Name: Pippa Louise Scott.
Nicknames: Her mother commonly calls her Pip and when she was little her father would call her Peanut since she was always so small for her age.
Age/Birthday: She’s 16. Her birthday is May 23rd
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual – Pippa is completely open with love in any form. She does not judge others and simply wants to find that one person she can spend her life with.
School and Class: She’s a junior at Metric High
Health Issues: None
Reason for applying: Pippa has always had an interest in fashion design. Upon first glance it would appear as if fashion would be the last thing she would be into because her style is so strange but that’s exactly what she translates into her designs. The whimsical and weird are what inspires Pippa and her fashion sense. A lot of her designs look they could be pulled straight out of Alice in Wonderland (which happens to be one of her favorite books). Although her fashion sense is not everyone’s cup of tea, she has bold ideas she wishes to share with the world. Some of her creations can be seen here in Pippa's portfolio
Job: RA for the high school, making sure all the students keep themselves out of trouble. She is a little lenient with her job and is considered as one of the 'cool RAs'
Reputation: After being the new girl last year, it is rather refreshing to come into school already having friends. She has made a reputation for herself around school as a giant ball of sunshine who is rarely ever in a bad mood. Pippa will make friends with everyone no matter what their reputation is. When it comes to Pippa you pretty much hate her or love her, there is no in between. She is the kind of person to go out of her way to cheer someone up.
Friend(s):
Cliff Arkwright: Their relationship started off a little rocky, especially considering she had a huge crush on him without knowing he was actually her cousin. After that awkwardness passed, they actually became very close. She can tell anything to Cliff and is happy to have family she can rely on (because she has drifted from her parents). However, ever since Cliff started turning into a bad seed she's seen less and less of him, leaving her alone with Noah.
Noah Wilson: Through Cliff she met Noah who immediately tried to hit on her. She thinks he's silly and humors his advances but does not take him seriously.
Declan Mackenzie: When her and Declan first met, he tried to hit on her but she really was not interested. She does consider him a friend though and enjoys his company.
Judah Parker: With her cousin off being a bad seed, Pippa felt like she was missing someone. When her and Noah were paired with Judah for an assignment, the three actually clicked well. Of course, no one could replace Cliff, but she really enjoys Judah's company. They've gotten pretty close and Pippa's favorite thing is to obnoxiously sing 'Judas' by Lady Gaga to him but replace the words with 'Judah'.
Enemies/Rivals: Pippa certainly would not say she has any enemies though there are some people she dislikes. One of the few people she dislikes is her father. He left without warning which left her with a bad impression of him. Although she had not seen him in years some of that bitterness still remains though she would never admit it.
Although the last thing she wants is an enemy, it would be pretty cool to her if she had an archenemy like in some of the shows she watches. That would be interesting!
Relationship Status: Single – Though she is not entirely focused on getting into a relationship she would not mind a cute romantic fling with someone who would buy her flowers and binge watch Netflix with her
Height/Body Type: 5’1”. Pippa is almost sprite-like in appearance because she is so tiny. She was always the smallest girl in her class which never really bothered her because she was also always the loudest. Her build is average though by today’s supermodel size expectations she could quality as a little pudgy around the middle. Though she tries her best to eat healthy she does not have a formal exercise routine. Pippa has three circular scars (one on her back, one on her shoulder, and one on her forearm) which are cigar burns from her grandfather. She usually can just pass them off as birthmarks and that’s the story she sticks with.
Hair color: Dark brown like her father’s. She keeps it just a few inches longer than collarbone length and prefers to keep it at a medium length. Her mother would describe her hair as ‘mousy’ because it is just kind of there and Pippa never does much with it.
Eye color: Brown like her mother’s
Clothing style: Pippa has a very eclectic fashion sense when it comes to what she wears. Most of her closet had been found at thrift stores or she has made herself. A lot of the time nothing she wears actually matches, and she is a huge fan of busy prints and bright colors. No matter what the weather is like, she loves accessorizing with rain boots and it has become a sort of signature item for her. She really has no specific taste and can easily go from wearing a dress one day to a graphic t-shirt and sweats the next day.
Ethnicity: English – Being raised in England, Pippa has a English accent which can be either incredibly annoying or completely adorable. Since she is used to speaking with an accent she is always a bit taken aback when people point it out.

Hobbies: Pippa almost always has her sketchpad with her for coming up with new clothing designs. Coming up with new and captivating styles it one of her favorite things to do. Another hobby of hers is fanfiction. She loved reading it and writing it, the more horrible, the better. Tumblr is a site she constantly has pulled up on her computer, and she enjoys blogging online and following the latest news on her favorite TV shows.
Family:
Father – Eldin Arkwright – Professor at Metric College – When she was young, her father was always off traveling the world leaving her with little time to actually see him. As soon as he came home from his journeys she would always be at the door waiting to greet him. He may have not been around as much as most dads, but she still loved him regardless, that is until he up and disappeared when she was seven-years-old. Since then Pippa has had feelings of bitterness toward her father who she believes abandoned her and her mother. Last year she was reunited with her father and, although it is nice to have a father figure back in her life, she still harbors secret feelings of resentment toward him, especially after he knocked up her mother before even reappearing in her life.
Mother – Adrianna Scott – Teacher at Metric High School – Adrianna is both friend and mother to Pippa. She is extremely close with her mom and does whatever she can to help her out. When Eldin left, Adrianna only grew closer to her daughter and made sure Pippa did not feel unloved in any respect. They have an extremely strong bond and can talk about anything with one another. Pippa considers her mother one of her best friends and loves when they are able to spend the day together. The two have learned to rely on each other and lean against one another for support. However, after the events of last year, Pippa does not feel as close to her mother as she once did.
