Percival Lawrence is a young female golfer from the British branch of Camelot Academy in the series Rising Impact, known for her extraordinary driving distance and her close connection to Gawain Nanaumi.
Percival is introduced as one of the British representatives in the Camelot Cup.
Despite her small stature, she is a power-focused golfer who aims to become the greatest long hitter in the world.
Originally planned as a confident boy, Percival was later redefined as a girl.
This gender change was reflected in the collected volumes, where her first appearance scene was revised.
She builds important relationships with characters like Gawain Nanaumi and Yumiko Koizumi.
Her story mixes prodigious talent, intense rivalry, and emotional turning points on and off the course.
Name: Percival Lawrence
Gender: Female
Affiliation: Camelot Academy, British School
Age: 10 years old
Birthday: October 1
Blood Type: B
Height: 128 cm
Percival is a small but proud and fiery competitor.
She is straightforward, confident in her power, and strongly driven by her ambition to be the best long hitter in the world.
Although she initially comes across as strong-willed and a bit headstrong, she is also emotionally sincere.
She gradually becomes an understanding and important companion to Gawain Nanaumi.
Her relationships with others show that beneath her bravado is a girl who deeply values her friends.
The accident involving Gawain’s injury becomes a key moment that reveals her guilt, vulnerability, and emotional growth.
Percival appears as one of the British representatives in the Camelot Cup.
She represents the British branch of Camelot Academy and participates in both team and individual competitions.
In the team competition, she pairs up with Tristan Liones.
In the individual competition, she plays rounds alongside Gawain Nanaumi and Charles Livingston.
During these matches she demonstrates both her overwhelming power and her lack of full control.
This mix of brilliance and danger becomes central to several dramatic scenes on the course.
After the Camelot Cup, Percival attracts the attention of other organizations and figures in the golf world.
Her later status as a pro golfer shows that her childhood dream of being a top driver did not fade but matured into a career.
Percival is a pure power golfer with a unique, almost outrageous style.
Despite being only 128 cm tall, she handles an extremely long 60-inch driver with confidence.
She surpasses even the 55-inch “super long” drivers used by elite players like Kai Todoin.
Her swing is described as a one-and-a-half rotation swing, generating incredible clubhead speed and impact.
This wild rotation and long club allow her to completely overpower players such as Gawain Nanaumi in terms of raw driving distance.
Her stated goal is to become the number one long hitter in the world, and her play style reflects this obsession with distance.
Her average performance metrics are exceptional for her age:
She has an average driver distance of about 400 yards.
Her average number of putts is 1.9 per hole, indicating surprisingly solid touch on the greens.
Her best score is 5 under par, showing that she can convert her power into low scores when her game comes together.
Percival becomes one of the people who best understands Gawain Nanaumi.
Their relationship grows as they share rounds, experiences, and emotional moments during the Camelot Cup.
On the course, her monstrous drives at first overwhelm Gawain.
However, this competitive pressure also pushes Gawain to grow and refine his own game.
During an individual round with Gawain and Charles Livingston, Percival loses control of one of her shots.
The ball ricochets and flies back toward her, putting her in danger.
At the last moment, Gawain jumps in to protect her.
He takes the impact himself and ends up with an injury on his forehead.
This incident becomes a turning point in their relationship.
Percival is forced to confront the consequences of her reckless power and the depth of Gawain’s kindness, strengthening the bond between them.
In team competition, Percival partners with Tristan Liones.
She is fascinated by Tristan’s swing, which has its own distinctive beauty and efficiency.
Percival attempts to imitate Tristan’s swing on her own and tries it in real play.
However, she soon realizes that, no matter how hard she tries, she cannot match Tristan’s level of skill and refinement.
This failed attempt reveals both her admiration for Tristan and her limitations.
It also highlights the difference between raw power (Percival’s strength) and highly polished technique (Tristan’s specialty).
During the Camelot Cup, Percival represents the British school of Camelot Academy.
She competes in both team and individual formats, giving her multiple chances to interact with major characters.
In team play, she teams up with Tristan Liones to take on powerful opponents.
Their contrasting styles—Percival’s explosive power and Tristan’s elegance—make their pairing distinctive.
In individual play, Percival is grouped with Gawain Nanaumi and Charles Livingston.
This grouping is where her overwhelming power, her dangerous mishit, and Gawain’s injury all unfold.
The ricochet accident that injures Gawain’s forehead not only affects the match but changes how Percival views her own golf.
It adds emotional depth to her arc, showing that for her, golf is no longer just about distance but also about responsibility and care for others.
After the Camelot Cup, Percival’s talent draws attention from powerful figures in the golf world.
She is scouted by Ashcroft of Graal, an indication of how highly her potential is rated.
Percival refuses Ashcroft’s scouting offer.
During or after this refusal, she suffers a contusion behind her knee, suggesting that the encounter is not entirely peaceful or gentle.
Despite this setback, she eventually becomes a professional golfer.
As a pro, she continues to display her signature long-hitting style on a larger stage.
There are indications that she frequently faces Yumiko Koizumi in professional tournaments.
These repeated matches imply an ongoing rivalry or recurring matchup that carries over from their younger days into their pro careers.
In the earliest concept, Percival was originally designed as a confident boy.
This early idea emphasized a brash, strong-willed male power hitter.
Later in development, the character was reworked as a girl without losing the core elements of confidence and power.
This change added a different kind of contrast between her small female frame and her massive driving ability.
Because of this shift, her debut scene in Rising Impact was altered in the collected editions.
The tankobon (collected volume) version of her first appearance is adjusted to reflect her final identity as a girl rather than the initial boy concept.
Percival stands out because she combines extreme power with a child’s small figure and straightforward personality.
Her use of a 60-inch driver at age 10, plus a one-and-a-half rotation swing, makes her one of the most visually striking golfers in the series.
Her drive to become the world’s best long hitter gives her a clear and simple goal that readers can easily understand.
At the same time, her guilt over injuring Gawain and her struggles to imitate Tristan’s swing show her vulnerability and growth.
By later becoming a pro golfer and repeatedly encountering players like Yumiko Koizumi, she proves that her dream is not just a childish fantasy.
Instead, it becomes the foundation for a career, making her a character whose journey extends beyond the Camelot Cup and into the wider golf world of Rising Impact.
