Pippa Hawkins

Pippa Hawkins is a human citizen and nurse at Pembroke Hospital.

Background
Pippa is originally from Birmingham, England. She has at least one sister, Lucy; Lucy is widowed with a young son named Paul, as her husband Billy was killed in France. Pippa's childhood ambition was to become a nurse, and when she grew up she studied to become one. Pippa eventually went to London to work at Pembroke Hospital. She occasionally visited her family back in Birmingham.

While working at the hospital, Pippa met Milton Hooks and the two of them fell in love with each other. However, they were forced to keep their romance a secret, as relationships between hospital staff were forbidden.

Events of Vampyr
By October 1918, in the midst of the Spanish flu epidemic, Pippa has considered quitting Pembroke Hospital. Because of the high death rate in the hospital, Pippa feels that she is no longer useful as a nurse, and desires to make a real change. Nevertheless, she remains at Pembroke, partially for Milton's sake.

Pippa and Milton run a sort of insurance racket within the hospital together. Despite the hospital being overcrowded because of the epidemic, Pippa is able to reserve beds for patients, specifically for those who can pay. She was able to secure a bed for Mortimer Goswick in a private room after Beatrice Goswick paid her, with Beatrice noting that the fee was not cheap.
