Appearance;; If asked how she felt she looked on any given day, Piper’s reflex response would be a simple yet vague “Fine I guess.” She has never really been the type to obsess over the way she looks, mainly because she feels it would be energy wasted. She considers herself below average looking, and for the most part has accepted that fact. Standing at a rather modest 5’5, nothing about her commands the attention of the room, at least she wouldn’t think so. Her frame is a relatively petite one, lacking the voluptuous curves all of the self proclaimed ‘Hotties’ of the school seem to possess. She considers herself plain looking, almost even ugly. To be honest, its completely lost to her why she gets attention from the guys she does. Half the time she simply figures its because they know how up tight she can be, and are more than likely attracted to the fact that she’s not interested. Either way, she’s just happy she managed to snag a guy like Scott, who seems to be interested in the inside rather than the outside.

Her facial features would more than likely be considered youthful. It’s probably what she hates the most about her face, how utterly baby-like it seems. If you ask her, she hasn’t yet lost that bit of baby fat in the face, and it shows. While her skin is thankfully clear and usually lacks blemishes, her over all complexion is an extremely light one, to the point of it being annoying, at least it is to her. She can tan all she wants, but usually it will result in a horrible burn, then later a series of annoying little freckles. Piper’s undoubtedly most favorite part of her body would with out a doubt be her eyes. Her rich, icy blue orbs are without out a doubt the most expressive, the most lively things you will ever experience. When she’s happy, they light up like light bulbs, and when she’s mad… well lets just say they will rip you apart. Full and rather voluptuous lips accent her already rather delicate features, always seeming to a have a rather rosy tint, whether she puts make up on them or not.

As far as clothing goes, Piper has been compared to that of Catholic nun, though it was just Jared being a jerk. In actuality, however, she does tend to dress on the modest side. Piper doesn’t think she’s got it, so why would she even dream of flaunting it? She tends to stick to the practical, yet at the same time stylish clothing. We’re talking blouses, jeans, sandals, sweaters, that sort of thing. While she knows she doesn’t have a completely hideous body, she doesn’t think its anything that people want to see hanging out of skirt, so she keeps everything well hidden and made up.

Personality;; If you don’t know her personally, and just see her walking down the hall, your first impression of Piper Pratt is that she is the human definition of perfect, and that’s pretty much the way she was brought up to act. She was raised in a very.. interesting home. Teachers and parents alike knew her as that sweet, intelligent girl who will go far once she left high school. Her friends know her as the responsible one, the one to go to if you need help, and the one who will always attempt to do the right thing. It’s rather odd actually, seeing a girl go through life with utmost poise, utmost grace, without seeming to ever falter in the general public.

Now, just because the girl comes off as perfect, does not by any means mean that she is. She is a people pleaser, clear and simple. She works to make other people happy before herself, and on many occasions she tends to loose track of who exactly she is in the process. The constant pressure to live up to not only her family’s, but also her own expectations is a bigger burden than some might care to realize. The girl is nowhere near as “prefect” as she lets on, and to some extent that scares her a lot. She’s constantly going through life feeling like she’s some sort of fraud, which only causes her to work harder at being what other people expect her to be. The tragic thing about it all, is that all of the pressure is strictly mental. No one aside from maybe her siblings and boyfriend expects the angel that she produces, but for some reason she feels she’ll be letting people down if she fails.

One thing nobody can hold a candle to is this girl’s passion. When this girl has something on her mind, she has never been afraid to express it. While everyone else seems to think her dedication and concentration on perfection are her better features, Piper happens to revel in her mind, and her own personal opinions. If she is against something, she has no problem arguing her point all the way home. It comes to a surprise to many just how utterly intense she can get when she’s trying to get points across. Some may take this as her being PMSy, or moody, but the truth is she’s simply passionate; she takes pride her belief’s and ideas, and has been known to be a bit stubborn when it comes to changing them. Since her family and peers have spent their time getting caught up in her being a complete and total success, its no surprise that the girl has a bit of a perfectionist complex. For her, everything needs to go according to some plan, and if it doesn’t, she tends to freak out. She’s the type of girl who takes failure personally, and while she rarely blames other people for things going wrong, she tends to beat herself up; we’re talking hyperventilation, anxiety, the works. While it doesn’t happen all the time, if something big enough occurs, she’s the type to take it to a whole new level.

Despite her attempts to put other people’s needs and expectations over her own, Piper is a genuinely happy person, and somehow people tend to gravitate toward that. Her disposition is an optimistic one. She sees the good in things, despite how bad they can get, at least she tries to. It’s also what makes her an extreme idealist. She believes in romance, and the greater good. It’s one of the many reasons she’s still been able to hold fast to her V-Card. She believes that love is something that doesn’t sway very easily, and should last an extremely long time, if not for life. She’s the type who has a limited amount of boyfriends, in fact, she's only had one real relationship, and its the one she's still currently in to this day.