Brother - Merlin Arkwright - Pippa's baby brother. She still isn't exactly sure what to make of him. Although she adores baby's and doesn't want to blame him for their parent's mistakes, she can't help but think of how her parents lied to her when she looks at him.
Grandfather – James Scott – Retired – The relationship Pippa has with her grandfather is complicated. He never wanted to accept her because he hated her father, yet Pippa resembles her mother so much he finds it hard to completely reject her. The way he acts around her is very bi-polar. One minute he will be nice and but her ice cream and then next moment smack her for acting foolish. James was not afraid to raise a hand to his granddaughter and was often rather abusive, though he was always on his best behavior when Adrianna was around. Pippa loves her grandfather even though he frightens her, though she would be lying if she said she was not happy to move away from him.
Backstory: Pippa Scott was born in the midst of a family feud. Her parents could not have been happier to have a child of their own, but there was one person who absolutely hated the idea- her grandfather James Scott. Ever since he first met Eldin Arkwright he abhorred the man though no one quite understood why. Perhaps it was because he captured the heart of his baby girl or maybe it was just because James thought history was a useless major. No one really knew the truth. As soon as Pippa was born, Adrianna moved out of her father’s estate and into a small house she rented with Eldin. Pippa was a happy child, never causing much fuss for her parents or acting up.
As she grew up, she really did not see a lot of her father. Eldin was always traveling which meant he had little time to spend with Adrianna and his daughter. Even though the separation from her father made her sad at times, she knew he would always return home with gifts from wherever he traveled. On once such occasion he brought he back a stuffed rabbit and from that point forward she always carried it around with her, dragging it by the ears. Pippa made sure she spent as much time with her father as she could when he was home. She would follow at his heels and always demand she go out on his nature walks with him, even if the woods scared her a little. Her mother thought it was adorable how she seemed connected to her father though it always pained her to watch Pippa as she sat by the window and watched her father leave for another adventure.
Pippa’s mother was a huge part of her life. Since her father was often gone for extended periods of time, Adrianna stepped in and acted as both mother and father to her. She was firm with her demands but also kind and loving. There were often times where she would allow Pippa to crawl into bed with her in the middle of the night and take Eldin’s side of the bed. This bond between mother and daughter only continued to grow with time. Whenever she had a problem, she knew she could always go to her mother for help.
When she was seven-years-old Pippa sat waiting at the window for her father to return from his latest adventure. She eagerly awaited to see what presents he brought back for her this time. Suddenly the phone rang, and she could hear her mother’s distraught voice from the kitchen. A few minutes later Adrianna remerged with a sad smile on her face, although it was clear to the little girl her mother had been crying. Her mother sat down beside her and told her daddy was not coming back. Pippa refused to believe what her mother told her. He always came back no matter what! Maybe he just lost track of time while studying some ancient ruin. She continued to stare out the window and wait for her father while Adrianna tried to find somewhere else for them to stay since she would no longer be able to afford rent on her own.
She spent a week at the window waiting for her father before Pippa decided to take action. One afternoon she packed up a knapsack full of supplies and slipped out of the house while her mother packed their things. Pippa knew her father loved the woods, so that was where she decided to search first. She spent hours wandering around the forest calling for her father, but it was too large of an area for her to cover all by herself. In fact, once the sun started to go down, she had completely lost her way back home. Back at home, her mother began to panic and called family and friends before contacting the police. It took two hours and a search team of dogs befor the discovered Pippa curled up under a weeping willow tree with her knapsack filled with only candy and her stuffed rabbit.
After that fiasco, Adrianna was desperate to move to someplace where there weren’t many trees. Unfortunately her salary made it difficult to find a place of her own, so instead she moved back in with her father who welcomed her with open arms. As happy as he was to have his little girl back, he was not so happy Pippa was with her. Whenever James laid eyes on Pippa he was reminded of the mistake his daughter had made with creating offspring with that worthless Eldin fellow.
Pippa spent many afternoons in the company of her grandfather since he was retired and her mother had work. She could never tell what kind of mood her grandpa was in because there were times he would ignore her, times where he would be kind to her, and then there were times when he would beat her (those being the worst). Regardless, she loved James because he was the only male influence left in her life. Her mother remained blind to how her grandfather treated her because every time Adrianna was around her grandpa behaved nicely.
In school Pippa always did her best to make friends. She was a happy-go-lucky girl who only wished to make others happy. There were a few people who found her odd but most of the time she paid them no mind. She had a close group of friends who were neither popular nor unpopular, and it was just fine with them. Pippa knew how to act in a way which she could avoid being bullied while also maintaining an acquaintance with the popular kids. There was hardly a person in the school who thought ill of her. How could someone dislike a girl so bubbly? She was practically a little ray of sunshine.
The more Pippa grew, the harder her grandfather’s punishments became. Eventually her mother started to grow weary of the marks she began to see on her daughter. Whenever asked what happened Pippa would come up with some sort of lie because she did not want her mother to be mad at her grandfather. It wouldn’t be good if both of them hated their fathers. However, one day Adrianna walked in on James slapping his granddaughter across the face and that was the moment Adrianna put her foot down. She put together the pieces and immediately started to make calls to get Pippa and her far away from her father.
Adrianna found a job opportunity in Salem, California in America so they packed up the few things they had and took the long flight from England to the USA. They are still doing their best to adjust to their new surroundings and have a lot of moving in to do, but Pippa is excited about this new chapter in her life. She didn’t like saying goodbye to her old friends but this would be a chance to make new friends!
