Peony Rowswatter, the Pink Drewman
Rank: A- (Major Character)
Powerhouse with a Pixie Cut
Peony’s short, cute, and pink, but she’s actually a fair bit older than most of the others. She’s elegant and poised; graceful and intelligent. Her bubbly, kindergarten teacher-esque personality lends to some occasionally bossy and vaguely patronizing traits, but it’s better to have her on your side than to face her fury.
Of course, Peony is by no means above screwing around like everyone else. She can be obscenely stubborn and confrontational, and as smart and rational as she is, she’s emotional and, more importantly, vindictive.
Peony’s last name is phonetically identical to “rose water”.
Peony, originally Rosie, is the character who changed the most from Rough Sketch. Physically, she was a few inches taller by the end of it, was a darker, more intense shade of pink, had freckles and a gap between her teeth, had messier hair, and had rounded, more protruding eyes. Personality-wise, she was far more snarky, uptight, outwardly aggressive, and generally exasperated.
Peony also has the most drastic difference between human and Drewman form, due to how stylized her hairstyle is.
Peony/Rosie was originally designed as Rudy’s twin sister, J. ultimately filling a similar niche. Distancing the two from this is why she was redesigned so radically compared to the others.
Peony is the oldest member of ICT introduced in Season One, at thirty.
Peony doesn’t look visibly older than anyone else in ICT, but her human form has very faint wrinkles under her eyes and the series proper adds more facial lines to her expressions than most other characters.
Peony’s normally Ms. Mature, but she’s just as touchy about her height as Rudy and Chloe. She just stands en pointe when not walking to make it less obvious.
