Overall: First and foremost Penelope wants to have fun. Even though she's stuck working she wants to have fun as much as the next person does. Penny's a fairly charming girl. She's easy to speak with and enjoys speaking with people after she's comfortable around them. Normally, she's the first in her group of friends to accept a new person into their tightly knit little circle. She enjoys belonging to a group. Friends are some of life's greatest treasures and she wants to make sure that she can keep them with her for as long as she possibly can. She's usually the voice of reason amongst her group of friends though that doesn't mean she won't rush into things without thinking. She's horrible at planning things out and usually she doesn't understand or think things through until she's already knee deep into an issue. Half the time she won't know what she's doing until she's already doing it. Her heart's usually in the right place it's her head that needs to catch up with her.
She's empathetic and she can easily walk a mile in someone else's shoes. She's very polite to people and fairly nice most of the time. She's more than willing to offer the shirt off her back for somebody if she knows that it's the right thing to do. Every move Penelope makes is with a good intention and with a sense of justice. If somebody does her wrong she will be a very vindictive little bitch and make sure that she gets her way.
Penelope's very haughty when it comes to certain things. She believes that she's the best and knows the best for the situation until anybody can proove her otherwise. Even then, they have to work very hard to make her believe anything than what she calls "the truth". She could be pegged as egotistical but she has reasons to be; she's smart, funny, pretty, and gets what she wants. Because of that she can rub people the wrong way but that is their issue.
Despite that she doesn't like it when people get her angry. If someone gets angry at her she is forced to retaliate and be mean back. She can be a rather vindictive little bitch! If someone pisses her off she'll do anything to get them back. If she has to get her hands a little dirty in order to do so, so be it. She really doesn't care. Penelope's very spoiled and is used to getting what she wants when she wants it.
She's very impatient and doesn't take to waiting very well. Patience may be a virtue but Penelope doesn't have to wait for things most of the time. Miss Brightman's a very needy girl. She needs the company of others and she needs to be surrounded by beautiful things. Since she herself if a beautiful thing it's only fitting that she should have them as well. Penelope is a lover of the finer things in life from amazingly cute shoes to rare German chocolates and she will leech onto people who can supply her with things she believes that she deserves. If she happens to cling onto somebody she will not leave their side until instructed to do so or if someone better happens to come along.
She's loyal to her friends--or benefactors however she decides to classify them as. She won't back down from their side and will fight their battles if she sees that it's her place. Even if she's made to do the dirty work of her friends she'll take it in stride and help out whoever needs her.
She's stubborn and no matter what she's doing she'll make sure she's doing her best at it. Being extremely headstrong she was a very tenacious young lady. Penelope won't just toss in the towel and give up until she did everything humanly possible to make things work. She's a hard working individual.
When she decides she likes someone she'll do their best to protect them. If that means that she'll have to lie to them so she won't hurt their feelings then she will. Lying's a bad habit but one that she'll fall back into whether it's white lies, true likes, lying by omission, or just trying the change the topic. She hates it when people are upset and sometimes a kind lie is much more tolerable than a hard truth. However, she won't lie when it comes to her feelings. Penelope tends to wear her heart on her sleeve and she loves to make people smile. While not clever with jokes she loves to laugh and have a good time. Penny believes that she's a very lucky person. She gets to do what she loves almost everyday which is more than she can say about some people. Penelope that she'll only be able to live life once and she wants to get as much out of it as she possibly can.
...appearance
x x
Celebrity Play By: Carmen Solomon
Appearance: The best word to describe Penelope is different.
She's just a different looking young lady. She's got curly hair that reaches a little bit below her shoulders that she inherited from her mother. It's a bit too frizzy for her tastes when she leaves it in its natural state. Though, occasionally she will leave it so but she enjoys keeping herself moisturized and leaving her hair curly--super curly! They curl in ringlets when she decides to leave it "natural" and it can be quite pretty. Her hair in oppose to being black or brown is a lovely shade of auburn. Normally, she just leaves it down so it's parted in the middle. Though when she is dancing she will tie it up into a bun or a pony tail so it's out of her face and eyes. Occasionally and just occasionally, she'll straighten it which makes her hair appear far longer than it is but it's very rare for her to do that.
