Hometown: Celadon, Kanto (grows up between Celadon, Kanto and Goldenrod, Johto

Hair Color: Red, the same shade as Lance's

Body Type: Penel's on the short side, taking after Ethan much more than Lance. She has few curves, having a more beanpole-like frame.
Style: Penel prefers a very 'punk' style of clothing, favoring black. She'll wear some color on occasion, and like trenchcoats since she thinks they make her look dramatic.

- Penel is one of the few fankids that prefers to travel solo. She occasionally travels with Ina's group, and on rarer occasions will travel with her brother, Hale, but by and large she travels alone.
- Much like her cousin, Ina, she almost never goes by her fullname, Penelope, to the point where even she sometimes forgets that Penel isn't actually her real name.
- As Lance passed away before she was born, Penel doesn't really view him as her father, unlike Hale, who holds onto the idea of Lance as their real father despite the fact he barely remembers the man. As Silver was the only other parent Penel ever knew besides Ethan, Silver is the one she regards as her father. She and Hale get into a lot of fights over Silver as a result, as Hale is very resentful of Silver's role in their lives and acts out a lot, while Penel typically will call her brother out and try to defend Silver. Where Silver and Ethan generally aren't able to get through to Hale about his bevavior, surprisingly, Penel has the best chance of actually getting through to her brother, as she's the only one he actually pays some mind to.
- Her team is based on a run of Crystal I did. I originally never intended for her to have a shiny Pokemon, but since I got a shiny Cleffa in that run, she ended up with a shiny Cleffa she recieved from the Day-Care Couple to match this.
