just a little bit more for the people in the back
What are three Netflix shows that they’ve rated five stars? stranger things, because i don’t believe anyone could not love that show - it wouldn’t be the sort of thing penina herself would have expected to love, but she does and she awaits season three with as much enthusiasm as anyone. she also adores the crown okay, and for a third she really loves anne with an ‘e’ okay because it’s so precious and sweet.
Where do they prefer to read? On the sofa, in bed, at a table, on the porch, in a cafe? anywhere and everywhere that has a spot of sunlight - penina loves to curl up like a cat and read, usually accompanied by some form of a warm drink even in the midsummer heat when she feels ready to burst into flames. but she has a particular liking for reading outside, the room she’s renting actually came with the bonus of a tiny little balcony so she spends a lot of time out there.
Do they like to play games? What kind of games: video, card, board? What are some of their favorites? penina’s a nerd and would love games like charades okay, anything that involves a group of friends all getting together and giggling sounds like a good time to her.

Do they prefer movies or TV shows?

What holiday is their favorite? Which is their least favorite? penina loves any excuse to get together with family to be honest so christmas is probably her favourite, because she gets to return home and see everyone again. her least favourite... i don’t think she has one - actually, penina isn’t a huge fan of halloween to be honest, she doesn’t like masks i have a feeling.
What’s their diet like? Are they vegetarian, vegan? Do they have any food allergies that make them have a special diet? penina is allergic to honey, so that really is the only allergy she has to contend with. she’s not a vegetarian, but she doesn’t eat an awful lot of meat to begin with.
What sort of toys did they play with as a child? penina loved being outside as a kid, probably the best thing she ever received as a gift was her bike when she was five or six, because it allowed her to explore her small little corner of montpelier with greater ease.
How often do they go grocery shopping? Do they tend to do one large trip, or smaller ones throughout the week? she never does a huge shop to be honest, is always popping in and out of the little shops surrounding her accommodation.
Do they eat breakfast? What’s a typical breakfast look like for them? a luxury to penina is a leisurely breakfast, where she can go the whole nine yards with yoghurt, and museli, and fruit - however a typical breakfast is probably a cup of coffee and an apple eaten hastily on her way to classes.
Do they like going to museums? What type of museums do they like to go to? Art, science, historical; interactive, quiet, a mix? penina adores museums, literally she could wander around one for hours upon hours. it doesn’t really matter what exactly is the subject of the museum, she more so loves the vibe and atmosphere.
How do they organize their books? Alphabetical by author, by title? By size, color, date published? Is there any rhyme or reason? there is absolutely no rhyme or reason - her desk is a bombsite the majority of the time, a mix of her textbooks with recreational reading, folders overflowing with sheets, an out and out mess to be honest.
Have they ever been do Disney World/Land, or any other amusement park? What do they prefer to do at them: go on the rides, play the games, eat the food? during her first year of college in paris, penina went to disneyland with a few friends and absolutely loved it - once again more so for the atmosphere than anything else. she enjoyed every single aspect, but i don’t think in general she’s the kind of person who would regularly seek out the thrills of an amusement park.
How do they eat their popcorn? What do they put on it? buttery and salty, without fail.
When do they pay their bills? As soon as the bill comes in? At the last moment? Or are most of their bills automatically taken out of their account? as soon as the bill comes in, she hates owing a debt to anyone - be they friend, or electricity company.
What time do they normally go to bed? How many hours of sleep do they usually need to function in the morning? to function penina needs about five, but she regularly gets between seven and eight hours - she’s usually in bed by eleven, and isn’t that much of a night owl.
Do they have cable, or do they rely mostly on Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services? she relies solely on netflix to fulfil her entertainment needs.
What is their preferred weather? What would be a perfect weather day? perfect weather is golden sunshine, with a little bit of a breeze so it isn’t stifling - the sort of weather where the only thing she wants to do is eat ice cream with her toes dipped into the sea.
Are they more of a snacker throughout the day, or they eat three meals and call it a day? definitely a snacker - she always makes sure to have a decent dinner, but she loves to just pick at pieces of fruit, or a little bit of bread throughout the day - or a packet of chocolate biscuits.
Have they ever had an imaginary friend? probably, but not one so significant that she remembers them - penina was always a friendly person, so she didn’t really have difficulty in finding people to interact with as a little kid.
What were they a part of in high school/college, if they went? Were they a part of any clubs, did they play any sports? What clique would they have been considered a part of? penina was a theater and music baby, for sure. she would have been part of the school choir, and would have tried her best to become involved in any productions which might have been put on - be that on the stage, or behind the scenes.
Do they have a favorite restaurant? How often do they go to it, and what’s their usual order? penina prefers cafes to fancy restaurants, honestly. i don’t think she would be particularly snobby about coffee chains or anything like that, but she would enjoy a little dinky cafe as much as anyone else. her regular order would be a coffee, and a little pastry - very standard, but never mess with the classics.
How do they prefer to watch movies? In the theater, on a streaming site, from an owned DVD/digital download, rented from somewhere? penina loves going to the cinema, and goes as often as she can - both with others, and alone. but she also enjoys cuddling up in her bed and watching something in the comfort of her own room, so -
Do they watch any sports? What are they a fan of, and what teams do they root for? Do they watch the games/matches on TV or do they try to be there for some in person? Do they just catch the highlights on their phone later on? she’s not particularly interested in sports to be honest, but will patriotically tune in whenever france is partaking in a particularly important match or game - completely a fair-weather fan.
What do they prefer to do in the summertime? Do they like going to the beach, do they prefer camping, staying in the city? Do they like to stay indoors and away from the heat? penina adores the beach - her dream place to live is right on the shoreline. she literally goes as early as she can, and won’t leave the sand until it’s nearly dusk. she loves heat too, and doesn’t deal very well with the cold at all.
