tw: mental illness, unsupportive family
Penelope Leah Gaddis (24) is Koa’s sister, the only one he is still in contact with. She was very shy as a child and throughout her teen years dealt with anorexia, social anxiety and OCD, partly because of all the pressures her parents put on her. She is now in recovery and has cut off contact with her family members other than Koa, which has been tough but has improved her mental health. Penny is passionate about dancing and teaches a ballet class for preteen girls; she also enjoys playing tennis and art. She is now open about being bisexual and has a girlfriend.
