Peyton has feminine, delicate features. Dark red, curly hair that’s clipped away from their face but otherwise falls freely. Matching colored slightly slanted eyes. Narrow face, thin nose and lips. Not super pale but not exactly tan either. Wears leather armor under loose flowy clothes to blend into civilian crowds
Their mother (human) passed away when they were too young to remember, father (elf) abandoned them for unknown reasons when they were around five years old. Someone from the Order approached them and was like “hey you look like you have nothing to live for” and they’ve been with the Order ever since, never really felt a need to leave. They had a purpose and that was enough for then (until they saw Sai - obsession at first sight). They’ve spent most of their time as a scout (and occasionally assassin).
After helping Sai with the whole Ashen Beast debacle they eventually followed him for a while and helped defeating the Order. When Sai went back home they instead went with Eithne (one of the mercenary that helped Sai) and as far as the W.A.R.D.S. are aware they are still traveling with her. Sai occasionally gets a letter or two.
