Peregrine Pendergast

Peregrine Pendergast is a character of Thirlcrest Academy; she was a former [MR] in the Greasers. She is portrayed by BispectacledDisater
==Appearance==
" That's a girl?... "Peri casts a very slim, beanpole-like silhouette, often wearing glasses or some form of prescription eyewear. The styles of her hair are often very short to short length, topped with a freckled face. Most can describe Peri as slim, starved, and thin in form. Because of her tomboy-ish nature, Peri is often mistaken for a male on many, many occasions by staff and student alike.
==Characteristics==
Peri comes from intellectual and empathetical thought processes, finding herself attuned to thinking things through and trying to see herself in others. Despite this, Peregrine is still a very, very impressionable kid, often seen mimicking or taking elements from her fellow student and friends into her own psyche to better adept to situations at hand. What does not help further is her impulsiveness in high-stress situations, opting to charge right in if a pugilistic scenario cannot be immediately avoided, a terrible combination with her featherweight frame.
Despite suffering from many social anxieties and awkwardness, Peri could still be seen often socializing with anyone who'd listen to her, be it acquaintances, friends, fellow clique members, strangers, or sometimes even perceived enemies.
As witnessed in the presence of higher, hostile authorities like Prefects and Faculty, Peri is known to become increasingly anxious and panicked, resorting to learned, drilled behaviors and mannerisms when addressing or being addressed by aforementioned Faculty. This could also be applied to older, intimidating senior students.
==Character Background==
Not much is known to the students on Campus exactly who Peri is and where she came from, most of her background is most often locked behind barriers that can be seldom-noticed to the untrained mind. Most of Peri's background may be hinted at in passing dialogue, or her odd mannerisms, or directly confronted should Peri allow it.
So far, what has been seen is that Peri was born in the state of Texas in August of 1993, and whether by difficulty or incompatibility, has found herself flunking and dropping out of every school she has tried to attend across several states. As far as anyone knowns, Thirlcrest Academy is her last hope as with many other students.
=== Thirlcrest Academy ===
Peri's first few days in Thirlcrest would soon be seen as the worst few days of her life. Her introduction to Thirlcrest Academy were several scraps and fights that saw her on the receiving end of a beatdown every time, at one point even being stuck in the infirmary after a particularly harsh beatdown that left her in a neckbrace.
The days would get worse, as her next series of beatdowns would see her glasses lost to a Bruiser who's face and name she could never remember.
GreaseOn one fateful evening at the lowest she's ever felt in her entire life, Peri happened upon a gang of Autoshop Members strolling down the Cafe. Despite hear near and far-sightedness combined with blunt head trauma, she could still make out the glowing, bright reflection of the sun off their leathers and their sunglasses. Before Peri knew it, she was offered to come trail with them for the remainder of the day. One of the worst days of her life would soon turn into one of the very few highlights as her small silhouette would melt into the leather-clad figures she was strolling around with.
Peri soon donned the Autoshop Club vest, trailing on for more daily shenanigans with a number of Greasers, most notably Henry Mancini, who'd she soon grow an attachment for. As the day wrapped up and Peri proved she could keep up, she'd find herself donning leather herself for her indeterminant future at Thirlcrest Academy.
==Relationships==
===Henry Mancini | Very Close===
Peri's initiation into Autoshop Club was closely overseen by the 2IC Henry Mancini, who of which she quickly imprinted on in this drastic transitional phase. In her earlier days as a Greaser, Peri would often be found glued to Henry's side, even now she still finds herself hovering to his presence.
Despite this, Peri's run-in with Alcahol would see a dip in this relationship, causing a small rift between the two, the primary cause being Henry's disappointment, and Peri's shame.
This rift would eventually be mended in a final, one on one dialogue that saw both of them exchange their thoughts and emotions, finding mutual understanding and respect after the matter, solidifying their Big Brother/Little Sister dynamic.
===Hawkin Grohl Noehmy Jr. | Feared/Respected===
Peri's first significant encounter with the Peacekeeper Quartermaster was from witnessing a terrible one on one between him and Paulie Pepperoni, Peri having trailed along in Paulie's staunch support despite the latter's grievances. In an impulsive decision egged on by Hawkin himself, Peri agreed to a terribly outmatched duel at the Treehouse, attempting to fight Hawkin on behalf of Paulie'. This, logically, ended in what Peri could only describe as a near-death experience, as despite the lucky hits Peri landed she was no match for the skill and brutal efficiency of the seasoned Quartermaster.
A trip to the infirmary and a surprise Autoshop revenge beating would see the two marginally settle their differences through a calm, organized meet that saw Peri clarify her motivations on this matter, putting the PK/Autoshop tensions at ease.
A few weeks later the two would meet again, where Peri, despite her deeply-rooted fears of the man, would follow Hawkin back to the Treehouse once again for a short, but grueling training session, ending in another bloody 'spar' that ends on better terms.
===Paulie Pepperoni | Close/Trusted===
Despite Paulie's abrasive nature and often impulsive anger spikes, Peri has always defended the man's actions for the sake of making sure he wasn't alone, whether right or wrong. Having tried to see the best in him she stuck to his side even when he was clearly in the wrong, though always tried to find ways to mediate these interpersonal conflicts with little success.
Despite some shortcomings Peri has found herself with Paulie's trust nonetheless, swearing to stick up for each other.
=== Daisy-Mae Adler | Trusted /??? ===
Despite radical differences in backgrounds, Peri had ended up forming an odd bond with the pageant girl, first meeting her at the Autoshop, then finding herself preferring the then-Hangaround's company as time went. The two had acquainted each other as close friends soon then-after, sharing occasional back and forths. Despite the casual nature, Peri's true feelings on the matter remain a mystery even to herself, but she found them slowly come to realization as events come to pass.
One such event being the gifting of an elaborate rat-cage set up for Daisy-Mae's pet rat 'Tanner II'.
