Can we please have an OC Deepdive for dear dead and dreadful Penelope?
OC Deep Dive | Mother Superior Penelope Germaine Armitage-Stoneleigh
What common/uncommon fear do they have?
I think Penny's afraid of rootlessness, routelessness - having no sense of where she's from and where she's going, it would be all too easy to simply collapse, into an endless train of atrocities. As long as she has a cause, she has a mission, and as long as she has a mission, she has a reason, and as long as she has a reason... she can hold onto hers.
Do they have any pet peeves?
Thought-terminating cliches in general, but she reserves a seething hatred for what people of a certain age still call "image macros." Failure to use your words indicates lack of an argument. You have lost. (She's such a fucking Redditor, I swear to God.)
What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?
Nail polish. So much nail polish. It's about the only part of her beauty regimen she can do for herself and she's quite good at nail art. Also, hats. And she never grew out of her childhood habit of stuffing whatever books she was reading under the covers instead of putting them back anywhere.
What do they notice first in a person?
What they look at to avoid looking at her. If they actually look at her, head on, they are worth considering.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?
About a 6. She's not as tough as she claims she is, and in a straight up fight, she's something of a glass cannon. After the initial ambush/environmental hazard phase, the Penny boss fight doesn't actually take too long.
Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? (or freeze and fawn)
Fawn, and she hates it about herself. Freeze if she's merely discombobulated.
What animal represents them best?
Monitor lizard. I saw a video of one acting like an oversized housecat that didn't blink and yep, that's her.
How would a stranger likely describe them?
"So I had this bird in the cab the other week, right, and she just sat there for the whole ride - just stared. Didn't say a word. Didn't blink. Funny thing is, I don't remember her getting in... or what she looked like. Just those eyes. And she paid cash. Wouldn't even touch me card reader."
Do they have any hobbies?
What a quaint notion. Not... really. Everything Penny does is technically part of her Sabbat hustle. Being a troll on vampblr.sck is fun, though. I imagine she still reads, and she can do a cryptic crossword in about half the time it takes anyone else, but that's more about keeping her brain active... it's like exercise. I'm now struck by the awful image of her working out, just to freak out the gym rats, and I can't get that out of my head...
