'Legacies': From temptress to fierce friend, here's why Penelope Park is a heroine in her own right

Penelope isn't afraid of telling you exactly what she thinks of your selfish behavior, even if you're the headmaster's daughter

While Hope Mikaelson may be the Tribrid who will lead us all to a better place, 'Legacies' has another hero in its midst. This one lurks on staircases, manipulates the entire school to get her way and is known to be a little less than friendly. Penelope Park, who has a bizarre way of showing she cares and a furious desire to protect her friends, is a heroine without a cape. Also, can we take a minute to appreciate that perfect lob?

The so-called "She Who Cannot Be Named", Penelope has just as much potential to lead the supernatural creatures of Salvatore School for the Young and the Gifted into the new world as Hope does. In fact, she could even make a better leader.
