Penelo
“Try to grow up, please.”
Age: 19
Family: Father, Mother, Older brother are all deceased. Her last 'relative' is Vaan, who she loves dearly.
Race: Human. Very human.
Side: Light, of course.
Job: Sky pirate!
Items: Penelo is always sure to carry around enough restoratives (potions, pheonix downs, ethers, and remedies) for emergencies as well as Motes ( Holy, Warp, Dark, and Blue) in case she is caught in a pinch.
Accessories: Penelo isn't one for jewelry, but she does carry around a Ribbon in her hair that protects her from all harmful status effects. (nifty, huh?)
Personality: Because she grew up raising orphans younger than her, Penelo has felt she has a responsibility to help people in need. She does not, and cannot ever tell some one 'no' if they ask her for advice, or for help. Though she has a big heart and could love anyone, she is no push over. She is stubborn and holds a standard to everyone in her care. She won't just do anything for anyone, because that won't really help the person. She just assists.
When it comes to being Penelo's friend, she has a big sense of humor and can crack jokes like the best of them, but she also knows when to be serious, and when to just be quite. She has a love for the unknown, even though she has just a little trouble taking risks. Two years as a sky pirate has all but erased that trouble, though. Once you meet Penelo, you can see for yourself just how much of a sweet heart she really is.
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 Gran Kiltias 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.
The Kiltias told them that Ashe could only succeed if they had with them another spoil from her ancester, King Raithwall, so they left the mountain to retrieve the Sword of Kings at the Stilshrine of Miriam.
Through increasingly difficult events, they 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 new 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.
Weapon: a recurved bow with Fire arrows, a Zwill Blade(dagger), and a Defender(broadsword)
Ability: Penelo's best abilites would be her three Quickening attacks:
- 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.
Magic: Penelo hasn't really specialized in any type of magic, though she does know several strong ones: Toxify, Bleed, Darkra, Firaga, Aeroga, Flare, Scourge, Bubble, and Vanish. Other, not as strong spells, would include; Cura, Esuna, Silence, Poison, Haste, and Reflect.
Crushes: None at the moment.
