Character Name: Margaret "Peggy" Carter
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
Canon Point: Agent Carter One Shot
Background/History: here



Personality: One of the important things to note about Peggy is her professionalism. She's dedicated to her job and always puts one hundred percent in no matter what the circumstances are. She has to deal with a lot of prejudice due to her circumstances as a woman serving within the military. Her post is one that many would think would be best performed by a man. Peggy rises above this prejudice and disregard for her abilities with strength, poise and grace, refusing to let anyone think that she isn't capable. For example, when a soldier questions her credibility, she punches him in the jaw without a second thought.

Aside from her cool exterior, Peggy has a temper and can sometimes be jealous. This is shown by her reaction to Steve being kissed by one of the other women who worked at a desk in the unit. After they argue, Peggy says that it doesn't bother her, it clearly does and this is proven a few hours later when Steve shows her the shield he will be using as Captain America. Before, Steve and Howard were unsure of how effective the shield was. Peggy picks up a pistol and fires it at the shield, the bullets bouncing off it.

However, Peggy is also an emphatic person, in tune with her emotions and full of passion. She worries if someone she cares about is in danger and would do anything to help them, even if it meant endangering her own life. Peggy expresses grief when she believes that she has lost Steve when he decided to take down Schmidt; she had developed some feelings for him and knowing that she would never see him again does have an emotional impact upon Peggy. When she met him, Peggy saw something in Steve that no one else did and throughout the time she knew him, she never lost faith and always stood beside him, believing in his goodness and his heroism.

Peggy has seen the horrors of war and has been through a lot in her time. Despite this, she always remains calm and professional in a fight, shooting at the driver in a getaway car without flinching. She helps Steve in another battle alongside other men and does so without question. Peggy is extremely loyal and would always fight with those she counts as friends and comrades. If you gain her respect, then you can pretty much guarantee that she would back you up no matter what the situation was.

She has a very dry wit and enjoys a bit of banter. Her interactions with Howard Stark are an example of that. Peggy isn't without a sense of humour and knows how to have fun if the situation calls for it. She is also very well-presented and suitably dressed: as shown by her wearing full uniform when she's on duty and the red dress when she walks into the bar. Peggy sometimes likes to make an impression; whether it be a professional or personal one.

The Peggy shown in the Agent Carter One Shot is still very much the same Peggy in the Captain America movie but with a few more deeper insights into her personality. She undertakes a mission on her own- one that was supposed to be for five agents- even when it would be a violation of a direct order. It's not the first time Peggy had done that, but she believes in doing the right thing despite what her superiors tell her. Her boss in this instance is sexist and tasked Peggy with decoding messages instead of going out into the field. This displays a kind of rebellious streak, but could also be seen as reckless because of what Peggy faced when she took on the mission. She almost got herself killed in the process. However, no matter how much the odds are stacked against her, Peggy would take a risk in order to achieve whatever it was she had to achieve. In the end, she is rewarded for her bravery when she is offered an opportunity to co-run SHIELD with Howard Stark. He recognises her potential and knows that she was up for the job. This sets Peggy on a new path, one she knows she can do no matter what obstacles lay ahead.

In short, Peggy Carter is a compassionate, loyal and brilliant. Maintaining grace and doing her job with dignity. Someone you can count on in a fight. But not without her flaws.

Abilities/Powers:

Peggy is an excellent marks-woman and is skilled with a firearm. She is trained in combat situations and is a lot more physically fit than other women from her era due to her training. Peggy is also fluent in several languages due to her experience as a spy and can pick up things fairly quickly.

In the one shot it is clear just how skilled Peggy is in hand-to hand combat when she takes down a group of men with reasonable ease. She's resourceful, using what objects or even one of the men she captured to her advantage.

She would also be able to understand military protocol and procedures as well as being able to train someone to learn them. Peggy is intelligent and resourceful, putting all her skills and knowledge to good use when the situation calls for it.

Peggy has no supernatural powers or abilities.

Items/Weapons: Which three items and/or weapons will your character arrive with?

Peggy will arrive with:

- Her sidearm
- Her purse
- Small photo of Steve (pre-serum Steve)

Sample Entry:

voice

[Peggy was not accustomed to waking up in a strange room with five empty beds and her immediate thought was that she had been captured and taken to an enemy camp. She slipped off the bed, checking her pockets only to find something that wasn't there before. Frowning, Peggy took the object out and examined it closely- it was unlike any technology she had even seen. She tapped it a few times before it suddenly sprang to life. On the screen it said 'voice' so Peggy began to speak, hoping that it would activate something else, a clue to where she was.]

Hello? This is Peggy Carter, formerly of the SSR. I have woken up in an unfamiliar location and I need immediate assistance.

[Despite her professional tone, there was an edge of worry in her voice. Peggy couldn't help being concerned. Was this a test orchestrated by her new employer? She wasn't sure.]

I'm in an empty room with five other beds and I am unharmed. No recollection of how I got here either. If you can trace my location through this device, I will keep it switched on for the time being.

Please respond as soon as possible. I await further instructions.


Sample Entry Two:

Note: The following sample is based off elements within Haven and I hope it is acceptable, despite the tweaks I made.

Don't panic. Peggy told herself as she explored the unfamiliar territory, looking for any clue as to where she was. Her plan was to do some reconnaissance before making camp for the night; it was just a matter of finding the perfect spot. Ideally, high up with plenty of cover should she come under attack. At least she had her gun on her. But even that wouldn't last long unless she found some spare ammunition. Peggy knew that she had to find something else to defend herself with or a radio to contact someone within the agency for a rescue.

After some time she came across what looked like an abandoned hospital. A feeling of hope surged in her chest as she crept around the building carefully, looking for an entrance. There mightn't be anyone around but at the very least, there could be medical supplies and food. Even a radio. She had to be careful as well as resourceful, keep her cool like she was trained to do and not be afraid. Peggy had been in worse situations like this and come out on the other side even stronger than before. There were people counting on her back home, and she was about to embark on an incredible opportunity which would show all her doubters just how damn good of an agent Peggy was.

She would never doubt herself nor her abilities in the field or in the office, and Peggy was determined to not let that happen here. Taking a breath, she entered the abandoned building and ventured into the unknown. The real test had just begun.