Her eyebrows are often waxed and shaped so she doesn't look like a hairy gorilla type beast. Her eyebrows are sometimes shaped in a confused arch or sassily because she's often got some sort of attitude written across her face. She's got a pair of large pale green eyes that usually have mascara on her eyelashes. When she feels like it she'll put on a layer of light eye shadow but that's not too often either. She's not a straight nose, with what she believes is a bulbous tip to it but she supposes that it looks all right on her face. Across her cheeks and nose is a fine layer of pale freckles that raise up like a flock of birds when she smiles. She's got a pair of full lips that always have a fine layer of gloss over them so she won't have dry lips or anything. They're often curled upwards into a smile so she shows of straight white teeth.
Penelope's skin color is rather interesting to say the least. It's a few shades lighter than a coco color. She's a fairly average sized young woman, reaching a normal height of five feet and six inches. She's a very thin and slender young woman. There are a couple curves here and there along her skinny being but she's very lanky, very smooth looking. She has big hands and big feet with long toes and fingers to match. She's usually got a manicure and pedicure on her beind and she doesn't like to be without painted nails.
She loves dresses and lose clothing. Penelope really loves jewlery but her favorites happen to be just whatever she can find as well as pearls. Seashell type necklaces and bracelets are usually found on her. Anything jingly and noisy she likes because she thinks it matches her well.
Her seal form looks a little like her normal form. While she was freckle as a human she has numerous spots along her tawny body. Her eyes seem just as big but in oppose to their pretty green color they're a deep ebony. Her flippers are very big which make it easy for her to swim. In oppose to being the slender girl she is when she's human when she's a seal she becomes a tad chunkier and rolly. She's got a nice layer of fat on her round being but it keeps her warm in cold water. [/size]
...history
Parents: Fred and Samara Brightman
Siblings: None
Fred was a redheaded white boy in Vermont who met his one true love, a black girl named Samara in college. They both graduated together and a few years after that they bought a home and got married. Fred got a good job as a lawyer and Samara as his secretary. Life was sweet--despite being an interracial couple in a close minded town. They were normal and happy people and decided that they would want to share their lives with somebody else and soon started to begin a family. Samara gave birth to Penelope and she was an average baby girl being only seven pounds seven ounces but Fred was elated as was his wife. The Brightman's named her Penelope.
She had inherited her auburn colored hair from her father and darker skin from her mother but she was absolutely gorgeous! Her eyes were what she loved the most. Her parents loved her more than anything. Her parents always made certain to meet her needs, see that she got everything she ever needed, and make sure that she was a healthy and happy child.
They surrounded her with pink cushions, pillows, stuffed animals, and dolls. When she got old enough, Samara bought her daughter Christie dolls in oppose to Barbie because she wanted to show her daughter that black was beautiful. Even if she was only half. She love dit though especially when her mother would play with her. Tea parties had to be her favorite thing to do though.
School was okay and she spent most of her time by herself, she wasn't the best at making friends but that left more time for her parents. The Brightman's never had any more children as they wanted to dedicate all of their time to their precious little girl. She was the light of their life and she didn't want to take any attention away from her. Her mother didn't want her girls to be idle so she enrolled her little girl into after school activities. Since she and her husband worked long hours and that would leave less time towards her wishing that they were home. The Brightman's were wealthy and most of the time the Brightman girl was left to nannies and tutors after school.
Though her favorite teacher, next to the piano lady because she got candy with her, was her ballet instructor. Mistress Anya who was a bit hard on the class. Penelope loved it though, she took to the class well and she craved the structure. She took to ballet like a fish to water. As she grew up she separated herself from the other girls who found dolls and toys far more interesting than dance for only God knew why. Penelope was happy though she craved for Saturday to come around and when it did she would dance her heart out. She wanted to show Mistress that she was good as his other students, even better than them.
As Penelope got older she had to go into school of course. The days she spent staring out the windows daydreaming about being in ballet in oppose to sitting around and learning about who was the first president and why they chopped down cherry trees. She begged her mother to let her go more than once a week or at least allow her to stay longer that Maestro wouldn't mind if she stayed later to practice. Samara was uncertain at first but then allowed Penelope to go on Friday afternoons after school. Besides, she was far too old for a nanny.
Her parents watched her flourish in dance. Her movements were fluent and beautiful, they couldn't help but be amazed with their pretty daughter. She was a talented young lady. They had been blessed.
Penelope's childhood was fairly normal and relatively happy. They took trips to Disney and went camping every now and then. Though, Penelope loved the beach the most.
