.:Physical Appearance:. The first thing many notice about Penelope Featherington are the bright yellow gowns that her mother insists she wear, though they do little to flatter her pale complexion. Beautiful as she is, Penelope often finds herself overlooked due to her habit of hugging the wall at the many balls she attends each season. Of course, if you pay attention at such gatherings, you may find much more than just a husband.
.:Height:. 5'1''
.:Portrayed by:. Nicola Coughlan

.:Personality:. Penelope is a kind-hearted girl whose warm nature has earned her favour from those fortunate enough to count themselves her friends. She is often labelled a wallflower, quiet and soft spoken. Though that may be due to the outspoken almost obnoxious presence of her older sisters, whose teasing is only encouraged by their dear mother, which promotes her silence. Penelope does not crave the attention that many other ladies seem to thrive off of, preferring to go unnoticed and ignored, only spending time with those whose company she actually enjoys.

Penelope hides an intelligence behind a mask of compliance, always doing as her mother asks, never arguing or doing much to arouse suspicion. It suits her just fine to be underestimated, and in her spare time she writes. Honing her craft to a fine art and using it to address the ton each season with tales of scandal and no one is ever the wiser that it is she, who pens each article.
.:Skills:. Writing, Observation skills, Compassionate, Cunning, Intelligence
.:Weaknesses:. Willing to cross lines and justify herself even if her actions were morally ambiguous, sensitive to criticism, her mother, too trusting.

.:Birthplace:. London, England
.:Family:.
Archibald Featherington - Father
Portia Featherington - Mother
Prudence Featherington - Sister
Phillipa Finch (nee Featherington) - Sister
.:Occupation:. Writer
.:History:.

The youngest Featherington daughter, she has gone most of her life with her mother's nit-picking and criticism. She is often viewed as the ugly duckling of the Featherington brood and as such, her mother has shown little interest in finding her a marital match. Focusing on her older sisters who are about as bland as the gowns that are thrust upon them in some far-fetched attempt at making them appear more desirable, or perhaps to draw attention away from their abysmal personalities.

Penelope does not desire the same attention as her older sisters, preferring to blend into the background and observe the goings on around her, the act of finding a husband a distant thought. Why would she bother pursuing the affections of a man when the one man whose attentions she would welcome, has little interest in seeking much more than friendship from her. 

Men do not wish for their wives to read or write; those are not desirable traits in a Lady. But those are the only things that bring Penelope joy on days when her mother's cutting words leave scars that might never truly heal, and so she has resigned herself to the idea that she might never marry. Dedicating her life to her works, channelling her efforts into writing about the ton's most scandalous gossip season after season.
