#cont thoughts of my last rb but. i think ppl are so quick to say that teruko is a badly written character bc of her role in the story??#idk how to explain it but. yeah bsd isnt the best at writing female characters and theres hints of misogyny here and there#but ppl always say teruko's entire character is a product of misogyny and that is just. not true.#prob bc people focus too much on the fact that shes a rare female character idk#yeah shes extremely dedicated to the hunting dogs and fukuchi. her LEADER. i dont think thats misogyny#people dont say that about chuuya being extremely loyal to the mafia 😭😭#'her having to give the credit to fukuzawa for killing fukuchi is so misogynistic!!!' except youre ignoring what that scene is really about#it's about two kinds of people. how fukuzawa couldnt kill out of love vs how teruko killed because of it#it's about the fact that SHE can do it. shes strong enough to. SHE understands whats necessary. SHE pushed her feelings aside.#which i thought was amazing. it really solidified her role as a SOLDIER which was how she was introduced. shes VICE CAPTAIN of the hd i fee#like people always forget that.#it's also rare to see a female character act on smth that isnt emotional cause it's always male characters pushing aside their grief for th#better. i loved that we were shown how fukuzawa who is stone cold and an ex assassin CLDNT do it while teruko who is explosive and emotiona#could!! it was an interesting side to both their characters#thats not to say teruko isnt a victim of misogyny. cause people do hate her for traits they love in other characters (shes very similar to#ranpo and chuuya and jouno off the top of my head)#but to say that her entire self is a result of misogyny is doing a disservice to her character#and shows that you cant look past her relationships with male characters idk#saying she doesnt have anything outside male characters is so untrue i cant stand that argument. bc SHE DOES. youre the one not seeing it#her role during the skyfall arc was amazing how do we forget that#anyway sorry. to each their own ofc im not defending bsd's occasional bad writing#but teruko get behind me djhfjhd

❝ I do not like divided hearts; and if I give mine, I give it whole. ❞ Penelope Puddifoot, Willa Holland, Sixteen, Incoming Sixth Year, Hufflepuff, Cis female, Halfblood, She/her
right so penelope’s the youngest daughter of three and has a whole bunch of cousins, almost resembling the wotters in size tbh but they’re a lot more spread out in age so at this point penelope’s one of the only ones still attending hogwarts
her mother’s side of the family are the puddifoots and her father took on her surname after they married because that’s kind of been the tradition for her mother’s side of the family for a while now. he helps run madam puddifoot’s together with some of penelope’s other relatives, while her mother is a famous author and advice columnist focusing mostly on relationship advice
her oldest sister prue is a squib and was homeschooled, though both penelope and her other sister parker showed signs of magic at a pretty early age. despite not having gone to school together then, they are all incredibly close with each other.
romance is a pretty big thing in her family??? i mean one look inside madam puddifoot's would make that pretty clear lmao, but both that and her mother’s profession has influenced her a lot so there wasn’t really a surprise to anyone how in love with love she ended up becoming. guaranteed to ship basically all the characters here with someone, sorry not sorry, though she does try to not be too forceful about it and leave people alone
doesn’t actually date herself though??? super here for casual hookups, but she’s just interested in finding that True Love™ that she thinks her parents and aunts and uncles have, not really interested in anything that doesn’t live up to it and doesn’t think she’ll find it in hogwarts so she just doesn’t date or try to find anyone for herself
likes to believe she has pretty high standards when it comes to romance but honestly it might just border on snobbish and slightly judgemental even if unintentional yikes
idk how she actually plans on finding that True Love™ if she doesn’t actually date or put herself out there but that’s her attitude toward it all so you know best of luck i guess 
that said she’s like half in love with all her friends lmao. probs has made out with quite a few of them while drunk if they were willing?? she’s very affectionate sorry not sorry. she loves kissing and hooking up and friends so she’s like!! perfect combo!! rip
she just loves cheerleading So Much okay, it’s one of the most important things to her and she definitely values it over her education dgahsgdj. flyer and co-captain ( along with molly weasley, shoutout to the best cheerleading captain duo ) of both the hufflepuff team and the hogwarts team. she just !!! burns for cheerleading okay she’s wanted to be on the team since before she started hogwarts. made it on the hufflepuff team in her second year, the school team in her third, and became co-captain of both in her fifth year. absolutely not a fighter but if someone tried to claim that cheerleading is not a real sport that’d do it (ง'̀-'́)ง
she’s a generally friendly and an incredibly social person, and a hufflepuff through and through - really values kindness and loyalty and patience. won’t lose her temper or become all that impatient often - she’s just here to have a good time tbh
does not really embody the whole hard-working thing that hufflepuff encourages ( like. at all ) — there’s just so many more interesting things to do than study, and she rarely finds the motivation to actually focus, but she knows she has to keep up decent grades in order to stay on the cheerleading teams. honestly unless she has someone there to study with she won’t really do it tbh, or she’ll try and get frustrated just a short while into it bc she never really knows where to start or how to pull all the information into a coherent essay etc., so she procrastinates more and does something else. if she has a study partner who can help keep her motivated it goes a bit better tho but you know. she’s far from the ideal student tho she tries more now than she did when she was younger
no clue what she wants to do with her life after hogwarts, and isn’t really keen on figuring it out yet either. completely fails at long-term planning and keeps procrastinating so atm that is just not happening anytime soon
she’s been helping out at madam puddifoot’s during holidays though and she knows that’s where she’ll work once she graduates at least in the beginning so she can’t bring herself to actually worry about the future. she’s very much the type of person to live in the moment and not make many plans jhdgajd
honestly both of her sisters are more practical and ambitious so they’re a bit... concerned lmao but they know she’s just a teen so they keep it to themselves. also her mum definitely resonates in everything she’s going through because she wasn’t exactly a model student either and it took a long time for her to figure out what she wanted out of life too so tbh though her parents wishes she would try to apply herself a bit more they’re still very supportive and knows that it can take time before you figure out what you wanna do. they’re very lenient tbh 
family and romance are pretty much everything to penelope, so she’s really lucky that she can sneak down to hogsmeade and visit some of them when she feels like it. as much as she enjoys a good party, her dream evening is spent playing board games with her family at madam puddifoot’s with an endless supply of ice cream and sweets
penelope cannot lie. at all. whatsoever. secrets??? don’t know them. she gets it from her mother lmao. she’s really nice but most of her older friends and family members have likely learnt at this point not to trust her with the important stuff rip
she really does mean well tho she just likes starting up conversations with others and things slip out
tends to be pretty irresponsible in some ways, mostly with her studies — kind of goes along with her living in the moment thing and inability to properly plan for things. beats herself up for it all the time because cheerleading means the world to her and it's important but like..... studying, yikes
a bit too naive and trusting at times — she just wants to give people a chance, but that isn’t always the best idea
her pinterest board can be found here — please ignore the fact that the surname is different dajhdsaj her main verse is charmed whoops
