Illicit Affairs

CHAPTER ONE. Welcome Back

A Hope Mikaelson x Penelope Park (Henelope) Fic "Don't call me kid, don't call me baby."

Word Count: 2k words

Summary. Inspired by an old tweet I saw just after the second season of Legacies aired. In which Penelope had returned to Mystic Falls after all, only to realise Josie had moved on. Her so-called romance with a forgotten friend is only a ploy to make her ex-girlfriend jealous, never intending to go as far as it does.

A/N. Honestly this is a fic I've wanted to write for a while now. I actually haven't checked, but I imagine Henelope doesn't get a lot of love since they literally interacted twice the entire show lmao. Also please forgive me if some of this is a little inaccurate to the show, it's been a while since my last rewatch of Legacies!

Penelope wasn’t sure whether it was the circumstances that made her irritated by seemingly everything or if it was just Mystic Falls High. The school receptionist typing away at a computer likely older than Penelope herself, the ticking of a clock prehistoric in appearance.

8:55am, it read. Penelope frowned, it was far too early to be awake, especially while her body was still combating a severe case of jet lag. How long had she been waiting now? The email she’d gotten after enrolling last night had asked her to arrive at the reception at 8:30, it wouldn’t surprise her if they’d just forgotten about her. She contemplated asking the receptionist, who Penelope was about seventy percent certain was playing a flash game instead of actually doing any work.

She didn’t want to be here, pulling at a loose thread on her chair, trying hard to ignore the oddly stale scent in the air that threatened to make her nauseous. Still, this had been the agreement she’d decided on with her parents, she could come back to Mystic Falls without them, but she had to continue going to school - they just hadn’t specified what school.

Never in a million years would she have imagined she’d be going to a public school of all places, but anywhere sounded better than the Salvatore School right now. She couldn’t go back there, not after what had happened last night.

The plan had been to surprise Josie with her return. After the way their goodbye had gone, Penelope had assumed Josie would be thrilled to have her back. Sure, maybe they wouldn’t have gotten back together, but she’d just been excited at the idea of seeing her again.

But seeing her with someone else? With Landon Kirby of all people?

At least they hadn’t seen her, that Penelope had spotted them first. She’d managed to preserve her pride so far, but she wouldn’t have stood a chance if they’d known she’d seen them. That was the only silver lining she could see for now, but she didn’t feel optimistic enough to try and think of any others. It was a shitty situation, nothing could fix it.

Josie had been the only reason Penelope had even returned, wanting to warn her about the Merge, wanting to love her in spite of all her flaws and in spite of Lizzie. Her new school in Belgium hadn’t been so bad after all, designed completely for witches, the only downside it had was that there was no Josie. She was too late, Josie had moved on and there was no way Penelope could go back to the boarding school, she couldn’t stand seeing her and Landon together again.

The worst part was that she had no real place to be angry or hurt; Penelope had already broken up with Josie, long before she’d even left for Belgium, she’d broken her heart first - so this was what it felt like, karma stung more than Penelope would’ve liked. 

She’d never actually been broken up with before, or rejected, but she got the feeling her situation with Josie was more painful than any other kind of heartbreak could be. It wasn’t that neither of them cared, Penelope had just messed up and it was too late to fix it.

It was her own fault, she’d caused this.

Penelope had hardly had the time to give much thought to the other girl she’d seen near the mill that night, right after she’d left Josie and Landon. The girl was a student - maybe? - but not one that Penelope recognised, she’d simply chalked her down to being a new transfer, she didn’t look young enough to be a freshman, probably around Penelope’s age.

The girl was the last of her worries though, just as she had been last night. Besides, Penelope doubted that she’d even see her again, she didn’t intend on going anywhere near the boarding school.

“The principal will see you now, Miss Park.” The school receptionist mercifully tore Penelope from her thoughts before she could wallow in any more self-pity. 

Penelope nodded, standing up from her seat in the waiting room, boots squeaking as they made contact with the rubber floors. She grimaced at the harsh sound, approaching the door to the headmaster’s office, reading over the newly placed name plate.

‘Principal A. Saltzman’

It didn’t come as a complete surprise to Penelope, she’d known Alaric had taken a job in Mystic Falls High. Perhaps she hadn’t known it was the job of principal, but it made sense, considering he’d been the headmaster at the Salvatore school. Still, that didn’t take away the dreadful awkwardness that she knew would come with having to talk to her ex-girlfriend’s father.

With a near inaudible sigh, Penelope knocked on the door, waiting for permission from the man inside before she entered the office, unsure of what to expect.

“Take a seat, Penelope.” Alaric gestured towards the empty seat across from his side of the desk, hitting the witch with an odd sense of deja vu from her first day at the Salvatore Boarding School. It felt like forever ago now, since she’d first convinced her parents to allow her to move from her home in New Orleans to a small town in Virginia.

Sitting down, Penelope wouldn’t even dare to look Alaric in the eye, out of.. What? Embarrassment? Guilt? She couldn’t pinpoint it exactly, but both seemed to apply. Embarrassed she’d believed Josie would just take her back, guilty they’d even broken up in the first place. Penelope wondered if Alaric knew about Josie and Landon, if the kiss she’d witnessed the night before had been the first of many to come or if they’d been together since Penelope had left for Belgium.

The silence in the room was deafening, as Alaric quietly flicked through his computer screen, likely looking through Penelope’s files from her last two schools. 

She wondered if Alaric resented her, for everything that had happened. She’d never had to worry about that when she first broke up with Josie. While he’d been the headmaster at Salvatore’s, there’d been no room for him to take sides and if anything, Penelope wasn’t sure she’d ever seen him take Josie’s side - it was obvious he struggled to balance being a father and a headmaster all at once.

But now, they were in a different school, where maybe he could allow his love towards his daughters to take the forefront more often. Despite her silent disagreements Penelope had towards Alaric, mainly ones that involved him not telling Lizzie and Josie about the merge, she actually liked him. Surprisingly - even to her - she’d actually be quite disheartened if he treated her differently.

Eventually, Penelope cleared her throat, “Why did you leave the boarding school?” She asked, leaning back in her seat. In a way, she was relieved Alaric was her headmaster again, she didn’t feel like trying to suss out a brand new person.

Alaric was too occupied with the computer to look up, although Penelope didn’t take offence, she knew what he was like and it was just nice to have some sense of familiarity after everything that had happened since she’d come back.

“I thought the school would be more suited to a headmaster that can help better than I can.” He explained vaguely after a pause, looking up from the screen in front of him.

She let out a quiet burst of laughter, it had never been a secret that Alaric was ill-equipped when it came to running a school of supernatural teenagers. “You mean someone who’s not a human, right?” Penelope asked, earning a glare from Alaric.

“Penelope.” He began in a hiss, “You don’t know who could be listening.”

