i love Peril so much i love her more than literally anything, she means so much to me as a character.
this is just one reason, but, as a person w bpd, Peril is SO bpd coded. i haven’t gotten to her book yet, but even from the first few scenes i saw her in it was so clear to me!!! the abuse queen scarlet puts her through and the trauma she goes through as a newborn dragonet, believing she is inherently a monster, everyone seeing Peril as dangerous and a threat even though her circumstances and upbringing aren’t her fault, her attatchment to Clay and how she views other dragons that are close to him, her not knowing exactly the right way to interact w other dragons due to the affects of how Scarlet treated her—i could go on, and probably will in another post when i get to her book. There is a lot of amazing representation in WOF regarding the effects of trauma, specifically traumatic childhoods, but Peril stands out to me so much. i’ve read a snippet of her book already (but there’s a lot in the scenes in ‘the dragonet prophecy’ and ‘the brightest night’ too!!) and even the way Tui writes Peril’s internal dialogue is just so accurate to my own experience w bpd. when i get to her book i know i’ll have so much more evidence and a TON more to say, but i just wanted to get this out bc i can’t stop thinking about her.
anyway, Peril i love you soooooooo much <33
