Perriwinkle [No Middle Name] Finch

|{Nickname}|
Perri

Bisexual

|{Role}|
Stretcher

|{Charm}|
Perri is rather fond of her charm, as she finds it both useful and charming (no pun intended), and the fact that it seems to be equally fond of her only further helps the young woman when she is out on missions. Her charm takes the form of an antique hand mirror with its name - Ravenna - neatly engraved along the handle. The mirror is small enough to be stowed away in one of the many pockets Perri commonly sports, but big enough to be used as an emergency weapon, should the situation call for it (albeit a pathetic one). Perri claimed ownership of Ravenna at the age of fourteen, when she'd stolen it from a neighborhood garage sale, though she remained unaware of what it truly was until she'd joined the Stretchers. She treats Ravenna quite well and over the years, they have formed an excellent bond. As a result, Ravenna is capable of locking eras for days on end, so long as the area of locksmenship is kept fairly small. While the mirror is unable to provide Perri with proper period clothing, it can, however, show what is deemed physically acceptable when Perri looks into the mirror. It's last (and Perri's favorite) skill is the ability to reflect the average market pricing of objects in the era with converted British pounds. The only issues Perri has run into with Ravenna is perhaps the fact that she cannot control the precise timing of the time-travel very well, often glitching and sending Perri back anywhere from a few hours off to years at a time.

|{Mentality}|
Perri doesn't consider the Stretchers to be her family or anything, though she enjoys their company nonetheless, as well as the benefits of business. She has been with the group for nearly six years, now, and is a favorite veteran among newer members of the group, due to her pleasant, if not slightly odd disposition, and the fact that she regularly befriends them and works extremely well with people in general. She is cordial and easy-going to nearly everybody, lest they have given her a reason not to be, but that is about as far as her affection stretches. Perri is a nomad of trade, and rather selfish when it comes to her own comfort and well-being. She would leave the group the instant a better deal is offered to her, and refuses to be held down by loyalties. Besides, Perri disapproves of her current leader's decision to kill Artemis, and while she isn't jumping in her seat demanding change at the moment (she fears for her safety too much for such a bold display of dissent), her strong influence over so many younger members has the young woman watching her tongue. Perri finds the growing tension between the Watchers and Breakers slightly worrisome, but at the same time, it isn't really of importance to her. She believes the Watchers, like most ideas, are prettier in theory. They put up a good fight, but at the end of day, the law cannot catch everyone. She is living proof, after all. At the same time, she avoids Breakers at all costs, and feels a mix of fear and disdain towards them, as she's had some pretty bad experiences with the assassin group, to put it lightly.

|{Hobbies}|
Wandering : Perri is the sort to take her time when on her missions, seeing as her charm is powerful enough to lock down nearly any era the young woman sets foot in. She likes to learn about the culture, admire the arts and architecture of the time period, and generally just enjoy her stay - there really is no rush, after all. Therefore, Perri takes it upon herself to wander around and do a bit of sight-seeing as an starry-eyed tourist would.

Shopping : No matter where she is, past or present, shopping has always pleased the young woman. Admittedly, she only pays for about half the things she leaves the store with, but it's a nice feeling, even after all these years, to be able to walk into a mall or bakery with a purse full of money, knowing she can buy nearly anything she wants. Besides, Perri considering shopping to be simply a less-uptight museum, and museums are always a favorite.

Volunteer Work : When Perri isn't out on missions or taking jobs, she likes to spend the majority of her free time volunteering, whether it's welcoming new Stretcher members and offering to show them around or at animal shelters, orphanages, and the like. Such acts are not done out of the kind of her heart, however - rather, it is simply another way to be around people and avoid having to walk the streets alone.

