BASICS

Peri was adopted as a baby by an elderly librarian, Dewey Winters. Being his only family, the two were absolutely inseparable. Peri often spent her days being taught by her father and spending time in his library, learning more by reading his books. 

Since she was homeschooled all the way up to college, Peri was generally friends with the children of the library regulars, eventually collecting a small group of close friends. 

Peri discovered her powers when she was very young and technically, her father found them first when little snowflakes or frost appeared whenever she sneezed as a child. 

While Peri generally kept her powers hidden, her father was absolutely fascinated with it and fully supported his daughter for who she was. They would often have little “training sessions” to see exactly how much power Peri had. While she felt a bit isolated from her friends with her frost powers, Peri knew she had a true supporter in her father. 

Meeting Tink their freshman year of college was definitely a shocking experience. Finding out she had a twin she had never known about? Logically, Peri felt she should be angry at her father but soon found out he knew just as much as she did about Tink. 

She was a bit overwhelmed at first, finding out she had a secret twin sister who also came with a rather large friend group ecstatic to meet her would likely overwhelm anyone who had grown up as shy as Peri. However, she really enjoys having people who care about her.

Peri is a fairly quiet and shy person. She doesn’t usually strike up conversations, unless necessary, and is generally a more laidback member of any conversations. But that isn’t to say she isn’t full of ideas! If someone is close enough, Peri will gladly talk on and on about something she’s passionate about.

While Peri is majoring in Early Childhood Education, she has plans to get a Masters in Library Science so she can work at the library with her father. Though, she definitely has plenty of experience doing little jobs. 

Peri stays in touch with her father often. Even if he does live in Corona, she loves texting or calling him whenever she can. They often meet for coffee/tea/hot chocolate dates and Peri usually surprises him at his library when she isn’t busy. 

FUN FACTS 

Peri finds comfort in going to bookstores or libraries. Since she grew up with a librarian as a father, she often escapes to places surrounded with books for refuge.

Classical music is her jam. She has a playlist over four hours long that is just full of classical music. She plays it at night for bed or while she’s studying or even while she’s just walking around.

Her favorite time of day tends to be very early morning, pre-sunrise and sunrise time. There’s something special about the tinge of frost and the chill in the air. It’s not unusual to find Peri wandering around in the early morning with her classical playlist on.

Peppermint chocolate flavored nearly anything is Peri’s absolute favorite. Mint chocolate ice cream? Peppermint hot chocolate? Dark chocolate & mint candies? When the holiday season rolls around and all of that becomes more widely available, Peri makes sure to stock up. 

While Tink is very bold and brash at times, Peri truly does love getting to spend time with her. It’s like trying to make up for lost time and the two contrasting forces are definitely a sight to be seen.

Peri struggles a bit with giving advice. She doesn’t want to see anyone as a horribly malicious human being, which is definitely a bit difficult with Tink very clearly stating her distaste for anyone she doesn’t like, but she’s also aware that not everyone is a good person, so it’s a bit hard for her.

Peri is a bit too over-trusting of people. This naïveté often leads her to getting close to usually not the Best kind of characters.

CONNECTIONS

Secret Twin Sister: Tink Bell! The girls met at their freshman orientation and well, it was pretty obvious there was something a bit too similar to The Parent Trap going on there. The girls worked together to unearth hospital records and discovered they were twins. The two now share an apartment together.

Fairy Squad: Tink’s fairy posse!! 

Childhood Friends: Peri grew up in Corona and especially in her father’s library, so any close childhood friends who may visited the library often as a child would be so great

Accidental Magic Buddies: Oh snap, one of us accidentally did our magic and the other caught us, but everything’s good because oh snap!! You’re magic too! I dunno, I think it would be fun.

People Who Thought She Was Tink But Then Figured Out This Shy, Quiet Girl With Tink’s Face Is Not Tink: What it says 💙

HEADCANONS

it really is no surprise that guy is so full of himself. his mother was a model, beautiful and mysterious; she was so much of a mystery that guy has and still does spend his days trying to learn more about her. he was mostly raised by his dad who was a fool, but he at least had style.

his expensive tastes 100% come from his parents and in school he made sure he was always dressed to impress. he liked having all eyes on him and he liked knowing that he always left an impression on someone. he was a bit of a drama king (and still is) so he really knew how to charm and work a crowd of people.

because he constantly needs attention,. he was constantly sneaking out and getting intro trouble. this peaked in high school especially. but sneaking out to a senior party his sophomore year was how he met the wonderful poppy pink. poppy was the most dazzling person at the party and by far the sweetest. he hadn’t really surrounded himself with sweet until her and he is happy he did because he gets along with poppy better than he ever has with anyone else. they are kindred spirits and he would do almost anything she asked of him.

he is a hedonist to the core. he kept it pretty basic throughout high school but the moment he was in college he took pleasure seeking to every level imaginable. he partied hard; sloppy sex, drugs, alcohol, the works. and there was never a moment where he wasn’t on something or not all over someone. 

the incident happened after his 21st birthday. he had been on a bender for a good week and went especially hard for his birthday. being as full of himself as he is he thought he would be able to get behind the wheel while incredibly intoxicated with a bunch of friends and almost lost his life doing it. he got a DUI, lost his license and  got a hefty fine.he thanks the party gods poppy wasn’t with him that night.

the DUI didn’t actually stop him from going as hard as he was, it just embarrassed him that it happened so close to home. so when he heard about corona and his friends wanting to move he was on board. he needed a new scene, a new place to party, and he was sure corona was gonna be party central.

when he first moved to the island he was sure it was a dud. the parties were lame but guy kept pushing through them. he promised poppy he would tone himself down a little bit and he did, sort of. at least he tried to for a bit.but he was bored easily and with boredom came restlessness.

but luckily his boredom did create something positive. one day he ended up at some old karaoke bar that was on its last leg. guy thought that was unacceptable and made it his passion project. he put a lot of his work, sweat, and money into the place, using his cushion for good use. he named his masterpiece Y.O.K.O. (you only karaoke once) and it has been his party place ever since.

while he loves Y.O.K.O. with his entire being, running the place isn’t enough. so now he has been dabbling in djing, making new mixes to play in the background when there wasn’t anyone singing. he likes doing it and he likes it even more when people mention how good the music scene is in the place. 

he is addicted to glitter. glitter in his hair, glitter in his clothes, glitter at the bar. you know guy has been somewhere from the trails of glitter alone.

he recently found out he may or may not have a son. yep! he is in complete denial and refuses to even speak on it. but it is on his mind a lot. no one knows, not even poppy. he is not a kid person. (lily rose you are it).

he has nicknames for all of poppy’s exes and current flings. (creek is yogi nazi, angelo is angry bird, barb is punky pie, branch is bold and beige, and prescott is prickle pants bc....yanno.) sometimes he updates them, sometimes he does not.

he is pansexual. he loves everyone and is so touchy.

but yeah he just...parties hard, loves selfishly, and looks amazing doing it.

when others describe marnie some things that are said are; moody, dream-like, like a memory

parties are marnie’s favourite thing. they’re an escape for her. she feels important.

marnie loves bird, often feeling like a caged bird herself.

living with her nan is, in many ways, the best thing to happen to her. she’s able to spread her wings more.
