Flashbacks
She actually is a previous inmate at Litchfield Penitentiary before being delivered to optimum protection following the Riot in Litchfield Penitentiary that took place in Season Five, from where she got released early. She actually is the “prison spouse” of Alex Vause since they aren’t legitimately hitched. This woman is portrayed by Taylor Schilling. In the 1st periods she actually is portrayed whilst the entitled and protagonist that is somewhat self-absorbed whom usually annoys her fellow inmates and several viewers; with time her character gets to be more of a villain and also by period 4 this woman is the best choice of a white supremacist gang and a self-proclaimed “gangsta by having an a”. This woman is unpopular with experts and fans regarding the show, and contains been described by experts being a narrative that is”dreaded” to be able to inform more interesting tales in regards to the other inmates.
Personality Edit
During the show’ begin, Piper is apparently a notably innocent girl whom strives become on her most useful behavior rather than enter difficulty with some of the inmates while doing her time quietly.
Nevertheless, through the show, she is cruel, spoiled, sanctimonious and will be manipulative to get what she wants, as seen in her interactions with Brook Soso when the latter first arrives in prison as she spends more time in prison, a darker side of Piper is revealed. It’s revealed that Piper has constantly possessed a selfish part to her, which will be shown when she abandons her then ex-girlfriend Alex Vause once the latter had simply been shared with her mother had died (“Tall Men with emotions”), moments after their breakup. Both bad and good edges of Piper are shown over and over over repeatedly for the series, showcasing the tolls jail usually takes using one’s character.
Despite her flaws that are personal she’s frequently prepared to mirror upon her negative actions and focus on character flaws stated by her peers along with attempting her hardest to enhance jail conditions when it comes to health of her other inmates and by by by herself. Alex, whom perhaps understands Piper the most effective, points out numerous times (especially during period Five) that Piper can not manage perhaps perhaps perhaps perhaps not being in charge of a predicament, making her presumably a “control freak”. An excellent exemplory case of this really is shown whenever Piper joins Taystee, Ebony Cindy, Watson, and Alison Abdullah throughout the prison riot to simply help with the negotiations, and relating to Alex, regain some control of her present situation. Nevertheless, we are shown later on that Piper regrets and berates by herself for centering on the riot rather than spending some time with Alex.
In Season Six, Piper is extremely ready and protective to complete almost anything to keep Alex away from difficulty.
It really is shown that in Season Seven, this woman is vengeful. After discovering Alex and Artesian’s event, she straight away goes and shacks up with Zelda
Larry defines her as craving adventure and excitement. Saying she does not love Alex, she really really really loves just just what Alex represents. Piper rejects this and states Larry does not anymore know her.
Appearance Edit
Piper has blue eyes and blond locks that reaches just a little under her shoulder, although she kept her hair waist-length and mane-like during her early-mid twenties. She actually is 5’8 and contains a build that is slim with three tattoos on her behalf human anatomy and a prominent brand name on the remaining supply (even though it is shown on her behalf right supply in period Six). Her very first tattoo is of the seafood regarding the nape of her throat, which she got done inside her mid-twenties to represent secret, beauty and beauty that is appreciating. She first got it done from the straight straight back of her throat since the tattoo is not on her, it is for others – and much more specifically, Alex (“Tattoo You”). Her 2nd tattoo, courtesy of Stella Carlin, is on the remaining supply and it is printed in white ink, saying “Trust No Bitch”. Her final tattoo is of a infinity to remain her side that is left she provided by by herself (resulting in disease). In “It Sounded Nicer in My Head”, she actually is branded on the supply because of the Spanish Harlem having a Nazi icon, that is later on fixed in “Friends in Low Places” by Red to check such as for instance a window.
Since Piper is of taller height and quite slim, with blue eyes and hair that is blonde typical of this perfect feminine label – her nickname in Litchfield quickly becomes “Blondie”.
She even offers other nicknames as a result of her appearance, such as “Taylor Swift, ” “Lindsay Lohan, ” “Dandelion, ” “Blonde Katy Perry”, “College” and “JonBenet”.
She frequently wears a t-shirt that is white thermal under her jumpsuit, and she notes that the prison-issue canvas slip-on appearance like stylish Toms (“I becamen’t prepared”). Piper passes through three split kinds jumpsuits; the orange jumpsuit given to brand brand brand new inmates at first of Season 1 when she first finds Litchfield, in Season 2 during her time invested at Metropolitan Detention Center and soon after, whenever she returns to Litchfield, the tan jumpsuit of Litchfield inmates from Season 1 to Season 5 last but not least, the navy jumpsuit for the C-Block during her amount of time in Maximum safety in Season 6. The few exceptions are during flashbacks as soon as she gets furlough; where she wears some other articles of clothes and contains an expert, preppy design, while the sleep bug infestation; where she wears exactly the same blue nursing assistant uniform that everybody else does.
In “Who Knows a lot better than I”, Piper’s left front tooth is dxlive chipped after Badison trips her when Piper tells her she would like to head to health in hopes of finding Alex. The enamel is later returned to her in “Mischief Mischief” by CO Copeland as a swap on her behalf instigating a battle with Ruiz, and Alex later glues it straight back on with super glue.
