If Penelope is in a position where she has to defend herself, she knows how to handle a gun and dagger really well. She usually always keeps two daggers on her at all times. She also enjoys using these special hand grenades that she made herself.

Deep in her heart, Penelope prefers to avoid all kinds of confrontation. Unfortunately, that's impossible for her.
Confrontation is part of her daily life now but prefers stealth kills. She'd rather not show her face to the person she has to kill. One would suspect that's because she feels a bit of guilt and shame.

*Slight trigger warning near the end*
Penelope Van Luthen was the first and only daughter of Baron Medwin Van Luthen and his lovely wife, Baroness Elmira Van Luthen. A wealthy family well-known among other fellow nobles, the Van Luthens were part of the Merchant Guild and were responsible for trading with other societies. They traveled far and wide and made trade deals with other nobles. It made them quite the fortune. It also made enemies.
No one knows how Medwin and Elmira died. Some suspect it was a member of House Ristel in the far East. Tensions have always been high between them and the Merchant Guild. The Van Luthens, in particular, didn't have any favor for the house. Perhaps a trade dealing went awry and Ristel sent one of their special assassins. No one knows for sure, though. All anyone knows is that their bodies were found in a field several months after they should've been back home from another trade deal. Goodness knows how traumatic of an experience this must've been for poor, seven-year-old Penelope. She now had no parents. The only two people in the world that loved her more than anything were dead. Sure, the housekeeping staff would take care of her, and they did, but it just wasn't the same. While she didn't try to completely hide her emotions from the staff, she did save all of the crying for late at night when she was alone in her room. It seemed like Penelope would live this lonely life for the rest of her long days until someone very special came along.
The infamous Robert Sullivan came to young Penelope's aid. Turned out he was a distant relative of the Van Luthens. When asked why he had come to take care of the girl, he explained that once he heard the news of Medwin and Elmira's death, he knew he had to come help Penelope. There were no other relatives able to help at that time except him. He was very close with Medwin and Elmira. Robert said that Medwin considered him to be the brother he never had. He expressed sadness over the fact he wasn't able to be in their and Penelope's lives more often. He also wished he could've said goodbye. But the past is in the past and there is nothing Robert can do nowโฆ except take care of Penelope as his own personal way of saying goodbye to the late Medwin and Elmira Van Luthen. So, after Penelope packed all her things and said a tearful goodbye to the staff of the Van Luthen estate, Robert took the girl to his own home. There, Robert raised Penelope (whom he'd soon bestow her the nick-name of Pepper). He'd constantly remind her of how he saved her. Saved her from "eventual poverty", from "greedy, backstabbing nobles", and from many other terrible things. He seemed to have saved her from something new each day and Pepper never, ever let herself forget it. Robert also taught Pepper many skills, as well as introduced her to the world of industrial espionage. Being the innocent and ignorant girl she was, Penelope did whatever Robert told her to do, even if that meant stealing precious technology.
When Pepper turned fourteen, Robert sent her to Madame Geraldine's school for Gifted. Penelope was familiar with many of the subjects there, thanks to Robert, but the teachers at Geraldine's finally helped her truly excel. Penelope had a special love for potion making, which was something not even Robert taught her anything about. She enjoyed making healing potions but forced herself to focus on making poisons since that's what Robert told her to do. He also told her to work on her weapon-making skills and her offensive fighting abilities, which is what she did. Aside from the classes she was required to take, all of the additional classes you could choose to take were ones Robert asked Pepper to attend. Because of this, Pepper often found herself questioning the man as well as her loyalties to him. She'd immediately feel guilty for having these thoughts, though, and punished herself for them. Her arms made contact with a knife she made for far too many nights, however, thanks to her potions, she rarely even felt the pain.
While she as Geraldine's, Penelope met someone. A girl named Visia. They bonded quickly and became very close friends. Throughout their time at Geraldine's, they only had each other and nobody else. Despite the closeness of their relationship, Pepper never let Visia know what she did for Robert. He always made it very clear to Penelope that she was to never tell anyone about her special missions. Many times, Pepper felt upset that she couldn't tell Visia those secrets but she also suspected Visia was keeping secrets of her. Because of that, Pepper felt a little better about keeping those things from the girl.
After graduating from Madame Geraldine's, Pepper continued her industrial espionage work for Robert. Whenever she had the time, she would help at a local potion-making shop. Unfortunately, she never gets to do that as often as she wants to. Penelope also drifted apart from Visia after graduating. She has no idea where the girl is or what she's doing but she hopes to one day see Vis again.
