Personal Life
Thomas Vine
Thomas is in the 11th grade and attends a normal high school unlike his older sister. He is smart like she is, but he just wanted to be around regular students. He didn't think Upper East Side was his type of environment. He knows it's important for his sister though. Thomas often brags about how smart she is to his friends and that she goes to such a prestigious high school. Due to both of them being adopted, Thomas and Piper have an extremely strong bond. He also feels like he owes his sister in some way because even though she got numerous families who wanted to adopt her, she refused unless they took him as well. Luckily for both of them, Amy came along and happily took both in.
Amy Valor
Amy has a regular office job and doesn't make a whole lot of money. Hence her, Thomas, and Piper live in a small apartment. They live quite a ways from the school Piper attends, so she feels bad that her adopted child has to travel so far just to go to school. Amy is a very nice and caring person, but there is a huge secret that she is keeping from Piper and Thomas that could change both of their lives for forever. Amy gets along well with the two siblings, but she can tell how strong the bond is between them so she does her best to not come between them. Her and Pipe's relationship can be a bit stressed at times, but they still get along. Her and Thomas might as well be best friends. She thinks he tries to overcompensate for his sister's, sometimes, coldness.
Home Life:
Despite what Piper wants people to believe, she has a very average life at home. She lives with a single mother and her younger brother. Due to the school she attends, and her looks people think she comes from a wealthy family but that couldn't be any further from the truth. It's true that Piper models, but she doesn't get to do as much as she likes because of school. That and whatever money she makes, she goes out to buy expensive clothes and other material possessions to make people believe she comes from a wealthy family. The only reason she is attending Upper East Side is because of her academics. It takes a toll on her to try and keep up with the wealthy students at her school, but Piper does her best.
Piper and her brother Thomas were adopted by Amy when Piper was ten and Thomas was seven. Before that the two siblings floated around from foster home to foster home. Piper nor her brother know anything about their biological parents. But since Piper likes to think big, she believes her and her brother come from an extremely wealthy family. She's not too far off. Amy did some research and found out that Piper is right about her biological parents. Amy was able to get in contact with Piper and Thomas's mother and got some background on how the two ended up in the foster care system.
Amy learned that both of Piper's parents came from old money. Piper and Thomas both came out of wedlock and both families determined that would tarnish the family image, so Piper and Thomas were both put up for adoption. Amy couldn't understand why Piper's mother was so calm about it. She thought that knowing the truth would only hurt Piper more, so she has been keeping this a secret for three years now.
Piper and Thomas are as thick as thieves. Literally. Both have a criminal record that was expunged when Pipe turned fourteen. It was just a bunch of small petty thefts they did when they were in foster care. Stolen candy or a shirt. Nothing too serious. Though this made the two siblings develop the habit keeping secrets between one another. For instance because of Amy's work hours, she doesn't know that Piper models. It's a well kept secret. Thomas has helped keep his sister' double life from Amy, though he doesn't agree with it, he will continue to keep as many secrets as Pipe wants him too.
Academic Career:
Piper scored in the gifted student range on the IQ test. Schools from around the country wanted her to attend, but her heart was set on Upper East High because of the social life of the students there. She could've went straight to college, but she wanted to go through high school like everyone else.
Pipe is on the swimming team, and has been since the beginning of high school. She isn't good at it, but it helps her keep in shape. Though numerous science and math clubs tried to get her to join, she thought it would hurt her image, so she will only drop in a couple of times and solve some problems with different science clubs.
Future Plans:
Piper wants to continue on with her modeling even after high school. She has no intentions in failing. But if something did happen then she plans on just using her intelligence as a fall back plan.
Personality:
As stated before Piper is insanely smart. Most people wouldn't know this, but the faculty at Upper East High know all too well the potential she has. Academics for her come all too easily. Due to her brightness, she has practically created a fail proof plan so no one finds out about her real life. She has successfully so far managed to put up an impenetrable barrier surrounding who she really is. She uses her looks as a façade to fool people into thinking she is an average wealthy high school student with nothing spectacular about her besides her looks. Piper calculates everything she does in her life. She rarely makes any choices that won't benefit her in some way. This makes her incredibly arrogant and selfish. She isn't exactly a people person, but because the students think she is rich, they tolerate her.
Pipe is one of the most materialistic people ever. Though she hides her expensive clothes from Amy, she tries to get the best and newest of everything. The one thing she can't cover for is the lack of a ridiculously expensive car. But, she covers by saying she jogs to school every morning. Though Pipe is smart, one of these days she is going to get caught in her own web of lies. It's not exactly a good quality, more bad then good, but Piper's pride is through the roof. It is a trait she developed in the foster care system while she was determined not to let her or her brother's spirit be broken. Her pride can get her into sticky situations with some of the other students. She isn't one to apologize for anything. Even if she knows that she is wrong, her pride won't let her show any, what she deems, weaknesses.
Piper has a lot of bad qualities, but she isn't so bad once you get to know her. The few real friends that she has, she gets along with them quite well. She is very loyal to people she thinks she can trust. She isn't one for gossip, so if there was anything you would want to keep secret Pipe is the person to tell. There are people she doesn't even know personally, but she knows about them. In a way it gives her leverage in making sure her own secret doesn't get out. But even she wouldn't stoop so low as to blackmailing though. Well technically she would, but only if it would be to her advantage.
