Penelope Ebrim

Penelope, a character in The Royal Romance and The Royal Heir series, is one of the Prince's suitors. She is first seen in The Royal Romance, Book 1, Chapter 3.

Appearance
Penelope has black hair which she styles in a bun. She has fair skin and blue eyes, and wears a dark blue dress.

Personality
She is shown to be very loving towards dogs, specifically her poodles. She also has low self-esteem and is easily manipulated and influenced by others. She tries very hard to fit in with Madeleine's expectations but eventually submits to the pressures of court.

It is hinted that she is suffering from anxiety and that her pet poodles are emotional therapy animals. This is confirmed by her in Book 2 if you adopt the corgi.

Events in The Royal Romance
Sometime before the stop at Applewood Manor in the tour, Penelope had been approached by Bastien for an opportunity to stay in the Palace as a lady-in-waiting if she did what he had asked. He asked her to hire a photographer and make Tariq think his room was the room that Your Character was actually staying in. She did all that reluctantly and reveals all this in Book 2, Chapter 8 to Your Character and Hana at a Parisian fashion show, adding that she didn't want to do it but she was always under pressure from her parents to stay in Court and do well. From then on, it is up to the player to decide whether or not she is nice to Penelope.

Your Character
Penelope does not dislike you, but because she is jealous of your popularity at court and relationship with the Prince, she takes part in the plot against you by asking a maid to perform a 'prank' and also sends a photographer payment for taking a photo of the incident. She reveals that Bastien was also part of the plot. In Chapter 10, Penelope asks you for forgiveness, and it is up to the player on how to respond to her apology. Whatever your choice, she is still a part of the Cordonian court. In Book 3, Madeleine suggests you to convince her to attend your wedding. If you don't impress her, she won't return to court nor attend your wedding. But if you impress her, she would not only return to court and attend your wedding, but she'd consider you as one of her best friends as well.

In Book 3, Chapter 17, you have the option to choose her as your Maid of Honor.
