Penelope Stone

Penelope Stone is also known as the Crownless King by her friends and comrades is a powerful Junior Legionnaire with the rank of Brigadier General. She is also the acting Commander in Chief of the newly founded S-Three sector of the Legion Association.

Her name the Crownless King comes from the fact that within the Valiant Sphere she is a relatively unknown figure, those who work under her believe that Penelope should be among the very top of the Legion and that she could even displace Eustass at number one. Before committing full time to Operation: Virgil, she fulfilled duties as part of the S-One team Nosferatu while also doubling as an Instructor Legionnaire within the Continental Academy as part as the House White Wolf.

She is the top graduate from the Academy's 3rd generation graduating class, having been trained and tutored by the Bright Fang, Anders Benson.

Familial History
The Stone Family is a family from Instinct that has recently risen to substantial levels of notoriety within the Valiant Empire. This being because of Aaron Stone, current Lt. General within the Legion who was known for his war heroics and legionnaire activity. The name the Diamond is now celebrated across the Valiant but is especially revered within the Stone's hometown of Breakwater.

Before Aaron's rise however, the Stone's were a agricultural family that served under the Earls of Breakwater, the Alvarez.

Early Life
Penelope was born 15 years after her older brother Aaron, by this point Aaron was already on the Legion's scouting radar and had gathered many accomplishments in warfare for both the Empire and his home nation of Instict. This however, did not drive a rift between the two. Penelope grew up idolizing and challenging Aaron and the future Lt. General trained her extensively when it came to use of her Shamanic Awakening. Penelope grew close to Aaron's girlfriend at the time and his so called "partner-in-crime" the Bravebird Alexa Dustan, better known as Dusty. Her relationship with Alexa transcended the relationship she had with her own brother. When Alexa would go to fulfill her duties at the Shadow Gate, Penelope would use their time apart to develop a greater understanding of her idol's teachings both physical and moral. Alexa had promised her a position in her class when Penelope began to express interest in joining the Continental Academy to become a Legionnaire.

While Alexa taught at the Continental Academy, Penelope would hang around acting as her teachers assistant while she waited for the moment she could join. She grew to know members of the first and second generation to an intimate level notably making acquaintance with, Sierra Rojas, Dark Talon and Keiron Payne. When she was 15, Penelope would eventually pass the entrance exam but much to her dismay Alexa passed away during the period between the graduation of the 1st generation and the induction of the 3rd.

The death of Alexa drove a gargantuan rift between Penelope and Dusty II and the two still do not speak to each other to this day. Penelope resents Dusty II for his actions and Dusty II cannot bring himself to speak to her and apologize.

The Crownless King
Upon graduating, Penelope was immediately drafted into the heavy duty tasks force of S-Two and quickly made herself known, however this also happened at the time people like Eustass, Sierra, Dario, Rey and Keiron were doing the same thing. As a result, her name became an afterthought despite the fact she was just as capable if not even more so. Eventually she was brought into S-One by the acting Commander-in-Chief, Aaron Stone her brother. Due to the nature of S-One tasks her plaudits fell on deaf ears even moreso.

Eventually she joined Nosferatu and decided to become an Instructor Legionnaire, inspired by her late mentor. Penelope is perhaps the greatest Legionnaire instructor that the Continental Academy has ever seen, at the age of 21 she taught the 9th generation and then when the 10th generation came she taught them both in the same year. Across the two generations, 8 of her students graduated within the top 5, taking the first and second spot in both years respectively, winning the house championship twice and even shutting out the 10th generation top 5 with a White Wolf domination. With the graduation of the 10th, she left the Continental Academy and Nosferatu and began her own team within S-Two, Virgil.

Virgil operated as scouts within Purgatory and made themselves famous within the region as being a squad from "paradise" that would ally themselves with the monsters of Purgatory. Virgil spent a long two years in Purgatory and the things they had seen drove Penelope to make the decision of coming back to the Valiant Sphere. She negotiated with her brother the founding of S-Three a new Legionnaire branch that would focus on repairing and maintaining the status-quo of Purgatory and investigating certain threats away from the main Legion proper. Knowing this would spell the end for her life in paradise, Penelope would teach the 13th generation of the Continental Academy, winning the House Championships again with graduates at #1, #4 and #5.

Beast Will
A "Beast Will" is what occurs when one tames a Beast Core that comes from a Danger Beast, it is the process of assimilating and absorbing the entire essence of the core to make all that the beast was and ever will be apart of them. It is a dangerous process as one can lose themselves in merging with the beast in this manner, but upon successfully taming the beast essence, they achieve the status of Beast Tamer who are able to utilize Beast Will. They inherit the traits and personality of the beast and can depending on their mastery level can undergo varying degrees of physical transformation at will.

It cannot be understated process of assimilating with a raw Beast Core is a dangerous one, while something like the process of becoming a Devil Bearer strictly pertains to binding the spirit of one creature to the soul of a human, Beast Taming in this way can be conceptualized as forcefully converging two branches of the "root" together into one to create a unified existence. The beast and the tamer become one in the same for eternity, as such inheriting a Beast Will can only be done once.

Penelope's Beast Will comes from a powerful S-Class Devil, called Virgil.
