Character Information

Name: Petunia Elkwood
Age: 18
Fandom: Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet
Appearance: A cute young lady with purpleish-pink hair and a bright smile. Usually wearing dresses in pinks and blues, and a pink hat. [ X ]

History: Not much is really known about Petunia prior to the start of the series, with brief snippets of her past shown through flashbacks and one chapter. What is known is that she lived with her parents, her older brother Elijah, and their adoptive brother Meredith in Peth, Australia, and that the series itself takes place in 1921. She liked to tag along with them wherever they went, up to and including Melbourne, Australia when they were older and left her behind. With the encouragement of her more liberal minded aunt, Petunia cut her hair boyishly short, crossdressed as a man, and fled from Perth to the other side of the country to Melbourne, intent on getting a job and proving to her brothers that she could make it on her own in Melbourne. However due to being Aboriginal, getting a job was nearly impossible and Petunia was denied at every turn. Though she managed to meet Todd Allison after trying to pay in half-pennies for her ticket, the two were not on friendly terms. At some point she met with two men, Marcus and Rolls, who told her that “the whites” would never hire her. Angry she stormed off and ran into Todd Allison, leading to an explosive confrontation on her end in which she shouted all her worries to him about being a nuisance. They sat down and talked, but after accidentally revealing her true, obviously girlish, name, Petunia panicked and fled.

It’s not known how petunia got the job she managed to get, how her and Todd Allison ended up living next door, nor how she met Hana. The start of the series begins with Petunia lamenting about how her life isn’t going the way she wants it to, when Hana urges her to use her “feminine wiles” to find out more about Todd Allison, whom Petunia admits is the only thing she finds interesting in the city of Melbourne.

When Todd Allison is kidnapped, Petunia is there to witness it, but before she can think to go get help, she’d held at gunpoint by a terrifying man named Cyril. Cyril takes her to meet his boss--who turns out to be Elijah, with Meredith at his side. When he finds out t’s Todd Allison that was kidnapped on his orders, he cancels his deal with Cyril and orders him to stop it and rescue Todd Allison--giving Petunia over as his new mistress and telling him to take her with him. Forced to tag along, Petunia is roped into the rescue mission, and even forced to shoot and kill a man. In the end she manages to rescue Todd Allison and the two end up forging a rather strange relationship with Cyril.

Petunia winds up losing her job and, that same day, is invited to Cyril’s home, where she and Todd Allison (though mostly Todd) speak to Cyril. Though it’s less speaking and more, watching the two men get drunk and then Todd telling Cyril that he wants to hire him, much to the surprise of all involved. Cyril laughs, tells Todd that he better be serious, and leaves after pulling Petunias trademark hat down over her eyes, leaving it up to Petunia to drag the drunk Todd back to his apartment.

The next morning Todd is quickly ushered away by another member of the Violet Investigation Team, a team made up of a small group of men charged with finding out about a bomber in Australia, know only as ‘Violet.’ Upon overhearing this, Hana takes Petunia on an adventure to find out just what is happening by having them sneak into the Parliament House. This goes about as well as expected, with Petunia quickly being caught by Meredith and Hana kicking down another man who discovers them, grabbing Petunia, and running off as fast as they can. Either later or the next morning (it’s not clear), Petunia goes to apologize for causing so much trouble for Todd and to thank him for all he’s done, only to find Cyril there. She tries to escape into her room, but Cyril forces himself into her apartment. After a brief chat and Petunia giving him tea, she discovers that he has eaten in several days and is feeling sick; she ushers him to lay down and rest and he gives her money to get food for him. However as she leaves, Todd comes up the stairs and tries to talk to her. Cyril quickly makes sure they’re all aware that he’s in her room and that she’d going on an errand for him.

Cyril and petunia end up waiting in Todd’s apartment, with Todd acting increasingly odd. She soon finds out that Cyril’s there to accept Todd’s job offer and learns that it’s to steal spiridum, a neuro toxin. She then learns that Cyril’s badly bruised all over, prompting her and Todd to launch into a frenzy, asking, “WHAT DID YOU DO!?” and demanding he rest and let them help him. After shouting at them to “fuck off already!” and to knock it off, Cyril leaves. Todd apologizes for always dragging Petunia into his affairs, then asks her to have a biscuit with him.

Canon Point: End of chapter 12
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 depths to her that have not been fully explored. When saving Todd Allison, after being stuck in a room with him and one of the gun-wielding kidnappers, 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.

Game Specific

Suitability: Despite her youth and relative innocence, Petunia's shown to be fully capable of handling herself and even killing. When she sees Cyril's killed people, while surprised by the fact there's a dead body, she's more confused by the fact that she thought they were friends, rather then freaking out over someone being dead. She also watched with only a little flinching as Cyril picked off people in front of her, and suffered no side-effects of killing someone after she does so, showing that she's capable of handling death with a cam rationality.

Weapon: A pistol, Model M&P9 JG. It's the type of gun she knows how to shoot and is comfortable with handling, though this gun is much more modern than the kind Petunia owns. It has a splash of pink to the grip,

Samples

Log/Third Person Sample: If there was one thing Petunia had to say she was grateful for, she knows that right now, the first thing out of her mouth would be "Elijah." If it wasn't for her brother being here with her, Petunia wasn't sure if she'd be able to adjust as well as she was. She missed Meredith, and Todd Allison--and even Cyril. But as long as Elijah was here, things would be okay. They'd get through this and be home before they knew it! (Though she couldn't pretend to understand how that would work or if they even could go home).

That's what she'd like to believe, anyhow.

Petunia shook her head, refusing to let the bad feelings creep up on her. No way! It was too nice of a day to bother thinking of depressing things and so, quite firmly, she would have none of it.

She had sunshine, a nice walk, and a tuna sandwich with her name on it.

She giggled, feeling her smile returning as she settled on a bench overlooking the ocean, feeling the breeze on her face.

Petunia was halfway through the sandwich when she felt eyes on her. It didn't take long to find the source; a small gray and white cat was staring intently at her--or more accurately her sandwich. Petunia looked down at the last half of her sandwich and debated a moment.

"Okay, cat, you can have- woah!" She jerked in alarm when she looked up and found that one cat had become three. She wasn't sure where the other two had come from, but hesitantly she put the sandwich on the ground and watched as the cats ran over.

Two more ran out from hiding somewhere and the group descended on the tuna.

Petunia couldn't help but laugh, sitting on the ground to get a better look at them as they finished the sandwich off and stared at her.

"Huh? Oh...I don't have anymore! Sorry!'

The cats moved, one by one, closer to her, and Petunia felt a little stab of panic. "H-hey! I said I was sorry! You're not going to attack me, are you!?"

The cats either didn't hear or didn't care because they kept coming. Petunia flinched, expecting to feel the swipe of claws any second. Instead what she got was a warm weight on her lap and then her chest, and finally a furry face pressing against her cheek. The purring seemed impossibly loud and the girl opened her eyes to watch as the five cats purred up a storm, swarming over her.

It was adorable for all of five minutes before Petunia realized she didn't know how to escape this situation without dislodging and disappointing all of the cats. "Uh-oh..." She looked around, frantically looking for someone, or something, to help her.

Journal Entry/First Person Sample: (not set in in game, ftr)

[The text stops and soon Petunia’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. 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]
