Appearance: Standing at the lofty height of 5'7 Penny is a very tall girl for the time and when she was younger she had to work very hard not to tend towards ungainliness. Since she was fourteen however her body has been more cooperative and she moves with grace and surety.

She is right handed and has never suffered an injury in her life, leaving her entirely free of scars or other such blights.

History:
1866: Lady Penelope Humphrey-Mavis is born the youngest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Esterwick. Her birth is greeted with the joy that befits the occasion. She carries the courtesy title of Lady like her sisters, due to her father’s position.

1869: Penny’s deliriously happy childhood is interrupted marginally when Frederick goes off to Hogwarts. Not being as close to their older brother as Betsy though she rallies a great deal quicker than her sister. .

1872: She exhibits magic for the first time when a small watercolour she utterly bungled made itself nice and neat. She feels terribly clever and immediately shows her parents, enjoying showing off what she can do.

1875: Betsy goes to Hogwarts. Penny is quietly pleased, rather enjoying having more attention and getting to know her little brother better - she finds she prefers his thoughtful company to either of her older siblings’.

]1877: Penny attends Hogwarts and begs the hat to put her in Slytherin. When asked why she wanted Slytherin, she thinks that it’s better to be in the house with a reputation like that, because then at least you’ll get left alone yourself and the hat deems this sneaky and sound and immediately puts her in Ravenclaw. Though she likes her house she can’t help but feel the hat is toying with her every time she sees it afterwards.

1877-1884: In amongst the cocoon of Hogwarts Penny lives a happy and charmed life. She is popular and intelligent – although not overly liked – and has an entirely unremarkable schooling. She enjoys herself thoroughly though and debuts along with the rest of her class in the summer of ‘84.

1884: Her first season is blighted rather spectacularly by the outbreak of fire and plague that rocks Hogsmeade and the wizarding community. Being neither residents of the village, nor purebloods, her family are entirely unaffected but it is a dull, wasted year.

1885: After a mostly boring, but considerably more active year Penny attends a play at Christmastime and first makes the acquaintance of Mr Marcus Lytton, the fashion designer. After a rocky beginning they warm to each other considerably but she is terribly conscious of his class and avoids any discussion of their future prospects.

1887: Her brother marries Eva Sleptova and Penny thinks about the tradesman in London the entire time.

Personality: Spoilt. Occasionally blinded by her own conviction that she's right. Know-it-all. Superior. Reliable. Warm-hearted to those she's close to. Sometimes petty, sometimes gregarious. Witty. Confident occasionally bordering on arrogance.

Other: + Like most young women of her class Penny is an excellent pianist, a capable horsewoman and a dangerous card player.
