Tetrachloroethylene

Tetrachloroethylene (Teodora Eccleston) owns a dry cleaning business and works for both humans and Chemicals.

Her friends and customers call her Perc because Tetrachloroethylene is too long to say. Her father is living in India and it has been a long time since she saw him. She witnessed her Chlorocarbon friends losing their jobs or getting killed by humans, Tetrachloroethylene thinks she would be next and this upsets her. She is the richest Organochloride after Vinyl Chloride.

History
Tetrachloroethylene was first appeared in the early 19th century. Her early life is unknown, but it is thought that she spent her early life with Carbon Tetrachloride who introduced her to dry-cleaning later in the 20th century.

Personality
Perc is a very sweet and tolerant person. She likes talking with other Chemicals and her human customers.

Tetrachloroethylene accepts all customers, rarely asking questions about garments and stains. She is liked by most, if not all customers. Some people do not like her dominating the dry cleaning and claim that her work is hazardous.

Appearance
Tetrachloroethylene has dark blue hair, pale light skin and dark red coloured eyes that are typical of Chlorocarbons. Her hair is curled at the ends. Perc has a soft make-up to make her face look more "alive and humanly". She is often seen either wearing her Chemical uniform or a dress resembling the human fashions of the mid-20th century.

Her uniform consists of a long dark blue coat with short sleeves, a light blue cotton shirt with long sleeves, black cotton trousers and black leather boots. Her name tags reads "Tetrachloroethylene".

Shop
Perc has a very large dry-cleaning shop which is thought to be owned by Carbon Tetrachloride previously. She is almost always inside her shop and working. The shop is portrayed differently in various artworks depicting Tetrachloroethylene and Carbon Tetrachloride. Artworks of Carbon Tet's era of ownership show it from outside as a very small shop with turquoise painted walls, with a large window, a wooden door and a sign saying "Nettoyage a Sec". The shop's interior walls were painted at least three times after the acquisition by Trichloroethylene and Tetrachloroethylene.
