Name: Penelo
Age: 19
Canon or OC: Cannon
Weapons/Abilities: Penelo's weapons are generally staffs or bows. Bows because she likes to avoid confrontation, and staffs to help her with magic. Her abilities range from strong White magic (i.e. Curaja, Arise, Holy, Esunaga, and Regen) to Green magic (i.e. Protega, Shellga, Hastega, Bravery, and Faith). She knows only the basic Black magic, just in case.
Let's not forget her Quickenings...
- Intercession- She spins in a circle as energy collects in a ball, she aims her attack at the monster or whatever and the energy ball shoot out blasts that hurt quite a bit.
- Evanescence- She spins in a circle again, much like Intercession, but this energy is much Lighter and collects around her body. Her spinning is actually what collects the energy and when she stops, with just a point of her hand, all the energy collected will shoot at what she aims for.
- Resplendence- It is her strongest ability. It works best in Snow, but it works fine in other climates. She moves around, the range of this attak is maybe twenty feet at the most. Time will freeze for only a moment, where she will reach out and touch an almost invisible screen, which will crack and those fragments will do a very lot of damage to all those in range.

Personality:What sort of person would a child from the War grow up to be like? Would they hate everything, would they rebel against any form of authority? Maybe. If that person didn't have a shred of selflessness. Penelo; dear, dear Penelo is about as selfless as Mother Theresa without even being a Nun. Or Kilitas, whichever you prefer. She has that feral-mothering sense and whenever someone gets taken under her wing they stay there until she is good and ready. She has a lot of love to share and in any situation, she would look for friends first.
But why? Why all this extra love? When Penelo was growing up in Rabanastre, her brother was just getting to that age where he wanted to make a difference. He was a soldier and threats of war loomed near. He did his best to prepare his sister, by training her as he was trained to fight, but when he left there was a huge hole in her chest. He was a part of her. She's never loved anyone so much. The war started. So many young parents left kids behind and many were orphaned. A young boy was taken in and this boy, was the reason why Penelo has such a big heart. This terrified little boy needed love, love of someone other than a parent. Penelo tried so desperately to be there for him after his parents, and later his brother died. She saw this going on else where, as well. Children just roaming around without the love or guidance of an adult or just someone to be there for them. Penelo stepped up and became that person. Saint? I think so.
History:Born and raised in Rabanastre, Penelo always felt better in a crowd then by herself. Her mother and father both raised her to be a nice and caring girl, while her brother taught her how to fight. As a result, Penelo has a huge urge to protect everyone around her and keep them extremely happy. The one person that gets her protection most is her 'adopted brother' Vaan. She adores him like a brother and would do absolutely anything for him. And one day, he just happened to get into big trouble with the Imperial guards and Penelo did all she could to get him, but Migelo, her boss, kept her too busy. Then before she knew it, she was kidnapped by Ba'Gamnan, a bounty hunter who was after a man Vaan was with. She was taken to Bhujerba where she was held by Ba'Gamnan and his men. Soon enough, Vaan and two characters rescued her.
She was extremely thankful for what the two did to get her, and she made the decision to stay with Vaan instead of return to Rabanastre because Vaan certainly didn't want to. It was with Vaan, Balthier, Basch, and Fran that Penelo met Ashe who was surprisingly the Princess of Dalmasca. The entire party got sucked into going with Ashe on a wild goose chase across Ivalice to restore her birthright as princess. Penelo had second thoughts about all of this , but because Vaan wanted to go, she went.
They managed to procure whatever it was Ashe was looking for but got taken prisoner on the Leviathon, one of Archadia's best fleet ships. One of the Magisters who had captured them was going to kill them using the Dawn Shard, Ashe's proof of heritage, when a stone Penelo had--given by her new friend Larsa (who happened to be a prince himself)--saved them all by taking away the stone's magic. The Magister had them taken away and experimented on the Shard, but something went wrong and the stone destroyed the Leviathan.
The party barely managed to get away aboard Balthier's sky ship the Straahl. They got away but their journey wasn't over. Because the Shard lost it's power, Ashe needed another one, and they also had questions as to the power of the Stones. So they headed to Jakarta, and saught an audience with the Elder there. Larsa returned to them, much to Penelo's delight, with news that they could seek the Gramis on Mount Bur Omisace, he could proclaim Ashe's birthright as Princess and they could stop the Rossarian attack from every happening over Dalmasca. The party set out once again.
Through more difficult events, they finally managed to return Ashe to her Princess stature. Vaan and Penelo stuck with their new group of 'family' until the very end, where they did succeed in putting a stop to the evil tyrant Vayne Solidor, before he could start the war he wanted so badly. Backed by the rouge Accuria, it was a difficult task and they almost lost Larsa in the process, but they pulled through and peace was restored. Larsa would become the knew leader of Archadia and Ashe would be Queen of Dalmasca and the two would become strong allies. Rossaria would halt their attack, under the influence of Al Cid and Vaan and Penelo could return to their peaceful life in Rabanastre. Vaan, however, wanted to be a sky pirate and because of the unfortunate loss of Balthier and Fran, they had a ship. Penelo went with Vaan for two years as a sky pirate. She kept in touch with Larsa because he had found a warm place in her heart, as well as Ashe who she thought of like a sister.
One day, however, they found the Straahl was mysteriously gone, a note of from none other than Balthier was left in it's place. Now that Vaan and Penelo have no ship, they just wander around the world with no real direction in mind, unless, of course, they could find a ship. It wasn't long, however, that they procured another airship.
(this would be the events to Radiant Wings, but I dun wanna read about it 'cause one day I wanna play it. I'll skip a head)
Penelo happened to wake up one day, finding herself in not the place she had fallen asleep at. Everything was different and worst of all; Vaan was gone.

RP Sample: It's all about strategy. She could hear Balthier in her ear. You plan it out before you do it. Not while you are doing it.
She probably should have listened to the thought-Balthier. Not only was she isolated in a world she'd never heard of, not only did she have gil, not only did she have only one weapon, but she was also here without Vaan knowing about it. She left him completely alone in their overnight stay in Nalbina, she didn't even leave a note. He would freak out and search everywhere for her, probably start a few fights and get thrown in an over-night. She scratched the back of her neck, her fingers pulled at her french-braid.
At the time she had thought it was better to leave with no trace, so he couldn't come looking for her, because certainly didn't want to drag him into whatever she had gotten herself into. She looked at the big school looming over head like an over grown wrym, the bow on her back suddenly felt like a toy. It was dark and haunting and she just felt small and alone.
She pulled her pack tighter over her shoulder and stepped towards the school, the crinkled and thrice crushed letter was in her left hand. She stepped through the shadow of the school and entered through the front doors, swallowed by its evilness.
The hallways were stark. Institutional-like. Penelo was reminded of Lowtown, its organized chaos and medicating silence. She watched as a few students ran by her and outside. The door slammed behind and she jumped a fraction of a foot into the air. She steeled herself before she walked into the office. She gingerly put her letter on the front desk and waited for someone to notice her.
How did you find us: Ciel, dear, held me at knife point and threatened my baby maker if I didn't show up. (DUN KEEL ME)