She supposed that was where all of the trouble began. It had been a beautiful and sunny day out on the beach when the Brightman family arrived. They set up a spot in the sand and Pen went off to find pretty seashells. She supposed that it was the sea that set it off. Perhaps it was the salt in the air. Whatever it was, she felt an unbearable pain and she fell down to her knees screaming. The sea lapped up against her knees and she clutched her stomach.
Her gangly arms and legs seemed to retract and her legs fused together. Her nose became longer and whiskers sprouted from her cheeks and nose. Before the Brightman parents knew it, their pretty slender daughter had became a blob of seal.
She was a shifter.
Fred had a father who was a shifter and Samara had a grandmother whow as a shifter but they had thought that maybe the genes would skip but it didn't. They swiftly investigated into schools and found one for their daughter. They sent her off and told her that it was for her best. Since then, she had been there since she was a freshman but she always returned for the summers where her parents waited with open arms.
...connecting human to animal
Well, Penelope's a seal because she's super fun loving. She's currently taking animal training because, what better trainer for sea creatures--primarily seals in a water park as she would be able to basically play all day which is what seals pretty much do. She'd be able to understand how to get them to work and would make a great trainer. She's very social, she's a bit motherly, and she doesn't focus on problems for too long. Eventually, she'll get to her goal but not after she tans herself and has some fun. ...literacy
RP Sample:[/i]
Wisconsin was very different from Maine. Well, maybe not totally and completely different but still pretty different. It was almost as fun as Malibu. Ooooh, she sure wished that maybe they were out at the beach. Barbie knew that the beach was different but she wasn't allowed out there though. She would have really liked to go out there though and get a nice tan. She really wanted a tan. There were no places to tan in Wisconsin really either. She supposed that she'd have to investigate on finding a tanning salon for when the winter came. Winter in Maine was supposed to be really cold but she supposed that she would worry about that later.
Clutching onto her purse she walked, her sandals pounded gently on the ground and the tall blonde looked up at the sky for a moment. Her bright blue eyes took in the sky, it sure was a beautiful day!She was happy that she managed to get out of Sunnyside to explore a little bit. Would this park be on limit when school opened up? Or was it just for camp? Camp rules sure were different weren't they?
The blonde girl rocked her head from side to side as she walked forward. The young woman was happy. Her hair was up in a pony tail with a scrunchie that matched her dress so it was out of her face. It swished, swished, swished with every step that she took. Barbie wasn't wearing heals for once so she felt a couple inches shorter than usual.
Piers seemed very interesting and she had met all sorts of interesting people so far. There was Blair, she was really a lot nicer than people thought that she was. Then there was Ken. Ooooh. Ken, she swooned inwardly with a small sigh. Her eyes closed for a moment. That Wendy girl seemed very pleasant. And that Ivanna she had a good head on her shoulders.
Though, Barbie couldn't wait to meet new people! She loved it when she cold meet new people because it was fun. She loved making friends. The blonde wasn't used to being alone--but she couldn't find anybody else that had wanted to go out with her. Her hips swished from side to side as she stopped when she saw somebody at a picnic table. Aww, he was all by himself. Barbie didn't bother to think that maybe the young man wanted to be alone but that he didn't have anybody to talk with either.
She mulled over the pros and cons. Maybe he did want to be alone, sometimes when she was with her sisters she needed her alone time. Or maybe he was shy. That was a good reason to be alone too. Poor shy guy.
Barbie was far from shy. Maybe he just needed some attention. She smiled at that thought, yay. She would get to brighten somebody's day. Her grip on the purse she had loosened as she walked forward. She stopped at the table though and examined him for a moment or two. What should she say? Hi I'm Barbie, nice to meet you. Hello, what are you doing? Hey, I'm from Wisconsin where are you from?
Hm, those all seemed like very good intros but she didn't want to scare him away or anything. She knew that she could be a bit or at least a tad overwhelming to people that didn't know how to handle her. Maybe, she'd take a subtle approach.
"Hi!" she said a bit too loudly. Standing there she looked at the newspaper and crossword puzzle. "Oh, is this one hard?" Barbie wasn't too good at cross word puzzles but he had glasses and he looked like he was very intent on it. He might have been smart but Barbie didn't want to jump the gun and judge him because she hated it when people judged her. "I'm not very good at crosswords, I like word searches a little bit better. Especially when you find words that are there that aren't on the list. Isn't that cool?"
She thought it was cool but then again she was amused very easily. She held her hand out. "I'm Barbie, what's your name?" She didn't shake hands normally but maybe he did so she would be accommodating to his needs. [/size] [/font]
