ROLE: technologies of vision, technologies of death

NAME: Penelope Sius

NICKNAMES: Circe (her username), Épi

AGE: 27

GENDER: female

SEXUALITY: bi

FACE CLAIM: Chloe Bennet

PERSONALITY: Épi is wicked sharp and delightfully intelligent. She understands coding and computers like she understands English, and she won't hesitate to use her extensive knowledge against people. She's charming, and enjoys acting as a spider - with a sticky web and light fingers. Épi isn't slow to let loose a sarcastic quip or a witty repartee to anything, really. She's self-serving and agrees that LIVE's work is necessary to find a cure.

LIKES: Épi hoards technology and books alike - she has a collection of three phones, four tablets and two laptops that she's bought herself and one pilfered laptop and four stolen USBs. Her library is filled with books of all kinds - fiction, fantasy, informative - and she was really mad when she realised she'd have to leave it behind to go to earth. She likes politics and word games and her favourite colour's red.

DISLIKES: Pen isn't the fondest of chocolate - blasphemy, I know - but she doesn't like sweets in general. She has a deep dislike of art and literature and she's terrified of the Infected.

FLAWS: Penelope is selfish and often only thinks of herself in situations. She's manipulative and can't be trusted. She has no regard for the rules, and a strong dislike of authority.

BACKSTORY: Penelope had a sister; Persephone Sius was one of the sweetest girls anyone knew. The sisters were thick as thieves, living together in Pen's flat, until Seph got infected by the flare. She was barely 15 at the time, and the sisters agreed to stay locked up in the house and hope no one noticed Seph's worrying symptoms. By the time they gave up hope, it was a little too late. Persephone was Infected. She tried to kilI Penelope, and she nearly would have managed it if Épi didn't find the courage to kilI her sister. It left Penelope with a terrible fear of the Infected and some nasty scars. Pen escaped to the Ethereal and put her past behind her. Nobody knows she had a sister, or how she got her scars.

QUOTES: "come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly"
"oh, I'm sorry I offended you. I honestly didn't think you could read."
