Leave it to Dear Old Dad to make me meet with a psychologist every six months in order to get my trust fund check. He just couldn't accept the fact that I'm the way that I am. There has to be something clinically wrong with me, right? Because I'm not like him and Mom? Are they really that surprised? It's not like I share any genes with either of them. Oh, you didn't know that? Right. I'm adopted. Most people lie and say I look like Dad (with his red hair and blue eyes) or Mom (who's as blonde as they come).
My friends all joke that I was meant to be a party girl when they find out I was born with one minute to spare on New Year's Eve. The last baby of 1988. My "birth mother," as the PC term goes, was some teenager who couldn't take care of me. She met my parents through one of those ads matching up knocked up teens with rich barren couples — how creepy is that. It's like E-Harmony for child trafficking. Oh right, I'm supposed to be happy that I got adopted and loved like I was their own child, I forgot.
So right. Daddy was a big shot Wall Street broker and Mom was an attorney for a big corporation. I don't know exactly when they thought they'd have time for parenting. Of course, a nanny's salary is nothing compared to the money they make. Made.
It's not that I didn't love them. I did. They gave me everything I asked for, but it's not like they did it out of unconditional love. Strings are always attached… Hell, it would probably have been worse if I was not adopted. I think the fact they didn't know my whole pedigree made them forgive me for my shortcomings.
My shortcomings? Well, the fact I didn't want to be a lawyer or a banker or a doctor or whatever. It drove them nuts that I had a high IQ and according to my teachers, had an "astounding potential" that I "simply didn't care about living up to." I can't help it. I just don't care about that kind of thing… grades, ivy league schools. I wanted to have friends and be liked. I admit it. Is it such a terrible thing, to want people to like you? So yeah. I did stuff to be popular. Everyone does. It's not a clinical disorder. If so, put all of America's youth in the freaking insane asylum already. Sure, I drank and did drugs, starting in 9th grade. Everyone did… but most people hid it. If there's one thing I'm not, it's a hypocrite. So right. High school was a blur. I pulled C's, mostly because while I don't care about grades, I also had a silly desire not to spend my summer making up credits. Also, C's meant I passed but there was no way I was going to get into a big league school. I wished sometimes that I had been smarter when I was younger and had thought to fail the IQ test on purpose… that way they wouldn't keep arguing about my potential and how I wasn't fulfilling it. "Potential," Dad would say, "is a dirty word. It means you're not doing what you should be." Well, his idea of what I should be doing and mine were two very different things.
When I turned sixteen, my friends and I saved up for fake IDs — it only took them a couple of weeks allowance to pay for them, but since I was getting less due to my "abysmal grades" it took me a few months. But it was worth it. We got into all the best clubs, and that's when I met them — the party crowd of the celebrities and socialites… My pictures started showing up with all the actors and boy bands I hung out with… Right, it was cool at the time. I know what you're thinking, but I was 16. Cut me a break.
Graduation finally came around — it sucked because I'm a December baby, so I wasn't free yet, you know? Most my friends were going off to Europe and some were moving to Los Angeles and I was stuck at home for another six months. My parents made it clear that if I wasn't going to college, I would get a job. Well, I pretended to. They thought I was working as a receptionist for my friend's mom, but in reality I got my cash by tipping off the paparazzi to where the party crowd would be that night. It got me cash, and it also got me in the papers… something I loved, I admit it. Soon enough I stopped being "an unknown friend" accompanying Nicole or Justin or whoever, and was "New York Socialite Peyton Whitney." It drove my parents crazy. They wouldn't have known except some of their friends apparently read Us and People while at the hair dresser, I guess.
You want to talk about the bomb? I wasn't here for it. My dad had me thrown in rehab after bailing me out for drunk driving the week before. The sad thing, I wasn't the driver… I was covering for someone, someone who couldn't be caught. They paid me for it… I know that it was wrong, but no one got hurt, and they haven't done it since.
