However, she does know when to be serious and is often direct and logical when it come to making decisions, usually making them based on the greater good for the greatest number of people involved. It might sometimes make her seem unfair to some, but she prefers to think of it as being realistic. She cares very deeply for her people, and generally acts in the best interests of the Malkuth Empire as a whole. Generally, that is, until she feels her sovereign duty the Empire is suffocating her.

She a bit of an escapist, not only in the sense that she is a free spirit that doesn't enjoy being shackled by responsibility, but also that she has grown quite proficient at sneaking out of the palace. Her ideal life would be to travel the world and be free to do as she wished, something that is neigh impossible for someone in her social position. Still, she generally does as she pleases, sometimes resorting to throwing around her position as crown princess to get her way. Despite this, she doesn't take to the title of "princess" too kindly, and prefers to be referred to simply as "her imperial majesty" or "her highness", saying the title of "princess" makes it seem like she needs someone to rescue her.

She is also a bit eccentric, known for a fondness of rappigs (common swine animals with very long ears), designing and sewing costumes for her friends, and for collecting weaponry. She's known to be a bit childish, refusing the "grow up" even at her age. Peony can also be very messy, never having really grasped the concept of "tidying up after yourself".

"Hussy" would also describe her quite nicely to some extent. While not necessarily as promiscuous as some might think, she does know how to let loose and enjoy herself. She might come off as a pervert, but to her it's all in good (questionably clean) fun.

After the Professor's untimely death, Peony was left behind in Keterburg, her friends (Aslan Frings, Jade Curtiss, and Saphir Neis) had all become involved in the military, and as the emperor's youngest child, Peony had little to do but hang around the manor. That more or less changed when her siblings all fell ill, most of them dying. Her eldest brother, Franz, was the only one to survive and he called Peony to the castle in Grand Chokmah upon his coronation as emperor when she was 19. Franz was weakened by the illness that spread throughout the royal family and remained very frail after recovering.

After she came of age the next year, Peony became the crown princess and next in line to take the throne. Shortly afterward, the Malkuth Empire was swallowed by war, eventually losing what would come known as the Hod War (after the island where the war took place). She served as a diplomatic emissary to the Kimlascan Kingdom and helped to smooth over relations between the two nations after the war was over. She strong armed her brother into turning the Third Division of the Malkuth Imperial Forces (headed by her best friend, Colonel Jade Curtiss) into her own personal guard for political missions. She considers Jade to be a brother of sorts, and she is rarely seen without him acting as her personal bodyguard on her frequent trips through Auldrant.
