No way Peri lore
Apologies if this sucks, I am not the best when it comes to storytelling and am slightly uncreative so forgive me for my mediocre writing skills. This is going to be a bit long so I hope you like reading.

Peri is born, her mother dies when she is young, fatherless and now motherless child gets put in a boarding school at the age of 14. She gets bullied by the daughter of one of the staff workers. Let’s call this character that will probably never be named “Jane” as a placeholder because it’s the most basic name I could think of.

“Jane” makes fun of Peri because that’s her way of coping with the recent divorce her mother went through. But after weeks of doing so, it just became a bad habit of hers, Peri was confused about why she was being targeted and became quickly agitated with Jane. She then got a new reason to hate her because her mother started to treat Peri like her own child. Jane became much more envious of Peri, treating her worse than before. Peri went from being teased to being verbally abused. Jane would do all of this behind her mother’s back, being two-faced and acting differently in front of her. But Jane’s mother, being oblivious to the situation, told Jane that she was thinking of adopting Peri. Infuriated and most likely jealous, Jane plotted to aggravate Peri, thus causing Jane’s mother to rethink her decision.

Jane proceeds to steal a picture frame from Peri’s room while she’s out, that picture frame happens to contain the last picture of Peri’s mother. When Peri returns to her room, she notices that the photograph of her mother has gone missing. She immediately suspects that Jane took it and leaves the room to search for her. Jane had taken the picture out of the frame and taken it with her for recreation in the school’s courtyard. Peri confronts Jane, she asks where the picture went, and Jane pulls it out of her pocket and does the cliche “Oh you mean this?”

Peri tries to take it back, but gets pushed aside and teased about how her mother is gone, Jane then begins to slightly rip the picture, trying to get Peri to attempt to get physical so that she can use that against her. Peri tries to maintain herself but Jane takes it too far and rips the photo in half.

“Oops.”

Clenching her fists, Peri yells in a fit of rage. Seconds later, wailing can be heard. Peri looks up to see that Jane’s hand has been contorted into an unnatural state. She is paralyzed in fear as Jane is shouting in pain. Everyone else in the courtyard was startled by the screaming and saw that Jane’s hand had been broken. Peri was shocked, she didn’t know what to do or how she caused this to happen.

After that Peri was put into Juvenile Detention, and Jane’s mother ended up not adopting Peri after Jane explained what happened on their way to the hospital. Jane, still in pain, was confused. Peri never took a step forward, but somehow her hand ended up being damaged. All Jane could recall was a faint purple glow, and then the cracking of bones. More importantly, she didn’t think a broken hand was worth Peri not getting adopted.

Peri on the other hand was just as confused. She didn’t move an inch, she only thought about what she wanted to do, but she didn’t actually want to break Jane’s hand, she just wanted to make her feel how she felt. Oh well, it was too late to do anything about it now, she got what she deserved and that was the end of it. After spending some time in Juvenile Detention, Peri began noticing objects she looked at would move by themselves. She thought she was just seeing things, but the more she would focus on the object, the more it would become apparent that they aren’t moving by themselves, Peri was moving them. She came to the conclusion that her confrontation with Jane evoked this strange ability.

After her time in Juvenile Detention, she was sent to a different boarding school, since the previous one didn’t want to deal with Peri’s little “incident”. Peri was mostly avoided since word got around pretty quickly about what happened, but this didn’t really bother Peri, she was more focused on her new ability to interact with things without physically touching them. As she grew, so did her power; by the time Peri was 16 she could easily lift up objects such as bottles, books, and chairs, she could open doors without needing to physically push or pull a handle, and she could even press buttons just by looking at them.

After she finished school she now had to live on her own. So she started working at retail stores to earn some money. After working for a considerable amount of time, she managed to save up enough money to live in a small apartment.

(Now for some ideas/trivia stuff)
Idea for Peri in BootLegged was she was going to come across a hitman business, and would be hired not to kill, but to retrieve people. All she had to do was use her psychokinesis and drag them back to the dudes who hired her and she would get paid. (Explains why she went looking for…[Read more]