So I was in Rehab in Utah of all places… my parents weren't so lucky, if you can call being strip searched and frisked for drugs "lucky." But you know that. That's why we're here. With me nearing my 18th birthday, they were finally getting a divorce… I didn't know all this at the time, but they were in Midtown at a legal firm that specializes in family law — in other words, divorce. I was not even 18, and in a rehab center where I was the only non addict in the joint without a single friend when I heard the news. I know you probably don't believe me, but … well. I did love them. And I felt bad that I probably ruined their marriage by not being the perfect child. It was a dark period. The only bright side was they had to let me out of rehab to go deal with the funeral. I was drunk for it. I admit. A little Schnapps makes most things a bit more bearable. My grandma was drunk, too, I'm pretty sure. And on Valium. I lived with her for the next month and a half until I was legally 18 and could live on my own. Luckily my parents left a decent will. So it turned out I didn't need to work after all… the money's enough to live off of — even if it's doled out in small amounts. I can't bring myself to sell their apartment. I mainly just use it to sleep in… such a waste of prime real estate… even if there's the chance of radiation poisoning.
The last couple of years? Mostly the same. I go to clubs. I go to parties. Sometimes, if someone else pays, I head out to Hollywood for a premiere. No real relationships, nothing that's more than a tryst, but I'm not even 21 yet. I don't think I'm really the settling down type anyway. Marriage and children are kind of up there with school and grades for me, you know?
Sure, it's been rough. I won't lie, but you know, it's been rough for everyone. I'm not special, not in that way at least. Everyone's life has sucked since the bomb. People are living in fear — whether they're Evolved and afraid of being found out, or whether they're not Evolved, and afraid some guy with laser eyeballs is going to slay them in their sleep. It's a scary world. Partying helps me forget about it for a while. I don't care about the Evolved — live and let live, you know? Treat them the same way the rest of us get treated — leave them alone unless they cause a problem. Then put them in jail if they do something illegal. The Linderman Act is bullshit, but at least it doesn't affect me.
Hour's up already? Did you get everything required for the paperwork? Convinced I'm not a deranged sociopath and all that, and no need for Rorschach tests? Hopefully you'll leave better notes for the next shrink. It gets tiring giving my entire history every time I come in.
Psychologist's Notes:
At heart, Peyton Whitney is not the carefree and capricious persona that she presents to the world. She carries quite a lot of guilt for her parents' death — her subconscious logic being that if she hadn't caused so many problems, they wouldn't have been at the divorce lawyers in Midtown when the bomb went off. Her use of drugs and alcohol started simply as a way to fit in but now is most likely a way for her to dull the guilt and to convince herself she is having a good time, though in truth, she is not.
Deep down, PW knows that her life of parties, alcohol and drugs is a bleak and empty one; she knows the people she calls friends are only in for a good time, and if she ever needs them in a rough patch, they won't be there. With her trust fund and her parents' home now in her possession, she doesn't feel the need to pursue a career, but there is a feeling of uselessness that has begun to set in. My suggestions to the patient are to find something she excels at and pursue it. As she doesn't need the money, this could be volunteer work or something that pays very little but gives a great amount of satisfaction. Unfortunately, I find it unlikely that PW will follow my advice. ~Dr. Margie Anderson
Note: While Peyton Registered (August 22, 2009), she downplayed her ability, suggesting that she has not have any control and that when her ability becomes active, she gets disjointed images that she does not understand. She is trying to keep people from knowing just what she can do, becoming more aware that her power might be useful (thanks to Niki!).
Clairvoyance. Peyton is only newly aware of this ability (July 30, 2009) and is learning to control it. She has the ability to literally see through another's eyes. This power is limited to real time; she cannot see the future or the past. She needs to either know or have seen the person whose perspective she is sharing (though she did see through the site of Garrison, the gunman, without knowing him in Faith And Despondency when her power was out of her own control).
If she has seen someone from another's perspective while using her power, she will then be able to see from that person's perspective, as it would be similar to having seen them personally herself. As long as she sees a target long enough to be able to picture them clearly in her head, Peyton can make the connection and use her power (as long as other factors are in alignment).
The duration of time she can hold the vision depends on various factors, such as how tired she is or if she's already got a headache from using her power earlier in the same day. The vision may simply "slip out of focus" for her, returning her to her own surroundings so to speak. She will also suffer headaches after exerting her power, until she manages to build up some stamina so to speak.
