"Alchemy is a science, and I am a scientist. This isn't magic or witchcraft, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or is too misinformed to realize that he's been lied to as well."
~ Meet Peri. ~
Name: Perenelle Hyde, Peri to friends.
Age: nineteen
Gender: female
Birthdate: March 15
Occupation: apprentice alchemist
Social Class: upper-class
Relationships: {WIP!}
♓________run on the wheel, jog through the maze
Perenelle's looks are, in a word, ordinary. She is pretty, in a conventional sort of way, but there's nothing especially different or unique-looking about her. She has fair skin and green eyes, and her slightly wavy brown hair is cut to chin-length and is usually held in place with an Alice band. Her height (5'7"-ish) and weight (a lady never tells) are perfectly average, although she is still a bit insecure about her unfashionably prominent hips.
With clothing, function is always Peri's first priority due to her work, although fashion isn't entirely out of the question. The typical outfit for her is usually a simple blouse and a knee-length skirt, sometimes paired with a sweater vest depending on the weather, and simple, flat-heeled shoes. She tends to favor cool and neutral colors, off-whites and blues especially. The only jewelry she wears is a gold locket and the occasional brooch.

Perenelle is a very private person. She's not antisocial or shy, certainly; she is quite friendly and often enjoys an intelligent conversation. She just has very little reason to share her feelings or opinions; she doesn't feel that they're particularly important to anyone, so she keeps them to herself. She's more the passive and agreeable sort, not the type to raise a fuss. She rarely gets into arguments, and when she does, she usually caves in to the other party in order to prevent a conflict.
While Peri can be very serious-minded, she can just as often have a spacey, directionless manner. Her attention span can be a fickle entity at times, and she hates it. She has a strong work ethic, and has trouble resting until a task is finished. Despite her easily-distracted nature, she's quite intelligent and perceptive, with a knack for noticing details.
♓______________________boil it down, flatten it out
Ever since Perenelle was young, it was clear she was perfect stock for the business of alchemy. A gifted, privileged child with a sharp mind and a thirst for knowledge, it was only natural that she would be pushed into pursuing the most noble of sciences. After a chance encounter with a distinguished alchemist, her parents shipped 12-year-old Peri off to New York to learn his craft. She threw herself into her apprenticeship wholeheartedly, eager to learn from the best of the best. She hasn't been in touch with her family since.
Due to her parents encouraging her studies rather... actively, Peri ended up a rather sheltered child. She never seemed to mind much, since her books and her imagination provided her with all the companionship she needed.
