House Butterfly

Penumbra Butterfly was the daughter of Queen Sideria Butterfly and was responsible for a plot to injure her sister and heir, Celena Butterfly and subsequently lost all her titles.

### Early Life

Princess Penumbra, of House Butterfly, was born in 712 A.M. as a triplet to Queen Sideria Butterfly and Patric Flowers. Her triplet sisters were Umbra Butterfly and Antumbra Butterfly. At the time of her birth, Penumbra was 2nd in line to the throne. From an early age, she was very close to her triplet sisters and her subsequent brothers, Afelio and Perielio who were born in 716 A.M.. However, she barely knew her youngest sibling, Crepuscula, who was born in 720 A.M.. As a Princess, Penumbra would attend many royal events and received some training from her mother on governance as she was 2nd in line to the throne. However, Celena described her as mean and would often bully her. This may have stemmed from her jealousy as the spare and was egged on by her sister Umbra, who despised Celena. She would attend the Lonely Star Ball of Celena in 718 A.M., where she would notice all the attention placed on Celena. She also noticed that her mother would focus more on Celena than her and the rest of her siblings. She would attend the funeral of her grandmother, Hesperia Butterfly in 704 A.M.. She would attend the Wand Passing Ceremony in 722 A.M., where her jealously grew. She ridiculed Celena for the form her wand took, a fan. She would also ridiculed Celena after she took interest in Lord Elm Forest, and would also make fun of him to his face, to which Elm just had take.

### Punishment

In 726 A.M., Umbra approached Penumbra with a plan to sabotage Celena's flasks in the hope of injuring her and proving to their mother that she was too weak to inherit the throne. Penumbra would tell her brothers to put chemicals in Celena's potion flasks that would cause an explosion. However, when the explosion happened, it was much larger than they expected. Sideria immediately ordered an investigation. Afelio and Perielio revealed that they had been instructed by Penumbra. Penumbra, fearing arrest, revealed that Umbra was the mastermind. Penumbra was locked in her room under house arrest. The Mewnistry recommended that a Queen's Tribunal be held but Sideria refused. Instead Umbra was forced to marry Luke, of House Loveberry and would be sent as the Queen's ambassador to the Silvan Kingdom. This was a veiled act of banishment as Umbra was not permitted to return to the Queendom and was stripped of her Royal Salary and given the salary of a junior ambassador. Antumbra, who was not involved, was knighted and Sideria removed her hereditary rights. Afelio was sent to study at the Grand Celestum to become a celestrine and his rights and titles were taken by Sideria. Perielio was engaged to a minor lady of House Stone and sent to live in the Stone Mines. Crepuscula, only age 6, was engaged to a young lord of House Fields. Penumbra was given the choice between engagements just as her sister was. Penumbra was then to be sent as an ambassador to another kingdom. Penumbra refused any engagement and Sideria then stripped her of her rank, titles, and privileges. Penumbra was then banished from Butterfly Castle. Penumbra would leave the kingdom. It is believed that Penumbra gave birth to several bastard children but any information beyond that is unknown.
