Penny Haywood

## Overview

Penny Haywood [Titled: Her Royal Highness, The Primary Consort of His Imperial Majesty The Emperor, Penny Slytherin-Haywood] is a major character of 'Intimacy'.

Penny joined the Emperor's Harem on the 6th of September, 1988 at the age of 16, the Selection having to be held back due to a rebellion in London. Currently, she is 27.

As of January 2000, she holds the rank of Primary Consort, and is the highest ranked member of the harem.

## Early Life [1972-1984]

Penny was born as Penny Haywood on the 2nd September, 1972, to a Muggle-born mother and a Muggle father. She was raised in a society that looked upon her parents with scorn, and this shaped her beliefs.

When she was four, her younger sister, Beatrice, was born.

Penny attended Muggle Primary school, and was taught potions by her Step-Grandmother.

## Hogwarts Years [1984-1988]

Penny began Hogwarts in September 1984 at 11 years old, turning 12 a day later. She was sorted into Hufflepuff.

Penny was said to be the most popular girl in her year. She was also incredibly skilled in potions.

After her fourth year, Penny decided that she wanted to treat the prejudice in society from the top, and if becoming the Emperor's concubine would solve that, she'd do so. She left Hogwarts at 15, signing to join the Selection. However, the Selection was postponed due to a rebellion in London, so the final Selection didn't take place until the 6th of September 1988, when she was 16.