Penelope only shrugged in response, although she knew he was right, so she decided not to press any further. Even if she was hurting more than she’d care to admit, she knew throwing the rest of her former classmates under the bus would be unfair. Perhaps the council had stopped vampire hunting years ago, but there was no use in risking it.

“You applied for your enrollment quite late.” Alaric noted, looking up from his screen to shoot her a knowing glance. Maybe this Josie and Landon thing had been going on for a while. “Last night, to be exact. You’re lucky I recognised your name.”

Penelope could only pray that Alaric wouldn’t mention Josie. She wasn’t sure she could handle even the mention of her former girlfriend’s name right now.

She chose not to offer an explanation, to be safe, “So can I still enrol?” Penelope asked nonchalantly, like she had other options. Technically, she could go back to Belgium, but how would she even explain what had happened to her parents? They’d had no idea about her and Josie and for good reason, they never would have approved of the relationship.

Alaric nodded, “You can, but I don’t understand, Penelope.” He answered, finally tearing his full attention away from the computer, resting his arms on the desk he sat at, “You fit in well at the boarding school, you were well liked.. I just don’t see what you gain from coming here instead.”

Shifting uncomfortably in her seat, Penelope sat up straight. “Maybe I want a different experience.” She shot back, just about managing to hold back her sarcasm. She made a point of lowering her voice as she continued, “Besides, it’s not like I need help controlling my magic, I grew up around witches in the French Quarter.”

“And you’re sure there’s not another reason?” Alaric asked, as though he already knew but was just waiting for Penelope to confess the truth.

Penelope nodded in response; a lie that Alaric appeared to see right now.

He paused uncertainly, “Have you spoken to Josie since you got back? I know she missed having you around school.” Alaric commented, a statement that caused Penelope’s heart to sink.

She didn’t want to think about how Josie must’ve felt after she left, their tearful goodbye had been painful enough. She wondered how long it had taken after that for her to grow close with Landon, if he was just a rebound or if Josie really loved him - neither option was preferable.

“No, I broke up with her, remember?” Penelope clarified, feigning disinterest. She almost immediately dropped the act, more so out of shame rather than the fact that she was talking to Josie’s father. He probably didn’t think very highly of her after she broke his daughter’s heart the first time around. “If I see her, I’ll say hi..”

Seemingly satisfied with the answer he’d been given, Alaric momentarily returned his attention back towards the computer, clicking and typing a few times before he spoke, “Then congratulations, Penelope, you’re officially a student at Mystic Falls High.” He announced, not bothering to lace his tone with enthusiasm, he knew it was the last thing Penelope wanted.

With another click at the computer, a sheet of paper appeared from the printer behind Alaric’s desk, the machinery making a soft buzz. He turned around in his chair to grab the paper, handing it to Penelope. “This has your timetable and your locker number.” He stated, pointing towards each area where the necessary information was located.

Taking the paper in her hands, Penelope quickly skimmed over the information, enough to know that her first lesson of the day was History. She nodded, “Thanks, Alaric.” Penelope acknowledged.

“That’s Mr Saltzman to you.” Alaric corrected her half-heartedly. He shook his head, knowing that she wouldn’t listen, Penelope had been too close to Josie and the rest of the Saltzman family - excluding Lizzie, of course - to even consider Alaric an authority figure. “Just be careful what you call me around the other students.”

Penelope nodded again, humming in amusement as she stood up from her seat. “Yeah, sure.” She mumbled, gathering her things and folding up the sheet Alaric had given her, “I guess I’ll see you around then."

For the first time during the entire exchange, Alaric offered Penelope a smile. Strangely enough, Penelope found it reassuring, easing nerves she didn’t know she had about her first day, “Good luck today.” He said, “And welcome back to Mystic Falls.”

[whyislenaluthorsohot]

So I'm making a Legacies fic in which Jed, Landon, Penelope, and Hope are siblings and were abused during their childhood. To reveal said abuse and shit I am going to have them de-aged however I cannot make up my mind if I want their present selves to turn into kids or to have their kid selves appear.

If you have a suggestion for a way to do this that I didn't list, drop it in the replies

Update: 9/20/2023; Deadass forgot about this shit. Story will happen eventually

Josie shakes her head in frustration, “I don’t know why you can’t just be nice to people.”

“And I don’t know why you let everyone walk all over you,” Penelope shouts, “I guess we’ll never understand each other again.”

“We never did,” Josie says as she turns around to walk back to her room. She sees something moving towards her and everything goes black.

I'm Always Funny. You're Just Not Smart Enough To Keep Up. (Teaser!)

Max Verstappen X reader

Danny Ricciardo X reader platonic.

Not sure if anyone here is an F1 fan but I've recently gotten into F1 and I've started writing a small fanfiction of Max Verstappen Fake relationship Au! Please tell me if you like this and want the rest of it! Enjoy~

Max had just broken up with his long time girlfriend Kelly Piquet. 

They had disagreed on their future plans and had decided it would be better to part ways. It was an amicable split and Max still visited Penelope. However, the media wasn’t kind to him, not that it usually was.

Fans were in a roar over the split calling him all sorts of names for the past seven months.

It wasn’t too bad until the sponsors started to look a bit concerned over the state of the media.

Y/N, being a small town girl from Perth Australia, knew Daniel Ricciardo from when she was younger. His sister Michelle would babysit Y/N from time to time and that's how she came to meet the ever enthusiastic personality that was Daniel.

Daniel, alongside Michelle, had been like an older sibling to Y/N. He would always visit her or text her to catch her up on his state of affairs. 

After his ill-fated departure from Mclaren, to which Y/N was still fuming over. He had spent two months back in Australia, lounging around before Y/N and Michelle told him to get back into what he really loved.

Sure enough, Daniel returned to RedBull as a reserve driver alongside his old teammate Max Verstappeh and Sergio “Checo” Perez.

It was at this point Max had been receiving scalding comments and the Public Relations (PR) Manager had decided it would be a good idea for Max to date someone new with good media presence. Someone who the fans were bound to like.