The drawbacks to her power are that her pupils dilate and un-focus so it's clear to someone who knows her power when she is using it; to someone who doesn't know her power, she will look stoned or perhaps as if she's in a disassociative state. She can hear her own surroundings, and not those of the target. She is able to respond to anyone talking to her in her own physical location.
As for her "hosts," most will not notice her sharing their perspective unless they have an Evolved power that enables them to do so (perhaps a Telepath would, if the Telepath had the power to recognize when someone is in their head so to speak). If the target is not consciously focusing on an object that Peyton "forces" her focus on, they will not become any more conscious of that object. The hosts' vision problems do not affect Peyton's ability to see — it is more as if her eyes are "behind" the targets' eyes and that they can each see from the same window. However, if Peyton's vision is compromised, she will see only as clearly as she can her own reality and surroundings.

Logs

Rich and somewhat famous socialite Peyton Whitney is used to being in the spotlight — but suddenly she finds the attention is on her for something other than wearing designer clothes and being on the arm of celebrities. When her power manifests, she finds herself in an unfamiliar world, where she is hated and feared simply because of a fluke of genetics. She begins another evolution of a different kind as she decides to be an activist rather than a victim. |

Memorable Quotes:
- "God, she's such a touch slut." — About Wendy.
- "If you need someone to explain what your package is for, you have bigger problems than I thought." — To Aaron, after he asked Wendy what a package (a Refrain vial) is for.
- "God, I've never wanted a screwdriver without vodka in it so much in my entire fucking life." — to fellow kidnap victim Wendy, while trying to unscrew an air conditioner with slivers of metal found in Wendy's high heels.
Trivia and Notes:
- Peyton has often seen in the NYC social pages as she is often on the arm of various celebrities. Once in a while, she has even made it into national gossip publications, like US Weekly or People. She is a kind of faux celebrity. These days, any articles or photographs will most likely mention how she was a kidnap victim of Humanis First and how she has dropped out of the social scene due to her ability. So far no one in the media seems truly clear on what her ability is, aside from "Clairvoyance" or "visions."
- Peyton gets two payments of $50,000 each a year from her trust fund, but her parents' townhouse is paid off and rent-free. Damn those property taxes though!
Relationships:
These are the people she considers friends and/or allies (at least most of the time).
 |
She met this strange but fun girl at a Rapture and quickly hit it off. They have lots in common — money, alcohol, and drugs. What's not to like? Trouble seems to follow this pair — from cat fights to Peyton's manifestation, life's never boring when these two are together. |
 |
They definitely started off on the wrong foot or even leg — but they seem to have bonded over a series of unfortunate events and the fact that they can make each other feel better due to Peyton's hidden misery and Aaron's special ability. Aaron is now her very unlikely roommate. |
 |
Gillian and Peyton worked together to try and see Cassidy O'Shea while the police woman was kidnapped; they have now formed a friendship, especially since Peyton has an extra bed and a roommate who takes away Gillian's woes. |
 |
Her biological mother that she's recently met, Peyton already looks up to this strong woman. Hopefully their rapport will grow stronger, but it's just nice to have a family again. |
 |
Who doesn't need some salon therapy once in a while? And Raquelle is the best of the best. Peyton visited the Cambria Salon and Day Spa for some much needed attention to her hair and nails, and found an unexpected friend in the owner. |
 |
Peyton traded swear words with the tall handsome cultist on Staten; a month later they've gone out on a date. She doesn't know much about him yet, but maybe that's why she likes him. |
 |
Nothing like seeing the eyes through a murderer — Peyton's power forced her to see through the eyes of a gunman holding the ER hostage. Brian helped her get to safety — from Aude, the cop who wanted her to register, Adam and his goons, and the danger in the ER. He took her to the Village Renaissance safehouse to help keep her safe. |
 |
Cat is apparently in charge of the safehouse that Brian brought Peyton to. She warned (and scared) Peyton about the dangers of being Evolved. Peyton feels bad that she left without saying goodbye, but she wasn't ready to accept what Cat told her as true — unfortunately, she found out at least some of what Cat said was true. The woman has helped her fight the Nightmare man and offers sometimes un-solicited advice. |
 |
Peyton went to Dr. Brennan when she had troubles with her power. She likes the doctor, despite the fact Aaron most definitely doesn't. If she has a medical woe, she's going to go to him rather than the hospital, unless she has to. |
 |
After Harlow demanded Peyton help her find someone to help her daughter, Eileen contacted Peyton to offer her assistance. |
People looking to seriously bring Peyton down — or that just plain scare her.
