Personality
Pia is a pathologically shy girl who, as Wind Pier, wore a mask to hide her face out of anxiety, and carried around a canister of oxygen for whenever she suffered from panic attacks. Her anxiety and panic attacks seem to carry over in the Madoka universe; in her magical girl form, she wears a mask on her head, reflecting the mask that Wind Pier wears.
"Wind Pier is a young wind demon. In her first appearance she’s extremely intimidating, wearing a gas mask and carrying a large canister of what everyone assumes is poisonous gas on her back. However, it’s soon revealed that a) she only wears the gas mask because she’s so pathologically shy that she can’t bear the thought of anybody seeing her face, and b) that’s not a canister of poisonous gas that she’s carrying around, but rather an oxygen tank that she needs to use every time she has a panic attack. Still, despite everything, she somehow manages to gain entrance into the Executioner Academy, an elite school for demons who want to become executioners, demons whose job is to assassinate “sinners.” Wind Pier does manage to pass her exams and earn the rank of executioner, but her final graduation requirement is to kill 666 sinners, a task which, the last time we heard from her, wasn’t going so well. Don’t feel too sorry for her, though: she’s racist against fairies. Also of note: Wind Pier is her current name, but also the name of her sword, because executioners change their names to match the names of their weapons."

Story
""I wish I could make friends," said the green-haired girl as she opened the door. When she stepped through the doorway, the noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Perhaps it was just the sound of the wind blowing through an open window, but something felt pleasing to their ears. "Pia Undo", the homeroom teacher wrote her name on the board. Then, after school, the modest welcome party. Being able to make small talk with other girls while eating cake. As ordinary as such a thing may be, it still filled her heart with satisfaction to finally have the ordinary days that she had so yearned for."
"On that day, the door that the girl who had wished for friends opened was not merely the classroom door. When the worlds connected, five young girls were caught up in the results. Having finally remembered where she truly belonged, she made her contract: to destroy this false world, and to return her friends to their true world. Her wish became a great roaring wind that carried the newly-born magical girl Pia Undo as she turned to face the Night of Destruction."

Cards
Some of the other magical girl's card descriptions contains information on Pia. The relevant ones are copy-pasted here, from this tumblr post, with some edits (translations are rough and may not be 100% accurate).
Madoka
"Health Committee member Madoka Kaname showed the green-haired transfer student to the nurse’s office. “What a cute name!” Unused to hearing such words and belatedly realizing their meaning, the transfer student blushed deep red all the way up to her ears. “After school, let’s have a welcome party with delicious cake and tea!” Bashfully keeping her eyes downcast, the transfer student merely nodded in response to Madoka’s proposal."
"On her way home, the green-haired transfer student stumbled into a witch’s barrier. Together with her senpai, magical girl Madoka Kaname rushed in to save her. “Looks like you found out my secret. Please don’t tell the rest of the class!” Madoka’s trusting smile. The true form of the two girls. Deep within the transfer student’s heart, an indescribable anxiety bloomed."
Sayaka
"The fragrance of tea wafting from her cup. The cake carefully chosen to match the scent of the tea. Supreme bliss. “I oughta thank you, transfer student!” Sayaka Miki’s welcoming words caused the tense transfer student to relax. For a short while, the girl talk blossomed. But when the black-haired girl asked about the transfer student’s previous school, she looked troubled and hung her head in shame."
Mami
"Mami Tomoe poured tea into the six neatly lined-up cups, then brought out the six slices of cake. Having cheerfully agreed to her junior’s proposed idea, Mami’s home had become the location of a lively welcoming party. The joyful time passed all too quickly, and soon evening turned into night. As she saw the other girls off, Mami sensed that in the direction that the transfer student was heading, a witch’s barrier had suddenly appeared."
Kyoko
"Accompanied by the red-haired girl, the green-haired transfer student visited an arcade for the first time in her life. Her rhythmic steps matching the electronic music, Kyoko Sakura danced skillfully. In a good mood after having pulverized that day’s high score, she turned her smiling face to glance over her shoulder. “Wanna eat?” She offered some snacks, and despite lowering her head bashfully, the transfer student held out her hand to accept."
Ultimate Madoka
"Gravely injured by the menacing witch, it appeared as though at any moment the magical girls would be swallowed by darkness. “I want to save my friends!” Madoka’s wish, a stronger wish than that of any other, became an arrow to destroy the results of the gate’s connection of the two worlds, fired toward the darkness-shrouded night sky. Thus the long night ended, and with the breaking dawn came the time for farewells. The green-haired girl hung her head to conceal her tears as Madoka gently embraced her."
Kyubey
"Two worlds that should never have crossed. Because of the gate, their fates became intertwined. And the manifestation of this phenomenon became the girl who kept her demon self hidden within her heart. On the Night of Destruction, the girl from the parallel universe asked, “Can I really become strong enough to help my friends?” With a smiling face, Kyubey answered. “Of course you can!”"
Trivia
- "Undo" is written with the kanji for "cloud" and "earth"/"soil".
- "Undo Pia" is the Japanese romaji spelling of "Wind Pier", though with the "ィ" (i) character removed.
- The clothing of her magical girl form is basically the same as Wind Pier's clothing.
- It also looks a lot like Sayaka's magical girl outfit; Pia and Sayaka even have similar weapons. The art of Pia's magical girl form has her only half-wearing her jacket, leaving her shoulders and upper arms bare, making the similarity even more obvious.
- Her soul gem is in shape of a demon's head, reflecting how Pia is a demon.
- Due to the fact that she can't stand the fact of people looking at her face and has panic attacks, this implies that she has some form of social anxiety.
- It can be noted that her demon self is not present in her appearance as normal/magical Pia, but it is mentioned in Kyubey's card.
