APPEARANCE: Peter has always been told he has a rather mouse-like appearance. His eyes are on the small side, and he can commonly be found squinting. He probably should have glasses, but he doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with how he sees. Contrastingly, he’s always had large ears. His parents used to say “he’ll grow into them” whenever someone pointed them out, but really, they just grew with him.
Bodily, Peter has thinned out since he hit puberty. He used to be quite overweight, but over the years has grown into himself as he’s grown taller, and now is only slightly overweight. In fact, he’s kind of proud that most of the time you don’t notice that he’s heavier than everyone else. However, he seems to have hit his peak somewhere in 6th year, and has since been gaining weight again. Though he’s grown into his girth, he still isn’t tall. While most of his peers stand around 6’0 or more, Peter is only 5’8” and this leaves him standing at least half a head below the other three Marauders.
Peter’s hair is a nondescript blonde/brown color, so fundamentally normal that it is almost as if his hair has no color. At the least, it is no color worth noticing. His eyes, however, are another story. Where his hair is a plain, unnoticeable blonde/brown, Peter’s eyes are a very bright blue/gray. They almost look out of place amidst his lackluster hair and pale skin, especially as his eyes tend to be either half-lidded or squinting. The brightness of his eyes just doesn’t match the dull rest of him.

FACE CLAIM: Jamie Bell

PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:Peter is precariously balanced between knowing he’s really not an appealing person, and wishing desperately that he was. Because he knows this, though he won’t readily admit it to anyone, Peter has always tended to find the most dominant personality and associate himself with them. He figures that he’ll become appealing by association, which he considers a step up from unappealing on his own.
As such, Peter’s personality is kind of that he doesn’t have one. He will go along with any plan James or Sirius thinks up. The only time he’ll say anything about the plan is the occasional worry that they will be caught. Despite his willingness to follow the other Marauders to hell and back, he would rather avoid getting detention, if he has a choice.
Besides blindly following the other Marauders, Peter generally tries to be friendly to everyone. Most of the time when James and Sirius are teasing Snape, Peter will just stand nearby. He’s not a very quick thinker, and everything he could think of to say would be a repeat of something someone else said five minutes ago. So, he’ll usually turn into a sentinel, watching for any professors that might be coming. Through his sentinel duties Peter has trained himself to have sharp eyes and ears, but this tends to make him have jerky movements, twitching towards any movement or sound ne noticed.
Peter is generally shy; he won’t go up and talk to people without severe provocation. However, he isn’t afraid to ask for help when he needs it (which is often). It took him a while to learn, but once he realized that he just couldn’t do as well on his own as he does when someone helps him, he’s taken to asking for help frequently, sometimes even when he already knows what he’s doing. Usually he’ll go to Remus, as the he’s most likely to actually help Peter rather than tease him about being slow.

BOGGART: Being pointed and laughed at by all his peers.
PATRONUS: A rat
HOPES FOR THE FUTURE: Peter just hopes that he’ll manage to be successful in something. He doesn’t particularly care what.

SPECIAL ABILITIES: Animagus (Unregistered)
BLOOD: Pure
BIRTHPLACE: Bosham, England
MY FAMILY:

Charles Pettigrew (41)
Emelia (Matthyson) Pettigrew (40)

WHATS IN THE PAST: Peter’s parents are not high-standing people. Both their families reside in the bottom on pureblood society, with neither being particularly rich. With the substantial gap between them and the high-class pureblood families (like the Blacks, Malfoys and Lestranges), neither the Matthyson or Pettigrew families had the opportunity to instill the Pureblood Sense of Superiority ™ in their children, as they had to work directly with muggleborns, and sometimes even muggles themselves, and they could not risk their children saying things they shouldn’t. It would lose them business. The two families worked closely together, and it was decided that their children, Charles and Emelia, would be married.
Once they were married, Peter’s parents decided to get themselves out of the family businesses, and moved to the small country town of Bosham. They had nothing against their families, but did not want their way of life to overtake the new couple. After moving, they kept largely to themselves, opening up a small shop in town, and soon Peter was born. Still in an effort to keep their family separated from themselves, Peter only saw his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins at Christmas.
In town, Peter played with the other children, but he often couldn’t keep up. Children like to run a lot, and Peter’s small, overweight body couldn’t perform the same as the other kids. He would always make the effort to play, but soon would come back inside his parents’ shop and help where he could. This is where he would learn to stay quiet and do as he was told.
After Peter started attending Hogwarts, it was evident that he would not have very many friends if he didn’t do something about it. Thus he found James Potter and Sirius Black, the most overpowering personalities in their year. There were also the powerful forms of Lucius Malfoy, Rodolphus Lestrange, and Bellatrix Black, but Peter knew (his parents had told him) that they would already have a network of alliances arranged, and there would most likely be no space for him there (though he should be careful to not do anything that would make them reject him, thus lowering the Pettigrew name even further). So Peter found himself chasing the eventual Marauders, and was soon more or less accepted into their group.
Years passed and Peter managed to achieve adequate grades to keep him advancing to the next year, though his grades have never (and most likely will never) be spectacular. Through the Marauders’ pranks Peter has learned to keep his eyes and ears sharp, to notice if anyone might be coming.
He still gets the feeling that he still doesn’t quite fit in with his peers, but now in his 7th year at Hogwarts, Peter has decided that that’s really not very important. Friends won’t be important after he graduates and finds a job, at least, not the friends from school. He will find new friends within his work, and go from there.

RP EXAMPLE: (as Enny)
Jenny didn't seem to have any qualms about his relocating her to lay on top of him, and actually seemed quite comfortable. Enny considered this a good thing, but it was still new to him. It would take some getting used to, being touched by people, touching them in return, after so many years of keeping to himself, but Enny was sure it wouldn't be something he would mind getting used to.

Jenny's comeback to his quip about fast blood, accompanied by her wink, caught Enny off-guard, and he was almost sure a blush would be spreading across he cheeks. More than you know... Hoping that the cold air would have made his face pink enough so that his blush wouldn't be obvious, he continued with his offer of relocating. Jenny agreed, but buried her face back in his sweater before rolling off of him and allowing him to stand. He sat up and took the hand she offered him, but knowing that were he to pull he would only accomplish pulling her back down, used his other hand behind him to boost himself up and stand.

As they began waking back toward the castle, Enny stopped. "Wait, there's one thing I want to do before we go back inside. It won't take long." Moving himself over to a patch of snow that hadn't been walked on yet, Enny laid down and spread his arms and legs back and forth, effectively making a snow angel. Standing back up, Enny brushed the snow off of his clothes as he walked back to Jenny. "That, for the record, is the extent of my snow abilities previous to the snowball fight you made me have with you." Leaning in, Enny quickly kissed Jenny again. "Not that I mind. That snowball fight is important to our story."

ANSWER: Peter turning out to have at least one redeeming moment before he died.
OTHER:What? He DOES exist??!?!
