothers finally started school, and while she finally got some attention, it was short lived after her parents announced they were having another baby, Sean, who was born three days before Piper's fifth birthday. Piper started elementary school later that year, and while she was always happy to go and excited to bring home the work she had done, she soon realized that her parents didn't care as much as her teachers did, so she slowly stopped bringing back her work and got into the habit of throwing out any tests she didn't get a hundred percent on before she could get home. She also showed promise as an artist, but after finding out from her brother's that art was 'stupid and girly' she begged them not to tell her dad if she promised to stop.

She made a few friends in elementary school, most of whom drifted or moved away as they got into high school. Piper preferred to quietly blend in to the background, rather than make new friends, but thankfully, she still managed to make casual friends after being invited to sit with them. Nowadays, she's taking mostly accelerated classes, and she'll speak to almost anyone who will give her the time of day. She also spends a lot of time out of her house, sometimes spending it with her younger brothers, but mostly just killing time on her own.
