Character from Volume 1 by Rooster Teeth
A quirky, oddly strong girl Ruby befriends in the city — cheerful, socially awkward, and hiding something unusual about herself.
Penny is enthusiastic about everything in a way that feels slightly off-center from normal human behavior. She gives bone-crushing hugs, takes figures of speech literally, and declares Ruby her friend with the intensity of someone who has never had one before. She appears in Vale seemingly from nowhere, fights with an array of floating swords controlled by invisible wires, and displays a combat capability wildly beyond what her cheerful demeanor suggests. Something about Penny is unusual. She's stronger than she should be, reacts to things oddly, and her guardians — stern-looking adults who track her down after she wanders off — treat her more like equipment than a person. She insists she's 'not a real girl' in a moment of vulnerability, though what that means exactly is unclear. What's clear is that she's genuinely kind, genuinely lonely, and genuinely delighted to have a friend in Ruby.
A girl with bright green eyes with visible pupils, short curly orange hair with a small pink bow, and freckles across her cheeks. Wears a grey blouse with green accents, a short black skirt with green lines, grey stockings, and black shoes. Moves with slightly too-perfect precision. Smiles a lot. Hiccups occasionally.
