FULL NAME: Penelope Serafine McCarthy
NICKNAME(s): P, Pen (most common), Penny, Princess (only by her brother/mother)
CALL SIGN:N/A
BIRTH DATE: April 5th
AGE: 31
HEIGHT: 5’6
WEIGHT: 145ibs
EYE COLOR: Brown
HAIR COLOR: Brown
HOMETOWN: New Orleans, Louisiana
MARITAL STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: L.A. P.D officer
MARKINGS: Small birthmark behind her left knee, has a small line tattoo of a dragon on the small of her back, right above her right butt cheek. Her waistband thankfully covers it. (But barely)
SPECIALTIES: Firearms, hostage negotiations, working with kids, high-stress situations, PSBD (public safety bomb disposal)
PERSONALITY:
Pen brings all the southern hospitality manners she can, wherever she goes. She can be as sweet as a beignet, or as ruthless as a gator in the bayou.
Pen has a good head on her shoulders and genuinely wants to help people. She has a large heart and sometimes cares a bit too much, to the point she takes losses excruciatingly hard. She does well at hiding it, save for those that really know her. Always putting on a brave face, always being that calm in the chaos.
Pen has that responsible aura about her implies she’s not one for nonsense on a case and is very careful. She is, but she also has a hidden competitive side that will come out when one least expects it and she’s more likely to actually be mischievous if she knows she can win. She’ll be subtle about it of course. Penny’s emotions really show in her eyes and they can be quite expressive.
In a tense situation, you want Penny calling the shots, able to think quickly and calmly about the situation at hand. She’s a steady rock for those around her, and even though she might be terrified as well, you won’t know it. She hates showing anyone her true feelings and is fiercely protective of those she cares about.
Her southern charm makes it easy for her to get along with nearly everyone and she tends to go out of her way to make newcomers and victims feel welcome.
Fun facts:
- Loves her leather jacket more than anything.
- Likes to dress comfortably in an edgy tomboy-like style.
- If her hair is ever pulled back or up, she’s really thinking about something/focused.
- She keeps a little stuffed crawdad in her desk from her mama and will pull it out when she misses her or has a rough day/wants some comfort.
- Has a stainless steel coffee mug she bedazzled with bright purple and pink gemstones so she’d always know which it was hers, and so no one else from work would steal it.
- Stress cooks (makes southern comfort food, enough to feed an army.)
- Avoids her brother when she can at work.
- Is still trying to get over her old breakup and is attempting to start dating again. This time she’s slowly starting to see one of the guys from accounting named Jeff.
- Likes to sing in the shower even if it’s off-key.
FACTS:
- Born the youngest child to a biracial couple. (Her mother has old creole roots and her daddy came from Scotland)
- Her older Brother TJ works in Missing Persons at the same district as her.
- Always knew she wanted to help people, and cleaning up the crime scene in New Orleans seemed like a good way to go about it. Especially when her father was murdered in a hit-and-run.
- Was a beat cop in New Orleans when she first started out and worked hard to move up the ladder.
- Over the course of a few years, she worked with high-risk cases involving hostage situations, shootouts, bomb threats, and the like. She’s had to diffuse more bombs than she’d like but has ridiculously steady hands when she needs to.
- Eventually wanted a change of pace, and moved out to LA. Her brother TJ the following suit soon after.
- Pen started work with the L.A.P.D where she eventually met Nate Cross.
- Dated Nathan Cross for four years, agreeing to move in with him after the second. Penny believed he might be the one and thought they were quite the pair. Having the qualities that the other lacked made them a good team. It wasn't until Nathan's brother died tragically during the third year that things changed. Nate turned in on himself, started to shut everyone out. Including her. Despite this, she tried to pick up the slack around the house, giving him the time he needed to grieve, but after a year of him becoming a man she didn't even recognize anymore, she decided to leave. Nate came home in the middle of her packing her things and the two entered a heated argument, which resulted in them breaking up. Penny managed to make it to her brothers place before she inevitably broke down, claiming she'd "lost him." Of the few breakups she's actually had, Nate's hurt the worst and she struggled without him. Feeling like a piece of her died with him. She started drinking to try and cope. She nearly drunk called Nate on several occasions, and after she mistakenly called her brother instead of Nate, TJ realized it had become a problem and knocked some sense into her.
- After moving in with TJ for a short amount of time, Pen put up high walls and an air that everything was fine when it certainly was not.
- Eventually, she learned how to deal with the numbness and ache in her chest and turn it into anger whenever she sees Nate, as its the only way she can cope with the void he’s left behind.
- Is in for a large surprise when she finds out who her knew partner is.
