Piper Wright

Piper Wright is a possible companion of the Sole Survivor living in Diamond City in 2287. She is described as "a woman wearing a red leather coat and an old-fashioned newsboy hat". She runs her own newspaper called "Publick Occurrences", and has a younger sister.

Background
Piper was the journalist of Diamond City until the mayor kicked her out for writing a negative article about him. Piper, as well as being a journalist, is also a traveler, who has a keen eye when using pistols.

A long time ago, Piper and her sister Nat lived outside of the Commonwealth with her father in a small community protected by local militias. One day her dad was killed by raiders according to the captain of the militia. Piper didn't believe him and discovered that the captain had sold out the community. He agreed to leave the gate open and unguarded one night in order to allow the raiders to loot as long as he got a cut. Her father was killed by the captain for threatening to expose this treachery.

The local authorities didn't believe Piper when she tried to expose the captain, and so she printed and posted several wanted posters featuring the captain and a list of his recent crimes. The captain was exiled and the raiders were caught off-guard and driven off by the prepared settlers.

Eventually after the incident, Piper and her sister travelled to Diamond City to settle down and begin her career as a journalist. She takes pride in getting in trouble and being in "hairy situations". She was poisoned by a cartel of caravan traders colluding to increase prices where she had to drink enough moonshine to vomit and pretended to have a vision of Atom when the Children of Atom were going to sacrifice her to their god.

If Piper becomes the Sole Survivor's companion, she will often offer aid in the form of food (Commonly gumdrops, sweetrolls, bubblegum and Nuka Cola) when the Sole Survivor chooses to talk with Piper.

Piper is also one of the only three female companions that can have a romantic relationship with the Sole Survivor.
