Appearance[]
As a young adult, Penelope had long, wavy brown hair that extended to the middle of her back with bangs styled straight across her forehead hanging above a pair of large, slanted peridot-green eyes and a beauty mark right underneath the left side of her bottom lip. After several years, her curly hair was cut short and brushed past her shoulders.
Personality[]
Penelope was an ambitious woman who desired a comfortable and luxurious life above all else. She was selfish and manipulative, capable of turning her back on those she deemed unnecessary.
History[]
Background[]
As the daughter of a count, Penelope was betrothed to the second prince of the Obelian Empire, Claude de Alger Obelia. She convinced her father to delay the engagement announcement and seduced the first prince and heir to the throne, Anastacius de Alger Obelia. The two eventually became lovers and her engagement with Claude was canceled.
After obtaining the throne, Anastacius used Penelope to conduct an experiment, artificially creating a child filled with black magic. When Anastacius fell at the hands of Claude, Penelope fled the imperial palace while protecting her unborn child before she eventually found shelter at the House of Alpheus and desperately put her remaining faith into her child's future, believing the baby would be her solace before she soon died giving birth to her daughter.
Relationships[]
Claude de Alger Obelia[]
Despite being Claude's fiancée, Penelope was unsatisfied with her engagement to a prince who had no legitimacy to the throne that she decided to turn her back on Claude and seduce Anastacius, the rightful heir.
Anastacius de Alger Obelia[]
Penelope approached Anastacius with the intentions of securing her place as wife to the future emperor of Obelia. Anastacius harbored a grudge against his talented younger brother, Claude, and accepted her as a lover.
Jennette Margarita[]
Penelope allowed Anastacius to conduct an experiment with black magic, eventually conceiving Jennette through artificial means. After Anastacius was murdered, Penelope fled the imperial palace while carrying Jennette in her womb. As her last shred of hope, Penelope convinced herself that her unborn child will grant her the life she desired. She died during labor and thus never had an opportunity to develop a relationship with Jennette.
Roger Alpheus[]
Roger and Penelope were cousins. After Anastacius fell at the hands of his younger brother Claude, Penelope fled the imperial palace and sought shelter at Roger's home before she eventually died in the duke's mansion during childbirth.
