Profile
Intro
「I will keep going on until my last day even if that day may be tomorrow」
Piper is an aloof and generally unapproachable person, due much in part to her guarded personality. Conversations with Piper consist primarily of dry, sarcastic comments and purposely vague answers. This isn't because she doesn't like others; she simply doesn't trust them, and uses her harsh demeanor as a defense mechanism so she is left alone.
Piper is not often seen without her warmhearted girlfriend Skye. The two are a yin-yang in terms of their personalities, making them an interesting pair. Despite this, its easy to see that they love one another dearly and would do anything to protect each other.
Appearance
Voice HC: "Keep your hands to yourself, otherwise I'll slaughter you." (JP)
Piper's most immediate notable features include her missing appendages; both of Piper's prosthetic legs begin midthigh, while her arm cuts off above the elbow. The bandage wrapped around Piper's right eye hides the empty socket underneath.
Piper's prosthetics are not removable; they are attached directly to her leg bones. These prosthetics are made of lightweight material, particularly the biocompatible metal titanium. Additionally, Piper's prosthetics are robotic, with needle electrodes have been implanted in the muscle and attached to the prosthetic to allow it to work.
Piper's somewhat messy hair is a vibrant ginger, with her bangs deliberately covering her eyepatch. She is thin and rather petite overall, standing at 5'1".
Piper's wardrobe is simplistic, with her most complex item of clothing being her oversized jacket. Due to their constricting nature on her prosthetics, Piper is not fond of jeans and much prefers denim shorts.

Magic and Abilities
Shield Generation
Not every magician uses a grimoire or spell scroll to cast their magic. Some magic users require a sort of totem as their source of power; in Piper's case, magic energy may be drawn from items of significance. The item in question varies between individuals, however they are not capable of choosing their totems. Magic energy is transferred by the magician's emotions. Piper uses her promise ring as a means of casting, due to her sentimentality towards it.
Additionally, Piper must use her hands to cast. If she is bound, or otherwise cannot move, she cannot generate her shields.
Piper has a variety of shields she is capable of generating. Solid shields are resilient, but may only cover a single direction. Bubble shields provide cover from all directions, except the ground; they are somewhat brittle however. Reflective shields are small, but are capable of bouncing projectiles back.
Reflective shields, while useful, cannot be used fequently or Piper runs the risk of exhausting her magic energy. Upon each projectile fired back, a small amount of magical energy is absorbed by the shield, which essentially weakens it. These shields are Piper's most handy, although these setbacks makes them somewhat difficult to use.
Bullet Projectiles
Piper's single ability is her shield generation, but there is no limit to just how small a shield may be. Additionally, Piper is capable of projecting her shields forward.
After much practice, Piper has mastered using her shields both defensively and offensively. These projectiles are somewhat weak and are essentially concentrated bullets of magic energy; they are not powerful, but they provide temporary distraction, or may be used as a means to scare off a potential threat.
