Whew, sorry it took me so long for my intro post! And I posted right after @Eviledd1984 despite wanting to interact with their character too, so I had to make some edits. But there we are~

Motel Cadillac

---

Penelope was no stranger to the merciless heat of Coalfell, but damn, did it ever threaten to sizzle her to a pathetic little crisp. After several hours of cleaning her way through the shoddy rooms at the Cadillac, the precious little air conditioning the motel had to offer was really getting to her. The place was home, but she'd worked up a strong appetite for an ice cold Coke, and maybe even a heaping helping of blueberry pancakes to top it off. After all, Momma May's served breakfast all day.

So, without bothering to tell anybody, she took off from the motel in her old clunker, still in uniform. The drive was short, but the air in her car was nice and cold and there was just enough time for a quick smoke on the way. Feeling refreshed, she pulled into the parking lot of May's just in time for what appeared to be an exchange between a couple of the local biker gang members and a girl she did not recognize. Not to mention, she was right next to yet another stranger swearing at her car.

Hopping out of her own deathtrap, she couldn't resist peeking in the opposite window of the other girl's car, wanting to see what the commotion was about. It took her a matter of seconds to spot the keys she assumed had been locked inside, and she did her very best to hold back a laugh. "Sorry, sorry. That's shit luck, really," she said, sympathetic. "But there's a payphone inside. Standing there in the heat won't do you any good."

She beckoned the girl as she headed for the door, without waiting to see if she'd follow. If she had any brains, she would. The payphone would be her only option to call for help, unless she wanted to sweet talk one of the Red Wolves outside to break into her vehicle. Hell, they'd probably be faster than any other option, but she wasn't about to tell her that and make her day even worse.

Once she'd set foot in Momma May's, she waved a quick hello to everybody, strange and familiar faces alike. This place had been her go-to ever since she was a kid. Some would argue that the diner was as run-down as it's employees, but they made damn good food and jukebox privileges were cheap. Plus, karaoke night there was about as exciting as Coalfell ever got.

It took her a few moments to truly adjust to the room, but her eyes soon settled on the nearby, somewhat familiar figure of James Matei. He happened to be a guest at the motel where she worked. The man had always seemed rather quiet, and she got the idea that he liked his own company better than anybody else's.

Still, she had an unshakable habit of trying to befriend some of the more interesting guests there when they rolled into town. She was near enough to at least catch the tail end of his conversation with another lady, no doubt about one of his books. She regarded him with a soft smile. "Hi! I hope I’m not interrupting. I'm Penny. We met when you checked into the Cadillac."

She seemed to have caught him leaving. Still, it couldn’t hurt to linger for a moment while she waited there near the door. Her new friend would probably be joining her shortly, anyway, and she figured she’d offer to get them a table while she called somebody.

Motel Cadillac

Penelope Ruth Young

Full Name: Penelope Ruth Young

Nickname: Penny is the only one that really sticks.

Age: Twenty-two

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Straight, as far as she knows.

Relationship Status: Single

Occupation: Housekeeping at the Motel Cadillac, sugar baby on the side.

Appearance: Penny has delicate, pretty features, and is about 5'4" in height. Her round, fair face is framed by long, brown hair, which she tends to leave down unless she's working. Her eyes are a soft green, though hints of blue accentuate them. She favors the simple charm of a good smoky eye, hoop earrings, and a smartly paired lipstick, but likes to keep her makeup subtle for the most part. Special occasions and certain arrangements are an obvious exception to this rule. Her choice in attire varies, but she favors what most would consider traditionally girly outfits and jewelry. Whatever the clothing item, she usually goes for a more fitted look that compliments her figure, and comfortable shoes are a must. That being said, she can navigate a pair of heels as well when it's expected of her. She just doesn't like it.

Personality: Soft as a kitten, and at least twice as endearing. But beneath the angelic veneer is a girl who can never be satisfied. There's an edge of loneliness to every well-placed flirt, and she tends to follow the crowd with a certain desperation to be close to the pulse, for better or worse. She has a nervous habit or two, and she's most relaxed when she's smoking a cigarette. That being said, she's a great listener, she remembers a face, and if you can make her laugh, she's your friend for life. Either the good far outweighs the bad, or the bad side has yet to surface. An ever so slight attraction to danger would be evidence to the latter.

Short Bio: Born and raised in Coalfell, Arizona, Penelope knows no other place. Though, truth be told, she tends towards a more restless nature. Her parents died in a car accident when she was very young. Some might say that gives her the right to complain, but she isn't too open about it. It's difficult to reconcile something so tragic when you can't even remember it. She, obviously, wasn't there when it happened and was much too young at the time to understand. The heaviness of that tragic event came later, but from that point onward, she was raised by her grandmother. Doting as ever, she treated Penny like her own daughter and was the first to ever call her that. She would come to crave being on her own, however. As soon as she was old enough to chase independence, she took up housekeeping at the Motel Cadillac for a place to stay. The strangeness and charm of the establishment was something she got acquanted with over time, but she stuck around and it became home. That being said, what little she made cleaning didn't provide her with an incredible amount of comfort, so she took up 'dating' with certain incentives, which she has been carrying on with for a while now. When she's not doing that or washing God knows what out of motel sheets, you might just find her at Momma May's, especially on karaoke night.

Visuals: Here, here, and here. For the sake of putting a face to the name, her appearance is largely inspired by a young Mädchen Amick.

This is a whole aesthetic. I already have an idea, and I'll whip something up as soon as I can.

Loving what you guys have got going on with this one. If you’re open to new additions, I might just drum up a sheet. Otherwise, let’s be real, I’ll probably still follow along because pirates!

Hellooo

My name is Faith, and sometimes I like to pretend that I'm a writer. This forum appeals to the creative side I've neglected for too long now, so I've decided to join up and give it a shot.

I have a particular liking for the fantasy genre, but I've been known to do modern. Post-apocalyptic and horror settings are of interest to me as well. Really, there's no telling what I'll do now that inspiration seems to have struck again.

Outside of that and pestering my significant other, my hobbies include League of Legends, food, and suffering, in no particular order.

So yeah, I may not be the most interesting person out there, but I'm pretty easygoing. When in doubt, I probably think you're cool. ♥