 |
Why did this guy chase her and try to shoot up the supply closet she was hiding in? Peyton's afraid of this man and his goons. |
 |
All Peyton knows is this guy was talking to the man in the ER holding people hostage. She saw him make motions with his fingers and later, the gunman shot himself. She has guesses, but they seem too horrific to be possible. She's since seen him at Ferry functions, but kept a wide berth from him. |
 |
The cop who was going to take her to get Registered. Peyton's undecided right now on the Registry, but as long as she's on the lam, she doesn't want to run into this officer. |
 |
This guy seems like the life of the party (if you like loud, obnoxious parties with middle-aged men!) but ordered the cab that would bring Peyton and Wendy to their own personal hell. Humanis First. — Deceased. Ding Dong, Bill Dean is Dead! |
 |
The man who kidnapped her friends and is affiliated with Humanis First got away from the Ferry when they failed to put him down after a "trial" — a trial that Peyton testified at. Danko promised to seek those who spoke against him and murder him - now he's free and she's afraid he'll do just that. |
 |
Apparently the man to do the dirty work in the kidnapping; his face, his voice, and the feel of his gun against her skin will haunt Peyton for some time to come. |
 |
Nothing brings the romantic mood down like having a gun pointed at you while on a date. Harlow has seemingly changed sides due to the fact her daughter is an Evolved, but Peyton is afraid of this cold Amazon who was once a member of HF. |
The people Peyton has cast her stone with, for better or for worse.
 |
There's something about Cardinal that she trusts. She's agreed to try to do her best to help him and do some good with her power. He recruited her help in saving "more lives than the bastards can grind down… and take down the sonuvabitch that's got this city's throat in his grip." He's since gone and died and now returned, and Peyton finds herself in just a bit of awe of this "real-life Hero." |
 |
Peyton only met this woman once or twice before Cardinal "died" but has gotten to know her a bit better as their leader. She trusts her and respects her. |
 |
Peyton didn't know this young woman well before Claire took a bullet to the head and forgot her, but she's likable enough, and in Cardinal's and Liz's trust, so that's good enough for Peyton. |
 |
These two have a rocky relationship, since Mack got kidnapped while in Peyton's presence, then turned around and forgave his kidnapper. Stockholm Syndrome, anyone? Just because the kidnapper was his fiancee before the bomb doesn' excuse her actions in Peyton's eyes! The two have begun to repair their friendship after the fight. |
 |
Bones was there when Peyton and Mack got attacked by Giselle and cut Peyton a break when she asked him not to look into the library until someone in charge got back. He's since decided to join the cause. These two don't get along that well, but have a tentative truce. |
 |
Unaware that she is a member of their merry band, Peyton has met Abby a few times and likes the woman, despite the fact that she's the owner of the bar that Peyton got kidnapped from, and the fact that the woman is on speaking terms with Adam Monroe. |
 |
Peyton has only met this elusive member of Endgame once. |
   |
While Peyton first met this blonde as "Gina," it was Niki who came to ask Peyton for her help in taking down the people who have hurt Niki in the past. She isn't sure where the woman with three personalities has disappeared to. |
Peyton is not sure what she thinks about these people just yet.
 |
Peter approached her outside of the Village Renaissance Building. She's both frightened of and sympathetic for this dangerous man. |

Of all the times she's used her power, this one gives her a bit of a pang of conscience, since one friend is asking her to "eye-jack" another friend. All Peyton knows is it has something to do with a teen named Liette. 3/13/10 |
