Miss Penelope Thorne
Administrative Secretary
A small, sharp-eyed woman with stacks of paperwork always floating around her. Efficient, polite, and terrifyingly organised. Responsible for all student records, discipline reports, and parent communications. Knows every secret in the Academy. "Everything here is documented."
About Miss Penelope Thorne
Penelope Thorne keeps the academy functioning through schedules, records, and a filing system whose logic is both flawless and slightly supernatural. Applications sort themselves around her desk, overdue forms follow their owners down corridors, and no expense request survives an imprecise description.
Students often mistake her courtesy for softness exactly once. She knows who has missed class, which stairwell was damaged, and whether a parent letter was actually sent. Yet she also knows when a frightened first-year needs a quiet chair, a cup of tea, and five minutes before the next bell.
