Background
The Pipers, back in the day, where a rich family. They made their money by discovering treasure that a person would read about in history books. They took their adventures to great lengths, and some even died trying. That was how young Paul Piper became orphaned at 16. His parents went scooping around to find a treasure, and there was a mud slide, trapping them in a cave killing them instantly. But, they where buried with the treasure, so at least they died doing what they loved.
Paul felt that the treasure hunting business was ridiculous, so he decided to do something more practical, like ghost hunting. He became rather famous, and is known for solving mysteries all over London. He also opened his own museum of haunted artifacts that people can go and visit every single day.
Mary-Ellen Stroder worked as a diner girl most of her life, barley making ends meet to pay her bills, and raise her daughter from her first marriage, Penelope. The Stroder family lived on a farm, and were very caring and giving people. What money they didn't use on food for their own family, they gave to churches, and homless shelters and people in need. They worked for what they earned, and where very proud of the fact. They raised one daughter whom grew up to be as kind hearted as they came, Mary-Ellen. It was unfortunate when she became pregnant by a man who was in a band and planned "on making it" so he left right after, and didn't even know that Mary-Ellen was pregnant with Penelope.
Mary-Ellen and Paul met at a bar where Mary-Ellen was bartending. The attraction was of course physical on both ends, and later, the two grew to love each other and eventually married. Paul adopted Penelope as his own, and treats her like he treats his other five blood daughters even though she's not magical, and lives a normal life like Mary-Ellen.
Paul was an orphaned boy at the young age of 16. He inherited his parents large fortune when he turned 17. His grandparents raised him after that. His father had taught him to save every penny he owned. Paul was wise and listened to both his father, and grandfather and was very rich by the time he was 21. At that age, he spotted a muggle woman at a bar. He learned her name to be Mary-Ellen Stroder. She was a simple girl, having to have worked for everything she had. But when Paul promised her the world, she fell madly in love with him. Later, they married and had 5 daughters. The youngest of them being Gwendolynn Bethanne.
Gwendolynn was the problem child. Having almost died when she was young with open heart surgery, meant that Gwen had the world at her fingertips. This made her sisters very jealous, and Gwen knew it. Gwen could break all the rules, and easily blame somebody else for doing it, and never get caught. She's very intelligent with covering her own trails, and learns from other's mistakes. Mary-Ellen had no problem with their daughters being special. She liked the fact that through out the year some of them would go off to learn how to control their special magic, but she always resented them that they were more like their father than she was. Gwendolynn most of all, because she has his personality.
