tw partner death, child death

although she lived a life long before her husband and children came along, its hard to remember when you hold such little regard for the time. her youth, although the memory escapes her, is spent in a small orphanage in london with an elderly widow. pen grows up drawing in the dirt and imagining a life where she might build her own family. she knew that when she would be so lucky to have them, she would hold them so close that they would never know the loneliness she felt as a child.

now despite being a lonely child, penelope grows up to be beautiful woman. she has no problem in finding a husband, but she finds love in the brown eyes benjamin riddell. he has a family of six siblings and two parents to complete the set and pen has never known such love than to be with their family. ben is dependable, and kind, and although he is gone most of the year as a sailor, there are happy together. her heart aches when he leaves but soon... while he sets sails, pretty penelope's tummy grows rounder and rounder until the fruit of her womb grows so heavy she has no choice but to give birth to her son with only the midwife and her husband’s sisters by her side. all is well for the months where he is home, and when he isn't, she has her darling little bumble bee, benjamin riddell ii.

bee, just shy of eleven, takes her hand solemnly. please mama, can i go with papa? he looks so eager and ben is happy to spend more time with his son but what should be a calm day in the water culminates into a freak storm. although she promises to hold her little family tight, there are times when your grip slackens. the days afterwards are wrought with nausea, sick with grief, so she thinks.

if it hadn't been for her sister in law, penelope would have feared for the worst. seraphine's offer to let her stay in her cottage until she could land on her feet is kind, and its even kinder that she does not rescind it when she finds out pen is with child. she is by her side when she gives birth to the last of their little family, gwendolyn riddell. some people are nasty and their cruel speculation brings about baseless rumours.

now, her heart still aches for her boys. every fibre of her being is tainted with grief, missing them both dearly despite having long completed their journey to the pearly gates. but pen has no intention of losing herself in her grief, knowing she has a young daughter to take care of. she will not make the mistake of letting go again. to support her and her daughter, pen works at fortnum and mason.

tldr; a single mom, working at fortnum and masons to support her daughter while being sad about losing her husband and son < / 3

personality

pen has a motherly disposition, bleed through of her parenting style. she’s nurturing and warm — always happy to offer a kind word or wrap you in a warm hug if need be. she also makes a mean mug of soup.

having suffered loss after loss, pen prefers to hold what she loves to her chest. over-protective, maybe. cautious is what she’d rather say. she doesn’t chase adventures like her boys had been. practical-minded, she’d rather keep her feet on the ground.

she loves to doodle. the thought of being an artist never crossed her pragmatic mind, but she does love the idea of painting.

if she finds that you’re a little too wild for her speed or she does not like your conversation, she will curl into herself and shrink. she has a tendency to become dry.

wanted connections

flirty customers idk maybe they only come to fortnum and masons and buy the overpriced cheese because they wanna see the milfs

friends of her late husband! he was a sailor!
