Peacock took up smoking after her transformation. They are imaginary cigars that are created in a similar manner to her other summons, and don't seem to have the same negative side effects as normal ones. Peacock will never stop believing in imaginary friends. Peacock's favorite television program is "Annie: Girl of the Stars".

Nothing sates Peacock's boredom more than a good cartoon and fighting. Brash, combative, and impatient, Peacock is easily the most outspoken member of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs. Peacock is also, for the most part, optimistic and light-hearted, and considers imminent threats more of invitations to brawl. Her tendency toward violence is a reflection of both her trauma and near-death experience as well as the cartoons she cherishes.

While it has been stated she has a damaged psyche, Peacock does not attack people out of sheer randomness or without provocation. Although she often acts confrontational to fellow ASG Lab 8 members, Peacock still very much considers them family, and will go to great lengths to protect them from harm. Dr. Avian was particularly close to Peacock, and his death sent her into an outrage to search for his murderer. She also gets along well with other Annie fans as shown by her interactions with Aileen in Annie's story.

None, however, are closer to Peacock than Marie Korbel, her one true friend from her past in No Man's Land and the Skullgirl she is tasked to destroy. In Marie's story, Peacock went out of her way to save Marie from the Skull Heart, showing just how much she cares about her.

Name: Her true name is Patricia Watson, while she herself came up with Peacock. The word "peacock" is the more commonly known name of the peafowl, but is actually the term for the male bird.

The name Patricia is derived from the Latin word "patrician" and means "noble", which could be seen as ironic given her violent and choatic personality. Watson is a patronymic surname meaning "son of Walter". It should be noted that Walter means "ruler of the army", which accurately describes her relationship with her gang.

Being once close friends, Marie continues to address her as Patricia. Her gang typically refer to her as "boss".

Design: Her natural eye color used to be green before they were gouged out by slave traders. The Argus System is Peacock's only means of sight, as the ones on her face are actually empty eye-sockets. The holes left are also a visual pun: Due to her design being based on American cartoons, her eye-sockets could easily be interpreted as though they are natural eyes; drawn in the style of a 1930's cartoon character. The joke is how similar styles of drawing can offer different perceptions on how something looks. Her references are similar to the 30's such as Mickey Mouse.

Her outfit consists of a tall top hat and a dress with frills and a large red bow, both her hat and dress are a matching shade of purple. Her mechanical hands are covered with large gloves, a classic trait of old cartoon characters. She also has sharp metallic teeth that she uses as a bear trap, which she is speculated to use metal polish to clean instead of regular toothpaste. On her legs, Peacock wears a pair of knee-high boots of a somewhat darker shade of purple then her dress and hat that have secret boosters to propel herself forward, and white bloomers that cover the rest of her legs.

Her cartoon revolver bears resemblance to the Smith & Wesson Model 29, a .44 Magnum revolver made famous by Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry.
