Penelope – Keeper of the Cape, Weaver of Meaning

For twenty years, Penelope waits for Ulysses. Twenty years without knowing if he will return. Twenty years spent fending off suitors, protecting the kingdom, and maintaining unity. She does not merely wait; she acts discreetly. She weaves a shroud that she unravels every night to delay the inevitability of a forced choice. She creates time where there is none left. She resists without confronting, she governs without reigning. She is quiet faith, steering the course true even in the fog. She does not trust appearances. She believes in what she feels is right.
