penny buchanan is, and always has been, unremarkable, at least in her own eyes. a christian sorority girl from texas ? they’re a dime a dozen. not to mention penny is the second youngest of four girls, all of whom look remarkably similar. the buchanan girls came as a package deal. penny spent every minute with her sisters growing up ( though many of those minutes were spent at war ), trying to ignore their parents’ relationship crumbling irreversibly as the years went on. it was an open secret that glenn buchanan was not entirely faithful to his wife. but they brushed it under the rug; after all, what else were they supposed to do, divorce ? now that wouldn’t be very christian, would it ?
penny first discovered a love for computers in her sophomore year of high school, when she signed up for a computer class because the boy she was crushing on was taking it. well, crushes fade, but her interest in the ones and zeroes that composed the modern computer didn’t. the first week of her first year at rvu, penny cried herself to sleep every night. she’d never been apart from her sisters for so long. not to mention she stuck out like a sore thumb in her software engineering classes, which were overwhelmingly male ( and in need of deodorant ).
but she quickly found a home in the sorority sigma delta nu, all too happy to bake cookies for their bake sales and play sidekick to the bolder, more outgoing girls, as long as she was part of a sisterhood once more. she’s always defined herself by her relationship to other people, and a sorority is right up her alley. she’s a little embarrassed by her major, since it’s probably seen as pretty nerdy and masculine, and definitely downplays it lmao even though she loves it a lot. she definitely was more of a follower than a leader, so if another of her sorority sisters had drama with someone, penny definitely stood behind them and stayed quiet instead of maybe forming her own opinion.
totally into the bachelor lmfao. she's seen every season and lives for the drama of it all. just loves reality shows in general. also loves romcoms. she’s a total hopeless romantic who gets crushes on people way too easily
WANTED PLOT !!! something i’d love is if penny had a boyfriend in her college days. super cute, been dating a while, people probably expect them to get married. but she’s secretly cheating on him. the drama !!! up to you how much he remembers of the future. extra bonus points if she’s cheating on him with a girl, im so gay and so is penny
college tl;dr : penny is your average christian sorority girl, sweet but a lil insecure and dependent, Confused™ about her sexuality, loves software eng & actually really good at it but embarrassed abt it. can be jealous and honestly a little spiteful. way too concerned about her image
after college !! i imagine the boyfriend finds out about her cheating and breaks up with her lol. she got a job in silicone valley and makes like, a lot of money tbh. she gained more confidence and independence, but still tends to make herself smaller and stick to the shadows while her coworkers get the glory. i feel like she’s had a few short relationships but nothing super serious. definitely had an okcupid account lmfao.
she’s always wanted to be a mother and at some point after a certain amount of failed relationships she was like … ya know what ? i’m gonna do this on my own. so she got artificially inseminated and now has the cutest daughter named madison. it’s been tough being a single mother, but it’s been so worth it.
after the reunion, she remembers some of her future, but it’s very much like remembering a dream, where you’re not sure if it even happened. the only parts she remembers clearly are with madison.
𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
these are all lame bc i’m tired i am sorry
ex-boyfriend. like i said, a college boyfriend who she was cheating on. pleaseee
college fling. the person she cheated with. would love this to be a girl/enby but would also be ok with a guy. taken by vivienne hale
skinny love. maybe they were just friends but always lowkey had a crush on each other, but it never worked out cause they were never single at the same time
sorority sisters. pleeeease give penny her sorority sisters !! her girls !!
hbic. penny’s more of a sidekick, so i’d love a female friend who’s more confident and outgoing. think like, jennifer & needy from jennifer’s body
classmates. any other engineers out there ?? doesn’t even need to be software engineers lol
childhood / high school friends. someone also from texas who penny knew growing up
victims ? maybe some of her sorority sisters tended to be snotty and mean, and penny just stood by instead of standing up for their victims
one-sided crush. either way bbyyyy
sperm donor. i know sperm donors are anonymous but how fucking funny would it be if penny found out the father of her child was an old classmate
i look in the mirror, i lose my mind a little, i cry on public transport, i walk through a fluorescent supermarket, i have slow and confusing dreams at night. you know how it is
