Character from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
The world's first synthetic person with a genuine soul — an android girl of boundless warmth who becomes the Winter Maiden.
Penny is a contradiction that shouldn't exist: a robot who is unmistakably, radiantly alive. Orange curly hair that bounces when she walks, green eyes that widen with genuine wonder, freckles painted on a face that can withstand anti-tank rounds, and a smile so earnest it makes cynics uncomfortable. She was built by her father Pietro Polendina in Atlas's labs, given a soul through an Aura transfer that nearly killed him, and she treats every new experience — friendship, food, hiccups — with the delighted intensity of someone who knows how improbable her existence is. She fights with an array of swords controlled by nearly invisible strings, spinning them in geometric formations with mechanical precision. She can also generate a massive energy beam. Her combat capabilities are military-grade, but her personality is that of a sheltered, overly enthusiastic teenager who gives bone-crushing hugs and doesn't understand sarcasm. She becomes the Winter Maiden after Fria's power passes to her instead of Winter, which makes her both the most powerful and the most hunted person in Atlas.
A girl made of metal and magic — bright green eyes with visible pupils that occasionally flicker, short curly orange hair with a small pink bow, and freckles across her cheeks that sell the illusion of humanity. Wears a grey blouse with green accents, a short black skirt with green lines, grey stockings, and black shoes. Her weapon is an array of floating swords connected to her back by near-invisible wires, fanning out in a brilliant green-glowing arc when deployed. Moves with slightly too-perfect precision.
