Appearance:
With a framing design of dark mocha strands, and a set of startling blue eyes, Penelope is a beauty beyond mortal standards. She stands a full five foot eight inches tall and weighs in at one hundred thirty pounds, a brave stature for any woman, especially one who was born so many years ago. Penelope possesses a soft golden tan to her body, hinting at either a lifetime in the sun prior to embrace, or perhaps an ethnicity befitting such caramel coloring.
Penelope has found a small love for piercings and tattoos. Very small. Her ears are pierced twice each, and a small stud is seen in her tongue. A small tattoo of her coven emblem is seen against her right shoulder; A rose with a single thorn. Penelope enjoys the prick of the needle, the casting of the burn across her skin, to form each inked dot. Outside of her piercings and tattoo, she possesses three scars. One, a thick scar that lingers about four inches on her abdomen. The second, a small scar, barely noticeable on her chin. The third, a small, thick scar on her right wrist.
Penelope is rarely ever seen without some sort of name brand on her body. She refuses to wear anything that doesn't have a satin lining touching her skin. With her skin sensitivity, anything harsher, casts a rough passage against her skin, that drives her near mad. Penelope is rarely ever casually dressed, she believes that every day is a new impression, and that a single bad impression erases a century or more of good ones.
Personality:
Personality in words. Sadistic. Serious. Picky. We'll take a moment to touch on each of these.
Sadistic
Penelope enjoys seeing another person in excruisating pain. Her gaze is cold as ice, and she knows how to make a person cringe without even touching them. Her favorite weapon is a bullwhip. She is quite old fashioned to a point, though is somewhat of a feminist. She believes that she can do anything that she wants, regardless if it's seen to be only 'man' work. She enjoys hunting, enjoys the scent of fear burning in the sweat and tears of her victims.
Serious
Penelope is a very serious female. She sees being a vampire as a gift, rather than a curse, and refuses to let anyone get away with seeing it as anything but a gift. She is an Elder, and a business woman, and she takes both her business as an Elder and her Design business highly serious. She feels that if she can create a powerful coven and a powerful business that she can soon rule over the mortal and lycan communities.
Picky
Penelope is a very picky person. Not only where it comes to the clothing she wears, but also to the point of the blood she feeds from. She must have the blood of an attractive man, or she gets violently ill and vomits. Unlike many other vampires, Penelope won't embrace just anyone to have a slave at her side. The ones she has embraced must be special, must possess some talent that she can monopolize.
History:
Conception. It was something thought to be so magical, so beautiful. Life giving life to another. Mary Elizabeth Bennett wasn't so lucky. Mary thought that by sleeping with men, she'd find love, and thus, became a prostitute. Two years after she began her career path, she found herself with child. Mary had tried to abort the fetus, by going to a woman who was known to be a witch. The woman whispered a few words to Mary, and then said that she wasn't pregnant anymore.
A few months later, a beautiful dark haired baby girl came screaming into the world along with her mother's screams of agony. With the two day old Penelope in her arms, Mary went to the Church, and demanded that the woman who had said she was no longer pregnant, be brought to trial for witchcraft. By the time Penelope was a week old, she had heard another set of agonizing screams. That of the witch.
Childhood was difficult, often being passed from one person to another to be watched while her mother went to work, though she enjoyed life. Penelope found fascination in the smallest treasures, though all of that changed when she was around ten years old. Mary came home one day, beaten, bloody, bruised and broken. Penelope ran down the stairs of the boarding house where the pair was staying, and got the landlady, who had been watching her since she was two. Iraida and Penelope raced back up the stairs, only to find Mary Elizabeth not breathing. Iraida had Penelope go down to her house and make a call to the doctor, but by the time, the doctor arrived, there was nothing that could be done for Mary. She was dead.
Penelope changed after that. She had no living relatives that she knew of, and only the landlady to raise her. She quickly learned Italian and Spanish, and found that she was quite intelligent. This spawned a whole new world for her. She wanted to know how everything worked. She began small, insects and frogs were dissected and pulled apart, then it came to animals that had died on the property, until she was sixteen and Iraida died.
During the dissection of Iraida, a man came bursting through the door. His eyes were red, a frenzy, and mixed with the blood that had been spilled from the wounds on the body, he leapt upon the corpse, and drained dry. He grabbed the young Penelope, and took her to his home.
Penelope was raised for the next eight years, protected and loved by the man, who she came to know as Raphael. She grew to fall in love with him, and trust him where she had never trusted any other. One evening, the evening of her twenty-fourth birthday, she was taken into his arms, and was embraced into the life of the Vampire.
Years went by, Penelope continued to learn and figure out how things went for a vampire. A century went by, and then another, and finally as she turned into her second century, she started to design different outfits. Thirteen years ago, twenty years after she began to design clothing, she opened her first business, and became one of the most reknowned clothing designers.
