Yours/Penelope 

She/her they/them (enby)

Yours is a very complex character with many little quirks that play larger roles in her behavior

Some central ideas that help build the foundation of this character is that Penelope endured abuse from her peers and family from a very young age. Pen was stunted at a young age from developing emotional maturity, she also was basically trained to fear others due to her upbringing. As time went on and her isolation worsened, pen developed a heavily flawed outlook of the world, where everyone is seemingly out to get her and any vulnerability she shows would mean her destruction or pain. So she turned into a bitter resentful person, one who trusts no one. And because of her lack of maturity she easily perceives anything as an insult or personal. Even with all these awful twisted parts of her, inside Yours' is an innocent scared inner child. She does have good traits too, Yours is perceptive, smart, beautiful, logical, empathetic, and righteous (for better, and worse)


Penelope also has a unique form of speech as a direct outcome of her isolation, she uses alot of esoteric vocabulary, big weird words as well as some phrases she falls back on as verbal crutches ("logically, of course, obviously, emphatically, etc."). She also can't talk about things she perceives as vulnerable on her part, this means she does not talk about how she feels, her interests, deeper emotions etc., she literally cannot physically talk about those things,  her throat closes if she even tried.


Penelope looks at herself as inherently evil or bad, she thinks she has no choice but to be a bad person because she was conditioned to feel this way. Truly the OG edge lord


Pen as a character is a bit of an allegory for generational trauma and the cyclical nature of abuse.