Her morals aren’t the only thing that have kept this girls legs closed. One of her more embarrassing quirks is Piper’s intense phobia of getting pregnant. Social and personal stigma aside, this girl is terrified of the thought of another human being growing, living inside of her uterus for 9 months at a time, and don’t even get her started on the pains of giving birth. To her, it all just seems way too painful to endure, and has told herself and anyone who asks that there are far too many orphans stuck in orphanages and foster homes who need caring for, and it would be irresponsible for her and who ever she marries to created even more children when they could just as easily adopt. While she makes it sound like it’s a service to the public, her desire to adopt is in actuality stemmed from her fear of pregnancy.

Lastly, the thing that worries this girl is her innate inability to cook and clean. For someone who has been referred to as a dream wife, she is certainly a klutz when it comes to kitchen work. Honestly, Piper has tried to cook, she really has. She’s busted out cook books, she watches Rachel Ray on Television all the time, but for some reason she just can’t transfer what she sees on television and books to real life. If you want to see this girl spaz out, just stick her in a kitchen and ask her to make you lasagna, it’s like throwing a cat in water. As far as cleaning goes, Piper is a bit less than par as well, though that has more to do with her lack of interest and time than anything else. While she is arguably one of the most organized people you will ever meet when it comes to her personal belongings and school work, if you ask her to vacuum the house or wash the dishes, you might as well just do it yourself. She’s not a maid, and she simply doesn’t have the drive to cook and clean all day. Its simply not her.
Perfectionist. Passionate. Intelligent. Temperamental.

History;; Miss Pratt’s story started out as relatively simple one at least. On a rather sunny afternoon in April, Piper’s mother popped out a squealing, pink bundle of joy in St. Peter’s Memorial hospital. She was slapped on the bottom, wrapped in a pink blanket, and given the name Piper Lynn. As far as Piper knew, that and a little sister were the only things her mother gave her. About a year after she was born, and about two days after her little sister was born, Piper’s mother left them. It was the last the girl heard of her mother. Her father’s absence was a different story. Though Piper was only 3 when he died, what she does remember of him were brief, yet at the same time very vivid memories. She remembers the scruff on his face when ever he’d go down to kiss her, she remembers his electric blue eyes, and most of all she remembered the way he held her. The day she found out her father would not be coming back from his “trip,” she remembered crying for days. What type of little girl lost both her mommy and her daddy within a year?

Its these memories and these memories alone that makes the entire prospect of being raised by an irresponsible oaf like Cody all the more frustrating. What any of the girls in the Pratt family did to deserve a father figure, and she does use that term loosely, like him is beyond Piper. While yes, she’s respectful, and yes she helps out around the house when she can, she simply can’t stand living in a house with that man. It hadn’t taken the girl long to notice his sexual habits, he certainly didn’t concern himself too much with keeping them hidden from his children. She sees his life style as utterly disgusting and immature for someone his age, and believe you me, she has made that known on occasion. While she is usually the type of girl who keeps to herself when around adults, she can only be pushed so far before she explodes. Let’s just say she’s gotten in a fair amount of arguments with her guardian, and simply can’t wait to get her and her younger sister out.

Luckily for Piper, she didn’t let the trouble at home affect her life too much. In school, she was what any teacher would call a prize student. She worked hard at everything, mostly in attempts to get out of her current living situation. In class, she was a respectful and rather lively girl, easy to make friends and volunteer when needed. It was no surprise that when it came time to start her high school career, she ended up skipping a grade based on her maturity and undeniable intelligence. School for her was pretty much a cake walk, well when it came to the actual work anyway. Unfortunately, her trained poised nature and chastity earned her a rather impossible reputation to live up to. People began seeing her as the girl who could do no wrong, the girl who would undoubtedly go far once she left school to set out on her own, the girl who was as close to perfection as a human being could get.

Contrary to popular belief, Piper did not like the label given to her by her peers and teachers. She felt as if it was a prison, something she couldn’t dream of living up to in the long run. It was why, to many people’s surprise, she formed such a close bond with the resident ass hole, Jared Frost. Jared and Piper knew one another since before Piper could even remember. He was the one person she knew she could be herself around, the one person she could simply let go all attempts at being the epitome of perfect. One of her very first memorable experiences she had with him was the night she learned her father died. He was there for her as she cried, letting her know that he would be there for her no matter what. It was a side of Jared she knew most people had never seen, and more than likely would never see. Since then, she has looked at Jared as the one constant in her life that would always be there, one of the very few sources of unconditional love she had. Granted, they two of them have been friends since literally day one, so obviously there differences have caught up with them. Just like Jared is more than likely the one person she trusts and depends on the most, he’s also the one person who can push her buttons the easiest. Honestly, that boy’s affinity for trouble and anything having to do with it has gotten on Piper’s nerves on pretty much a daily basis. The two of them get in fights constantly, and though they tend to make up right afterwards, it doesn’t make the ride any less bumpy. He’s rude, selfish, she’s convinced he’s got some sort of personality disorder, and he’s got a ton of potential stored away that he simply too comfortable throwing away. He’s probably one of the few people her age that Piper considers smarter than her, and yet he’s not doing anything with it. Still, Piper is convinced she would not be whole without Jared in her life, and she wouldn’t give him up for anything.

