Physical Appearance
Piper is often considered by those who know her to be a sort of wild child. When she can, she lives outside, often only coming in to eat or sleep. Because of that, her skin is either chapped, sunburned, or more covered in more freckles than ever. Every winter, her freckles fade somewhat, but they return with a vengeance whenever spring rolls back around. Her hair is hard to comb and tame, and when in her natural habitat of the woods, it’s often full of twigs, leaves, flowers, and all other sorts of plant matter. She doesn’t wear shoes when she doesn’t have to, often running around home and even Hogwarts without them on unless it’s class time. Her clothing itself always in some form of rumpled mess, and if it wasn’t for the House Elves, they really wouldn’t be cleaned or pressed either. It’s not that she’s a slob, it’s just that she doesn’t really care about her appearance, only the next Adventure.
Personality
Hardworking Loyal Tolerant of Others Natural Speedy Blunt Non-confrontational Stubborn
Piper is a fast one, quick and light on her feet, but also always darting from place to place like a hummingbird or a rabbit. While she’ll sit down and take care of business, often working hard at her school work, she fidgets and doesn’t sit still happily. She was given a good talking to by her Gram before she started school, being told that she had to make sure her grades were good. She didn’t want to disappoint the only family she really had (her cousin didn’t count) so she made sure to always focus, if she could.Her instincts to be as natural as possible, she probably weirds many people out. However, she’s a small wild thing, and while she can function as human, she often likes to pretend otherwise. As such, she hates baths or showers, unless it’s in a pond or river. She also doesn’t worry about brushing her hair or about any sort of fashion. She just uses what she has, and just goes with it.
She is quite loyal to any friends she makes, and does her best to keep any promises she makes to either humans, humanoids, or animals. Especially animals, since they never really understand, unless you can talk to them in their language, and she hasn’t figured out how to do that yet. She’s quite tolerant of others, which helps because she lives near groups of ‘beasts’, which mostly consists of merpeople.
Since Pip hates fights, she’ll go out of her way to avoid them as much as possible. She doesn’t even like debating, but will stand up for herself if she feels she needs to. She’s also quite blunt, lacking in both social skills and ‘give a fuck’, especially if someone is trying to get on her bad side.

History
Pip has spent all her life living in the middle of one of Wales’ beautiful forests with her grandmother. While her parents love her dearly, they have a bit too much wanderlust in them, and thus left her care to her father’s mother as they travel the world. Having Piper was difficult, and as such her mother couldn’t ever have any more children, even though Pip was an accident in and of itself. They never wanted to have kids, but they never thought of an abortion or anything muggle like that. While she didn’t really understand why her parents abandoned her, or so she felt, she was still very much loved by her grandmother, who taught her to read, write, take care of animals, grow plants, and other practical skills.Her grandmother and her grandmother’s sister own an herb company that provides commercial and private magical and mundane potions ingredients as well as flowers of all kinds. Her grandmother runs the actual growing side of things while Pip’s great aunt runs the business side. Because of that, her grandmother has let her grow as she wished, which has let her meet so many different and wonderful beings in the forest. While they live in the forest of Snowdonia National Park, they are extremely close to the coast, which has allowed her to meet merfolk.
Pip was used to magic, especially because her family were all magical people. They even have a house elf and a few crups running around to help guard the herbs and the family. Pip's first memory of her own magic was being able to get into places she normally shouldn't be able to enter. Even though she was small, places like bunny warrens and smaller animal dens were open for her. She even got lost in a wall once in her house, since she had really wanted to see a family of mice. Her size and unconscious belief she could fit anywhere made it happen, especially with the help of her magic. It didn't help that she believed in people like the Littles, or the Borrowers, which made her idea of squeezing into small spaces even easier, at least in her mind.
She was unsure which house she would be sorted into when she got her letter, though her Gram was a Huff, so of course Pip wanted to be part of it. It was also why she was excited about her letter. If her Gram had done it, she really wanted to do it too. She figured she would find a lot of like minded people in the house, and at the very least, it was full of different plant and animal life, which was perfect.
