Piers is a young bear boy who appears among the animal families of the village in the anime Sylvanian Families: Mini Story Peony. He is the little brother of the Bear family and is also known by the fuller name Piers Petite. He is male and has brown fur. His most pronounced trait is his large appetite: he is often heard saying that he is hungry, and food is the central motivation behind much of what he does. Piers has an especially keen sense of smell, and if he catches the scent of food while he is playing with his friends, he cannot help following his nose toward it, even abandoning his games to do so. This instinctual love of food defines his personality more than any other quality. At home, his mother Margaret does not let him help prepare meals because he cannot keep his hands off the food, a habit that shows both his endless hunger and his playful lack of restraint. Within the story, Piers is part of the gentle everyday life of the village, joining the other children in their activities, though his appetite regularly pulls him away from play and toward whatever food he happens to discover. His relationship with his mother is shaped by her patient handling of his constant hunger, while with friends he is a cheerful playmate whose nose often leads him on small food-seeking detours. His most notable ability is that extraordinarily sharp sense of smell, which works almost like a built-in detector for food and makes him a lively, hungry presence in the village's quiet daily episodes.
