PERSONALITY: Percy is a very odd individual, first look at him and you’d think ‘He looks like one of those A honor roll prats’. That would be a very wrong assumption, Percy isn’t A honor roll at all. He tries his hardest just to make a C average. He’s ashamed of it, and tries to hide it lest he be mocked by everyone around him. He studies hard and barely meets the minimum passing grade. But he doesn’t let his poor grades keep him from having fun with his friends.
Percy loves his friends, they’re the only people he knows wouldn’t mock him because of his disorder, but he still keeps it a secret. Just in case. Percy is very possessive of his friends, not trusting anyone who gets near them until they prove themselves to him and not an second before.
Percy looks like a pretty serious guy, and he is; sometimes. He acts like a right goof a lot of the times, especially around his friends. He’ll pull faces behind your back, make pointless arguments, and all while trying to act like he’s more mature and makes better decisions. If he thinks you’re being too stupid or reckless, he will resort to violence to knock some sense into them.
Percy is a vegetarian, he can’t stand the fact that people would eat some poor innocent animal just to eat. You can get plenty of sustenance from plants and whatnot.
The feeling of flying is one of the greatest feelings Percy has ever experienced. The wind soaring through his hair and one of his most yearned for dreams is that he become a pilot and fly his own plane.

BRIEF HISTORY: Percy‘s family is interesting to say the least. His parents were hippies together, obsessed with the sky and it‘s freedom all throughout their youth. They were so fanatical about it they even changed their names to cloud types and did likewise for their firstborn daughter. But as Percy‘s father grew, he also matured. He often got into fights with his wife about growing up, setting a good example for their daughter. To which Strata disagreed with whole heartedly. She disliked the entire idea of conformity and stood firmly against Cirrus‘ suggestions.
Despite their differences, the two conceived another child, one that would prove a difficult birth for Strata. There were many complications, things that took their toll on the woman‘s body. And Shortly after Percy was born, Strata Saunders died because her heart gave out.
Cirrus was heartbroken. Even though the two disagreed about many things and ideas, he still loved her. He almost gave him the name Stratus or even Nimbus, but decided that he wouldn‘t want to be reminded of her each time he looked at his only son.
Growing up, Percy had a nanny that kept him and his sister both on a tightly run schedule, neither of them liked it much but they never got the chance to complain to their father about it since he was never home, always off at work in different countries. It was lonely for Cumulo and Percy, both of whom only had each other to behave as they wished, whenever they tricked themselves away from the Nanny. Soon, Cumulo grew up, went off to some pretentious girl‘s boarding school in New York that their father wanted her to attend. That didn‘t go well for either of the siblings.
Percy wanted his sister there with him always, away from all the strangers at that school. Cumulo just didn‘t want to be stuck there, she had inherited her mother‘s everlasting free spirit. She ran away during Christmas break and ran off to join a traveling band of Ostrich racers. Why ostriches? Who knew, In each of her phone calls, Cumulo never explained why. She just said, I‘m happy Perce, leave it at that.
When it came time for Percy to go off to High School, he fought tooth and nail with his father so that he wouldn‘t go off to some pretentious boarding school. He wouldn‘t let himself be shipped off to some place and go off into an unknown place with so many people he wouldn‘t know.
That‘s when the letter arrived. His father wasn‘t home, as usual, and Percy had gotten the letter before his Nanny had gotten her talons into it. It was a letter from some Boarding School in Ireland. Some school called J. Cricket. Now, normally having seen a boarding school invite him somewhere in another country would have made him tear up the paper and scatter it into the wind. But then something sparked his memory, suring his sister‘s last phone call, she‘d said that her Ostrich Racing troupe was going to be spending some time in Europe, and Ireland was a lot closer to her than Chicago.
Immediately Percy called up his father and demanded to be sent to this school. His father agreed, though somewhat surprised with Percy‘s previous arguments AGAINST boarding schools.
So Percy was sent off to Ireland, where in the past two years he‘s made some friends that will last him lifetimes. His schools a bit weird, but he loves it now that he‘s there, and whenever he can communicate with his sister, even though she seems kind of disappointed in him because he went along to it eagerly, she seems to be enjoying herself.[/blockquote]
