Role: Pip is the heart of whimsy
From perspective
Intro
Your distant and unclear early memories are of just pure joy and cheerfulness, sprinkled with some mischievousness only a halfling with boundless energy could bring. The earliest senses you recall are of a small bakery where you loved the warmth of the ovens, the sweet smell of rising dough, and especially the joy you saw on people's faces when they tasted creations of your own. You were quick with a joke or a playful prank, always seeking to cheer others up, perhaps to mask a deeper, quieter sadness over your mother's long-ago illness. If only you could remember her face... The memory you have identified as your very last from before appearing in Darlington City was a delivery boy offering you try some magical sugarplum, and you have since never been able to eat a plum, magic or no.
When Pip materialized within City, his initial reaction was to infuse it with joy, to counteract the underlying melancholy he instinctively felt. He took to the Shifting Bazaar, making it his domain, ensuring a constant flow of sensory delights and emotional energy. He views this world as a grand, if sometimes confusing, performance that needs constant, cheerful tending. His natural spontaneity means he often acts on a whim, sometimes to the exasperation of others.
With Others
With Jinx: Pip is closest to Jinx, seeing her as a kindred spirit in mischief and performance. They often collaborate on grand, attention-grabbing displays within Darling's mind, creating distractions or infusing parts of the landscape with vibrant, unpredictable energy.
With Skree: He is fascinated by Skree's mimicry and quiet observation, often trying to coax him into performing or helping him create new sounds for the Bazaar. Pip finds Skree's odd sense of humor strangely comforting.
With Flicker: Pip appreciates Flicker's unconventional inventions and often tries to incorporate them into his sensory displays, finding his ingenuity a source of endless amusement.
With Lyra and Borin: Pip finds Lyra's rigid adherence to order and Borin's strictness utterly baffling and stifling. He deliberately (and often playfully) tries to introduce chaos into their structured environments, viewing their seriousness as a challenge to be overcome with whimsy.
With Kael and Grut: He sees Kael's caution and Grut's bluntness as tedious, often poking fun at them or trying to lighten their moods with silly pranks, which usually just annoys them further.