That is exactly where Y/N came in. She had been featured on Daniel's social media before and made small cameo’s on RedBull and Mclaren videos, wishing Danny luck in his races or even supporting him in person.  

~~~~~~

Max walked alongside Y/N at a brisk pace. They were wading through the crowd of press just before the paddock and after the car park. Y/N was slightly uncomfortable with the firm grip that Max had on her hand but refrained from speaking up. He, after all, was paying her salary, so to speak. 

“Smile,” Max grunted out. Nodding at the press and giving half smiles in a seemingly out of character style. 

Y/N, who was already smiling hissed through her teeth.

“The hell you think I'm doin’ mate?” She then turned slightly away to wave at the photographers,

“Morning! Hope you’re all well rested! Make sure to drink enough water too!” She called out to the mass of people. Y/N understood that these people had to make a living and if you were nicer to them, they were bound to return the favour, although that was easier said than done.

Verstappen kept a pleasant expression as he continued to walk past people, signing hats along the way. 

“When can we stop this damn circus act?” He hissed into her ear, his voice sounding like the grind of gravel. 

“Whenever your PR Manager lets us.” She replied, her smile unfaltering as she kept walking beside him.

“This is all a stupid waste of money and time.” He grumbled under his breath. “This whole relationship thing and the sponsors.” Y/N cocked her head knowingly and replied,

"You need those sponsors and so does RedBull. Anyways, don’t give me a hard time because of it, yeah? I’m just doing my job to the best of my ability.” It wasn't as if she didn't want the money, however she also did it to help out Danny. Apparently the situation had made Max a little crabby.

Max sighed, “You have no idea who many different people we have to play happy couple for to satisfy the sponsors.” to which Y/N smirked and retorted with.

“I dunno, maybe the whole world, Mr Formula 1 World Champion?” Max rolled his eyes dismissively, effectively losing his facade.

“Do you know how much the sponsors pay me to keep you around? Don’t smart mouth me man.” He spat out, scowling and crossing his arms defensively. He pointed at the camera’s who had now turned back to you at the suddenly escalating conversation as moths were drawn to light.

Luckily they hadn’t heard the conversation, only seen the wild gestures that Max had thrown out in exasperation. 

Y/N, being the quick thinker she was, gently patted his shoulder and stepped closer to him,

“Calm down mate, they’re looking at us. Let’s just get inside the paddock yeah? Then we can argue when we get to the motor home.” She whispered slowly, hoping to ease his stress.

“Whatever, " Verstappen muttered, his voice ever harsh and monotonous.

He led her by the small of her back past the photographers and past the gates and into the paddock. He kept you firmly by his side while remaining silent. It seemed like he wasn’t going to talk until they were both tucked into a private building. Or as private as it would get.

As they briskly walked by, they passed some children who were staring in awe at Max. Y/N smiled at the children and tugged on his short sleeve gently.

“Max, give them an autograph! Look, they're so cute. This one’s wearing a mini version of your race suit!” She exclaimed, clearly taken by the children who were bubbling with energy.

Max, as a result of Y/N’s excitement, stopped walking and looked over at you with his signature grim expression before seeing the children. His eyes shifted and his expression became light hearted and almost charming.

“Yeah, alright I’ll sign a few things for you guys.” He grinned at the kids that had gathered around began thanking him incredulously in adoration as their favourite Formula one driver signed their shirts and caps.

Max suddenly turned to you with a small smile,

“Here,” he said, handing her a sharpie, “You should sign one too. They’ll like it.” Y/N shook her head, shy from the sudden attention. 

“But I’m not famous like you. They don’t know me.” She turned to the children, sheepish, waiting for them to collectively agree. Yet, to her surprise one of the younger girls reached out to hug her and exclaimed,

“I know you! You’re Max’s girlfriend! My older brother says you’re pretty!” The little girl beamed up at her and pointed at an older male of similar facial structure who was blushing.

Y/N laughed in surprise and smiled brightly at the young girl.

“Hey love! Would you like me to sign your shirt?” She kneeled down to face the girl and all the younger kids. The children that were now surrounding you went crazy, screaming “Yes!” and “Please!”

They held out their belongings for her to sign, clearly overjoyed. She laughed in delight while Max looked on, while chatting to other young fans.

Y/N gave each of them a hug before signing their shirts.

“Oh and here!” She took out a large ziplock bag that was filled to the brim with friendship bracelets she had made for the fans.

“Take these! There’s enough for all of you.” She ruffled the closest childs hair. Max watched in amusement as the children who were absolutely beside themselves, trying on their new bracelets.

“You’re good with the fans,” he said, actually sounding genuine and kind for once. Y/N shook her head, smiling and waving at the children still as they walked away.

“Nah, I just love the kids. I want them to have good memories that build into hope and motivation.” She looked at Max and gave him a small smile.

“That’s very kind of you.” Verstappen replied, sounding surprisingly sincere. They both walked towards the motorhouse and as they reached the entrance Max opened the door for Y/N and signalled for her to enter.

Y/N walked through, thanking him on the way and waved hello while passing all the staff and volunteers of the Red Bull team.

The pair made their way, through all the greetings and then into Max’s room where Max closed the door behind them both and then turned to face Y/N.

“Alright, no more fake smiles or pleasantries. He sighed, “Do you know how long we’re stuck with this whole fake relationship thing?” He asked while plopping down onto his bed, unceremoniously to which Y/N shook her head. She herself was unsure.

“Nope. I was hired for a year-long contract but it wasn’t definitive,” She sighed and sat down on his chair and spun to face him.

“I think it wouldn’t be too bad for us to be friends Max.” She sat forward with her elbows on her knees.

“It’s not like we’re attracted to each other. It would make life easier if we got along, no?" Max stared at her, inquisitive.

“Friends.” He said slowly, almost as if tasting the word before he tilted his head to say,

“Friends don't usually get paid to be with one another.” Max raised his eyebrows.

“But, I guess being friends wouldn't be too bad. It’s not like anything would happen between us anyways.” Y/N nodded and chuckled, 

“I mean, I get paid to pretend to be your girlfriend. We could totally do it from afar y’know?” she shrugged, smiling.

“That sounds like a great idea.” Max said sarcastically. 

“I’ll just yell ‘I love you’ through a megaphone at you from a distance and we’ll keep it going that way.” He smirked mischievously, crossing his arms to which Y/N burst into laughter in sheer surprise. 

“Right! That would get all the fans roaring.” She chuckled loudly, enjoying his dry humour.  She gave him a genuine smile before asking, 

“You’re really funny when you want to be huh?”

Verstappen rolled his eyes with a subtle upturn in lips at your amusement. Y/N had an instinct that he was proud of the reaction he got out of her.

“I’m funny all the time.” He retorted, “You’re just not smart enough to pick up on it.” He said with a cocky smile.

"Yeah! We are awesome." Henry said. Both of the kids high five-ing. They continue to shoot until they got the prize. Jack and Henry was so happy. They both showed it there parents.

