Penelope

Penelope is a 2021-introduced and all-around character. She is a Sapphire twin and a student at Enchatria High. Purrsephone, principally recognizable for her black hair, has a twin sister by the name of Melody, who is principally recognizable for her white hair. Along with Scarlett, their best friend, sib from another crib, and leader all rolled up in one, the trio are some of the worst causers of trouble at the school. Nonetheless, Penelope is rather sociable if caught alone and is usually the one trying to find a bright side to an unfortunate situation. Unlike Melody, Penelope is insecure about herself and constantly looking for ways to prove her value as an individual. Even though she and her sister go along well, Penelope hates when the two of them are conflated.
==Portrayers==
Penelope is rarely heard speaking, but she occasionally makes monster voice. In the English version of the cartoon, credit for this goes to America Young, who also voices Scarlett Ferris and Melody. In Great Barrier Reef, until the reboot both she and Melody are voiced by Cindy Robinson, as they speak for the first time, because Scarlett isn't around to "hog the conversation".
==Character==
===Personality===
Being a twin is a matter of cruelly balanced pros and cons to Penelope. On one hand, she has a constant companion in her sister Melody. On the other, she and her sister's closeness is regularly perceived as interchangeability by others. Though Melody is more than fine with this, Penelope is determined to become recognized as an individual. She has yet to figure out a way to accomplish her goal though.
Between her and her sister, Penelope has a more cautious nature, but she's still easily convinced by her sister and, presumably, Scarlett to participate in risky pranks. On the other hand, Penelope is better at handling it when a prank backfires as long as she doesn't fare worse than her partners-in-crime.
Penelope has an allergy for birds, which is a secret to everyone outside of her family because Penelope is embarrassed by the way it affects her. Her allergy causes her hairballs and was the reason she and Melody had to part with their pet canary.
===Appearance===
Penelope has a mirror theme going on with her sister in how they look and how they dress. Both have a grey skin or fur and white facial marking, along with blue eye shadow. They also have white stripes running over their legs and arms, but Penelope has her stripes on her left arm and right leg, while Melody has them on her right arm and left leg. Penelope is more easily distinguished from her sister by her hair though, which is black, whereas Melody's is white. In line with the white markings on their limbs, Penelope has a black-and-white striped lock of hair hanging from her right side, which Melody has hanging from her left side.
Penelope and Melody dress in similar outfits because it's easier for them. Like Scarlett, they have a biker look going for them, but the twins' choice of clothes reaches more for the feminine. The main colors they go for are white, black, crimson, and orange, with white and crimson being more dominant in Penelope, consisting of white, black-striped, sleeveless shirt with an orange, open-zippered, black studded vest over it, one crimson bracelet on the left arm, the other on the right arm, along with two black studded bracelets and an orange biker-styled fingerless glove, crimson denim skirt, and black knee-high boots with multiple laces, a buckle on each side and crimson wedges.
==Classic Monster==
Just like Scarlett, Penelope and Melody are sapphires. According to folklore, they are humans who transforms to human-like cats, panthers or tigers. Werecats are similar to Werewolfs, as Werecats are also known as "shape-shifters".
Werecats are not featured as often as Werewolves are in popular culture, but a notable movie with Werecats is Cat People directed by Val Lewton. It tells the story of a young woman, who believes herself to be a descendant of a race of people who turn into cats.
==Relationships==
===Family===
Penelope is the twin sister of Melody. They live in a good household, where their pranks are not approved of but generally not reported on either. Their mother dotes on them and has so far denied Penelope the possibility to throw away embarrassing photos from when she was a child and affected by hairballs because she thinks the photos are cute.
In her diary, Scarlett says that Penelope and Melody are "like [her] sisters". This sentiment is presumably shared by Penelope.
===Friends===
Penelope's best pals in life are Melody and Scarlett.
===Pet===
Until some years ago, Penelope and Melody owned a male canary who would sing them awake every morning. However, Penelope developed an allergy to the bird, forcing the sisters to give him away. They still miss him.
===Romance===
Penelope does not seem to be looking for romantic involvement at the moment. However, she and Melody went for the same werewolf when looking for a dance partner in "Fight On!", suggesting she has a similar taste in dates as her sister.
