Penny a trouvé un soulagement dans le fait que la situation semblait diffuse - il devenait trop tendu pour elle, même si autrement elle se déplaçait dans le drame, ils passeraient tout un été ensemble, et il semblait stupide de tomber sur quelque chose de si inoffensif. Ses yeux flippaient sur Lance, qui semblait se tenir à un angle plutôt gênant. Ses soupçons ont été confirmés à la demande d'un kit de premiers soins, et elle s'est permise de sourire alors que Damar s'est attelée à la tâche de réparer Lance. Elle a été réconfortée par le smirk Damar jeté dans sa direction - évidemment aucun dommage n'avait été fait là après qu'elle avait coincé pour Eva.
Alex, d'un autre côté, était manifestement toujours en colère. Cela ne dérangeait pas autant Penny - malgré son beau look, Alex était probablement le seul membre du groupe dont elle était la plus éloignée. C'était quelque chose à propos de son personnage qui l'a repoussée, mais elle était probablement juste pédante, comme d'habitude. Elle a offert un peu plus qu'un rouleau d'oeil alors qu'il s'envolait, résistant à l'envie de murmurer quelque chose au sujet de jeter un tantrum et au lieu de regarder vers ses ongles, qui étaient, étonnamment pour la plupart des gens, truqués et mordus. L'un des effets secondaires malheureux de l'abandon du tabac. Échanger une mauvaise habitude avec une autre.
Son regard s'éloigna de ceux qui étaient en haut et en bas jusqu'à l'endroit où la porte d'entrée s'était encore ouverte, révélant rien d'autre que Kai. Les lèvres de Penny se bousculaient vers le haut dans un sourire à la vue de lui - il était la personne parfaite pour se lever maintenant, et laisser tout le monde se distraire en le saluant. Ses intentions de le saluer, cependant, ont été écourtées car elle a été distrait par une figure familière faisant une sortie précipitée. C'est Brandon. En général, elle le regardait partir et le laissait à ses propres sentiments - elle n'était pas intéressée à être le rocher de quelqu'un ou quoi que ce soit. Mais elle lui devait quelque chose. Beaucoup. Assez pour que ce soit un poids ennuyeux sur ses épaules à chaque fois qu'ils parlaient. Il l'aidait à surmonter sa personnalité addictif, et elle et quelques autres l'enseignaient depuis quelques années. C'était assez pour servir de bonne raison pour être là pour lui maintenant, n'est-ce pas?
Sans se soucier de trouver une excuse pour partir, elle a plutôt glissé loin du groupe et en bas. En passant devant Ronnie, elle s'est peut-être emparée un peu trop fort de son bras - le fait qu'il était sans sommet ne l'a pas aidé à s'emparer. Elle offrit à Kai une petite vague à mesure qu'ils passaient, écoutant le mot « bonjour » en guise de salut.
Penny a fourni à Ronnie une petite barre d'explications les mots simples : « Sauve la mission ». Jumelé à un sourire diabolique.
Elle s'arrêta alors que Brandon entrait en vue dans le jardin, soudainement peu sûr de ce qu'il fallait faire. Elle n'était pas la meilleure à ce truc réconfortant, ou juste montrant ses sentiments en général, donc elle s'est levée et a laissé Ronnie prendre la tête. Il était bien meilleur à tous ces trucs sociaux - surtout quand il s'agissait de réconforter quelqu'un. Le gars avait un cadeau pour faire sourire les gens.
Name: Penelope Tristan, aka Penny
Age: 18 years old
Appearance: Tall, slender and graceful - Penny stands at roughly 5'7" and weighs around about 120 pounds. She has smooth, porcelain skin that tans well when she's out in the sun. She's subject to a few blemishes every now and again - who isn't? - but her complexion is otherwise flawless. Her hair falls to her mid-back and is light brown in colour, the sun giving it natural highlights to even appear blonde in some lights. Her locks are naturally straight, although hold a curl well and tend to be a frizzy mess when she gets up in the morning.
