Canon: Final Fantasy XII
Age: 17
Timeline: Just after the end of the original game
Detailed Character Info
Personality: Penelo is a friendly and caring girl who takes life as it comes to her. She’s been through her fair share of hard times, but she’s generally optimistic, and tries very hard to see the good in people. Although she resented the Archadian Empire for taking her family from her and for the conditions in her home city, she was still able to become friends with Larsa, an Archadian prince. That doesn’t mean that she’s incapable of telling when people might be bad or dangerous, though. Despite being young, optimistic, and very much a seventeen year old girl, she isn’t naive. She’s been through too much and seen too much in her lifetime to not have a fairly realistic picture of the world.
She’s emotionally strong, has a good head on her shoulders, and cares deeply about the people she’s close to, so she makes a very good friend. She’s also something of a mother hen and will go out of her way to make sure that the people she cares about are alright. She has a healthy sense of adventure and certainly doesn’t mind some excitement in her life, but she’s honestly happiest when the people around her are happy and safe.
When dealing with strangers, she isn’t shy, but she doesn’t come on too strong, either. She’s kind and polite, and because she has those qualities without being tremendously bubbly, most people tend to like her. Once she gets close to people, she becomes both more confident and more protective, so she might sometimes nag or tell them off for doing something stupid. She’s never very harsh, though, and any lecturing a friend of hers might receive will always be in his or her best interest. If she’s ever annoying, it’s only because she cares.
Sexuality: Penelo is mostly heterosexual, though she probably wouldn’t be opposed to experimenting. Gender isn’t as important as personality and general compatibility. She’s quite susceptible to charm (as evidenced by that bit of not-quite-swooning over Balthier’s handkerchief), though she’d be more inclined to end up in a long-term relationship with someone she can take care of in some way or another.
At the point I’m taking her from, she has no real experience, and she’ll probably be a little disturbed at first about the way this world works. She isn’t unfamiliar with the idea of intimacy and as a dancer, she’s pretty comfortable with herself physically, so I suspect she’ll settle in well enough, considering.
Abilities: Penelo is a white mage, meaning she has magic that can heal and protect herself and her allies. She also carries a dagger and can fight with it, though she isn’t very strong. It would probably be bad if she somehow got into a fight by herself. Fortunately, she’s not someone who’s too likely to make enemies. She’s also a very good dancer.
Multifandom: Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club. I think they could be friends. He’s charming (in a kind of goofy, amusing way) so she might be a little drawn to him for that, but he’s also just a genuinely nice guy. Since they’re both generally friendly and polite, I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t get along. She would probably be a little taken aback by his idea of running a host club at his school, but would sympathize with the goal of making people happy. He’s a little weird, but all in all, she would probably find that endearing.
Action sample: [Penelo sat outside the building that housed the Reception Bureau, skimming through a pamphlet that described the city. It was all so much to take in. That morning, she had been in Rabanastre with Vaan, and now she was somewhere else entirely, without him. The people she’d talked to had been nothing but sympathetic to the fact that there were people at home she wanted to go back to, but it seemed like there wasn’t any way to do it. Apparently people showed up here all the time and nobody really understood how or knew any way to make it happen in reverse.
She sighed quietly. It seemed like a nice enough place, but this was just too sudden. Even if there was no way to go back, she wished there was some way to send a message saying she was okay. Vaan was probably running around like crazy looking for her by now.]
