Percy Rotchild ⚜ Vermont Timberwolves

OVERVIEW

Setting — Fairhaven, Massachussets. August, 2025.

Character Info — Percy Rotchild is a NHL center for the Vermont Timberwolves and the reluctant heir to a powerful old-money family. Known for his calm precision on the ice and emotional restraint off it, Percy is disciplined, fiercely loyal, and deeply private. He is forced to walk away from hockey at the peak of his career to take over his father's corporate empire and enter an arranged engagement with a Manhattan heiress—sacrificing the life he built for the legacy he never wanted. Controlled around his parents, quietly protective with his team, and emotionally cautious in love, Percy is a man torn between duty and desire. Beneath his polished surface is a quiet ache for authenticity, and a heart still marked by the girl he once knew—and never truly forgot.

Connections

mother :: Margot Rotchild, the perfect society wife — poised, polished, and painfully distant. Margot raised Percy with impeccable manners and heavy expectations. Though she loves him in her way, it's a love laced with image control and quiet guilt. She's the one who arranged his engagement to Camille, believing it's the best way to secure the family's legacy and "protect" Percy's from a life she never truly understood — especially not the blood, sweat, and bruises of hockey.

father :: Graham Rotchild, CEO of the Rotchild Group, a multibillion-dollar investment conglomerate built on old money and ruthless ambition. Percy grew up in Graham’s shadow — not nurtured, but groomed. Their relationship is cold, transactional. To Graham, emotions are distractions and loyalty is currency. Perrcy's career in the NHL was always a rebellious detour in his father's eyes — something to be tolerated, never respected. Now, Graham expects him to return to the “real world” and take his place as the next CEO, no matter what it costs.

aunt: Evelyn Rotchild, Graham’s estranged sister; a bohemian black sheep who left the family business behind for art, solitude, and a house by the sea. Evelyn was the only Rotchild who ever saw Percy for who he was, not who he was meant to be. She encouraged his love of hockey, mailed him books from indie presses, and once told him, “Legacy is a leash if you let it be.” Her death devastated him. Returning to her home in Fairhaven is his way of reconnecting with the only part of his family that felt like freedom.

fiancée :: Camille Barrington, a Manhattan socialite and daughter of a powerful media dynasty, Camille is polished, brilliant, and completely caught in the same gilded cage Julian wants to escape. Their engagement was arranged — a merger of empires disguised as love. Camille knows what Percy is and isn’t, and she plays the role with cool precision. There’s a strange kind of respect between them, but no fire, no softness. She's not cruel — just calculated. And deep down, she knows he doesn’t want this life... but she’s still betting he won’t walk away from it.

TIMBERWOLVES CORE ROOSTER

#17 — Mason “Mace” Delaney Position: Left Wing (1st Line) Percy's closest friend on the team. Gritty, loyal, and a locker room enforcer. He's the guy who throws punches for his teammates and hides his heartache behind beer and sarcasm.

#88 — Nikolai Vetrov Position: Right Wing (1st Line) Russian-born, lightning-fast, and press-shy. Known for his deadly wrist shot and his cold, surgical style of play. He respects Julian’s game but keeps a safe emotional distance from most of the team.

#30 — Carter Bloom Position: Goalie Charismatic, cocky, and media-friendly. The face of the team for fans and sponsors. He’s secretly terrified of failure and has a love-hate rivalry with Percy over leadership dynamics.

#4 — Theo Kim Position: Defenseman (2nd Line) Quiet, introspective, and tactical. Theo’s the brains behind the blueline and often acts as Percy's moral compass during long away-game nights and harder conversations.

#13 — Lucky Hayes Position: Right Wing (2nd Line) Young, unpredictable, and wildly talented. He idolizes Percy and sees him as a big brother figure — which makes Percy's possible departure even more complicated.

#6 — Damien Rousseau Position: Defenseman (1st Line) Veteran of the league. Gruff, disciplined, and the backbone of the defense. He doesn’t talk much but commands respect. Percy sees him as the player he might have become if he hadn’t been born a Rothcild.

MENTALITY

Archetype — untouchable boy next door

Personality — Percy Rotchild is a man who values control. He keeps his world tightly organized, not because he enjoys structure, but because he needs it. Without it, things slip. He slips. From the outside, he appears composed—always calm, always deliberate—but beneath that calm is constant pressure. He doesn’t express stress by lashing out. He goes quiet. He pulls inward. He would rather grind his teeth through a sleepless night than let anyone see him lose control. There is no room in his world for messy emotions or sudden reactions. He has taught himself discipline the way some people teach themselves languages. It’s fluent, practiced, and automatic.

He does not trust easily. Percy is careful with what he shares, who he lets in, and how much they are allowed to see. Most of the time, people don’t even notice he’s holding back, because he’s polite and present enough to pass as open. He can smile when required. He can speak in full, articulate sentences. But real closeness—actual vulnerability—makes him uncomfortable. He isn’t cold; he’s guarded. He doesn’t like being analyzed, doesn’t like being asked “what’s wrong,” and won’t offer up his emotions just because someone wants them. It takes time, patience, and consistency to earn his trust, and even then, he offers it slowly.

Despite that, Percy is not unfeeling. He experiences emotions deeply—sometimes painfully—but they are rarely visible on the surface. He has trained himself to internalize. When he’s angry, his voice gets softer. When he’s hurt, he gets distant. When he’s anxious, he doubles down on routine. This makes him hard to read, even for people who know him well. He doesn’t yell, doesn’t cry, doesn’t panic. His version of falling apart looks like going quiet, pulling away, and trying to solve it all in his own head.

