I'm a man of wealth and taste...
Appearance: From her mother, Penny inherited her heart-shaped face and poker-straight red hair; from her father she got height and elegant features. These should add up to, if not gorgeousness, at least prettiness, but on Penny it looks slightly…wrong.
As if she were constructed by somebody who had heard about beauty, seen beauty, but didn’t quite understand the concept, she has ended up rather gangly, uncomfortable in her body and just not quite fitting together right. Currently, she’s just under 5’ 10” tall, but it seems like she never stops growing.
She loves pretty dresses, but has a tendency to rip them, stain them or just grow out of them, so usually her clothes are specifically chosen as being hardwearing and easily let out. On the other hand, although they usually come from the tailor’s quite plain, Penny has a penchant for making them her own in a very distinctive way, with embroidery and additions. Her sewing tends to be a little messy, but she’s very careful and painstaking when working, so it ends up all right. A little crooked, but all right.
Personality: Although Penny is ultimately rather insecure and hates to be the first to do something, she is something of a natural optimist. As she says (in a thick Geordie accent that no amount of elocution lessons seem to be able to chase away), there’s no point living life if you don’t live life to the full, and it’ll all be fine in the end.
She is a great believer in achievement through hard work, and although her grades are about average, she is always ready with an answer if asked. Whether the answer is right is quite another matter, but if she gets something wrong, it’s not for want of trying.
She also suffers from the clumsiness and insecurity that comes with going from being one of the smallest in your class to being taller than a lot of the boys in a scant couple of years. She still doesn’t seem to have registered that she is now among the older ones in the school, and still thinks as herself as a shy eleven-year-old.
However, let Penny within three miles of art materials (any art materials, she’s really not bothered) and suddenly her whole demeanour changes. Penny with a paintbrush is instantly confident in her movements, swift and graceful and very talented. It rather surprises people who don’t know her, that a rather inept and well-meaning girl like her suddenly becomes focused and completely self-confident.
Penny ended up in the Suck-ups somewhat by default, by dint of being too rich for the Pity Party, not pretty enough for the Pretty Faces, not confident enough for the Unloved or the Misfits and not popular enough for the Floaters. Her aim is to feel secure in her friendships, and she thinks that if she can just get into the right clique she might make more friends.

I've been around for a long, long year...
History: Penny’s father, Ian Hutchinson, is a Newcastle boy born and bred, but inherited his father’s immense business empire, which incorporates about a tenth of Newcastle’s thriving industry, upon the old man’s retirement. Her mother, Hannah, was the daughter of the owner of a rival factory. They met and fell in love. Since his family, getting all their riches from a self-made man, had no huge problem with the fact that she was socially below them, he married her the next summer.
Penny was born a year later, and after her followed two sisters and four brothers. In accordance with their grandfather’s wishes, all the children (and their many cousins) have received the education that he never had.
It was he, Vincent Peter Hutchinson, who taught the young Penny to draw. She was always his favourite among his many grandchildren, and he saw her crying because she felt so useless. From six years old, he tutored her, being not at all bad at drawing himself (he used to joke that he'd always dreamed of being a painter, but a few mistakes in life had led to him being the richest man in the North-East instead). When she was ten, for example, he took her further up north to the pits in Stanhope, where she met the miner’s painting club.
Vincent died when Penny was fifteen, at the age of eighty-one. She was devastated, and even more so at his funeral. In fact, she ended up missing a term of school because she had trouble coming around to a world without her Grandpa in it. She never took off the necklace he gave her (she still doesn't. It's a black chain with a pendant carved of the first piece of coal from the first of his mines hanging from it).
She still misses him, but she’s alright now. She visits his grave whenever she goes home, and tells him about school. She skips over the boring bits. He never wanted to hear those. And every time Penny Hutchinson goes back to Florence, she leaves a drawing on the grave.
Family: Ian (father), Hannah (mother) Ashleigh(15), Sam(13), James(10), Simon(6), Holly(4) and the baby, Peter.
Anything you'd like to add? fNoooope
