Who is Piper Ratliff in The White Lotus Season 3? Character explored

Sarah Catharine Hook’s character, Piper Ratliff, is the black sheep of her family. She is the middle child of Parker Posey’s Victoria Ratliff and Jason Isaac’s Timothy Ratliff.

Just like the many characters introduced in The White Lotus franchise, the Ratliffs cannot be called a normal family with Isaac’s Timothy embroiled in an International money laundering scheme, Posey’s Victoria struggling with her substance abuse, and then the odd sexual tension between the three siblings.

Hook’s Piper seems to be the only emotionally healthy person in the Ratliff family who wants different things from life than her family. Piper came to Thailand by lying to her parents that she wanted to interview a monk for her thesis in Buddhism as she is majoring in religious studies in College.

However, in the later episodes, Piper lies to her parents. She has come to Thailand to live here for a year and discover her true self. Hook described her character as “a spiritual seeker who's quietly confident” in an Instyle interview.

Her true purpose in coming to Thailand is to discover her true self while living in Thailand and practicing Buddhism for a year.

Piper wants to get away from her odd family for a while. In an interview with ScreenRant, Sarah Catherine Hook agreed that this might be one of the reasons why Piper wanted to stay in Thailand. She said:

"I think that was the intention. I think she's looking for peace, and she's like, I've been with this kooky family long enough."

As only four more episodes remain of The White Lotus Season 3, we might find out in the upcoming episodes if Piper gets to stay in Thailand or not.
