ā - cooking/food headcanon
The healthiest (and sometimes grossest) stuff youāll ever eat. Peyton wastes a lot of energy ā not working her ass off trying to keep a family above water, like some ā practicing and training. And if sheās not at the gym, sheās working at her fatherās office, chained to a desk (a nightmare realized, really) and desperately trying not to grow into her office chair.
Sheās very picky when it comes to where her food is grown. It has to be local, no preservatives, without pesticides ā preferably as raw as possible. Peyton has the money to spend it on nice food, so she does. Itās not unlikely that youāll see her drinking a smoothie sheās made for herself that morning made out of all natural protein powder and organic fruits. Also, sheās a vegan. A strict one, and has been since she was in middle school. And no, it wasnāt because it was a āfadā ā she actually hates the taste and production of meat and doesnāt like eating animal products.
Though sheās got the option to eat out wherever she likes, Peyton for the most part cooks for herself at home. Itās a nice activity to partake in after a long practice or an especially boring day at the office; she turns on the music in her giant kitchen and sings at the top of her lungs/dances while sheās sautĆ©ing and baking and whisking and whatnot. If youāre friends with her, sheās most definitely bringing you over to her place to cook. Itās up to you if you like the food or not, because itās definitelyā¦for certain tastebuds.Ā
ā -. old age/aging headcanon
Worries about it constantly, for two reasons: one, she likes the way she looks and is not a fan of wrinkles (sheās literally covered in freckles; itās almost a given that the sun is going to fuck up her complexion even more), and two, thereās a possibility of serious injury and consequential benching from dancing. And that right now is not an option.
Yes, she is on the older side of her twenties, and she should be settling down, taking her fatherās company, maybe getting married ā but thatās not what her heart is set on. She still feels like a twenty two year old, in body and spirit. If she justā¦keeps delaying the inevitable, and continues to live as she does, maybe sheāll be able to live the life she wants to live, instead of the life her parents want her to live. Right?
The thing is, her trust fund comes into action at thirty five. If she can hold out until then and stop her parents from locking her into the family business (theyāve also been pushing the possibility of obtaining a MFA degree on her, no thank you) then sheāll have plenty enough money to run away on her own terms, start her own dance studio, and grow old the way she wants to. For now she lives in her parentās money and sort of has to obey their rules.Ā
ā¼ - appearance headcanon
Peyton is in the best physical shape of her life, and she loves being at top condition at all times. Itās a pride thing as much as it is a self-love thing; when she looks in the mirror she sees hard work and long hours. This body, her body, took years in the making. Itās also useful to have a six or eight pack for all the moves she tries out in the studio ā flipping doesnāt come easily if you donāt have core strength. That being said, she has never necessarily been out of shape: her parents put her in ballet classes since she could walk, and sheās been so hardcore about dance that there was no time for an awkward chubby phase.
One part of her appearance she tries desperately to hide are her freckles. It comes from those adolescent years of ballet training, when all of the other girls would make fun of her for the spots dotting every corner of her body. Ballet dancers were supposed to be petite and pale as porcelain. Peyton was petite, but her complexion was certainly not porcelain. Even though sheās moved into more hip-hop urban styles she still makes an effort to hide the freckles she was born with. Sheās become quite the makeup expert because of it.
Her wardrobe is three fold: there are the clothes she wears to work: ultra modern, sleek, figure hugging, the clothes she wears with her friends: also modern but sexy, lots of black and white, things that show off her body, and the clothes she wears to dance: urban streetwear, basically, stuff that moves well on her body and is easy to dance in. She can easily be three different Peytons when she wakes up in the morning.
ā - Ā Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon
She has an apartment in the city a few blocks away from her fatherās office; her parents bought it as an āinvestmentā, because the building itās in is in a rapidly developing area thatās going to get great traction and marketability once Peyton moves up and gets a larger house for her future family. Itās a renovated warehouse space, floor to ceiling windows, really sleek and modern design, basically everything the movies show a young, single 28 year old living in.Ā
Except itās messy. Really, really messy ā not with food and trash, because sheās not that disgusting. Thereās justā¦clothing and cards and work papers and books everywhere because she admittedly never learned to clean up for herself. A maid comes in once a week and turns the place inside out, so thatās usually when she invites over guests. Otherwise itās just her in an beautiful apartment littered with her crap.Ā
She has a puggle named Hoot that is basically her number one man (he sleeps in her bed and eats her food ā she canāt keep him on a vegan diet, however, so she goes against her rules to keep meat in the house for him) and heās quite well trained except for the odd eaten shoe or purse. He has a cute but slightly annoying habit of baying and barking at the door anytime someone other than Peyton buzzes up and enters the apartment. After he calms down he trots back to Peyton and puts his paws on her thighs so she can pick him up, which she almost always does. Heās terribly spoiled.Ā
The apartment has two bedrooms, and sheās converted the larger one into a training/dance room for her and some of her dancing friends to practice in for late nights, or when sheās too lazy to go out to the gym. It, other than the kitchen, is her favorite room in the house.
