Physical Description: Peggy outwardly does not stand out in the crowd. Of course, when she is combed, decently dressed and her face is properly washed. She is a pretty plump girl with an unimpressive rounded face and a blush on her cheeks. A childishly round, upturned nose and plump lips. The eyes are blue, but there is less pigment in one eye, so it seems more gray. Sometimes a girl looks at you with one eye. Depending on which eye she closed, you can guess the course of her thoughts. The eyebrows are sparse and almost transparent, and the hair is light brown, but it is quite possible that they will darken with age. Eyelashes are also light, the sun is dancing on them. In spring and summer, the girl's face is covered with freckles. She invariably rejoices every time this happens, because these freckles hide the scars from chickenpox. Several teeth (fangs and incisors) are missing in her mouth, she is shy to smile, but sometimes she simply cannot restrain herself.
Peggy is delighted with feminine clothes such as dresses with cheerful ruffles, airy knee-length skirts, cute colored scarves and shiny shoes. But most often, outside of lessons, you will be able to see her in striped pajama shorts, worn wide jeans, T-shirts and blouses with a crazy pattern, corduroy overalls or a fleece jacket made in three most incongruous colors. She also loves bright rubber boots and tenderly cherishes her neck scarf in a daisy pattern. Her short hair is often strewn with hairpins, which makes combing them almost impossible.

Mental Description: Peggy Paisley is a child in every sense of the word. A cheerful but thoughtful kid. She has her head in the clouds all the time, her eyes are clouded either by fantasies about upcoming adventures, or by thoughts about things more pressing. Here she covers her gray eye and imagines in front of her not school friends, but new heroes of a fairy tale that has not yet been invented. Here she squints her eye with a blue pupil and puts everything in its place. At first, she may seem silent, unsociable and sad to you. She looks out from under her crooked bangs like a wolf cub. But let her settle into a new society, and you will get to know her for who she really is.
The lively girl Peggy-Paisley will lead you into a new game, and then no one will be left forgotten or rejected. She doesn't like to be alone. She loves noisy holidays and lack of control. Peggy denies miracles… but she believes in them. She often lies, but naively believes that everyone else is telling the truth. She neatly writes out the letters in her notebook. She plops into a puddle with a running start. She folds candy wrappers into butterflies. She steps on meadow flowers. She kisses her friend on the cheek. She shouts "jerk!" in the face of her abuser. She won't leave you if you're in trouble. She will not leave you alone if you are her enemy.
This is Peggy Paisley. Or Peggy-Paisley, as her friends call her.

A few more interesting facts:
→ Peggy does not recognize books, and books without pictures even more so.
← Peggy has developed big sister syndrome.
→ She had her own smartphone, but she never answered calls, and used it to watch cartoons.

Biography: Peggy Paisley came into this world to be happy. Even as a little pink mandrake, she delighted her parents with frequent laughter. Peggy has a mom and dad. The most ordinary mom and dad – everyone had them! But it so happened that Peggy was not quite an ordinary daughter. Magic, of course, magic. From an early age, Peggy knows that there is magic in the world, although she has always been told the opposite. After all, who else brings gifts to children for Christmas, if not Santa Claus? Or where do the left socks disappear after washing, if they are not abducted by evil elves? Peggy used to deny the existence of her gift by repeating the words of adults, but she never doubted its existence.
Magic did not play a leading role in her life. This did not prevent her from attending a secondary school and an optional sewing circle. The girl received average grades and tried not to stay in school for a long time. As soon as the lessons were over, she usually hurried home to her friends. Unfortunately, there were no peers on the street where she lived, so she had to play with younger children. They called her Peggy-Paisley, not even suspecting that it was a separate first and last name, because that's what their parents called her, trying to heed her sense of responsibility for the younger ones. The girl took a row of kids to the nearest park, counted them over their heads and distributed the roles. Someone became an evil animatronic, someone became a caretaker, and someone (and this was the saddest role) remained a child in the game, which was controlled by Peggy. Sometimes they played knights and magicians. And then it all ended with Peggy bragging to everyone that she was a real magician. Everyone believed her implicitly. At least out of politeness. She used to toss and turn in bed for a long time at night, imagining how giants would rise from behind the mountains at her behest, how she would braid trees into palaces and turn all frogs into wooden boys.
She loved her playmates, she will miss these kiddys. But she considers her teddy hare to be her best friend. She affectionately calls him His Magnificent Majesty Hare I Hard-of-hearing, or simply Deafy. It has a shabby look. He is a true veteran of all Peggy's games since early childhood. Both his ears were torn off, she sewed him new ears longer than the previous ones. She also sewed a cute red jacket for him, but the toy still looks sullen. Deafy will definitely go to Hogwarts with the girl. And at home with her parents, her other friend will remain – a fat cat, whom she calls nothing but a FatCat.


First Instance of Magic: When Peggy was very young, her family was visited by a distant relative. He had a big and bushy mustache. Peggy was absolutely thrilled! She took the opportunity to touch, stroke and pinch them when her uncle picked her up in his arms. It was the most wonderful mustache she had ever seen. She thought about it a lot. She carefully peered into the faces of her parents and examined her face from all sides in the mirror. Unfortunately, none of the three had moustaches. And then one day it happened: she resorted to the power of her own thought, delight and great desire and, adding a drop of magic, grew a mustache in just one night. They turned out to be fluffy, long and twisted at the ends. Peggy was pleased. The Paisleys were terrified. The girl was taken to the doctors for a long time until the mustache fell off by itself. Peggy is still amused by this photo, in which she is depicted with facial hair.
