Description
Golden honey hued tresses frame a delicately featured face, giving her an almost angelic countenance, as if she could do no wrong. Her wide, sea blue eyes further this innocent image, but there is a sardonic arch to her brows that belies that mien on occasion. Barely five feet tall, she carries herself with the thoughtless confidence of a girl much taller than she; an effortless grace prevents all but intentional oversight from those of loftier statures.
Currently she wears a white button down shirt with the buttons on the wrong side, a hint that the shirt itself is borrowed from someone of the opposite gender. Her tie is the green and silver pattern expected of all in her house, and over these is a gray cashmere cardigan, soft and feminine. A black high-waisted skirt with crisp pleats falls to the knee, and knee-high black socks with green argyle diamonds at the top are on her feet, as well as a pair of gleaming black flats. Over all of this are the dark, flowing robes of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the serpentine crest of Slytherin House boldly embroidered on the leftmost side.
Wand
Thirteen and a half inches, rowan, supple, with a unicorn hair core.
Pet
Baine is a British long-hair, with a smushed face and a streak of black over one eye that gives him an entirely mischievous countenance that he lives up to completely. As if in resistance to all Peyton's efforts at instilling chivalry into the men in her life, Baine goes out of his way to wreak havoc, earning him his name and place of honor as the bane of Peyton's life. She loves him anyway.
Background
Born Peyton Elizabeth Crabbe in London's Borough of Isling in February of 1923, her birth was a ray of sunshine on an otherwise unextraordinary winter evening. Born to Miranda Crabbe nee Dippet and Daveth Crabbe III, Peyton had one brother two years older than she, and one brother just a year younger. Born into a pure-blooded lineage, Peyton was raised with all the dogma that entails in a family that believes in purist supremacy, and as is the norm with an upbringing devoid of rebellion, she accepted this way of thinking without difficulty. While not a particularly close family, Peyton groomed her brothers into an acceptable honor-guard, and she had no qualms about wielding them with precision when feeling threatened. While some would say that Peyton was spoiled due to her privileged upbringing, there was a method to her madness and she perfected the art of graciousness.
Like her brother before her and her parents before him, Peyton enrolled at Hogwarts to begin her academic career and was immediately sorted into Slytherin. Effortlessly academic, Peyton's first four years at Hogwarts were not particularly notable, and it wasn't until her fifth year that she began to come out of her shell. Not a shell of shyness, mind, but of the single-minded application to her studies in preparation for her N.E.W.T. level classes.
Relaxing somewhat, she began to make friends and put her years of brother-wrangling to good-use. While not exactly boy-crazy, she was exceptionally fond of attention and had a knack for winding up in situations she needed to be 'saved' from; be it a mouse in a classroom or a book just out of reach in the library. She'd never have put herself in real harm's way - attention is all well and good but pity was beneath Peyton entirely. 'Boys are knights in shining armor, and she is a beautiful princess so they should be lining up to help her' is rather lengthy for a motto, but it fit Peyton to a tee. And if those knights in shining armor needed practice at being chivalrous, well Peyton was the most deserving of their efforts, surely?
Things that did not fit Peyton were schedules and personal space: she had a habit of being late for everything; late to wake, late to bed, late to class, even late to leave class when she drifted off into her own head space, writing stories of romance and unicorns and villains with bad hair. This happened a lot. She also had a habit of 'borrowing' things from her friends; sometimes this was a pair of shoes or a hair clip or a quill, other times it was their homework, their ideas, and once in her fourth year she borrowed another girl's identity for a week, on a lark.
