Penelope (The Art of Death)

Penelope was a human woman who worked at the Horizon Gallery. (AUDIO: The Art of Death)

Timeline 1
When she started to work at the Horizon Gallery Penelope had to watch over the Paradox chamber. She made sure that noone looked at it for to long. After some time Penelope heared a voice in her head telling her, that she was going to be the most famous woman on the planet. It turned out that this was the voice of the paradox.

Then the Eleventh Doctor appeared at the gallery and told her that something bad was going to happen. A claw touched Penelope's shoulder. It was a skeleton creature from a nightmare. It's mouth opened as if it was going to say something. However the Doctor stopped the monster, who just sayed one word "Stop". After it the creature disappeared.

Later the creature reappeared. It killed Geoffrin and Mr Silver, the manager of the gallery. Then the chamber with the Paradox was closed for several years. People could only view it from the outside.

When the chamber was reopened many people were attacked and Penelope turned blind. The Paradox still talked to Penelope in her head. It told her how to build a machine that should prevent her from dying. Penelope built the machine.

She later realised that by using the machine she became the creature who attacked all the people. The creature was an older self of her who wanted to warn her not to work at the gallery. That is why the creature had sayed "Stop" when Penelope first met it. The creature also wanted to take revenge on all the people who have wronged her, including Mr Silver and Geoffrin.

Later the creature became the Paradox, which was going to kill the whole Planet.

When Penelope realised that the Paradox was her older self she sacrified herself before becoming the creature and the Paradox. So in the new timeline the Paradox never existed and Penelope was guarding an empty chamber. (AUDIO: The Art of Death)

Timeline 2
Mr Silver hired Penelope to guard an empty chamber. The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams visited the Horizon Gallery and the chamber. The Doctor suggested to Penelope to fill the chamber with her own paintings. Penelope liked his suggestion.
