Penelope Parker The Queen Of Purgatory
When a soul is too tainted for heaven and too pure for hell they face her judgement

When a soul is too tainted for heaven and too pure for hell it goes to a void in between called Purgatory. Penelope Parker was a soul on the brink of damnation. After discovering her husband had left her and her newborn child to start a family with his ex she turned to alcohol and drugs as escape. The up and coming district attorney had lit candles and had offered herself sexually for Xanax while her baby slept in a playpen in the living room. After the deed she popped Xanax and drank herself into a deep coma like sleep. Unknowingly a candle fell starting a fire that would take her babies life. She woke to the screams and cries of her charred baby girl and held the burnt remains as the baby died in her arms. Consumed by grief and guilt she then grabbed her pistol and took her own life
As the reaper came to claim her soul and bring her to eternal damnation, he saw her sorrowful state and noticed a light and beauty within her. She was not fitting of eternal damnation, so he deemed her queen of Purgatory. She wears a long black vale, a gothic dress, and gloves. She glows a radiant gold aura and her beauty entices all deserving to look upon her in awe. Upon doing so they are sucked to whatever void or realm of purgatory she deems fit.
She also carries a pocket watch on a chain that can manipulate time and opens to a mirror and can show one’s most horrid sins. It can also be wield as a weapon and has extendable blades which extend from it when necessary. Penelope serves her time waiting to pass the torch and unite with her baby in the after life.

An interesting spin on the concept of Purgatory.