So if Jared is so important to her, why in the hell isn’t she dating him? Well, aside from the fact that she’s never even really thought of the prospect of the two of them together (it’s just not expected) she has another man in her life, Scott Jackson. Scott is by far, one of the sweetest, loving people she’s ever met. She sees the way he treats his family, and Piper can’t help but want that in her future. The two of them met shortly after Piper was bumped up a grade, and saw one another in class. While she personally hadn’t really noticed his attraction to her (the girl is utterly blind when it comes to people crushing on her), she was definitely pleasantly surprised when he asked her out. The two of them have been dating ever since, and the sailing couldn’t be more smooth. He’s got an amazing heart, he’s attractive, and he’s got a future. Scott has expressed his goal to provide for Piper as soon as they graduate and get settled. If there was ever a way for her to get out of the Pratt house and away from Cody, Scott is the answer, plus she is convinced they’d live a happy life as well.

As far as the war goes, Piper is completely and utterly against it. She blames the war for everything wrong in her life. Its why her father died, it was why Cody is such a ass, its why Scott and Jared put their lives in jeopardy, and its definitely the cause of many sleepless nights. After graduating, she has every intension of going to college and majoring in something along the lines of poly sci. She’s the type of girl who wants to make a difference, and what better way than to get an education. The day the war will more than likely be the happiest day of her life.

QUOTE

As far as Julia was concerned, laundry was pretty much second nature to her. At home, ever since she was old enough to reach the top of the washing machine, she knew how to do a simple load. She remembered as a little girl, she'd follow her mother around the house during her chores, pretending that she was the woman of the house. While her mom would haul the giant basket of clothes from every member of their family, Jules would have her little egg basket with a sock or two that her mother had dropped, trailing right behind her mommy. When her mother cooked dinner, you get bet little Julia was by her side, jumping at the chance to crack an egg, or stir the cake batter. She was Mommy's little helper since day one. So the weekly routine of hauling her own things down to the Washer was like clock work for her.

Tonight, however, had been a little different than most laundry days. She had spent the previous night at work late, and had to get up early for school. So, instead of getting her clothes together right after class like she usually did, she decided to rest her eyes for a moment or so. Well, a moment or so turned into 4 hours, and when she woke up, it was night time. So, in a hurry, she put her dirty laundry in the basket, and plopped her detergent and box of fabric softener on top. She hauled the load down to the Washer

After spending 3 years at Amingsdale, she had never done laundry so late, so as she walked toward the Washer, it was odd to see it so empty. Not noticing anyone at first, she pushed the door open with her back, accidentally knocking over the garbage can that had been propping it open. Managing to catch it with her foot, she awkwardly shifted the basket to her left hip, while she reached to pull the can back up with her right hand, setting it to the side. Pretty god reflex's for a girl who couldn't even shoot a basket ball properly.

As she walked in, her hair tied up in a messy bun, wearing nothing but a blue tank top and pink rubber ducky pajama pants (she was doing laundry for a reason people), she glanced around the room for the open machines. It was then that she noticed that she wasn't alone. Nathaniel Richards was her companion for the evening... and as luck would have it, the only free machines were by him. So offering a friendly smile, she walked over to a table and set her basket down, casually glancing over at the boy. "Red sock," she pointed out rather vaguely. "With your whites." She had half a mind to just let it happen and watch him walk around with pink shirts and socks for the rest of the week. No, she wasn't that mean.

TEMPORARILY ACCEPTED.

AKA. It's good, but Peter just needs to look over the history and make sure there's no bugs. He came up with all the canons, so he knows 'em better than anyone else. You can post and whatnot, but make sure to come back here and see what he has to say!

((He'll be gone camping for a week, but don't sweat it!))

The only thing I suggest is adding a few more things she likes and doesn't like. Everything else looks good. Did you happen to check out Peter's note in the other Piper application? Might just want to check your application against his notes there. That's all though. Delilah's got a sister to be jealous of now!

Piper IS curvy.
And she thinks she's hideous.

She loves Jared and Scott...
If you could mention her best friend and friends and that in other involved characters, that'd be great.

She's a goof too- it normally totally embarrasses herself by it.
Dropping her books, etc. See Ronnie and Tohna, a bit. xD

BUT.

ACCEPTED.
