Pj is both the eldest of her siblings, as well as the eldest of the female cousin’s along side Melinda who was born at the exact same time as her and is in magical terms her astral twin. Because of the fact thatshes the same age as Melinda and Paige’s twins are all only a couple of months younger than her, she never lacked friends even before starting school. In school she had a lot of friends when she was younger, however when her powers began to start developing more she started secluding away from her human friends for fear of losing control; it got to the point where when she was in 7th grade Phoebe and Coop transferred her to magic school where she could make friends without her powers being a factor.
When she was a senior in Magic school she ended up doing her final paper in her ‘magical beings’ class on the Original Vampires, learning a lot about them and the things they had done and wondered why the Elders had never made them a priority for her family. Unknown to her, the reason was her Father and his connection to the Mikaelson family. After Coop started having dreams about his life as a Mikaelson and asked Paige to make sketches of them Pj was at her house where she saw the project she was working on for her father. Paige tried to push off the questions due to Coop asking her to promise not to tell anyone until he found out more, but when Pj explained who these people that she was drawing were though? She told her niece the truth.
She asked her Aunt not to let her Dad know she’d been told and promised to drop it and simply ask the Cupid Elders to push him to stop looking into them, instead though she cast a spell that would tell her if her Father got to close to any of the members of the Original Vampire Family.
Payton is very much the most cupid out of her siblings, not only did she inherit many cupid abilities but she’s always been more of a ‘matchmaker’. Like her mother and sister she went to school for psychology, her main focus of study in school was relationships and after graduating with a bachelors she got to work starting her own matchmaking service. Her mother offered when she was first starting out to give her a feature on her show, however, Payton thanked her mother and declined. She didn’t want anyone saying her success or failure was because of anyone but her.
Though she focuses mostly on helping people find love, she also recognizes that that isn’t what everyone needs; because of this her services also include ‘friendship matches’ where she will connect people in the capacity of friendship--though once or twice this has turned into a relationship. She wound up becoming so successful that when Phoebe’s producers found out that her daughter was the Payton of “Payton’s Pairings” they practically forced her to ask her to agree to an interview.
