You just nailed my biggest issue with Pippa. She IS Ro's girlfriend and not much else. Part of this is simply what she was created for and then fleshed out as I've gone along. (Meaning: You are SO Right) And part of it is intentional on Pippa's part--if that makes any sense.
She is content (or was preIck) to blend in and not be noticed. She doesn't like to discuss her past which is how a lot of people tend to get to know each other (shared experiences and exchange of information and so on). Without going into tl;dr territory (because typing like this is a pain) this is where people like Paul come into play. He's safe. (funny that anyone sees Paul as the one they can turn to for warm fuzzies in a sense). He doesn't live near her or know the people she knows and therefore, she can open up and be honest with him in a way she isn't with everyone in NYC.
Oh, look...still wordy. Basically, yes...Pippa has issues. I am trying to find ways to correct them through character growth. Nice that I pick a serial killer to address this stuff, huh?
Would love to hear your thoughts on how that gets handled and if I miss the mark or over-correct.