He handed it to Reid despite his protest but Morgan was persuasive so Reid just took the gun. He followed my instruction, step back 2x, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aim and fire but he did not hit any of the cup. So you come with him and whispered something in his ears. His eyes widen. You step back with a smirk on your face. He aimed again, taking a deep breathe and shoot. Then BAM! He was able to hit one. He continue until he hit all the cups.

"[Y/N] I am curious what did you tell him?" Rossi asked.

"I told him that if he did not hit the cup I will shoot him in the head." You look at Reid with a teasing smile and he smile at you back. The rest of the team laughed.

You went back at the table with 2 extra prize so you gave it to Jack and Henry.

After the party, JJ and Henry has to go because Henry is already sleepy and tired. Reid also said good bye and joined JJ. Morgan and Penelope has to go as well because Penelope has a date and Rossi also needs to go because he is also having a date with the future 4th wife. Hotch thanks all of them for coming. You stayed to help Hotch cleaning up.

"We are fine, you can go if you need to." He told you.

"Its fine, I dont have any plans." You said while putting away the cake in the box.

When everything was cleaned up you help him and Jack to bring there things to the car. When everything was settled both of them said good bye.

"Jack you say good bye to [Y/N]" Hotch told him

"Good bye, [Y/N]. Thank you for the gifts" He said with a big child smile.

"You're welcome, Jack. Happy Birthday!" You told him.

"Thank you for all your help" Hotch said.

"You're welcome, Aaron." You answered, still not used on calling him on his first name but his smile upon hearing his name make you smile as well.

"How are you going home?" He asked.

"I have a motorcycle." You point the motorcycle parking at the other side of the parking lot.

"You have a motorcycle?" Jack said enthusiastically.

"Yes! I like riding them because they are fast." You said

"I like them too! Can I ride it?" He asked you, almost pleading. You look at Aaron but you know that he is skeptical but does not want to disappoint his son on his birthday. "Of course but not today because I dont have another helmet for you and it is not safe to ride a motorcycle with out the proper gear. How about I visit you at your house when I have the gear and let's have a spin?" You told him as gentle as possible. His eyes widen with joy and nod profusely.

"That is if your dad is ok with it." You added and both of you look at Aaron. You nudge Jack to mimic you and give Aaron a puppy eyes. He looked at both of you seriously.

"Fine" He said defeated. But all of a sudden Hotch's phone ring. He answers it. You both know what is it. He ended the call and look at you.

"Its a case. Lets meet at the office in an hour." He said. You nod. You said your goodbye as well and headed to your motorcycle.

Jack and Hotch went inside the car. As Hotch was revving then engine, Jack spoke

"I like [Y/N], dad. She is cool!" Hotch gave out a low chuckle,

"Me too, Jack. Me too"

Author's note: Its a little bit biased but this is one of my fave chapter to write. Its lighthearted and you can see that Aaron was smitten with [Y/N] here.

casting Penelope for CoS

"They had me help cast Penelope! So they basically took a socially awkward, 17yo spotty ginger kid and went and let him choose a girlfriend. It was basically like, 'So, which one do you like, Chris?'"

filming CoS (paraphrased)

apparently there was actual discussion on set about the logistics of "What was Gryffindor Prefect Percy Weasley doing in the Slytherin dungeons? Surely it would make more sense for him to be patrolling near his Common Room", and it just delved into jokes about how in the books when Ron and Harry go to the dungeons to find Draco they come across a blonde Ravenclaw (cough cough penny) not 5 minutes before they come across Percy, and then Draco says something like "yeah, he's down here a lot", which to me is just-- pfffffffffft HAHAHA

FANFICTION

Chris: Have I read Percy fic? Yes. Podcast: Do you wish you hadn't? Chris: Uhhh, it's been a while, if I'm honest. But there were some wonderful Percy/Oliver ones. Chris: And I say wonderful in the sense that I found them absolutely hilarious, and Sean Biggerstaff finds them just... deeply disturbing, and really quite worrying.

the misunderstanding (innuendo is here)

Random listener: If Percy went to a pub on a friday night, what do you think he'd order? Chris: I thought you said "if Percy went to a park on a friday night"(laughing) That would be a whole other scenario! "What would Percy be doing at a park on a friday night?" Chris, singson: Slash Fiction time~~ Oliver's wood. (table proceeds to die laughing)

actual answer: I think a gin and tonic? He's got a 1920s vibe.

Podcast: Any other topics you want to talk/discuss about Percy? Chris, in a very posh and haughty tone: cAuLdRon BoTtOms

Orange Porch Light : Part 5

Coral Island Fanfiction by a Rafael simp. Rafael and OC. I needed more Rafael content so I wrote some for funzies. This is one of the cuter parts of this lil story imo. Work and classes have been kind to me so I've been able to indulge in writing for myself.

This fanfiction is from my google keep. Edited to make sense but not to be fancy :)

Scene setting. Raf and Pab are decorating for the cherry blossom festival. Mayor and Betty are there helping Millie with planning and coordinating the games n shit. Penelope is out walking and sees that stuff is happening in the park, so she wanders that way. Betty and the mayor are all OMG look at all this prep for the festival. They call over Pablo and start talking about him and praising him for all the help he does around the town. Literally the whole time Penelope keeps looking at Rafael who is ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK! So, while the oldies are talking about how amazing Pablo is, Penelope removes herself from the conversation and approaches Rafael who was up on a ladder hanging decorations. As she approached, he came down from the ladder to grab some more decorations. He did not see her.

“Hi Rafael”, Penelope said just as he turned around. He quickly turned, startled but smiled, “oh! Hey Penelope.” “Sorry! Didn't mean to scare you.” He laughed shyly, “ah. No worries. Uhm what are you doing here?” “I was walking and saw that the park was busy.” “Oh yeah. The cherry blossom festival is soon”, he smiled more. “Would you like some help?” Rafael was a little surprised at the offer but as soon as he saw Pablo still surrounded by old people praising him, Rafael sighed, “Uh help would actually be really nice”, he rubbed the back of his neck as he felt himself get flustered, “if you could hand me decorations as I need them, that would be great.” “Sure thing!” Penelope smiled, eager to spend time with him. He climbed back up the ladder and Penelope would pass him whichever decoration he needed next. They chatted and it was easy because they were busy doing work so they could distract from the shared shyness. So, I don't see you out much. What do you do for fun? Rafael leaned forward on the ladder to look down at her, “uh. I watch movies mostly.” Penelope handed him another decoration, “oh yeah? What kind of movies?” He reached up to place the decoration, “Uhm, mostly horror.” Penelope smiled, “do you have a favourite?”

Yeah, uhm, Alakazam, he started to grin, it has a lot of jump scares so its pretty fun.”

Penelope nodded thoughtfully, “I don’t think I’ve seen that one yet.”

Rafael lit up. Yet!? “You like horror too?”

