Penelope was never particularly liked by the Cargan family. Maybe it was bad blood, or maybe it was her penchant for getting into trouble as a child no matter what her parents told her to do and expecting to be bought out of it. Eventually enough was enough and Penelope was told to leave and come back when she had learned how to act like an adult.

So off she went, travelling the world as best she could, using up what money she was able to smuggle out with her to pay for Wayfinders to help her get around until eventually she disappeared completely for months, reappearing only when she arrived back at the Cargan estate declaring that she had found religion and was now a devout Priestess of the Leader.

Dubiously she was let back in, but without any of the benefits the rest of the Cargan family enjoy until she truly proves herself to have changed.

Update as of The Penitent Damned: Penelope has gained the favour of her dear Uncle Walter after doing a number of jobs with him and, more in particular, saving his life and helping uncover a conspiracy by Gaspard Cargan to ban mages. She was restored to the House, gaining again the advantages of being a Cargan.

Update as of Ocean of Nightmares: Penelope has been outed as a Traitor Priest by using a Traitor Miracle to help take on a Dragon. Uncle Walter expressed surprise that Penelope was as competent a liar as that and threw her a party… long story short, she's now in charge of the First Acryn Church of the Traitor. Well, the first public one.

Other

• A part of the puppet masters essence was trapped in Penelope's soul by Booker. His power broken he has no control over Penelope. She is now immune to any magic he may attempt to cast on her in the future and will instantly recognise his control on any other controlled individual she meets.
• Penelope is in charge of the First Acryn Church of the Traitor (which everyone is weirdly okay with except Vincent Cargan who is not okay with it).
