Victory and defeat are completely out of your own control!"
—Luciana Auxesis Theodoro de Montefio

"Each word is a gem, each post— so refined!
This guy is a master of all things car!"

We're behind schedule! Today's the day that we need to share the new archive with the Proxies!
A petrolhead and a driver who often leaves her passengers feeling scared, that can only be Pi—
Piper: "Buckled up? Then let's go!"
"Ya need a lift? Then buckle up, buddy."

"If you get carsick, look out the window at the view, and you'll feel better."
"Next, it's time for lil ol' me to clock in and get to work."
"Buckle~ Up~!"
Is her personality like a middle-aged man cause she drives a truck?
Or does she drive a truck because her personality is like a middle-aged man?
Piper seems to be really lucky... Maybe it'll rub off if we hang out with her more.
Someone who says that people have to look forward must have some reason they're unwilling to look back.
Despite her full name being known, Piper Wheel's name is displayed as just "Piper" in the Partner Archive.
While Piper is mostly seen driving trucks, she is also able to ride a motorcycle.
Stories
2Agent Profile: Piper
Piper is a truck driver for the Sons of Calydon. Apart from driving, she's also responsible for vehicle maintenance and other related jobs.
Her tiny stature, cute voice (though she always seems half-asleep when not driving), and adorably harmless appearance (though she's a shut-in who can't be bothered to take care of her own appearance) make it hard to imagine that she would have such a crazy driving style.
Usually, by the time she drawls out, "Hold~ on~ tight~," the truck is already barreling down the road.
Rumor has it, Piper is a driver who doesn't need brakes. Though riding with her is a terrifying experience, she will always get you where you need to go safely, and in the shortest time possible. Of course, "safely" doesn't include any trauma that may be induced.
Piper has many hobbies that don't seem to match her age, such as reading newspapers, buying lottery tickets, and collecting car magazines.
Piper's biggest wish is to live each day slowly and leisurely.
Note: Please keep in mind, Master, that this is also my wish.

Piper has a love for the sound of truck engines starting up, so she recorded the sound of Steeltusk starting up. She has to listen to the recording to fully wake up in the morning.
If Piper falls asleep during a meeting, playing a recording of a truck engine can quickly get her wide awake again (this intel was provided by Lucy).
Cooperation Notes:
Belle
Sometimes Piper says "lil ol' me" instead of "I"... Is she trying to be funny...? Or maybe she's shy!
Wise
I think it's probably just a catchphrase.
By the way, that last part... Is Fairy trying to complain about us...?