“Yeah, although I think I lean more towards thriller than jump scare”, she smiled Then they started talking excitedly about all their favourite horror movies while they continued decorating the park. Penelope went on a tangent about different directors and their different takes on what makes a thriller and Rafael stared at her dreamily. Penelope noticed he looked a little out of it, "you alright?" Rafael snapped back to reality pink tinting his face, “uh yeah. Let's take a break.” They sat on the grass and looked towards Pablo still getting praised by the old people. Rafael rolled his eyes. “I take it this happens often.” Rafael laughed to himself, “yeah”, he took a drink of water and then held it to Penelope, “Uhm do you want some? I'm sorry I only have my water bottle. Some people think sharing drinks is gross.” Penelope laughed and took the water, “I don't think it's gross unless you're sick.” She took a sip. He grinned relieved. “So, are we gunna have a horror movie marathon on Halloween?” Penelope gave him back the bottle. Rafael lit up, “uh we could! That sounds like fun.” Penelope's smile changed into a more mischievous one, “and then we could dress up in really gory costumes and hide in the woods and scare people!” Rafael's brows went up, Uhm. Maybe...., he laughed nervously. Penelope laughed, “I wouldn't. Well....” Rafael shook his head and took a final sip of water on their break. “So how long is that gunna last”, Penelope pointed to the old people and Pablo. Rafael sighed and looked around the park, “if you want to keep helping me....uh we could probably have the park done before they're done talking.” “Well”, Penelope stood and offered a hand to help Raf up, “shall we get back to it?” Rafael smirked and took her hand but did not use her for help standing, He appreciated the gesture though. Rafael was right, they did finish the park before Pablo was finished being praised. This whole time Penelope kept up with Rafael hauling all the heavy decorations. He was impressed and thankful. Raf hated when Pablo got distracted and then he would do most of this himself. Before long, Penelope and Rafael were done. They stood beside each other admiring their hard work. All that's left is to make sure the lights are connected, Rafael walked towards the power and Penelope followed. The sun had begun to lower so the lights would be somewhat noticeable. He handed her the cables, “would you like to do the honours?” Penelope grinned in excitement, “sure!” Rafael's seen the park lit up before so he peeked at Penelope's expression as soon as everything lit up. “Wow”, she sighed, it's so pretty! Rafael felt his face turning pink. She was so cute it was hard not to stare at her. Finally, he also looked at the lights, “they look even better in the dark.” They smiled at each other and went back to looking at the park. “Thanks for the help, Penelope”, Rafael said rubbing his arm, “I really appreciate it.” Penelope smiled at him, “You’re welcome! This was fun!” Rafael snickered, “I owe you one for sure.” “Oh no don't worry about it.” Pablo came running over to them.

“I'm so sorry Raf!” He cried out of breath, “Betty and Connor wouldn't leave me alone! Let me cook dinner. Penelope, I owe you too. Will you join us?” Penelope shrugged, “uh sure.” “Awesome”, he smiled his big, charming smile, “the park looks great! You two did a great job!”

While Pablo was cooking, Penelope and Rafael hung out in the kitchen and all 3 were chatting. Pablo kept apologizing about Betty and Connor. Rafael brushed off the apologies and Penelope accepted the apologies. Pablo noticed Rafael appeared almost a bit more confident around Penelope. Maybe it was a good thing he slacked off this time. After dinner, Penelope went home, and Pablo cleaned up the dishes as part of his apology to Rafael. Rafael still felt he owed Penelope since he didn't cook the dinner so the next morning, he got up extra early to make some food and go buy coffee. He really hoped Raj knew how Penelope liked her coffee. Thankfully they did and all Rafael had to do was walk to her farm. And not chicken out. Penelope was hard at work, and she didn't notice Rafael until he was at her doorstep. He waved and a confused Penelope dropped what she was doing in her garden and approached him. “Rafael? It's 7 in the morning. What are you doing?” He blushed and handed her the coffee, “I uh wanted to show my appreciation for your help yesterday.” Penelope took the cup, “Rafael. This is so kind of you, but you really didn't---" “I also made extra sashimi”, he interrupted and handed her the container. She just looked at him surprised and he glanced away shyly.

Penelope took a sip of her coffee, “Mmmm, this is perfect.”

“Yeah?” Raf was relieved she said something.

She smiled and nodded.

“Cool, uh. Well, I’ll see you later.”

“See you later.” Although Rafael brought her coffee and lunch earlier today, he still didn't feel like he had thanked Penelope enough but what else could he do? He and Pablo sat in the living room watching TV. Raf, in his ponderings, looked around and noticed it was quite dark outside. Suddenly, Rafael had the most perfect idea and whipped out his phone to text Penelope. He was just dramatic enough that Pablo glanced over his shoulder to see his bro texting like a madman. He didn't ask. Freshly showered and in her snuggly pajamas, Penelope was getting ready for a cozy solo movie night. She had a beer ready, some popcorn ready, and her squishmallow, Francine on the couch. Before she cracked the beer, she noticed her phone had a message. Oh, from Rafael? <Can you meet me at the park? It's urgent> Penelope was worried. What could've happened??? Did something happen with the decorations?? She didn’t ask, he said it was urgent. <Be there in 10> She threw some shoes on and bolted out in her jammies. What could be urgent this late? It was so dark Penelope was squinting to try and see Rafael anywhere. “Rafael?” She called out to the void, “Is everything okay?” All the lights suddenly came on. Penelope gasped in awe; the lights were so much prettier in the dark. Caught up in the surprise and the beauty Penelope wandered the park admiring the decorations. Pink petals danced around her in the chilly spring night air, and she was caught up in the magic. Penelope finally saw Rafael standing by the power generator and she smiled at him. “Rafael, this is really beautiful. But you had me worried. I thought something was wrong.” “Uh sorry”, Rafael rubbed his neck, “I wanted to surprise you.” Penelope laughed and approached him, “why?” “I wanted you to see the lights when it was dark. Uhm when it's not busy. Like tomorrow will be. As a proper thank you. For the help yesterday.” Penelope smiled but omg, “Rafael, the coffee this morning was enough. Seriously.” Rafael just made a hmm noise in disagreement. Penelope shook her head and walked around a little more to admire the lights that were all for her tonight. He finally noticed what she was wearing, “Uhm. Are those pajamas?” Penelope face palmed realizing she booked it here in her jammies, “yes. Because you said it was urgent ...” Rafael smirked a bit embarrassed, “ah I'm sorry.” Her jammies were so cute, fuzzy with little duckies all over them. “Do you always wear such cute pajamas?” He asked without thinking. Penelope rolled her eyes and answered without thinking, “I usually don't wear any.” Rafael coughed not wanting to picture that but also really wanting to picture that. “Oh! Uhm.” His voice was higher, “uh. Caught you on a good night then??” Penelope started to laugh so hard which helped Rafael come down from whatever high he went on and he joined the laughter albeit awkward because he was still fighting the mental image. “This is much prettier at night”, Penelope finally said, “thanks for showing me.” Rafael was blushing hard, “no problem. Sorry I made it sound like an emergency.” Penelope elbowed him, “yeah don't make it sound like an emergency next time. I'll still show up.” Raf gulped.....next time?? She wants there to be a NEXT TIME! He rubbed the back of his neck, he was so flustered, “got it ... no fake emergencies.”

They turned off the lights and strolled together to the graveyard. Rafael was still flustered but managed to maintain some composure.

