Character Details
Name: Penelope Dreden
Alias(es): Penny, Penny Dreadful
Race: Human Witch
Level: Advanced
Apparent Age: 22
True Age: 27
Type/Element of Magic: Alchemist
Weapons: An old athamé, Kahr CW9 9mm Luger handgun with Standard 9mm bullets
Profession: Waitress/Bartender. While this doesn't give her any exceptional skills, it does put food on the table. If she gets a good tip, anyway. Social interaction, attentiveness, sometimes even hearing juicy rumors! Great at mixing drinks.
Skills:
Speed reading. Loves to read. Especially romance novels! Terrible, terrible romance novels.
Conversational spanish, which she learned from the woman who taught her about gardening.
Herbalism. She learned some of this from the gardener at her school, and then began to self teach herself, reading many books on the subject. She would take some classes on the topic at a community college, though this was more about the science behind growing plants. She'll do what she can to grow her basic herbs indoors with heat lamps, and see what she can import or buy at local greenhouses.
Powers:
Alchemy. She can mix a mean potion, including love potions and salves for pain.
Spirit Sight. Family curse, passed down from her grandmothers, skipping every other generation. While it has its occasional uses, it does leave the user vulnerable to attack by the spirits they see, and they usually find that spirits don't like to be seen. The spirits can cause physical wounds and numbness when they attack; they wounds take longer than a usual wound to heal. She can use it once per day if she tries to, but it also leaves her with a migraine afterwards. Would this count as both a skill and weakness? Let me know.
Weaknesses:
* Bad eyesight. Penelope wears prescription glasses, which can affect her job, her life, her ability to mix things.
* Clumsy. While she's great with her hands, her feet don't always work as well as she'd like them to.
Nightmares: She is prove to having terrible nightmares; seeing shadow people in her room in the middle of the night, monsters in her dreams. She hasn't had a good solid night's rest in a long time. It makes her tired and hard to concentrate when she should be focusing.
From Spirit Sight above: Able to be harmed by the spirits she can see, as well as gets migraines from her sight beyond sight.
Addiction: Due to nightmares and a lack of sleep, she has shown that she easily gets addicted to caffeine. If she does not have her regular fix the nightmares get worse, she will suffer from bodily aches, migraines and tends to get her in a foul mood. She can get touchy, aggressive and depressed without her fix which can lead to complications with her social life and even outbursts of her magic which can be deadly in front of the wrong people.
electromagnetic energy: Produces a constant electromagnetic field which can only be controlled by drinking a specially made potion. This wears off in time and she must drink this regularly (Daily), though the ingredients are hard to come by especially up North in the winter. If she does not drink this her energy slowly gets stronger, starting at something like an electric shock to something more substantial to causing severe shocks/burns and causing heart problems for others if in close contact. She can also fry electronics such as your smart phone to your car.
RP-Hookups: Works as a waitress and bartender. People seem to drink a lot in this town!
