Penelope Dowry

Penelope Dowry is an OC created by ao3 author Chalalalalala and is one of the sixteen Ultimates who are part of the Everlock Branch of Hope's Peak in ''Escape the Ronpa. ''Her title is the Ultimate Hypnotist.

Appearance
Mystic has described Penelope as looking almost identical to Kirumi Tojo. (a character from the Danganronpa franchise) However this may not be the case.

Personality
Penelope is shown to be fairly stuck-up, but successful in what she does, priding herself on the years of work she placed into developing her hypnosis. She can also be seen as having a condescending air about her. In spite of this, Penelope can also become protective if need be, as well as caring. During the waking days of The Possession, she ran away in order to keep Chalalalalala and the others safe, as the Cursed God was planning to turn her into his personal hypnotist so that she could induct more people into his army.

In Escape the Ronpa: Season 1, Penelope develops a mutual crush on Tristen, one of the other Ultimates in the school. The two end up becoming girlfriends after an impromptu hypnosis session the night after the first trial reveals how Tristen reacts towards someone she has a crush on. From then on, Penelope is shown to be rather protective of Tristen, even threatening those who hurt her with hypnosis.

It's also revealed that Penelope is very serious about fulfilling the last requests of those who have died; after the second trial, she makes a promise to the culprit to put her girlfriend through a hypnosis session to help develop her self-confidence and self-esteem, as she is shown to be rather self-deprecating.

Childhood
Currently not much is known about Penelope's childhood. It's been confirmed by the creator that Penelope was a victim of emotional abuse during her childhood, being put under constant pressure to be the perfect daughter.

Due to her having her alter, Lilith, it is likely that at some point in her childhood, she developed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) due to the emotional abuse she was put through.

Penelope then went to an academy for those gifted in hypnosis. She was called in by the counselors for "sessions." These turned out to be hypnosis sessions her parents paid the school to do in order to make her fall in love with a young man named Horace.