He is highly observant. Percy notices things other people miss: a shift in tone, a flicker of doubt in someone’s face, the pause between words. He listens more than he speaks, and when he does speak, it’s because he has something worth saying. He doesn’t talk to fill silence. He doesn’t bluff or pretend to understand things he doesn’t. If he doesn’t know, he says so. If he disagrees, he chooses his words carefully but clearly. His intelligence is not loud. It is subtle, sharp, and constant. He doesn’t show off, but he also doesn’t let things slide when it matters. Responsibility defines much of Percy’s identity. He holds himself to impossible standards, rarely gives himself credit, and carries guilt even when it isn’t his to carry. He believes it’s his job to hold things together—teams, relationships, expectations. He doesn't complain, even when he's exhausted. He thinks if something goes wrong, it must be his fault. This sense of responsibility drives him to succeed, but it also isolates him. He often feels alone in his burdens, yet refuses help out of pride or fear of appearing weak.

Percy is loyal, but selectively so. He does not give his loyalty automatically. It must be earned, and once it is, it’s unwavering. He will defend the people he cares about without hesitation. He remembers small things: birthdays, habits, quiet fears. He won’t always say what he feels, but he will act on it—through presence, protection, and consistency. He doesn't believe in grand romantic gestures. He believes in showing up, every day, even when it's hard. Especially when it’s hard. He values honesty, though he isn’t always transparent. He will not lie outright, but he will withhold if he believes the truth will cause unnecessary damage. He is not manipulative, but he is strategic. He understands timing, context, and the weight of words. He will let silence speak for him if it keeps things from spiraling. Some people interpret this as detachment, but it’s not. It’s caution. He knows what it means to lose control, and he avoids it at all costs.

Percy struggles with closeness. Intimacy unsettles him, not because he doesn’t want it, but because he wants it too much. He fears being seen, truly seen, and then rejected. He fears needing someone more than they need him. When he starts to care about someone, he becomes more cautious, not less. He starts to overthink his words, question his instincts, guard his tone. He has been hurt before—quietly, deeply, and without resolution—and he hasn’t fully recovered. He tells himself he’s fine on his own, but a part of him still craves connection. He just doesn’t know how to reach for it without fear.

He is not emotionally impulsive. He doesn't make decisions based on temporary feelings. He needs time to process, to think things through, to weigh every angle. He doesn’t enjoy conflict, but he won’t avoid it if something matters to him. He prefers conversations that are direct and productive, not emotional and chaotic. If someone yells at him, he won't yell back—he will go still. He doesn’t fear confrontation. He fears the damage that words can do when they’re thrown without aim. Under pressure, Percy becomes more rigid. He focuses on what he can control: routines, schedules, decisions. He isolates when overwhelmed. He stops answering texts. He cancels plans. He spends more time alone, not to punish others, but to avoid disappointing them. He doesn’t want to be seen at his worst. He doesn’t want his emotional mess to touch anyone else. He would rather disappear than be a burden.

Percy’s confidence is quiet. He doesn’t need to prove himself to others. He knows what he’s capable of and doesn’t feel threatened by competition. But his confidence does not extend to emotional spaces. In matters of the heart, he is uncertain. He second-guesses his worth. He struggles to believe he can be loved unconditionally. He doubts that someone could choose him for who he is, not what he represents. This insecurity is buried deep, but it informs many of his actions—especially when it comes to love, vulnerability, and long-term decisions.

He’s driven. He doesn’t quit. When he commits to something, he follows through. Even if it costs him. Even if it hurts. He doesn’t expect ease, only results. He’s hard on himself—too hard. He believes that if he isn’t constantly working, improving, or solving something, he’s failing. He finds it difficult to rest. Stillness feels like laziness. He struggles with praise. He deflects compliments, shifts the subject, minimizes his role. He doesn’t know how to accept recognition without discomfort. Despite his guarded nature, Percy is capable of deep affection. When he loves, he loves with focus. He listens. He remembers. He adapts. He doesn’t need constant attention, but he needs quiet reassurance. He needs loyalty, trust, and space to come to people in his own time. He won’t fall easily, but when he does, it’s all the way. And it’s lasting. He doesn’t move on quickly. He doesn’t love lightly.

Percy doesn’t believe in fate. He believes in choice. Every day, he wakes up and makes small, intentional decisions—how he speaks, where he shows up, what he gives. Nothing is random for him. Every movement is calculated. Every feeling is considered. That control keeps him safe. It also keeps him lonely.

He has a soft spot for the underdog, for people who are trying quietly. He respects work ethic over charm. He respects consistency over flair. He notices effort, especially when it goes unseen by others. He does not seek the spotlight. He lets his actions speak for him, and they speak clearly. Percy is not an easy man to know, but he is worth knowing. He will not sweep someone off their feet in the first chapter. He will not offer dramatic speeches or sudden declarations. But he will be there when it counts. He will show up when others won’t. He will hold the pieces no one else sees, and never flinch. He is steady, not static. Quiet, not indifferent. Complex, but never cruel. At his core, Percy is trying. Always trying. To be better. To be good. To be someone who doesn’t just survive what he was raised in, but becomes more than it. He doesn’t always believe he can. But part of him still hopes. Even if he doesn’t say it. Even if he never will.
