MEET PENELOPE

Penelope Valenduris 10 | ucpb rep » 8 | unattached incoming firstie; unknown seer child ❧

~— A B O U T — FAMILY: "The extended Valenduris family is expansive; Meserimus is her father, which makes her great-aunt to Sabine and Cassian, despite being a full decade younger than Sabine. Family is weird, y'know? She finds it quite entertaining." - Quoted from her twin's intro post. Penelope has an identical twin in Parthenope Valenduris. PROPHECIES: Penelope has had a few accurate prophecies without realizing it. Mostly through dreams, though she can get feelings and make 'guesses' about someone's personal life that they otherwise would probably not have shared with her. On the whole, the majority of her accurate prophecies have been shrouded in death. One primary reason that she refuses to go without wearing yellow is to avoid the darker 'nightmares' that seem to be kept at bay with this habit. Has she 'guessed' something uncanny about your character? Want her to accidentally prophesize your character's beloved pet's demise? Should someone start taking notice to some of these otherworldly traits and put the dots together? WHAT IS WITH THAT KID?: A lot of people will find her odd. Not only for her unnamed seer traits, but because this is an era that she can't get an autism diagnosis and people likely won't understand her 'odd' traits all that well. Does your character see value in getting to know her even when they don't understand? Do they not care about not being able to relate to some of her needs? Or will your character have a problem with how she 'behaves'? FUTURE PEERS: Fellow incoming firsties!

Ella Grimm is my incoming firstie and she's a take them as they come sort of person, so I don't think she would be thrown off by any "oddities". As the oldest of 7 she's also super accommodating and understanding, a mother hen if you will!

James Callum is her fellow firstie. I don't think it's occurred to him yet that "odd" is bad unless she gave him another reason to dislike her, so he'd probably give her a chance!

  

Tony here is also an incoming firstie. He's also going to tag along to the Valenduris' shopping trip, so he'd meet Penelope there. He wouldn't mind her oddities, if anything he'd assume that's just a Wizard Thing.

  

Hello sister dearest Morgan being the elder by 10months has Complicated Feelings about her sisters.

She is in the unenviable position of being older and seen as responsible for the two of them but with no real age gap to really allow any actual difference between the two. Pen's personality and oddities are just Her and part of her peculiarities and eccentricities and with any sisterly relationship there is equal love and frustration- I'd say fights but Morgan is conflict adverse and has a natural desire for peace so I'd say she is more likely to repress (cause thats healthy) her own feelings on the matter and try and act as the parent in the situation, often giving up her own things. The twins close relationship means that she often feels like a third wheel and often feels lonely (which is why she... has Archimedes...) and often feels invisible as the twins do draw attention.