|{Personality}|
Odd & Extroverted || Paranoid & Selfish || Fickle & Materialistic
Even at first glance, it's easy to tell that Perri is the sort of person who went about the exhausting business of growing up unpruned and unstraightened, left to do whatever she wished and wander wherever she pleased. It is a sort of aura she carries with her, one can say, buried far beneath skin-deep ink and dyed hair. While pleasant to nearly all she meets, Perri has always outed herself as a rather unconventional and odd individual - she sits in odd positions, has a sense of humor that either colors itself too dark or makes no sense whatsoever, dresses strangely, and will often speak in philosophical riddles meant for nobody's ears but her own. Overall, Perri is a fairly quirky girl with a serene, if not slightly absent-minded disposition and many eccentric beliefs and qualities. At the same time, she is a nonconformist and lacks self-consciousness, unafraid and unaffected by what other observers may say about her peculiarities. And even when she does receive criticism from others, Perri has never grown bitter or retaliated with anger - instead, she chooses to simply brush it off and remain accepting and nonjudgmental of those around her. Besides, seeing as she has been with the Stretchers for nearly six years, now, Perri has managed to befriend the vast majority of the members and thus, typically only receives ridicule from outside her business network. After all, despite her bizarre behavior, Perri is still a fairly pleasant conversationalist who can hold somebody's interest for hours, twirling from topic to topic. Call it whatever name you wish - a social butterfly, a speaker, whatever, but there is no mistaking Perri is an extrovert. She is there for every social gathering, every party, every Fourth of July fireworks show and Christmas parade. Perri is very fond of people and large crowds in general, whether it stems from the subconscious need to be noticed and remembered or serves as a defense mechanism against the underlying fear of death.

See, the way Perri reasons it, is that the more time she spends with people and large crowds, the more of a chance she might stand against getting killed. Everybody knows a murder with witnesses (especially multiple ones) lead to unwanted complications, and thus, Perri makes sure to always surround herself with people as often as possible. It's a poor method of defense, obviously, but it does bring the young woman a certain amount of comfort. The traumatic kidnapping and organ removal operation she suffered as child seems to have left its mark on Perri, and now, there rarely goes a day where she isn't looking over her shoulder on the walk back home alone or staring the ceiling in bed, wondering if she'd just imagined the creak on her stairs. It's a hard way to live, certainly, trying to both garner attention and escape it at the same time, but it's worked for twelve years, so she supposes it's worth it. At this point, Perri would do anything to keep herself out of harm's way. Or at least, most anything; she steers clear of surviving on shady means - harming innocent people, especially children, is about where she draws the line. But aside from that, Perri really can stoop quite low in order to evade death. She is far from a saint, and more often than not, will place her well-being well in front of anything else, seeing as her family members, though alive, are no longer an intimate nor immediate concern. Maybe it is cruel, but there is no shame in the way Perri will always be the first one out of a burning building, or how she won't hesitate for even a second to leave behind a dying comrade, so long as they urge her to. Being a Stretcher and being unable to kill means constantly having to be on guard and watching one's back, and over the course of six years, her current lifestyle has dictated that there is very little room to spare for things like selflessness and kindness. She is in no way sadistic or heartless, willing hurting others for the sheer fun of it, of course, but were she to ever have to choose between her saving somebody else or preserving her own life, it would take a truly inordinate amount of love felt towards that somebody for Perri to pick the former.

Therefore, it only makes sense that Perri refuses to swear loyalty towards anything or anybody. Promises and oaths, in her opinion, possess little to no difference when held up against chains. Luckily, the only thing Stretchers are truly forced to swear on is the refusal to kill anyone, something that Perri has been adhering to long before she joined the time-thieves, and therefore remains unaffected by.

|{Happiest Memory}|
When Perri attempts to sift through her mind for a "happiest memory," nothing quite occurs to her. Perri is not a woman of the past, and avoids thinking about what has already happened, not the sort to sink into nostalgia often. In a sense, she believes her happiest moments are always of the present, and sees very little point in preserving things that have long disappeared. In many ways, her works often reflects her ethnics: she admires many things, but never allows herself to keep them, instead opting to sell them off in exchange for something far more practical, such as money. Regardless, if she had to choose, she would perhaps mention something along the lines of the museum trips she used to take with her mother and father on weekends.

|{Saddest Memory}|
It seems humans always recall their darkest moments with more ease and clarity than their happiest - after all, what do kisses leave on the flesh? Pain, on the other hand, have left prominent scars on Perri, both inside and out. She remembers waking up to the sound of rain and soaking wet in a dark alleyway, bleary eyes trying to make monsters out of the dark, an apocalyptic pain dragging its nails down the insides of her chest, and she remembers feeling so, so helpless. Helpless not that she was dying, but that she had survived. It is a memory Perri has permanently locked out of her mind, though they often come back to haunt her in nightmares and triggered flashbacks.

|{Miscellaneous}
Perri does not like her current name, despite the fact that it was self-chosen. She had still been unwilling to move on when she'd changed it, opting to use her middle name and Mum's maiden name instead of a completely new one. Therefore, the young woman always makes sure to introduce herself as Perri.
