Bio:
"Percy is a rather cheeky but kind engine. He usually behaves well, yet he also gets himself in trouble by jumping into situations without adequately thinking about them first. He loves teasing other engines, especially bigger ones such as Gordon and James, but is always brought down to earth in due course by anyone who gives him the moral to learn, especially the Fat Controller. He can also be somewhat timid and can also be questionable and naïve to certain difficult words.

Percy is incredibly accident-prone and has many accidents, sometimes due to his own silliness or tricks backfiring.  From crashing into some buffers, falling into the sea, and being pushed onto a brake van, colliding with a cart of lime, and being hit by a falling crate of treacle. However, his silliest accident to date was when he slipped on oily rails, crashed through the chocolate factory, and emerged covered in chocolate.

Percy can also be seen as an easy target for teasing by the big engines, especially whenever he has an accident or is afraid of something. But when nonsense goes too far, Percy will not stand for it and seek help to settle the matter for good, even if he faces a reprimanding from the Fat Controller for it.

Despite the mishaps he may face, Percy is always willing to do his best and learn from his mistakes to get the job done, a loyalty which the Fat Controller has praised him for on many occasions."
