2. Canon Character Information
Name: Margaret "Peggy" Carter
PB: Hayley Atwell
Journal: onthedot
Age: 30
Appearance: Poised. She's never seen without her make-up and hair perfectly done. She favors stark contrasts in simple tones. Red lipstick. Blue suits or military dress. Peggy isn't tiny unless you stand her next to someone the size of Captain America and she holds herself tall even at her most defeated. She has medium length wavy brown hair, a curvy frame and if you met her on the street you wouldn't assume that she could bust your kneecaps without blinking. That is until she looks at you. She has a very direct gaze, whether in anger or empathy and you always know when she is speaking to you.

She's also terribly British despite working and living in America for a number of years.
History: here
Powers/Talents: She is a director of S.H.I.E.L.D. She has strong combat skills, would self-identify as a sharp shooter, and has an incredibly strong stomach when it comes to gore or the unusual.
Personality: Peggy presents herself as capable, collected, and very confident in what she does and what she knows. She has a tough, often exasperated demeanor, that makes men and women often skirt around her. Despite all that nonsense, she's quite definitely a lady. She wears her hair perfectly curled and her make up is always applied first thing in the morning. She knows how to command and keep attention, and coincidentally how to scare them on a very base level. She's dangerous, but easily presents herself as approachable.

She was a spy for Great Britain first and foremost and she knows how to play a role when one is tossed at her. Those who know this might have difficulties in processing the differences between what is real and what is fake. Those she trusts most know her for who she is. She is mostly that calm, confident woman who can easily punch a man in the face or shoot someone in the knee, and in rare occasions beat men in the face with a brief case while wearing high heels. She is intelligent and quick-witted which has frequently saved her life and the lives of those around her. She doesn't take sass from anyone, good or bad, and if annoyed, she takes no pains to hide it.

But that isn't all she is. Peggy is a chronic worrier and a dreamer. She often felt as if her place within the SSR and her position with the US Army was tenuous at best and only truly solid because Captain America liked her, and having that rubbed in her face at every moment convenient for those with power over her did nothing to soothe over those raw nerves. This makes her work twice as hard and never stop to second guess herself. It's what drove her to take on a mission by herself and what will make her a formidable founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Steve Rogers was the first man she ever loved. He wasn't like any man in the military she had ever known. He had a huge heart, a large amount of gumption and a smile that could make her toes curl. A part of her is glad he never got to know how deeply she felt for him, not because he would take advantage of something she felt was a minor weakness, but because he wouldn't. He would have been nearly too perfect for her and that was always a heady feeling. Once he understood how capable she was, he treated it as a fact and didn't try to keep her from joining in the fight.

She always had a firm moral code and an incredible sense of who she was and what her capabilities are. Steve's memory has simply pushed her to be even better at what she already is.
Why would your character be chosen? She can take down five men on her own with a brief case and her wits. She's incredibly smart and quick-witted and conventionally very attractive. She can also quite possibly kill you with lipstick and a paper clip.
How much does your character know about nonhumans? She knows more than some. She knows they exist. She knows of men who can become something less than human. And she has seen what alien technology can do to a man.
Why this character: Peggy. Peggy is my darling warrior woman who I have been playing for well over a year.

First-Person: [Peggy's irritation shows in her tight, clipped words. It's all said with barely concealed fury at being kidnapped in the middle of a highly sensitive debriefing and her frustration at the disorganized greeting and serious lack of information. A prophecy is all well and good when you believe in that sort of thing. What she wants to know is what anyone is doing about it?]

I require a gun and a change of clothes. Preferably in that order. Thank you.

Presentation: Peggy presents herself as capable, collected, and very confident in what she does and what she knows.

Motivations: Peggy is a chronic worrier. She often feels as if her place within the SSR and her position with the US Army is tenuous at best and only truly solid because Captain America likes her. This is why she works as hard as she does, never stopping to second guess herself and keeps moving onward because if she stops to reflect upon certain circumstances in her life the worry and regret may bog her down indefinitely. Especially killing her mother's ambitions to have her settle down, instead taking after her father and engaging in a military career where so few women had before.

Prose: It wasn't amusing the first time the bizarrely dressed guards had informed her of where she was. It didn't become any more entertaining when they told her what she was about to do. Peggy bristled as she was hustled into the windowless room, pulling from their hands before they could continue to push her along like cattle.

"I don't suppose you have a gun I could use," she asked, first to her escorts and then the ladies and gentlemen on the elevated platform. It was a rather useless question. From the amount of planning and detail put into place, they wouldn't leave a deadly weapon for their participants to use against them. Or at least not one that could do an enormous amount of damage.

Prove herself, they had told her. Impress them and you will be rewarded for it later. Now how the bloody hell was she meant to do that in an empty gymnasium with no one to fight against? She doubted any of the well-dressed people watching her would be willing to have their perfectly sculpted faces punched in, though the urge to act on that impulse was large.

Peggy drummed her fingers against her hips and eyed the line-up before her. She had been in life or death situations before, but this time she was woefully unprepared for it.
