0 · 407 views · located in USA, IL, Chicago

a character in “A Kind of Demotic”, originally authored by kokiri_kat, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Image
Name:
Peony Anne Quinn

Nickname(s): Nee Nee (only her little sister calls her that)

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Orientation:
Just another thing she has to rediscover.

Ethnicity:
American/Irish

Appearance:
From Peony’s outward appearance, it would seem that she doesn’t much care what she looks like. She wears little makeup, ill-fitting clothes, and has a mane of choppy, flat brown hair. The most significant feature on her otherwise pretty face is the ever-present scowl that reaches even to her ash grey eyes. When she does smile, it looks rather forced, and usually doesn’t last long.

As her first official, “screw you” to her father, she got a cherry blossom tattoo all the way down her back.

Personality:
She was daddy’s little girl, but it came with a price impossible to pay: perfection. Who she was, what she wanted, her past and her future had never been decided by her but for her. Funny thing was, she never minded. Whatever her father wanted for her was what she wanted for herself.

That’s what she told herself.

And it was true; up until the day she found out that none of it mattered. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t be the girl her father wanted. And even that didn’t matter. He would never choose his own daughter over her anyway. She was fighting a loosing battle for her father’s affections. And now, she was finally done.

The day she left was the day she began to rediscover herself. Who she really was and what she really wanted. And she is finding that she is a very different person than the girl her father tried to make her.

As a consequence of her early life, her main characteristic is bitterness. Peony is no longer the most cheery or happy of people. She use to be. He took that away from her. Now she’s angry, sad, and cynical. Her speech is nearly always tinged with sarcasm or disdain, and her demeanor is overall gruff. It baffles her, how much she’s changed. She use to be such a sweet little thing.

Peony likes making friends, but she has trust issues, and tends to push the people she loves most away. She fears rejection, and will often preemptively reject others before than have the chance to do the same to her.

Because Peony is trying to rediscover herself, she will more than likely try anything once, just to see if she likes it. But she is a smart girl. She won’t do anything too dangerous.

Family:

Mother:
Fiona Mary Moore(died when Peony was 2)

Father; Stepmother:
David Wallace Quinn
Claire Lydia Quinn

Step-siblings:
Brittany Elizabeth Charles(15)
Joshua Henry Charles(11)

Half sister:
Penelope Maria Quinn(6)

Residence:
Her father rents her a loft above an older couple's home. It was the least he could do, he said, and against her better judgment, she let him. Where else did she have to go?

Significant object:
A small Pin-Up poster, folded and kept in her wallet.

Story behind object:
I’ve never screamed at you before; never so much as raised my voice. So what’s happening now? Why can’t I stop yelling? Why can’t I stop crying?

I had you on a pedestal, but it came crashing down.

I was so happy that you invited me into your “inner sanctum.” You never let anyone in here. But, even through my joy, I can’t help but think this garage is oddly stuffy as the vague sense of dread in my heart increases. I lean my flimsy body on your prized BMW. I know where this is going.

You picked her over me.

She didn’t want me around anymore. Why? I don’t know. I never did anything to her. You’ve known her eight years. You’ve known me a lifetime. But you still chose her over me.

Why are you giving me this? A picture of a half-naked girl? Is this supposed to mean “I love you?” Or “I’m sorry?”

This is when I start to scream.

I had you on a pedestal, but it came crashing down.

Fears\Phobias:
A fear of rejection and intimacy.

Dislikes:

-heat
-tight clothes
-people who pry
-preppy girls

Hobbies:
Peony has discovered that she likes to sketch. She mostly sketches with charcoal, and she mostly sketches women with sad eyes.

Talents:
Her sketches. She also has a way with animals. Even the scariest, most rabid dogs in the street seem to take to her.

Romantic interest:
None yet.

Theme song(s):
Gravedigger by Dave Matthews(Acoustic);Nude by Radiohead

Other:
Peony carries an old picture of her mother next to the image of the Pin-Up girl.

Assuming she doesn't get into any real trouble, her father agreed to bring her little sister, Penelope, to her loft from time to time. Peony is not allowed to come to their house under any circumstances.

So begins...
