About

Penelope was sorted into Ravenclaw for a reason; she was smart as a child and she still is. While there are those that loose whatever traits that originally got them sorted into their house she has never been one of them. Burying herself in books from an early age, the two main interests in Penny’s life from she was seven were Quidditch and reading. These interests have remained throughout her life, and when she’s not busy she still enjoys curling up with a good book. She is perceptive, and able to listen to both sides of a debate although she rarely, if ever, lets one side change her mind from her set opinion. She has always been quite stubborn about her beliefs and doesn’t foresee any change in that in the near future.

Penelope has an odd sort of calm about her; she is one of those rare few who can sit perfectly still for any amount of time. She is not angered easily, but when she is it is a fearful thing to behold, a burning kind of rage that takes hold and refuses to let go. She can carry a grudge for longer than most people live, and while she may forgive she never forgets. The only time the heat of anger and power truly takes over Penny’s very being is when she’s holding her wand and watching a house, a forest, a person go up in flames. Not normally sadistic, she’ll admit to fire being her one weakness. It fascinated her as a child, a dangerous weapon that was natural, that caused such grief for people, that could be controlled and created by magic, although she doesn’t say it often, she has always wanted to experiment more with it.

She’s ridiculously proud of some things. Her lineage is one of them; she is no longer as large a blood purist as she used to be and has got rather used to working with Muggles and Muggleborns out of necessity but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t still believe, in one corner of her mind at least, the pure-bloods are better than others. She’s selfish to a point and doesn’t intend for that to change but she can be compassionate at the same time and it’s not that she’s truly, unspeakably selfish—it’s simply that if dangerous things don’t have some kind of a benefit to her it takes a lot to persuade her to even entertain the though. She’s formal and can seem very stiff; she isn’t the greatest at small talk and doesn’t plan to be. She’s no-nonsense and quite bossy, very practical. She will not follow anyone who she doesn’t believe deserves to be followed but, once she choose someone or something to follow, she’s extremely loyal.

Penelope is hard to get close to because she grew up in a family that was truly lower middle class but took care to maintain their outward status as being one of the richer pure-blood families. This led to her from an early age having to keep secrets and not being allowed to invite friends over and this, in turn, discouraged her from making new ones. With certain people, Penny is a very easy going individual: she’s friendly and honest to a point, witty and compassionate, prone to teasing even. On the other hand, she can be extremely blunt to everyone—whether or not she likes them. She doesn’t tolerate fools or incompetents easily and can be a bit snappish to others.
