Description / Characteristics of this Role:

Peggy Carter is a highly skilled and determined British intelligence officer who plays a critical role in the formation of the Allied war efforts. As a key member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), she is a fierce fighter, tactician, and leader. Peggy is smart, resourceful, and incredibly capable, with a strong sense of duty. She’s not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, even when it means defying authority or breaking the rules. While she’s highly professional, Peggy’s relationship with Steve Rogers shows her compassionate and vulnerable side. She has a quiet but deep affection for him, even though she often struggles with the fact that she’s a woman in a male-dominated field.

Peggy is strong-willed, confident, and a natural leader. She has a sharp mind and a no-nonsense approach to her work. Though she’s often stoic, she possesses a dry wit and a sharp tongue when needed. She’s deeply principled and passionate about doing what’s right, regardless of the challenges she faces as a woman in a wartime setting. Peggy has a strong sense of loyalty, particularly to Steve Rogers, with whom she shares a deep, unspoken bond. As someone who frequently fights in a man's world, she is fiercely independent and determined to prove herself.

• Steve Rogers (Captain America) – Steve is Peggy’s main emotional connection. Though they have a romantic attraction, their relationship is complicated by the war, their roles, and the challenges of being separated. Peggy sees Steve as not just a hero, but someone she deeply admires and respects.
• Howard Stark – Peggy works closely with Howard on various missions, though their dynamic is one of mutual respect and professionalism. Peggy doesn't put up with Howard's antics, and he admires her no-nonsense attitude.
• The SSR Team – Peggy is highly respected by her colleagues in the SSR. While her relationship with them is professional, she has a sense of camaraderie with them, even though she’s sometimes treated as an outsider due to her gender.
• Nick Fury (later in her story) – Later in her journey, Peggy becomes an important figure in the formation of SHIELD, and her relationship with Nick Fury grows into one of mutual respect.

Peggy begins as a fierce, independent woman who is often underestimated because of her gender. As the story progresses, she proves herself to be a skilled leader and vital player in the Allied war effort. Her arc revolves around balancing her personal and professional life, particularly her unspoken feelings for Steve Rogers, and carving out her place in a world that isn’t always welcoming to women in combat roles. By the end of the story, she becomes one of the most respected figures in the intelligence community, gaining recognition for her contributions.

Peggy’s voice should be confident, poised, and sharp. She has a commanding presence, but her tone can soften when she speaks about Steve or her personal convictions. Her voice reflects her intelligence, determination, and strength, but also conveys the vulnerability that she keeps hidden behind her tough exterior.

• Tone & Delivery: Clear, direct, and authoritative, with a calm and composed quality. Her tone should reflect both confidence and warmth when speaking about important matters, but also a hint of determination and resolve.
• Speech Pattern: Peggy speaks with precision and elegance, often using concise, well-thought-out phrases. She’s direct, rarely beating around the bush, but her speech also shows a deep care for those she’s closest to.
• Emotional Range: While Peggy often maintains a composed exterior, her emotional range can vary from being fiercely protective and passionate about the war effort to expressing subtle but deep feelings for Steve. Her tone can shift from business-like to softer, especially when discussing personal matters.
• Accent: British accent, clear and elegant with a touch of refinement. Her speech should have a formal, yet approachable quality that reflects her background as a high-ranking officer and her place within the SSR.