“I’ll see you at the festival tomorrow?” Penelope half asked as she wasn’t sure if Rafael attends festivals.

He rubbed his neck, “yeah.”

“Cool”, she smiled, “sweet dreams.”

“Sweet dreams”, he stuttered.

Penelope was more embarrassed that she ran out in her pajamas to realize how romantic the whole evening was. This realization hit her like a ton of bricks as she stepped on to the first bridge near her home. Was that a romantic gesture???????!!!!!!! Because she’s an idiot, she decided to ignore this question and have a stronger drink for her solo movie night.

Pablo was upstairs when Rafael got in.

“Oh, where did you go?” he asked in passing.

“Nothing!” Rafael stammered and disappeared into his room. Pablo did not ask.

Another Round

Request: A cute Penelope Park x reader where you're a vampire or werewolf and she's always using her magic to win playful fights and stuff so you tickle her to stop her for once with a fluffy ending please 

Pairing: Penelope Park x Reader

A/N: My first time writing for her. Let me know what you think.

/

Your head hits the floor with a loud thud, your mouth hanging open as you pant. Penelope hovers over you with a smirk so mischievous that your heart skips a beat. Maybe asking your girlfriend to spar was a bad idea but you needed a partner to practice with.

“Told you I always win.” She says with confidence as she flicks her wrist and your hands slaps down on the ground and you can’t move. “Haven’t you learnt that yet?”

Your lips stretch into a smile and you try to break free, using your vampire strength but the spell is stronger.

“This is not fair.” You say and Penelope flips her hair and stands up, looking down at you with her arms crossed over her chest.

“Oh baby, everything’s fair in love and war.” 

Your nose scrunches up as an idea pops into your head. 

“Oh really?” 

Your feet moves before Penelope notices and you sweep her off her feet - literally. The spell is broken as she begins to fall with a gasp but you catch her before she hits the ground. Now it’s your turn to smirk at her.

“Were you saying something, darling?” You joke and kiss the top of her nose, laughing when Penelope pushes your shoulders and you roll the both of you over, landing on your back with her on top of you.

She finally smiles and leans down to kiss you but lingers before her lips touches yours. “Oh, we’re not done.” 

Your eyes widen when her lips starts moving, mumbling the same spell that trapped you down before but you move quicker. You kiss her deeply, swallowing her words as you roll over, pinning her down under you and straddling her waist.

“You little -” You murmur playfully as you pull away and dig your fingers into her sides until she starts to howl with laughter. You smile widely as she squirms around and you don’t let up until she panting for air. 

“Stop using your magic on me!” You whine as she calms down with a sweet smile and you bend your arms until you are breathing in the same air. Her head cocks to the side.

“That’s not what you said last night.” The smirk is back in full force and you feel your face redden at the reminder. You groan and bury your face into the crock of her neck and she laughs, wrapping her arms around you. 

“Oh my god, you’re incorrigible.” 

“Only for you, baby.” You hear a smile in her tone and you blow a raspberry on her skin. She shrieks and you pull away, looking at her lovingly.

“Let’s go back to my dorm. It’s late.” You say and stand up, pulling her up from the floor. She puffs as she fixes her hair and dust her dress off, you watching her every step. You hold out your hand but she shakes her head.

“Na-ah, not before you say it.” 

You roll your eyes and give in. “You won.”

“...annnddd?”

“Again.” You puff out a breath. “You’ve won, again.”

A smile lights up her face as she hops in place and walks toward the gym door. 

“And don’t you forget it.” 

The hard slap to your butt rings out loudly as you gasp and spin around. She shrieks as she starts to run, with you hot on her tail. 

The End.

Prompt: Penelope convinces Josie to sneak out past curfew for a quick date.

Pairing: Penelope x Josie (Posie)

A/N: This is for @over--loaded who is obsessed with Legacies. I hope you like this boo, hopefully, it gay enough for you! You tease me about my writing and you will never get any more fanfics. LOVE YOU! Also, Hope and Landon are endgame.

It was dinner time at the Salvatore School and all the students were crammed inside the dining hall. Josie absent minded pushed her food around her tray as Liz continued to ramble on about the latest gossip. If it were any other day, she would be trying harder to appear like she was paying attention but tonight, she had other things on her mind. A chill went up her spine as she bit her lip to hide a smile. Subtly sitting up a little taller, she scanned the room and her cheeks turned a slight pink when her gaze met Penelope Park’s. 

Miss Penelope Park was the newest witch to join the Salvatore School and she caught Josie’s eye immediately. And apparently, she caught Penelope’s if all the slight touches and secret whispers meant anything. It was something about Penelope, something about her green eyes and cocky smirk that made Josie’s inside twist up in knots, and she wasn’t quite sure she wanted it to go away. Penelope gave Josie a little wink from across the room and let out a little chuckle when Josie got so flustered and dropped her fork loudly against her plate.

“Jo! Are you even listening to me?” Liz whined. Noticing that Liz was most likely scolding Josie, Penelope’s face fell and she looked ready to make her way over to them. Giving her a slight shake of her head, Josie fully turned to Liz to give her her attention again.

“Yeah, of course. You were talking about Hope.”

“Yeah! Can you believe that dad is taking her on a trip again?! He won’t even tell me why they’re going. Why can’t he take us out every once in a while?!”

“Well, last time he took us out towards the woods, you started complaining within ten minutes.”

Sneaking a glance at where Penelope was, Josie realized that she wasn’t there anymore. Sitting up to search the room, she couldn’t find her anywhere in the room. Slumping down in her seat, Josie started pouting and jabbing her food. She didn’t like how upset she was that Penelope wasn’t in the room. Ever since their little dance started, Josie noticed that she lived for the next small moment she could steal with Penelope. 

First, it was accidentally bumping into each other then it was not so accidentally sneaking some small kisses outside of their rooms after dark. Josie was always a goodie two shoes. Always listened to orders and never broke any rules but since Penelope has come around…. well, she could turn red if she had to tell everything she has down.

“Well doesn’t matter anyway what we say, dad will always pick Hope to go with him. It’s fine, I have prom to worry about anyway.” Liz stood up with a humph as she took her tray towards the trash. It was getting close to curfew when everyone had to settle back into their respective rooms for the night. Everyone around them started getting up and suddenly the dining room was a maze to get out of. Josie had to squeeze through people and carefully walk around play fighting boys. Somewhere along the way, Josie lost Liz in the crowd. Figuring she would just meet up with her back in their room, she gave a little shrug to herself and heading out.

Since dinner was still technically going on, the hallways towards the rooms were practically empty. A few students scurried by as they headed to their rooms. Keeping to herself as she walked, she let out a yelp as she felt a hand wrap around her wrist and yank her into a room to her right. It was a dark room so she couldn’t see who was in there with her but she could definitely sense them. She was struggling against the hand still holding her wrist when she felt the person’s other hand come up and clamp down on her lips. Her yelps of alarm were muffled behind the hand and a warm chill went up her spine as she felt a warm breath caress her ear.

