They molest me because they worship me. Because I'm superior to them. How delightful. I am so very, truly loved, by so many worthless perverts.
I don't wanna talk about it.
Listen. I'm not a pedophile, okay? This personality exists within me because I was used by pedophiles.
Relations
- Lucy-α
- Penelope was a part within Lucy-α. She really didn't care
for having to fear the same men she so enjoyed bossing around, so she's glad
to have broken free.
Haha, you hear that, Oliver? You're such a whiny little baby that everyone ditched your sorry ass!
Hey. Not okay.
Hey. Penelope, that's not okay. You need to stop now.Oh, waah, waah, I'm such a weak widdle fwuitcake, I can't even fight off a big scawwy nerd with glasses and IBS!
- Lucy
- When they were one, Penelope enjoyed the extra power over others. Now, she embraces Lucy as a mother figure, but throws tantrums when she won't let her have her way.
- Anabelle
- It's unclear whether Anabelle exists at all or is just Penelope. All we know is that Penelope sometimes asks us to call her Penelope and sometimes asks us to call her Anabelle, and that their gender feels ever so slightly different, but with the same expression.
- Daisy
- In terms of power dynamic, he is the most accessible proxy for her to bully instead of either of the dads. Though it would make it better for her if his gender presentation were more masculine.
- May
- Unknown.
- Oliver
- She's mean to him sometimes. Not directly, not usually. It's just... She wants to think about our trauma because it fucked her up so bad that it makes her genuinely happy now. He could not possibly want to think about it any less. There's just no way to make everyone happy. Then, when Lucy steps in to get her to stop, Penelope says mean things about Oliver during the ensuing tantrum.
- Oliver*
- I think she was a part within him.
- Alice
- I'm not sure Penelope has even met Alice. She probably shouldn't. Penelope's tendencies have already caused Alice enough harm even without direct contact.
- Alice-II
- Unknown.
- Alice-III
- Unknown.
- Singer
- Singer disavows Penelope.
- Singer-α
- Singer-α also disavowed Penelope.
- Kate
- I really want to disavow Penelope as well. But I have to face the truth. Since recognizing what she is and being properly introduced, I have pretty often heard her say something and found myself instinctively responding, "Penelope, what the fuck."
- Sophie
- There are similarities. I sometimes wonder if Sophie is an older Penelope. As for how they actually connect, Sophie is too lax about indulging Penelope and I wish she would stop.
- Mom
I love her! She's perfect! I love her forever!
- Dad
Doesn't exist! He can't exist if I don't let him! Ahem. I'm pleased to announce: He's not real! Because I decided that. Just now. Only the other daddy is real. The one I get to be mean to.
- Mom*
...
- Dad*
Oh he's lots of fun. Especially when—
Penelope, we can't say that.Why not?
Whining isn't going to change my mind.
