PERSONALITY: [
smart ] - and by smart, peyton means street smart. she spent a lot of time on the streets and as a result, she does pretty well on her own, even in rough parts of town. she's full of wit and snark and she can use it if she ever finds reason to. though the wit comes naturally, lacing itself into just about every conversation she has.
[
impulsive ] - peyton has a tendency to do whatever comes to her mind first. it's not really something she decided on, but rather something caused by her ADHD. this often gets her into sticky situations as she rarely thinks of the consequences of her actions, though it has proved to be a good thing from time to time too.
[
outspoken ] - peyton is very up front and honest about the way she feels, most of the time. if she has a problem with you, she'll let you know. it's the same if she likes you or is fond of you. she likes to stand up for others and what she believes in. she's not one to keep quiet that much.
[
independent ] - peyton has never really had a mother figure and so from a young age, she has strived to make things work on her own, and she has achieved that. In fact, so much so, that she refuses to accept much help from other people. she has a lot of pride and thinks that not being able to do something is weak.
[
adventurous ] - peyton is an adventurous spirit at heart. she has a thirst for adrenaline and absolutely loves trying out new things and going to new places. in this way she is also very daring, usually not one to care much about her well being in such cases.
[
vivacious ] - peyton is a very lively person, always energetic and always the life of the party she's like a giant ball of energy that cannot be tamed. she's also very enthusiastic with the things she does and has often been told to have an infectious smile.
[
argumentative ] - peyton will never go down without a fight. if an argument has begun, she will keep at it till she comes out the victor, no matter what the topic up for debate is. this applies to physical fights as well. she is small but she can pack quite a punch. or a kick if need be.
[
cunning ] - peyton will go to extreme lengths to get what she wants, prove someone wrong or get some information. some would say she could get a little obsessed when it comes to mysteries she can't crack because she does anything possible to find out what she needs to know.
[
stubborn ] - peyton is quite stubborn and rarely relents or admits she's wrong. it can be very frustrating for others, and meeting someone as stubborn as she is, is probably a recipe for disaster.