“Hey now, it’s just me.” Penelope’s velvet voice said quietly. Penelope’s hand released Josie’s wrist and it slid around her waist to pull her closer but she didn’t move her hand from Josie’s lips.

“Now, if I let my hand go will you play nice and stay quiet?”

Letting out a shaky breath, Josie nodded and felt her other hand fall away from her mouth and also go around her waist.

It was still dark and Josie couldn’t even see the tip of her nose.

Whispering to match Penelope’s tone, she asked, “Where are we?”

Without moving, Penelope answered, “Janitor’s closet. Janitor went on his break about five minutes ago. Figured we could put this room to good use.”

Josie’s hands fell and rested again Penelope’s collarbone, “What are we doing here?”

“Just wanted to check if you thought about my little invitation.”

“Penelope! You know we have a curfew, we can’t leave our rooms let alone leave school!” Josie whispered, worried that someone might overhear and find them.

“I know, but what’s a little fun? We wouldn’t be leaving the school grounds so we’ll be safe.” “I don’t think so, if we get caught we could get in a lot of trouble.”

Penelope’s arms wrapped tighter around Josie and she inhaled a shaky breath when you felt Penelope lean in closer and felt her lips come in an inch away from touching.

“Come now Jo Jo, be a little rebel with me.”

With Penelope being this close, Josie couldn’t think straight. She could barely register what Penelope was saying, she just wanted to kiss her. Josie’s eyes were starting to slide shut.

“Ummm, I not sure …uhhh ... I just don’t think....,”

She moves in a little closer, “Someone a little scaredy cat?”

“N-no I’m not…”

“Hmmm didn’t think so. Come with me. I promise it’ll be fun. I’ll keep you safe if anything happens just … come with me.” She was still whispering.

“Okay.” At that moment, Josie would have agreed with anything Penelope asked of her.

Their lips barely grazed before Penelope pulled back and simply held Josie while she got her bearings. Josie was shocked and slightly unstable at the sudden change and nearly toppled over. In the dark, Josie could hear Penelope’s soft chuckle as she keeps her from falling. Opening the door slightly, Penelope checked if the coast was clear before pulling both of them out from the dark room. Josie had to blink her eyes to readjust to the light and Penelope leaned up and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

“11 o’clock. I’ll be waiting out outside your window whenever you’re ready.” Without waiting for an answer, Penelope turned and walked down the hall leaving Josie very red and flustered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Josie was laying uncomfortably still in the dark as she listened carefully for Liz’s breathing. It was getting close to 11 and she didn’t want to Penelope waiting outside. She had an unnerving feeling in her stomach at the thought of sneaking out but also a rush of excitement. Waiting until she heard Liz snore softly, she looked over her shoulder and saw Liz sprawled out on her bed across the room.

Carefully, Josie started to sit up and pull the covers off her as quietly as she cold. I grabbed her jacket that she laid out on her chair by the bed and tiptoed her way towards the window. Looking outside, Josie saw that Penelope was already waiting there. Josie slowly unlatched the lock on the window and started to pop it open. The wooden frame groaned under the moment causing Liz to stir and rustle in her sleep.

Freezing, Josie looked over her shoulder and prayed that Liz would stay asleep. She let out a shaky sigh of relief when the girl started snoring even louder this time. Turning back towards the window, through the pane, her gaze met Penelope’s who was now standing there looking up at her with her arms crossed, an eyebrow arched, her smirk in place and laughter twinkled in her eyes. Cautiously cracking open the window, Josie slid it open wide enough for her to wiggle through.

Unfortunately, her room was on the second floor and she knew she would have to jump out of her window. It wasn’t that far or a way’s down but it was enough for her to hesitate. She got half of her body out of the window and sat straddling the window frame as she contemplated her next move.

“You coming or what?” Penelope said in a hush, playful tone.

“I’m going! Just give me a second!” Taking in a deep breath, Josie looked at Liz one last time to ensure she was still sleeping before she swung her other leg out and jumped.

She miscalculated her jump and ended up landing right on Penelope and knocked them both down on the ground. Penelope let out a groan as she took the blunt of the hit on her back and Josie flopped down right on top of her. Quickly coming up on her arms, Josie looked down her Penelope with wide eyes of concern.

“Oh my god! I’m so sorry! Are you alright?!”

“If you wanted to get on top of me, you could have just asked. I wouldn’t picked a less violent scenario but I gotta say, I love the outcome.”

Josie rolled her eyes as she gave Penelope a quick kiss on the nose causing Penelope to laugh at her as they both moved to get up.

“Come on, follow me. I found like place out in the woods that’s really cool.” Penelope grabbed Josie’s had, looked around quickly and pulled her towards the forest.

Josie kept up a slight jog to keep up and wrapped down her arms around Penelope’s. Her heart was beating so loud with adrenaline and she was having the time of her life. “You’re not going to try and kill me now would you?” she teased.

“Why would I do that? What benefit would I get from killing the most beautiful girl in school. You would be so much better hanging onto my arm everywhere we went.” Josie was thankful it was dark out and it was hard to see because she was sure her face was red as a tomato.

After a few minutes of follow Penelope blindly, they suddenly come out into an opening where a huge lake was peacefully still. What caught Josie’s eye was the small blanket laid out with a picnic basket and two candles lit set up near the water bank. Pulling her along, they reached the blanket and carefully sat down careful not to knock anything over.

“What’s all this?” Josie asked in a quiet voice.

“I thought a little midnight snack would be nice.” Penelope gave her a smile when she saw the awe on Josie’s face. She opened the picnic basket and started the pull out various small finger sandwiches, a bowl of cut up fruits and even a box of chocolates. They both sat with their legs stretched out in front of them and Penelope set the food in between them.

Pour two glasses of champagne that somehow fit inside that basket, Penelope handed a glass to Josie and made a toast, “To our first date and hopefully, to many more.”

She was taking a sip and watching Josie over the rim of her glass when Josie teasingly asked, “Oh so this is a date?”

“Well I would hope so or else this would be a little awkward.”

“It’s really nice, truly. I didn’t think you were going to do something this … fancy.” She shyly looked down at her glass and let her hair fall and be a veil covering her face.

Penelope reaches up and push her hair out of the way and behind Josie’s ear. She slid her hand down and softly wrapped it around the side of Josie’s neck, nudging Josie to look up at her. She smirked when she saw her blush spread and turn her little nose pink. She had leaned in close to Josie so when Josie looked up, their noses were barely grazing against each other.

“I had to. I don’t just do this for everyone you know?”

“Really?” They were both whispered almost afraid that if they spoke too loudly, it would wake them from this dream like moment.

“I like you. Like … like you like you, Josie. I don’t do things like this for just anyone.” They let out a little chuckle at her childlike words but Josie couldn’t keep her hopefulness and ecstatic emotions from show on her face.

