Penelope

About the Job

Character is a Black, AAPI, Latino, White, MENASA, Native, or Indigenous 12 or 13-year-old girl. Penelope is the most popular girl at school, polished, influential, and always one step ahead of the social curve. A devoted superfan of Fatima, she sees Aurora as both a curiosity and an opportunity, cozying up to her with strategic friendliness fueled by jealousy and ambition. Penelope comes from an entertainment-industry family (mom is a talent manager of Fatima’s rival), which gives her early fluency in clout, access, and optics. While Penelope’s charm often reads as confidence, Aurora can immediately sense the insecurity underneath, and that honesty disarms her in ways Penelope isn’t prepared for. She leads a tight clique at school, but her relationship with Aurora becomes complicated, blurring the line between genuine connection and self-interest. SUPPORTING. Rate: $307.50 +10%/day
