— 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 Penelope's family story goes like this — the prince is searching for a wife, specifically a princess. He looked all over and none of the princesses met his expectations. They weren't "true" princesses. After searching, the prince came back home, sad that he couldn't find a wife. But one day, there was a terrible storm and a women covered in rain and looking very messy shows up at their doorstep, asking for shelter and claiming she is a real princess. The queen didn't believe the woman and made her sleep on twenty mattresses then laid a pea under them, and then put twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses. The next day the prince and the queen asked the woman how she slept, and she said quite poorly and said that she must have been sleeping on something hard. The prince and the queen knew that she was a real princess because only a true princess could be so sensitive to that. The prince and princess marry and the pea is put into a museum. Since her family's stories are so set on finding "true" princesses, Penelope comes from a family that has a lot of expectations. Since she was a child, she was taught the top three things that a princess needs to be. Graceful, Dutiful, and Sophisticated. A girl of her status needs to act a certain way. Especially since her fairytale isn't apart of the "Big Three" fairytales. Penelope had everything she could want, and was quite spoiled, but she didn't let that affect her. She grew up being close to many of the other students who are also royalty.
