"You can keep building those bloody walls, Desmond Parker. I assure you I will spend the rest of my life scrimmaging to tear down every single brick. Even if it's the last thing I do, because that's love!" - Penelope Melody Parker in 1983

Penelope Melody Parker (née Hades)  (b. 7th January 1952) is a British half-blood witch who grew up in Oxfordshire to a single teenage mother, Allison Belle Hades. Her father whom she had never met was supposed to be a pureblood wizard. The whereabouts of her father remain a mystery to her. Her mothers secrecy about her unknown father has caused a strain in their already dysfunctional relationship. Her mother would move in with her various lovers, which meant that Penelope grew up in countless places over the year. She never felt attached to anything, she never had a place to call home.

## Early life (1952-1963)

Penelope Melody Hades has been raised by a single teenage mother who was never present because of her work. Despite Allison Hades her efforts to maintain a loving relationship with her daughter, she still loathed her. Eight years after Penelope's own birth she was joined by a younger brother. The father of her brother had disappeared from their lives, which left her mother in a state of depression. Allison would only get up from her bed to work as an aurologist. Those events made Penelope take up the role of a caregiver. Luckily it came naturally to her. Penelope always loved nursing animals and did the same with her younger brother. She worked illigally as a butchers assistent to help pay the bills. When recieving her acceptence letter to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardy, she felt relieved yet utterly terrified. It was hard to leave her brother behind, who was at the age of four at that time. Penelope was happy to learn during her first year at hogwarts that her mother improved her ways.

Her taking the role of a caregiver at such an early age, caused her to grow up way faster then her friends. Penelope wears a lot of confidence on her sleeve. She knows her ways and is very indipendent. Even though she grew up by herself, she longues for connections that she should have had. She is always open to new friendships and seeks out connections that will satisfy her need to feel needed. Without a second doubt she'll carry a lot of weight and burden on her shoulders, it is the only thing that feels familiar to her.

Those who have met Penelope know that she need to be in control at all times. She prefers to know every single detail about situations and dislikes it when something surprising occurs. She wears a care free mask but in reality she surrounds herself with thick walls of safety.

## Hogwarts (1963-1970)

In 1963, Penelope was sorted into Hufflepuff and immediately found herself surrounded by a friendly community of fellow witches and wizards. She learned a great deal of magic during her time at Hogwarts and by the time she had reached her sixth year, she knew she wanted to explore the world before settling down.

It was then that she met Silvanus Kettleburn, a renowned magizoologist, who invited her to join him on an expedition to Russia to capture Pogrebins. Penelope happily accepted and, upon graduating from Hogwarts in 1970 with honors, she embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. With Kettleburn at her side, she experienced sights that few others ever have, and returned home with a newfound appreciation for the wonders of the world.

## Life after hogwarts (1970-Current)

Penelope gained fame over time as an up-and-coming magizoologist, travelling the world to gain experience and knowledge about magical creatures. Her adventures were often featured in the Daily Prophet, but it was her daring quest to capture a Quintaped - a dangerous, carnivorous beast previously thought to be only a folktale - that blew her fame into the stratosphere. Penelope was the first in history to succeed in managing to catch one, and for her successful feat, she was awarded a high position in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. To top it all off, she published a book about how she solved the McClivers and MacBoon feud, which led to the discovery of the Quintaped.

## Personality

Penelope can be described as a calculative person. Her troubling mind has made her obsessed with observing people, and tying the loose ends together. Her point of view differs in various circumstances. Sometimes she even surprises herself with how she adresses the situation. Her mothers expertise as an aurlogist has caused her to be very aura orientated. Whenever she enters a room she touches wizards and witches their souls, seeking out allies. Penelope may be confident at most times but she finds herself strongest when surrounded by her beloved ones.

Penelope detests surprises and therefore manages to manipulate situations to a point where she's in control. She loves to take on a innocent form, playing a part if you will. She's always up for a game, it simply compliments and pleases her stratigical brain. She views people as puzzles. She finds it thrilling and sees it as a challenge to decipher them.

Besides her playfull nature, she is a very devoted person. She is loyal to the bone and expects loyalty in return. She believes in actions, not in words. She never was a judging type and holds a postivive stand on second chances.
