Things worth knowing about Peach:

This is mentioned briefly in canon, but: she hates being called Peach. She's resigned to it at this point, but she'd really prefer you stuck with Picchu.

Peach is calmer in the bar than she generally is in canon. The one time in canon we see her outside Tom and Carl's house, though (it's in High Wizardry), it turns out she does pretty much know how to behave herself in public. She's only really obnoxious and destructive around family and close friends.

If she does get really obnoxious with you, then, there's a reason for it. Possibilities include: (a) she's in an unusually bad mood; (b) she's in an unusually good mood; (c) she dislikes you; or (d) she likes you enough to consider you in the "family and close friends" category. The fun part is, you don't know which.

When she speaks in tongues, she's usually quoting from the Homeric Hymns. She's entirely capable of speaking any language she pleases, but ancient Greece has a special place in her heart (after all, canon specifies that she had two avatars there - both Athena and Prometheus). The other languages she's most likely to use are Hebrew (because Jewish/Christian/Muslim angelology says Michael is the patron of Israel, so she probably spent a lot of time there) and Japanese (because Peach thinks Takeshi's Castle is the greatest thing in the history of television).

She knows a lot more than she lets on about pretty much everything. However, when it comes to prophecies, she usually genuinely can't be any more specific. She can predict things like tomorrow's weather report with great accuracy, when she feels like it, but the details of human lives are trickier.

She is subject to all the physical limitations of a normal scarlet macaw, except when she's not. For instance, she can get into Nita's room despite not having a key or any way to easily use one. Neither Nita nor I know how she does this, but Peach insisted it wouldn't be a problem...

She has been deliberately staying away from the god/angel/demon contigent of the bar (although OOCly it's just because I haven't had a chance to introduce her to them yet). This is mostly because she thinks that if one of them recognizes her for what she really is it might draw unnecessary attention to Nita, and it would complicate Peach's life if a demon started stalking her roommate. She knows she can only avoid them for so long, though, so eventually she'll give it up.

She will react strongly to meeting any version of Lucifer, though she might not show it, and even more strongly to meeting any redeemed or unfallen version of him. She misses her baby brother. (For those not familiar with Peach's canon, she describes its closest equivalent to Lucifer as her brother.)

She's likely to take a shine to warriors, tricksters, and especially people who are both - think of her fondness for Odysseus, back in the day.

Peach is literally not afraid of anything. Sometimes there are possible outcomes she'd prefer to avoid, sometimes she's concerned for others, but she never truly feels fear; in her home universe she's possibly the only being in Creation who was never designed to do so.
