Appearance:http://i.imgur.com/zPjIL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/U5Gnd.png Personality: The one word to describe Petunia on sight would simply be: “Adorable." Pretty, cute, and with a rather cheery disposition, Petunia is the kind of person you want to gather in your arms and hug. She's quirky, prone to shouting or over-reacting before she can think first. In chapter 5, upon learning that Todd Allison is being kept in the back ,she leaps into action and runs straight for the room, not registering the fact that there are still 4 dangerous, armed men alive. When two of them run out of the room, Petunia's response is to elbow one in the gut and then keep running without a second glance. She also tends to get excited easily, and it doesn’t take much to make her laugh or happy.
Petunia also has shown a very independent streak, determined not to be a nuisance to other and prove that she's capable of living on her own, as indicated by her moving to the other side of Australia to prove to her brothers that she can do it without them. Even her own fear doesn't often stop her from speaking her mind (or rather, blurting things out), as in the few occasions where she shouts at Cyril despite being terrified of him, even going so far as to scold him for either being too reckless or when he’s being a jerk. She even calls him a snake in on instance, and also compares him to a spider and a mouse.
Despite being outwardly sweet and holding quite a few mom-like qualities (chapter 12 can basically be summed up as “Todd Allison and Petunia decide to baby Cyril, as they fuss over his wounds and not eating properly”), there are also clear indications of much darker, hidden epths to her that have not been fully explored. When saving Todd Allison, after being stuck in a room with him and one of the gunwielding kidnapers, Petunia firmly tells Todd that she’s not afraid and jumps from their hiding place, shouting at the gunman to drop his weapon or she’ll shoot. Though he tries to lecture her that she should know exactly how he feels, Petunia shouts that she doesn’t, and shoots him. Though she looks surprised at herself and sad, she’s not shown to suffer any further side-effects of having killed someone afterwards, suggesting it might not be the first time. She also doesn’t bat an eyelash at the fact Cyril shows up moments later covered in blood.
Abilites: Petunia is a normal human, though she is able to handle and shoot a gun with ease and takes death pretty easily. (She's only shown yelling at Cyril that “THERE'S A DEAD GUY ON THE GROUND" not so much in disgust, but shock, watches Cyril headshot a couple guys with only a minor wince and is not shown to be suffering any side-effects from killing a man) Other: n/a
SAMPLES First Person: howdoiusethisthinghowdoieraseorspace
[The text stops and soon Petunaia’s managed to turn the webcam on, her cheeks puffed out in aggravation] WHY IS THIS SO COMPLICATED!? [She takes a deep breath and tucks her hair behind her ear, releasing the breath in a sigh.]
Sorry, I’m still figuring a lot of this out. This ‘webcam’ thing is still kind of weird too, actually. Which is what I wanted to talk about. Can someone help me out? Using the text seems pretty convenient, but I can’t seem to make it work right. How do I space the words, or erase things? And how do I punctuate?
It’d be a lot easier if it was just writing... But I guess writing letters would be even more time consuming. I guess I can just call too. But if I text then I don’t have to talk to Cyril face-to-face...
[...Did she say that out loud? Cyril’s going to hear that, isn’t he? There’s a sharp inhale and the webcam is hastily turned off]
Third Person: Deep down, Petunia was happy Cyril was here. She was even more happy that Elijah and Meredith were here; it meant this place, while unfamiliar, wasn’t terribly lonely. She had her family, familiar faces to help ease the ache of homesickness.
What she didn’t like was being married to Cyril. Honestly, she could’ve done without that; what was wrong with their landlord person to think they would’ve been a good couple!? Just thinking about it was getting her worked up, her hands balling into fists.
“ARRGHH!” Finally unable to contain it, the shout of incomprehension was let loose, Petunia grabbing at the sides ofher hat and yanking it down hard. “It doesn’t make any sense! The last person I’d ever want to be married to would be him! Even Meredith would’ve been better!’ Despite being her brother, he was, at least, adopted and was least likely to kill her. As much as she was becoming something of ‘friends’ (for a given value of ‘friend’) with Cyril, he was a very dangerous man, and Petunia wasn’t about to forget that anytime soon.
Petunia paused, realizing she didn’t quite know where she’d manage to wander off to during her minor fit, righting the hat on her hand and dropping her hands to her side. A sign for a petting zoo caught her eye, drawing her in. She could pet a giraffe!? And ride an ostrich? She was so there, happy to pay her way in and start exploring.
Quickly making her way to the nearest person, Petunia cleared her throat lightly and gave a nervous smile. “Excuse me? Who do I talk to about riding animals...?”
