Character from Super Powereds by Drew Hayes
The matriarch of a Las Vegas crime family who raised Nick Campbell to be the most dangerous kind of weapon — the kind that smiles, deals cards, and always wins.
Ms. Pips is Nick's aunt and the woman who raised him after his parents died. She runs a casino and crime family in Las Vegas, and she raised Nick the way you raise an heir: with calculation, strategy, and a deep understanding of how power works when it doesn't come from superpowers. She's not a Super. She doesn't need to be. She understands leverage, information, and the kind of loyalty that money can't buy and fear can't sustain. Nick inherited her strategic mind and her ruthlessness, though he'd never admit the latter. Her relationship with Nick is complicated — she loves him, she groomed him, and those two things exist in tension the series never fully resolves.
Casino royalty — elegant, composed, and dressed with the understated wealth of someone who owns the house. She's older, sharp-eyed, and carries herself with the authority of a woman who built an empire in a city that eats empires for breakfast.
