When she was only sixteen, Pippa fell in love with a boy. Madly, passionately, and deeply in love. She ran away with him, moved in with him, and at seventeen, got pregnant. He said everything would be okay, that he would stay with her no matter what her decision would be; he proposed to her. Pippa decided to keep the baby, young and stupid enough to believe in a happy ending. The boy had been out, shopping for Pippa at night, when he was caught in the middle of a robbery gone wrong. Shot and abandoned on the streets, he bleed to death right on the pavement. Pippa’s heart was broken, her entire world felt like it had come to an end. Seven months pregnant, she was completely alone. She couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep, she could barely move. The baby didn’t have a chance. At eighteen, she met Madame Darling who offered her a position. Pippa, alone and broke, jumped at the opportunity. In the brothel, Pippa was usually the one to handle the quick jobs; the clients who don’t want anything fancy, just get in and get out. She tended to keep things to herself, but she was always the first on the scene with comfort when is someone else is sad. Pippa depended on a steady stream of dust to get by. If anything, it kept her from thinking of what her life could have been if things had gone right.
Pippa was presented with choices as time passed; as war screamed around her, as blood ran down the streets. Dust stopped being her escape and her main support to make it through the day because if she took too much, she would become careless and die. It took so long, but she grappled with the desire to live in the terror surrounding her and held it close. It was slow-going, but she was among the latter batch of fairies who started learning how to defend themselves after Mary continuously offered the chance. She was the one stomaching death once more, forcing herself to stand until she was alone to heave the horrors onto the floor. After the power shift in Neverland, Pippa continues to work at the Fairy as a call girl, stocking more clients as one of the most experienced and long-lasting workers. Her voice is one of the first to comfort others, whether they be other Fairies or innocents lingering in the aftermath. Her use of dust has lessened considerably, but there are some days where she takes a line to stop the scattering of her thoughts and the pain of loss. But she’s shaping herself, keeping steady on her feet, and though she’s not at the best place in her life, she knows it to be better than where she was before. Her life, her plan B, is now shaped by Neverland and the people she met. And maybe that’s enough to save herself.
