Author has written 12 stories for Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Legend of Zelda.

Hey! I'm Peg! I am a person who doesn't really know what to write here but hey I'll give it a shot.

Information about me!

I am always addicted to something different (drawing, Professor Layton, writing, Legend of Zelda, writing music, Pokemon, anime (you get the idea, I'm an all round nerd)). I'm British and I enjoy making fun of English stereotypes (sips tea and eats crumpets with the Queen). I am open to criticism as long as it is productive and justified, but you really needn't bother because I criticise my own work all the time. If you ever want to chat, I'm all ears!

Story Updates

Series:

"Our Golden Age": Those of you who have read the author's note of 'Professor Layton and the Hall of Dreams' will know that I have now dubbed the 'The Third Heir' series the 'Our Golden Age' series. This is because I didn't want the whole series just to be associated with the plot of Part One. I chose the new name because it becomes relevant later on, it's nice and generic so it covers various aspects of the story, but mostly because it sounds cool. I am taking a break from this series and should return to it for the summer of 2018, when I will start Part Three 'Green Eyed Monster' (I'm dropping the 'Professor Layton and' part of the title from now on as Hershy isn't the protagonist most of the time).

Stories (unfinished):

"The Fresher's Fresh Start": I'm not gonna lie, this is my least favourite fic I've ever wasted time on. I had no idea how universities work, so I ended up putting Hershel on FOUR separated degree courses at once. Plus the quality was never as good as I wanted. However, I still like the idea, so now as a better informed person and quite frankly a better writer than I was, this story is getting a rewrite! (I'll leave the old version up though, I like comparing my work to older stuff.)

"The Fresher's Fresh Start: Rewritten": Will start soon but know that this story is happening along side school work.

"The Legend of Zelda: Runes of Rest": If I finish my current story before summer 2018, I'll get back to this. It''l be a rewrite of a sort? I'll just edit the 3 chapters I ever posted and start from there. This fic has a terrible name, completely irrelevant to the story, so it will be renamed 'Gates of the Dead'.

Original Characters

Here you can get to know some of my OC's! There isn't many (than you know of) right now but the list will grow! I made the template as I couldn't find one I liked but feel free to use it! These will be updated as more about the characters is revealed.

Full Name: Captain Alyse Johnson (Alyse is an alternative spelling of Alice)

Age: Mid forty's

Physical Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/her

Height: Nearing 6ft

Build: Athletic

Eye Colour: Deep blue

Hair: Short, dusty blonde

Voice/Accent/Dialect: Deep voice. Strong Polish accent, despite not speaking a word of Polish. Her dialect is closest to British chav. Her way or speaking is unique and is partly responsible for why she has always felt so isolated.

Race/Ethnicity: Polish, other mid European countries.

Usual Clothing: Targent Uniform

Occupation: Targent officer

Personality: She has a short temper that explodes violently under pressure. She only shows any respect or calm towards her boss, the mysterious Leader of Targent. Where others might have a heart of gold beneath their exterior, Johnson has only stone, and the charred remains of the hope and spark she had in her youth.

Short Bio: Johnson was born in Poland and was brought to England by her widowed mother at a young age. she grew up in a crime filled city and got involved in a gang at a young age. At the age of 17 her gang tried to intercept a 'business transaction', only to find that it involved the dangerous organisation 'Targent'. The gang was kidnapped and Johnson was given a choice: work of Targent or be left to the firing squad. She has worked there ever since.

Are they LGBTQ?: Fun fact: Johnson is the only OC I have based on people I know in real life. Johnson was inspired by two of my friends, both of which, since I created the character, have come out as FtM trans. Therefore Johnson in turn has the mind of a man, but in the 'Our Golden Age' series the PL universe takes place in a time when homosexuality and being openly trans is only just becoming legal, but not entirely accepted yet, so not only would she be potentially resented for who she is, she also does not have a good enough understanding of what trans is to identify as it, therefore I will refer to her with she/her pronouns, as this is what she calls herself. Please understand that this is a creative decision, and not in any way a reflection of my views on the LGBTQ community, just a realistic representation of the British 1960's, which is when a lot of people head cannon the games to take place in. I myself am LGBTQ (bisexual non-binary) and I love the community to bits xx If you want to refer to Johnson with he/him pronouns you are welcome to do so!

Friends: The Leader.

Family: None, all deceased.

Foes: All and any enemies of Targent

Who's side are they on?: Targent

Fandom: Professor Layton

Appears in: Part Two (The Hall of Dreams) of the 'Our Golden Age' series.

Name: Unknown, only known as 'The Leader' or 'The Boss'

Age: Unknown

Physical Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/him

Height: Unknown

Build: Unknown

Eye Colour: Unknown

Hair: Unknown

Voice/Accent/Dialect: Crackly, old sounding voice. South English accent, 'posh' dialect

Race/Ethnicity: Unknown

Usual Clothing: Unknown

Occupation: Leader and commander of criminal organisation, Targent

Personality: Seems to enjoy playing with the thoughts and feelings of others, especially when it comes to illusions (illusion of choice, dreams vs reality etc). He can get very angry when his plans don't work out. He never leaves his house.

Short Bio: After Azran Legacy, he kept Targent together, rebuilding it for the purpose of 'for-filling their original and greater goal'

Are they LGBTQ?: Never confirmed, feel free to head cannon!

Friends: Captain Johnson

Family: Never revealed

Foes: Professor Layton, Luke Triton, Scotland Yard

When they discovered there were going to be parents, the family (including Henry) decided to sell most of their share of Monte d'Or to Alphonse Dalston, and live off that money for the rest of their lives, traveling around the world and giving the girl as many amazing experiences as possible.

Are they LGBTQ?: Again, never truly confirmed. She is, at some point, suggested to feel attraction to a male, but feel free to head cannon!

Friends: Currently, just Mummy, Not Mummy and Other Not Mummy.

Family: Randall Ascot (father), Angela Ascot (mother), Henry Ledore (nanny and honorary Uncle), Hershel Layton (godfather).