Penny's features are soft; with sparkling hazel eyes and full pouting lips. She has prominent cheekbones and a slender nose, however she despises the fact that she has such a strong jawline. Her eyebrows are plucked to perfection, with a low arch that softens her prominent bone structure. She wears minimal makeup, but loves a good cat-eye every now and again. It is rare that she doesn't have at least a hint of a knowing smirk present on her face, and she has managed to perfect the art of skeptically raising one eyebrow. She still has the scar on the left side of her nose from where it used to be pierced, accompanied by her septum, ears and belly button actually being pierced. She has no tattoos for the moment, but is trying to persuade her mother into letting her get a couple.
Her sense of fashion has the potential to be very flattering indeed, however she prefers to stick to the comfy side of clothes. Her style can vary from little summer dresses to flannel shirts and biker boots - it really just depends on her mood. Something that she's always wanted is her own signature style, like how Jocelyn always looks ready for a party, and Elizabeth has her pink hair; but she's never quite managed to find it. For now, she's sticking to the clothes she knows suit her well and are comfortable to wear.
Personality: 
Penny's personality is often somewhat surprising to those she meets. From her good looks, it would be easy to assume that she's a sweetheart with a pretty smile. She is, in some aspects, a sweetheart; but not your typical girly, giggly bundle of joy. Instead, it has to be said that Penny is one tough girl. She has a dry, sarcastic sense of humour that is paired with her keen intellect and a knowing smile. She is the brutally honest type - and she will not twist anything to make it seem better or worse. If you want to know the facts about something, Penny's the girl you look for. Many people fail to see past the sarcastic remarks and unfiltered opinions, however, and Penny finds herself referred to as the 'ice queen' in school.
Penelope isn't all smirks and bitchy comments, though, and has a distinct soft side too. Dig deep enough and you'll discover an incredibly loyal, warm soul that is, in fact, very self-conscious and cares a lot more than she may put on. She will go to some extent in order to please those she cares about, often demonstrating reckless stunts to impress and surprise. It's difficult to gain access to this more vulnerable aspect of her, but most will say it is worth the wait. She strives to make others happy, and ensure that they are having the best time possible.
Penny is attractive in many senses, yet often fails to see it. She understands and flaunts the fact that she is pretty, but often doubts her own character. In her shoes, you will find that she overthinks almost everything to the point of anxiety, but this is something that only a rare few know about her. She also misses her home a lot more than she gives away, too. Despite the fact that she adores everyone she'll be spending the summer with, there will always be a part of her that yearns for her true home. It is these weaknesses that cause her to push people away - so be wary if you want to be her friend, or even something more. She's a tricky one.
Backstory:
Penny's childhood was one out of a fairytale. She grew up in Adelaide, Australia and was brought up by her mother and father alongside her older brother, Brodie. It was the perfect life full of days at the beach and barbecues at Christmas, and they were brought up in a somewhat strict Catholic family. On Penny's twelfth birthday, and when Brodie had just turned seventeen, Brodie moved out. At the time, Penny was told it was no big deal, and that he'd be back soon, but after two years of little-to-no contact with Brodie, 14 year old Penny took matters into her own hands. Scraping up the last of her savings, she booked a one-way ticket to North Carolina, where her brother had reportedly moved to, and left her beloved Australia without a goodbye to her parents.
It wasn't until she arrived in Elizabeth City and reunited with Brodie that she realised he hadn't just left for no reason. Their parents, upon finding out that Brodie was planning to marry a girl from a feuding family, kicked him out of the house with just enough money for a flight out of the country. It hadn't taken long for this fiancee to break up with him, but he managed to get himself a decent job and flat in North Carloina. It was upon hearing this that Penny decided to stay with her brother in Elizabeth City, giving her parents nothing more than a quick goodbye phonecall and a Christmas card once a year.
She found little problems with fitting into her new school, despite her giveaway accent and religious background, and made fast friends with a variety of people around the school - some of which might be because of the good looks of her brother, and others due to her superior persona. This included a variety of boyfriends, and her losing her V-card relatively early. Penny also managed to pick up an array of bad habits, including smoking and drinking, and developed a reputation for being a party animal. She acted like she was better than everyone else, so they all believed it. After meeting her new friends, the ones she'll be spending the summer with, she toned down the better than thou act and settled into the sexy, sarcastic girl she is now. She's trying to give up smoking, as well as open up a little more, but it'll take a lot of work.
Future Plans:
Penny as pretty much no idea what to do with her future - perhaps modelling or swimming coaching now that she works as a lifeguard, but one thing is for sure - she wants to visit Australia at least one more time.
