Lady Penelope Grove is the only daughter out of four children of the fifth Marquess of Pendleston, Benjamin William Grove, and his lovely late Marchioness, Marianne Marie Grove. She is currently enjoying her second Season in London with her father and eldest brother [Patrick Grove| Patrick Grove], the Earl of Stanwood. She is supposed to be in search of a husband, but has decided to put that on the back burner for a bit and have fun, since men in general are dull and confusing creatures.

Childhood

Penelope is the the middle child and only daughter in a world of men. She is the jewel of the family, having always been a very amusing girl. As a very small child, Penny loved to toddle around, following anybody who would listen to her. She would hold onto the skirts of whomever was closest, be it her mother, her nursemaid, or even a servant who was bustling here or there. She was not one to discriminate, and would try to keep up with her chosen person for the day, pointing and asking questions about everything. She was most often found in her father's study, sitting with a book as big as herself in her lap, sucking her thumb and looking at the pictures.

Her parents were extremely social people in their younger years, always throwing parties and galas, and in turn befriended many other couples of the peerage with children her age. Her childhood included play dates with Charity Pritchard, Elise Hampton, Nicholas Gosling, William Gosling, and Daniel Rossington.
