Peyton Brush

Peyton Brush is a minor character in ''How to Survive High School. ''She is one of the artsy nonconformists, and is usually seen hanging out with Mahl Stik and Tempera Uhcrylycs.

Personality
Peyton is a nonconformist who likes to go against what she deems as "society." She is always desperate to come off as different to other people and, in some ways, is a bit of an attention whore. She loves art, especially painting, sculpting, and painting sculptures.

Appearance
Like Mahl and Tempera, Peyton's appearance is quite strange. She has messy hair and brown eyes, and wears extremely thick purple eyeliner. Her natural hair color, judging by the roots and eyebrows, appears to be brown, but she dyes it a mess of rainbow colors like blue, pink, purple, and yellow. She wears a cropped pink striped blouse with puffy sleeves that exposes her shoulders and midsection. Sometimes she wears a long, flowing Arabic skirt with many different patterns; other times, her bottom consists of a pair of loose, baggy parachute pants with tie-dye colors on them. Regardless, she is always barefoot.

Book 1: The New Kid
Peyton is first mentioned in Kendall's notebook as one of the artsy Bohemians. She later appears with Mahl and Tempera trying to show off her work, although none of it is particularly good. When Rosalia comes to rally the Bohemians to protest the construction of the new football field, Peyton professes to help by painting a picture symbolizing the greed of construction companies. When asked if she is actually going to do something about it besides paint and write, Peyton is silent. She appears once again at the end of the book, painting an image of Leo titled "The Pervert Disgraced."

Trivia

 * Peyton's name, like the other Bohemians', is a pun. Peyton Brush sounds like paintbrush.
 * She is the most pleasant Bohemian, as she is actually a decent (though not good) artist and the least angsty and arrogant of the three.