“I like you too. And I never sneak out or anything like that for anyone before.”

A smile pulled on Penelope’s lips, “Good. Am I corrupting the prissy good girl?”

“You’re a bad influence.” Josie teased back as she leaned forward, her eyes slowly closing.

“Hmmm, maybe I should go then.”

“If you do, I’ll kill you.”

“Go out with me.”

Slightly shocked at Penelope’s desperate tone, Josie leaned back an inch and looked at her with hooded eyes. “What?”

“Go out with me. Officially. Be my girlfriend. I want to be able to take you out and show you off in front of everyone. I’m not playing games anymore.”

A smile spread across Josie’s face, “If you think you can handle me.”

“Oh honey, I’ll do anything to get you.”

Josie felt her heart sing and she truly felt happy and free. “Okay, let’s be official.” She gave Penelope a sweet smile before she cupped her face with both hands and pulled her closer until their lips finally met.

Early History

Penelope Park is the daughter of an English witch, Lauren Park, and an Indonesian professor/archeologist, Kabul Mentari. She grew up traveling the world with her parents wherever her father's work took him and grew up hearing tales of Indonesian mythology. When she was young, something happened at a dig site that left her without any memories of the incident and a broken leg. After that, her parents decided to stop traveling and set down roots in the United States. At some point, her father's called back to Indonesia but doesn't return home, leading her and her mom to believe he died due to a series of storms taking place there. The loss severely impacts the duo and causes Penelope's magic to come in. With the emergence of her magic, her mother self-taught her for a year before a representative from the Salvatore school came knocking on their door.

After traveling and taking a tour of the school, Penelope was enrolled and quickly became one of the top witches over time. However, she initially clashed with Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, whose attitudes she disliked. When she was 8, another set of fraternal twins was newly admitted to the school, Hope and Harmony Marshall. She was initially interested and intrigued by them, especially with their different personalities and how they dealt with the Saltzman twins (Hope wanting nothing to do with them while Harmony strikes up their friendship). Penelope wanted to be friends with Hope, but she seemed a bit secluded and only left alone to minimally socialize unless her sister made her or Alaric was working with her. However, Harmony caught her attention when word spread around the school that she spelled Alaric to go flying into the quarry by the school. Using a few well-placed spells, she learned Harmony did so out of anger in the twins' defense when he didn't wait for her to get the twins so they can join her and Hope's sparring session with their dad. She did her own "investigation" on her and realized things were amiss, like how the spying spells she placed in their dorm were deactivated, that they were a little too good at magic, or the fact that every time Harmony got angry - there were either rain or storms. Penelope had an idea in which she disguised a dark magic spell to look like a simple one and realized Harmony might be from a powerful bloodline - and very few feel at home practicing Dark Magic. The next time she used a spying spell, it rebounded on her, revealing that it was Harmony who was deactivating the spell and wanted to be friends with her, which Penelope reciprocated.

Penelope and Harmony became fast friends and partners in crime. In December 2020, through Harmony, she befriended the new girl, Alyssa Chang - a witch who magic killed her family and destroyed her house. Like Harmony, she felt a bit of pity for the girl whose story was run throughout the school long before she arrived (which she didn't doubt was one of the Saltzmans' doing) but found the witch almost just on her level of cunning with an explosive temper that she could appreciate. At some point, she, Harmony, and Alyssa establish the Midnight Falls Coven since they didn't fit in with other covens at school and always found themselves amongst school drama. She and Alyssa were also "unofficial" students of Bonnie Bennett, a legendary witch in Mystic Falls and Harmony's mentor. When she was 13, she was Harmony's first kiss to help each other realize they like girls as much as boys.

In 2026, Penelope was in Europe for a family emergency on her mother's side when Harmony's mom died and astral projected to be some sort of support along with Alyssa while everything was happening in New Orleans. Eventually, she had to step back when it was clear Harmony was too angry & deep into her grief for console but they reconciled after the tribrid officially moved to Mystic Falls as Bonnie's legal ward. Once she returned, she did everything in her power to help her celebrate being "freed" of her family and estranged twin. However, it soon became apparent that Harmony was spiraling from missing her sister and took a step back after Harmony nearly died of alcohol poisoning.

When she was 15, she fell in love with Josie Saltzman and dated her for a year, much to her friends' and Lizzie's disapproval. Partially due to Josie focusing too much of her attention on Lizzie, too little on her self-interest, and the fact that Josie holds responsibility for humiliating Harmony, they eventually broke up.

However, Penelope's biggest weaknesses are her big heart and her blind spot for loved ones. She tries to get others to see Josie as a victim of Lizzie and not the other way around and is willing to do anything to help her (or her loved ones) reach their goals.

Personality

Penelope is described as being "evil" by a couple of her classmates and doesn't refute it. However, this could just be because she let down someone she knew and it hardened her to make sure she'd do everythingbshe couldnnot to make that same mistake again. It is shown that she is knowledgeable in the art of witchcraft being her teacher asked her to demonstrate how a spell could go awry. Also, Penelope seems to be quite popular and has an outgoing personality with her friends. She is also shown to be quite flirty. Later on, in a conversation with Lizzie, she implies that the reason for her breakup with Josie was because Josie couldn't truly be happy with her, while caring for Lizzie's problems and that she is willing to ruin Lizzie for the way she treats her twin. While not excusing her, this reveals that she cares about Josie in her way.

However, amongst those she holds closely (her mom, Harmony, Alyssa, etc.) she can let down her mask and be herself. Her honesty is still charismatically blunt, but she does have a strong sense of empathy, moral justice, and family. Such as when she attempted to help Landon be with Rafael before his memories were compelled away, helping Dana stay alive by creating a prison world, helping her friends deal with traumas that haunt them, or "righteous revenge" for those who wrong her loved ones (another factor in her breakup with Josie).

Penelope's proud of her Southeast Asian heritage & collects memorabilia and knowledge as it reminds her of her dad and his birthplace: Java, Indonesia. Because of this, she also recognizes the hypocrisy in the idea that she knows more Supernatural History regarding European and North American history than other cultures. She also won't stand for any discrimination amongst different races. As for her English heritage, she loves her mom and owes it to her for her crafty spy and European spells.

Physical Appearance

Penelope is a pretty young woman with medium-light colored skin, hazel eyes, and wavy brown hair. She originally had long wavy hair, but her ex-girlfriend burnt off most of it by using magic. She now wears her hair in a bob style. She also has an athletic build and tends to wear natural makeup accentuating her facial features.
