Pilot is from a small suburban town in Monoy (where the colorless people live). Her father, Pontius, was a pilot in his heyday, and her mother is a housewife. Her sister is known for being the taller and prettier daughter. Pilot shared her father’s love for planes and later developed the nickname. (She doesn‘t like her real name.) It isn’t until she turns 18 that she decides to leave Monoy all together and start a new exciting life in a colorful town she’d heard of called Threhan. She brings along her two pets, Panna the panda, and Piqui the penguin and eventually establishes her own business and her own home downtown.

So Pilot arrived in Threhan, an eerie place for one little Monoyer surrounded by so many bright and loud colors. She made her way to a small building, a rather pitiful excuse for a welcome center (even for a welcome center). You would think that such a large city would put more effort into tourism. The strangest part of all was that the center was single-handedly run by a creepy old man named Barber, accompanied by his equally creepy and sinister-looking pet penguin, Bartleby. He was delighted to have the extra help, that is, someone to do the work while he did what he does best, supervise. By working at the center, Pilot was able to learn the layout of the city quickly and easily. Even better, she was able to utilize the penguin-like airplane and the panda-headed hot air balloon that was bestowed upon her by her aged and now senile father. She would do aerial tours of the city, for a decent price of course. With this business expansion, Barber could sit back and make more money while Pilot did what she does best, pilot. The business/center is set up on the opposite side of her panda-headed house and is but a short walk through her backyard.

Because Pilot doesn’t do a lot of “real work” she has plenty of free time and can usually be found elsewhere, mainly Elmo’s Diner where her older friend Gena works as a bartender/waitress. Pilot does not care for colored beverages and will order her usual free glass of water. She’ll also hit the clubs at night.

After a while of living in Threhan, Pilot notices that many of its residents had found their matches aka soul mates. Feeling a little left out and a little lonely, Pilot decides she has reached the point in her life where she should seek hers out. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know where to start looking, but she has a feeling that Threhan is the right place. There are very few, if any, colorless people living in Threhan, but this is not an issue. Although there is no rule or proven truth to it, many believe that their soul mate is one of their own kind. This is why people tend to think that Pilot’s match is probably Pong, the Cowboy from Monoy.

Soon after her search begins Pilot witnesses a bank robbery. She hides in a small notch so not to get hurt. One of the robbers, the male one, finds her after being told by the female to “leave no witnesses”. He stares at her briefly before sparing her. After this, Pilot develops her first crush, believing that he must be her match. Not too long afterwards she spots a traffic cop with a familiar nose. Upon closer inspection she realizes who he is and playfully obsesses over him. Although he originally thinks she is a nuisance, in time he grows to like both her and the act of being obsessed over, but he refuses to admit it.

This isn’t to say that Pilot isn’t interested in or fixated on other people. She seems to have plenty of options, whether it’s the less believable Panto the homeless mime, the young Chef Dyle who's works with Leon, John John the paperboy, Östen the college nerd, her creepy old boss, or the more believable Pong the other paperboy, Mistar the robber turned cop, Ziggy the tree hugger, Bo from the Polar Patrol, or even old Darcee Owl who does nothing but sit in a diner booth and mumble complaints to himself, et cetera, et cetera.

Pilot has a habit of helping others help themselves. She is usually open and direct about how she feels about something. She knows what she wants, and she’s gonna get it…even if she hasn’t quite figured out how.
