Ah. I just needed a name. It was originally going to be Matthew, but I couldn't think of a last name. Sawyer came to me because of a friend's character, so I switched the name around to be Sawyer Matthews.
And had no clue about Lost Penny.
I've fallen in love with my Penny. She's cute and adorable, but try to call her pretty and she'll laugh at you. She's small and smart- she's an engineer- and while she's not real strong, she's tough as nails. She grew up on a ranch, so she can ride anything with four legs that she can catch, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty.
Because of her relationship with Sawyer, in her effort to be more fun, she wound up getting eight piercings during their six month relationship- three in each ear, belly button, and her nose. The nose caused the biggest fight in her house, and after she and Sawyer broke up, she took out the nose ring. She liked the others, though, so she's kept them, and she's considering getting other ones.
When she left home and started college, she decided to get some tattoos, as well. She's always liked dragons, so she has a chinese dragon on the small of her back. Her mom called her her little Pennyrose, so she got a rose on her hipbone, and her dad called her his little flutterby butterfly, so she got a butterfly on her left shoulderblade.
She still doesn't believe in love. But she's starting to want to with Rene, and that scares her to no end.
The fun thing with Penny and Rene is, he's French, so he'll lapse into French a lot around her. She's proving to be a quick study with the language, and typically only has to ask three times how to say something, or what something he says means, before she can repeat it back- with a horrible accent. She speaks French the same way she speaks Spanish, and he laughs every time she trills her 'r's, and has given up trying to teach her how to say an r like she's talking around marbles (her description, not his). But Penny grew up on the border between Texas and Mexico, and is fluent in Spanish. She even considered becoming a translator, but in the end, decided that engineering was what she loved best. So she'll occasionally lapse into Spanish around him- usually if he's just used French- or she'll give him a Spanish nickname. Or, if she wants to tell him something but is afraid, she'll say it in Spanish. Sometimes he'll let it slide, other times he makes her tell him what he said.
Unfortunately, he was in love with someone else, was going to run away with her to marry her (the running away part was for her protection, because another guy was going to kidnap her- and this gal is run by yet another person), but Rene was run over by a car the night he and Alice were supposed to run away. His life was saved, but through dubious measures (science experimentation, gotta love it) and he awoke with no memories and latched onto the first person he saw, one of the doctors. After three years, Rene was transferred to another office base (not the word I'm looking for, but it's 3:30 in the morning). Alice saw him, recognized him, but wasn't sure how to tell him. In the end, she didn't, because she was too chicken. Then she started to fall in love with someone else, and suddenly, it's safe to tell Rene. So she tells him, and he remembers all of it, and heartbreak, and the doctor that Rene latched onto when he first woke up pulls him through it.
And that's about the time that Penny and Rene met, and they're good friends, trusting each other with things that they don't trust most other people with, and Penny starts to fall for him. It's not looking good for her, though, because Rene is still hung up on Alice and the doctor.
Sawyer's a good name, but since Lost came along I just can't connect it with anyone else. As for Penny -- that's my sister's name! :-) The Penny on Lost doesn't have a huge role, but it's a pretty important one; you'll get to her someday.
In any case, it's clear that *your* Penny is a very well rounded character!
