Lorraine Mayton Hale- Mother

Sierra Hale- Older Sister
Height:
5’5”
Weight:
120 pounds
Appearance: (Suitable image will suffice)
Civilian Attire:
On a normal day, Piper will normally wear her SHIELD uniform. On the rare occasion she’s not, though, she usually wears comfortable jeans, nice tops and high heels, with some kind of military flair to them.
Personality:
Piper is a very effective SHIELD agent- loyal, highly observant, and intelligent. Although her job was interrogation for a good portion of her career, she was not sadistic about it and took no pleasure in it- only in that what she was doing was for the good of her country.
She’ll try and help people when she sees that something is wrong- she hates to see innocent people hurt, especially when it could have been prevented by somebody.
She also can’t stand it when people lie to her- with her powers and training, she knows immediately whenever they do. To her, it’s a waste of time because it’s only a matter of time before she finds out what she wants to know from whoever is lying to her. In addition, she rarely lies- a force of habit from when she actually couldn’t lie. She is an expert at neglecting to mention parts of the truth, or twisting her words around to misrepresent something, though.
Piper tries very hard to not let people get under her skin. Although inwardly, she may be seething and tempted to drop kick someone through a wall, she rarely lets her anger show. She also has become accustomed to people following her orders- when dealing with people outside of SHIELD or the military community, she can come off as rather forceful and demanding.

The Hero
Codename:
Polygraph (alternately, Deputy Director or Commander)
Hero Attire:
Piper almost always wears her SHIELD uniform. She doesn’t go on very many undercover missions anymore due to her promotion, but if she does she will wear whatever is required for the mission.
Powers:
Telepathy: Piper has a very specific kind of telepathy that enables her to instantly know if someone is lying to her or not. She is not affected by illusions (no matter the origin, whether telepathy, technology, magic, etc.), and she can instantly tell when someone is a shapeshifter- they are both technically lies, after all. This also grants her immunity to telepaths.
SHIELD Enhancements: Piper has received SHIELD enhancements and various booster serums- they have increased her stamina, reflexes, agility, and strength to peak human potential.
Skills:
Due to her work as an interrogator, Piper is an expert in getting information from people in various ways- questioning or seduction, to name some of the nicer ways. She understands body language, specifically when it indicates that people are lying.
She speaks several languages in addition to English- Russian, Spanish, Japanese, and Arabic. She also has excellent aim, with both a gun and throwing knives, and is a black belt in Krav Maga and highly skilled in other forms of martial arts. She usually fights with a kickboxing/kung-fu hybrid, though, adapted slightly to make use of her high levels of flexibility.
Piper also has an eidetic memory.
Special Equipment:
As a SHIELD agent, Piper was trained in the use of various weapons- knives and guns and so forth. She always has at least one knife tucked away somewhere on her body, usually more. She also always has her gun is always on her as well- she named it Vera.
Weaknesses:
Although Piper doesn’t like to admit it, she is a normal human with no healing factor- despite a high pain tolerance, she can get hurt, get sick, etcetera.
Her power also won’t work on someone whose memories have been tampered with by a telepath. Her powers will also not work on someone who is shielding their mind through some type of technology, but they will work if someone is shielding their minds through their own telepathy.
Most Heroic Achievements:
Her recent promotion to Deputy Director of SHIELD
History:
Piper Hale was the younger of two children born to Lorraine and Steven Hale. She and her older sister Sierra were both enrolled in martial arts classes as children- Steven said that his "little girls should always know how to defend themselves". Piper enjoyed these lessons very much, and quickly excelled.
Steven Hale was not what he appeared to be, though. While he claimed to his wife and daughters that he was in the military, he actuality was in SHIELD, as well. He was captured by terrorists during a highly-classified mission when Piper was fifteen and Sierra was seventeen, and killed.
The director of SHIELD- one Captain America- came to her house shortly afterwards to explain a highly redacted version of Steven's death to Lorraine. Piper and Sierra listened in shock while he went on to explain that there was a place crash and that Steven was dead. Lorraine and Sierra both dissolved into tears, while Piper stood up and demanded that he should "stop lying" to them and "to tell them the whole story", and that "she wasn't in shock or disbelief and making this up, she just knew that he was lying to them somehow."
She stormed off afterwards, leaving Lorraine apologetic to the director, with Steve himself slightly curious about this young girl who knew that he wasn't telling the truth...
Soon afterwards, Piper realized that she knew when people were lying to her. She didn't realize what caused it- nor did she particularly care. She did mind, however, the migraines that she seemed to get whenever she lied. She eventually realized what she was when Sierra confessed that she was a mutant, too.
Piper was recruited into SHIELD almost immediately after her high school graduation- a human Polygraph was useful, especially in cases that required interrogation of a suspect. And that was where Piper found her niche in SHIELD after she finished training. She didn’t always enjoy some aspects her job, but she knew that what she was doing was for the good of the United States and the world, and so she wouldn’t be ashamed of that. She proved herself a highly capable agent, even as she began working on field missions- all with a close to perfect success rate.
She was twenty-four when she received her first promotion into a leadership position. She had been on a field mission that went horribly wrong from the very beginning- the commanding officer was killed right away. Piper took charge, leading the mission to success and also ensuring that no more of her teammates were injured. When they got back, she was quickly promoted- she was assigned to take the lead on any mission she was on, and it would be almost guaranteed that the mission would be successful.
It wasn’t a surprise that the “higher-ups” of SHIELD were keeping their eye on her- Piper was a highly skilled agent, and excelled even more when there was a leadership position that she was in. And when the previous Deputy Director retired, they made an almost unanimous decision.
Piper had been catching up on some follow-up paperwork from her mission when there was a knock on the door of her rather small office. She almost fell out of her chair in shock when she saw who it was- Director Rogers himself, offering her the job of Deputy Director.
She wasn’t sure of what she should do- she knew that she was doing a great job where she was in SHIELD. But it ended up being that reason that she took the job. She thought she could actually do some good in the world as Deputy Director of SHIELD.
It has been a couple of months since her promotion, and she has quickly adapted to her new position. There were a few bumps during her transition, but those have mostly gone away, and Piper is looking forward to what the future holds for her.
