Personality Description:
Piper’s an interesting mix of old and new world. She adores Old Hollywood movies and old fashioned romance. On the other hand, she tends to be the one to make the first move in a relationship. She doesn’t do this often as she doesn’t come across intriguing men all that much. But when she sees a guy she likes, she isn’t afraid to take the risk.
She’s had to become more direct since people tend to not listen to her. This, sometimes, brashness finally earned her respect among her peers at the Council. She has to watch her step a little more in the University in case she loses her cover, and extra money. Most of the female staff don’t like her because of her looks and they see her as pushy and over confident. That’s often the way with most women she encounters.
Self image:
Piper sees herself as a strong woman. She knows she is because of everything she’s had to go through to get to where she is now. She is confident, but can have the wind knocked out of her sails easily enough when she’s made to feel a joke. She isn’t conceited, but does believe herself to be attractive. She’s been well aware of that since her mid teens due to all the leering. She went through different phases of being ashamed of her appearance and constantly covering up, to embracing herself.

Special Abilities/Talents:
In her youth she had something of a photographic memory, which has since been hindered by her accident. She still holds a vast knowledge of the supernatural and is able to remember great amounts of information. This is quite useful for when she needs to perform a ritual. She has a good grasp on magic and is well able for both the practical as well as the theory. She can’t perform many of the higher spells though. She’s studied many ancient and demon languages, as well as more common ones, and has a good understanding of them – fluent in some. She’s well respected in the Watchers’ Council which allows her to get away with a lot and ignore some of their stricter traditions.
Outside of the magic world, she is a qualified Professor of History and Folklore – thanks to the Council. She uses this as her cover to keep her ear to the ground in Sunnydale or wherever she’s stationed.

Style of Dress:
Given her curvy figure, Piper finds it necessary to cover up a lot of the time when she’s in the University or anytime she wants to taken seriously. She’s not ashamed of her body at all, but finds that she gets the wrong attention or people, mostly men, don’t really take on board what she says. There’s times, of course, when she can use her assets to get her way with the Council or get out of trouble with University authorities.
Piper mostly wears shirts, dresses, pencil skirts, sweaters, the odd suit and heels when working. In her off time she likes to be a little freer. She wears a lot of the same stuff but in different styles, as well as jeans, tees and some more casual wear.
