Pennylane " Pen " Winslow (21) is Emmeliese’s younger sister and friendly acquaintance of Clover, although they don’t know each other well enough to be called friends. This mostly stems from the fact horses have never been a particular passion for Pen - instead what she always loved most about their grandparents farm were the goats, who’s personalities she still remembers perfectly. She was always more openly upset by this turn of events, admittedly being a very sentimental person who has an especial soft spot for her family, but the fact Emmeliese has been able to continue her passion is a consolation for Pen. They share a close bond, in spite of having largely belonged to very different social groups throughout school: usually you’d find Pen being more laissez-faire about everything and she sometimes skipped class with her friends if it meant going for an adventure somewhere more scenic and peaceful. This confused some of her teachers as she took her exams seriously and studied hard, being a dedicated sciences student who always engaged happily in lessons - and spared her from being penalised more.
Currently, Pen’s studying to become a vet, with hopes on specifying for the agricultural sector. She considers farm animals to be somewhat overlooked and feels a real calling to caring for them, having rescue chickens of her own: Ludmila and Queenie. Pen’s remained at home while attending university because of how her intensive course doesn’t allow much time for working a proper job - a little frustrating for Pen as she loves going on day trips with her friends, but she does captioning work online when needing extra cash as it can be done at her convenience. Her sister is someone she visits frequently though, and Pen’s been helping Emmeliese with decorating her place in exchange for how often she’s around. While she doesn’t consider herself the greatest artist in the world, she has been working on a mural for her sister with some help from a good friend - an arts student - although never ask Pen for help with anything minimalist as she loves all her trinkets and keepsakes.
Growing up, Pen wasn’t a massive fan of her full name - she found it a bit over the top - but now she does have a soft spot for its uniqueness and how it fits her generally laidback vibe. She loves going swimming outdoors, free climbing or just hanging out somewhere picturesque with her friends. Environmentalism is unsurprisingly an issue Pen’s strongly invested in and she’s involved with a nonprofit that goes litter picking in local parks to protect the wildlife, but tends to not mention this much as she cannot stand sounding preachy or like she’s just in it to look better.
