IN-CHARACTER INFORMATION


Name: Sweet Pea
Fandom: Sucker Punch
Age: early 20s
Canon Point: End of the movie on the bus after she's fallen asleep
Original Universe or Alternate Universe? OU
Personality:
Sweet Pea is very much a stereotypical big sister. She would risk everything for her younger sister, including putting her own life on the line to protect her. When Rocket gets behind Baby Doll's plan, even though she objects, she still joins in for the sole purpose of keeping her sister and the others safe. By doing this, she also steps into a leadership role, the other girls always seeming to look up to her.

"But I'm only doing this because you guys'll get caught without me.
But if it gets too hairy, if I say it's over -
we stop."



By stepping into the role, she takes on a larger weight of the punishment if and when things go wrong. Blue is more than aware of just how protective she is of her sister and knows how to exploit it. The exploitation and subsequent years in the brothel/insane asylum (depending on the reality) have also made her jaded and closed off. Another reason she'd shut down Baby Doll's plan so quickly. Her primary interest is for her sister, keeping her safe no matter what. Including sacrificing herself to whatever Blue asks of her to keep Rocket safe. Taking on a plan like this would reflect poorly on her if it failed in more ways than one, including possibly putting both her and her sister in very dangerous positions.



A position where Rocket ends up losing her life.

No matter how much she pushes people away, though, she'll always be there to step up if they need it. Especially where Blue is involved... Although, she makes a point to come off cold to everyone, an irony to the nickname. She's the first to step up in an attempt to draw the attention and more than willing to take the brunt of it all if needed - to keep them out of the line of punishment... Including the cleaning closet Blue enjoys locking them in until they become more 'compliant'. With how many years both she and Rocket have been there, and their clear disdain for it, it's safe to say being trapped in small rooms or in the dark would not go over well.

"Don't get too attached to her. Blue's saving her for the high roller."



At one point, Blue catches on to what they're doing and comes in to threaten the girls. While Sweet Pea's able to maintain her composure in front of him, be the emotional rock they can all lean on for support - but the minute he leaves she's ready to call off the plan. It's done out of concern for her sister's safety, knowing what Blue is capable of if he catches them for real. The threat of punishment doesn't keep her away for long... Not when her sister is still involved.

"No, I came to keep you from getting killed...
Now if you're done with the pleasantries, you've got a dance to do.
Amber, radio."



There's an acceptance of the objectification not only with her, but with all of the girls in the brothel reality. They know exactly what Blue expects of them and why they're there. They are the cover for his real business - the drug running, prostitution, and gambling... And Sweet Pea is the star. It gives her a lot of sway when it comes to picking things and calling the shots and it's something she works hard to maintain. Even with the objectification, though, she has her own limits as to how far she's willing to take it in the fantasy world.

"I get the sexy schoolgirl. I even get the helpless mental patient, right, that can be hot. But what's this? Lobotomized vegetable?!"



Part of her leadership role is supported by her ability to stay calm under pressure, shown in both the brothel reality and their fighting reality. She is the most heavily armed to provide the best defense/support as she can, calling the shots when needed. There are very few times where her stoic mask slips, when Blue calls them out on their plan and when Rocket dies. Otherwise, she's able to keep herself together enough to be a solid support for the other girls.

One of the downsides to being the one looking out for everyone else is that there's usually not someone to look out for you. While they all depend on Dr. (Madam) Gorski, they depend far more heavily on each other and Sweet Pea on Rocket. Her sister does for her what she does for the others, both in the real world and the alternate realities. She makes Sweet Pea leave on the train when the bomb explodes shown both in the hallucination and in their brothel reality. Rocket also dies protecting Sweet Pea when the cook tries to stab her. Baby Doll's sacrifice at the end is also the fifth element they'd needed to succeed, a twist from what might have been expected of Sweet Pea considering just how much she'd sacrificed for Rocket.



Something else that fuels her drive to help them is her fear of loss. She'd followed Rocket when she ran away from home, even though her own home situation wasn't as bad. The choice had landed them in the brothel and pushed her into the position of doing everything she could to protect her sister. To be the responsible one and make sure that her sister would be okay. In one of the hallucinations, she and Rocket get separated in the WWI trenches. Rocket screams for her sister while barely keeping herself out of trouble while Sweet Pea yells in response, doing everything she can to reach her.

"I kept you safe through a lot of shit"



While she can come off a bit bossy and controlling, she loves her little sister more than anything. A strong, imposing warrior, she is more than ready to sacrifice herself for the safety of others. Her stoic personality and ability to keep herself emotionally distant help to make her the leader she is.

Is this character immune? Yes

SAMPLES


NETWORK SAMPLE:
[She needs to focus, to get through this so she can survive. So Baby Doll's sacrifice, so Rocket's sacrifice wasn't in vain. Putting on her best performance face, she flips on the feed.]

The name's Sweet Pea... Real interestin' place you got here. I don't want to waste anyone's time so I'll try and keep this short and sweet for you. I need to work. I used to dance at a club. [Technically a brothel, but details.]

I'm pretty good, I was the star of the show. [It's hard to keep the bitterness out of her voice at that.]

I don't mind workin' my way back up to the top, but believe me - you won't be disappointed.

[With a little flip of her blonde hair, she ends the feed, staying true to her word.]
