Like many Pureblood families, the genealogy stretches far, and as such, has been ingrained within her family long before she was born. Nearly all of the marriages that happened throughout the family tree were arranged marriages, which is a practice that many Pureblood families prefer. It has essentially become a tradition, which means every young woman is primed from an early age, in preparation to one day becoming a superior wife and mother. It isn't enough to instruct Pureblood children with the distinguished education of Hogwarts, they also need to be indoctrinated in the Pureblood ways. One such component of that is the understanding and acknowledgement that blood purity is critically important in terms of marriage and reproducing. <br/><br/>Penny was born the only child to her parents; Daniel and Lillian. Her mother intended to have more children, but after the difficulty she endured and a few health complications that crept up after birth, she procrastinated until it was too late. Penny didn't mind being the only child, in the slightest. Very early in life, she learned how to keep herself occupied and entertained, not needing to rely on others and developing an independence that has remained with her to this day. She grew up surrounded by magic, entirely exposed to the life of a witch and finding it difficult to relate to Muggles, much less blend in with the non-magical society. The day that she received her letter of invitation to magical schooling launched the start of her magical career, though she already had a wand, which had been passed down throughout generations and taken to Ollivander for specifications and mending. <br/><br/>While the women in Penny's family have largely made a habit out of being homemakers, the men on her father's side often gravitated toward Magical Law Enforcement. While she was growing up, she thought that there could be no bigger worrywart than her father, but he was surpassed easily by her grandfather. She was constantly told story after story about misconduct in the wizarding world, unfortunate disasters and accidents ending in death. Expectations were high for her. She was supposed to always stay the baby that she once was, the good girl who would never get into any sort of trouble and would hate to cause her parents or grandparents to worry about her. However, being raised in such a way, with so much of that sort of pressure on her, only wound up causing Penny to want to misbehave and act out, repelling the ways of the women that came before her, especially the idea of an arranged, Pureblood marriage. <br/><br/><strong>Likes</strong>: Compliments, Rebelling, Parties, Secrets, Gossip, Fashion, Winning, Manipulation (to get her way) <br/><br/><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being interrupted, Being ignored, Not getting what she wants, Frizzy hair days, Losing<br/><br/><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Being stopped on the street, at the mall and in a coffee shop, by random strangers asking if she was a professional model, or wanted to become one<br/><br/><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Every walk of shame she's had to do <br/><br/><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> The chances she never took.<br/><br/><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> Ballet, Dueling Club, Choir <br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/33/Penny_Slyth_1.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/70/Penny_Slyth_2.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f5/Penny_Slyth_3.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0b/Penny_Slyth_4.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/21/Penny_Slyth_5.jpg) <br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3e/Penny_Slyth_6.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/98/Penny_Slyth_7.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ec/Penny_Slyth_8.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/Penny_Slyth_9.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9b/Penny_Slyth_10.png)<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Connections</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Dante Fairchild</strong> - Childhood friends. Their pureblood families are connected in one way or another, which allowed the pair to see each other at various functions and parties throughout the years. Penny likes to flirt with Dante and is convinced he may have a small crush on her. But, because he's never made a move, nothing has ever happened. Which is probably a good thing, since they are one another's confidant. Perhaps a brotherly/sisterly sort of relationship, they each have the other's back, no matter what, and anything sexual developing between them puts their close bond in jeopardy. So, they prefer to keep things as they are.<br/><br/><strong>Topher Dubois</strong> - Friend...ly. Their pureblood families are linked in one way or another, so Penny and Topher have gotten to know each other at various functions and parties over time. Penny has always found Topher cute, and has flirted with him on one occasion, which turned out to be a rather awkward encounter. Topher claimed it was because she was too young for him. Penny didn't quite believe his claim. Maybe there's something else going on with him... something that he's hiding.<br/><br/><strong>Darcy Fredricksen</strong> - Friends. Despite her family being Muggles, they are still well off and politically savvy. Penny's parents were invited to a couple of get together's hosted by the Fredricksen's, and had to hide their disdain for Muggles all the while. Penny and Darcy hit it off, despite their different blood types. After finding out Darcy was expected to enter Hogwarts this year, she hopes that they both wind up in Slytherin House together.<br/><br/><strong>Zacharias Warde</strong> - Fling. Their families are connected in one way or another, which has allowed the two to get to know one another at various parties and functions throughout the years. Zacharias and Penny first hooked up last year, with the understanding that their 'fun' would be had without strings attached, since both of them were sure their parents would set them up for an arranged marriage soon. Still, that doesn't change what happened between them very much, does it?<br/><br/><strong>Nathaniel Warde</strong> - Crush. Penny has had a thing for older guys for some time and after meeting Zacharias' older cousin, she fell victim to the same pattern. Unfortunately, he is a rather notorious skirt chaser and can be a bit of a prick, at that. Even still, he's very fit, and always managed to capture Penny's attention. Whether he's being a prick, or not.<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Scenes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hogwarts Express (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14007178#msg14007178)<br/></div></div></div></div>
