Piper

Piper is a rather lonely woman who feels isolated in Diamond City. She has a strong drive to better the world and does not want to be complacent, causing her to become a writer and journalist in order to try to reduce the corruption within the town. As such, Piper has a rapport with Nick Valentine, both serving as investigators in their own capacities. Her tendency to find the latest scoop and the truth can cause others to find her nosy and annoying, however, resulting in her having few friends. She tends to enjoy sarcasm. Despite multiple death threats and at least one assassination attempt, finding herself in sticky situations is a point of pride for Piper, who feels getting into trouble is just part of chasing the truth. Adding to her reckless nature, she may also be seen smoking occasionally. She is shown to not be above lying and manipulating others in order to get what she wants, such as when she tried to use the Sole Survivor to regain access to Diamond City after being banned from the town, though she generally dislikes it when the Sole Survivor lies.
