Penelope Marshston

Penelope Marshston is an original character and the main antagonist of The Hell that Walks: Season 1.

Personality
Penelope is incredibly rude, disrespectful, and power hungry. She commonly shows no remorse for her actions, and is rather sadistic, such as her murder of Chris.

It is said by Terrance that Penelope was at one point a loving and caring mother. However, after her daughter's death in a hit and run, she became incredibly cynical.

Pre-Apocalypse
Before the apocalypse, she was a former preschool teacher and had known Terrance before the outbreak. She also had a daughter, who was killed in a hit and run, causing her to go into a deep depression and begin a more cynical and sinister personality.

Post-Apocalypse
At some time during the apocalypse, she along with Terrance and his fiance, Isabel, joined Evan's group. One night however, she and another member, Wendell, overthrew Evan, killed his daughter, and left him for dead. She and Wendell then proceeded to become co-leaders, and lure survivors into a trap to play Russian Roulette with them, with Zoey and Paul being among them.

The People that Change
Penelope is first indirectly mentioned by Matt, as before he got separated from the group, he claims to have saw someone in the bushes, later revealed to be Penelope.

Penelope first appears in person aiming a gun at Leon, threatening to shoot him in panic. When Ray distracts her, her gun is taken from her by Leon, and later when she tries to get her gun back by force, she accidentally fires, attracting a horde.

When Ray is put down, she suggests feeding his body to the beasties, which is unanimously frowned upon. She then attempts to assume leadership, and Leon challenges her to see who can gather more supplies, with the winner becoming leader. She agrees, and chooses Chris and Jenny.

Our Evils and Sins
Her next appearance is when she recognizes Terrance, prompting Leon to become suspicious of her.
