In 1956, Peter was abandoned by Arthur because he wasn’t developing into anything new, and Arthur had no use for him. The boy tries very hard to not let this get him down, but occasionally he’ll wind up crying for (what he claims to be) no reason.

His fort is now completely isolated and abandoned. He does his very best not to go back to the fort, and will make up excuses to stay on the mainland. Anything to avoid the aching feeling he gets in his chest when he’s on Roughs by himself.

Despite all of this, he’s a very cheerful boy and will try to look at the good side of things as much as possible. Peter detests his war fort, and tries to avoid it as much as possible. He’ll also avoid talking about it as much as possible - he’s afraid of thinking of change. And he’s afraid of abandonment. But, other then that, he’s a normal, five year old boy who loves rabbits and causing mischief. 

He tends to ‘adopt’ people into his family as mothers, fathers, brothers and even grandparents, but all he really wants is a stable family - one mother, one father. All he wants is for a family to live on his fort with. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t love all the people he’s adopted into his family, but he does wish for a bit of a more stable lifestyle.

Peter Kirkland has the physical age of about five or six years old - lately, he’s been saying five, but other times he says six. He represents Fort Roughs, which was a British War Fort (now abandoned) for World War Two. Recently, he was abandoned by Arthur, and he trusts a bit less then he used to. Despite, or perhaps because of this abandonment, Peter tends to strive to be in top conditions at all times. He cries often, because he doesn’t understand how to deal with his problems.

Peter adores cuddling and tends to try and get as much attention as possible. Often, he’ll come asking to be picked up or for stories, or on the rare occasion, for nap-time. He loves other people, and will often adopt others into his family as he goes along with meeting more and more people. He’s terrified of being alone, so he tries to form ‘family bonds’ with other nations.

He’s still fiercely loyal to England. That will change, in due time.

About Peter’s stuffed bunny

Peter has a stuffed rabbit, whom he calls Mister Buns. It is a tattered, very old stuffed animal, and was given to him by England when he was a baby. It’s practically his security blanket.

The bunny was actually America’s old toy that England had sewed for him when the former was merely a colony—why and how England had this, no one knows.

Peter adores his rabbit and takes it everywhere. It’s one of his precious treasures, and the only one from Arthur himself.

In addition to all this, Peter now has a rabbit, named Lovi. She was given to him for Christmas by his Uncle Netherlands. He adores this bunny and she means the world to him.
