“Penny lives with her mom, Pam, in a little trailer by the river. While Pam is out carousing at the saloon, Penny quietly tends to her chores in the dim, stuffy room she is forced to call home. She is shy and modest, without any grand ambitions for life other than settling in and starting a family. She likes to cook (although her skills are questionable) and read books from the local library.”
Penny is a villager who lives in Pelican Town. She's one of the twelve characters available to marry. Her trailer is just east of the center of town, west of the river.
Schedule
Penny can usually be found in town reading or cleaning up at the trailer she shares with Pam. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday she tutors Jas and Vincent at the museum, walking them both home afterwards. She doesn't tutor in the Summer season. Many Saturdays in Spring and Fall she'll take them to the town playground.
On the 4th of Winter, she has an appointment at the clinic.

Relationships
Penny lives with her mother Pam. She's friends with Maru and Sam.
She also teaches the local children, Jas and Vincent, at the museum a few days a week and accompanies them to the playground sometimes.
During the eight-heart cutscene, Vincent remarks that he once saw Sam and Penny climbing trees, at which Penny becomes visibly startled and scolds Vincent for gossiping. ConcernedApe has explained that he "wasn't trying to imply anything serious" with the scene regarding a continuation of Penny's interest in Sam. "[A]t 8 hearts...she's not actually interested in Sam anymore."[1]
Enter Pelican Town on a sunny day between 9am and 2pm.
상세
George looks into his mailbox and wonders how he'll reach a letter in the back. Penny notices and gets the letter out for him. George is upset at being seen helpless and scolds her. Penny sees you and asks if you were watching them.
"I was. You did a kind thing there, Penny."(우정 +50) Penny thanks you, but is unhappy that George was upset.
"You should've left him alone. Now he's grumpy."(우정 -50) Penny apologises to George.
"I'm just taking a walk, minding my own business."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) Penny responds "I see".
Regardless of your choice, George sighs and apologises to Penny for getting angry. He says it was very kind of her to help. Penny says she understands. After George leaves, Penny says it must be difficult growing old.
"I'd rather not think about it."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "I guess you're right... why stress out about something you can't change?"
"It's just a different part of life."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "You're right, we shouldn't ignore the reality of aging. I guess the sooner we come to terms with our mortality, the more time we can spend really living in the here-and-now."
"That's why we should respect our elders."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "That's nice of you to say... I totally agree with you. We should treat our elders with the same respect we hope to receive ourselves some day."
"I'd rather die young..."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "That's a horrible thing to say. Life is a precious thing to waste like that!"
Penny complains about how messy the place is, and asks if you could help her clean up. As you do so, Pam returns home and yells at Penny for letting someone else clean her home. Pam eventually asks you to leave, and they continue their discussion privately. Pam admits that she's embarrassed to have strangers clean up the house. The next day, you get a letter of apology from Penny.
Note that this event will not trigger if the player has purchased the Community Upgrade.
"(Lie) Mmm! That was delicious!"(우정 +50) She responds: "You really mean it? Thank you! ... it's such a relief to hear that. I've been working so hard on this recipe, and I'm really proud of it. Hey, since you're the first person to try it, I'm going to name this one 'Chili de <your name>'."
"Uh... can I get the rest to go?"(우정 -50) Penny is crestfallen and says her recipe was a failure.
"Well it's definitely unique... how did you get it so rubbery?"(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) Penny is crestfallen and says her recipe was a failure.
Regardless of your choice, she invites you to watch a movie together and your energy is increased by 165.

Penny is on a field trip with Jas and Vincent. Penny asks you if you'd like to be a guest speaker and share your experience about the countryside with the children.
"I'd love to!"(우정 +10) She responds, "Great! Let me just call the children over."
"Sure."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "Great! Let me just call the children over."
"No... I can't stand kids."(우정 -1500) She responds, "Really?... Uh... Well, alright. I guess I'll see you later then." The scene ends.
If you agree to speak to the kids, you're prompted for a number of dialogue options (which have no effect on friendship). Afterwards Penny tells the children to run along and asks you if you'd like to be a parent.
"I haven't really thought about it."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "Oh no? Well, I guess that makes sense... you're busy with other things right now."
"Absolutely. I want a big family."(우정 +20) She responds, "... Me too. I'm glad you feel that way."
"I guess so. It's a natural urge."(우정 +20) She responds, "Yes... the urge to care for something innocent and helpless. It makes sense that we'd feel that."
"No, I don't think I'd be good at it."(우정 +10) She responds, "Oh, really? I think you'd make a good parent."
"No, The world's crowded enough already."(우정 -10) She responds, "hmm... If everyone thought like that, humans would die out."
"No, I don't want to be tied down with a family."(우정 -10) She responds, "Oh... That's kind of sad... but I guess I can understand your point."
The scene fades and she thanks you for showing up.
Ten Hearts

상세
Penny joins you in the pool. She asks if you know why she invited you here.
"You have something to tell me."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "That's right..."
"I'm not exactly sure."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "Really? I thought you'd have noticed by now..."
"You wanted to see me in my bathing suit."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다) She responds, "No!"
Penny confesses her feelings for you.
"I feel the same way about you."(우정에 영향을 미치지 않습니다)
If the player is male, she responds, "...Oh, <your name>. I thought you did, but I wasn't sure. ...I'll always remember this night." You kiss and the scene ends.
If the player is female, she responds, "...Oh, <your name>. I thought you did, but I wasn't sure. You look so beautiful tonight... I... *gasp*" You kiss and the scene ends.
"Sorry, but I don't like you in that way..."(우정 -1500) She bursts into tears and the scene ends.
Once married, Penny will move into the farmhouse. Like other marriage candidates, she will add her own room to the right of the bedroom. She'll also set up a small garden behind the farmhouse where she'll sometimes go to read. She will continue to work at the Museum and travel to town to work there on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
"This is such a small town. You can't avoid meeting everyone."
"I wonder what is like to live in the city?"
"I've lived in Pelican Town my whole life. Can you believe that? I guess there's a lot out there I'll never experience."
"The raindrops are really loud on the metal roof of our trailer... It's soothing, though."
"I've been trying to keep our place clean, but it always gets messy again. It's hard to run a household all by yourself."
"It's kind of embarrassing to be the only family in town who lives in a trailer. I wish I could live in a nice house, someday."
"I'm tutoring Vincent and Jas today... They're a handful, but it's nice to make a difference in someone's life."
"We don't have a school here but I'm doing my best to give Vincent and Jas a proper education. Every child deserves a chance to be successful."
"Jas is very good at math and reading. Vincent is good at... well, he has an active imagination!
"We're very lucky to have a library in such a small town."
"Things changed a lot after the JojaMart went up. It's been really bad for Pierre's shop. Mom loves JojaMart, though. The prices are cheap, so she can afford a lot more there than she ever could at Pierre's."
"My mother used to drive the bus to Calico Desert... But the bus stopped working a few years ago. Mayor says there's not enough money in the town coffers, or else he'd have it fixed."
"When you're lost in a book, it's easy to forget the realities of your life... Maybe that's why I like reading so much... Sorry. I got carried away there."
"Wow, you look really handsome today! Did you shave?"
"Hmm... Maybe I should experiment with a new recipe. You liked the last recipe I made, didn't you, honey? What was it called... 'Chili de [Player]?'"
"We have it good here. We should always try and remember those less fortunate than us. I'm just grateful for what we have."
"I was just admiring my wedding amulet... The shell is flawless. It must have cost you a fortune!"
"Was I shy when we first met? It's funny to think about, now that we've come so far."
"Hi honey, if I knew more about farm work I'd help you out more. Sorry!"
"I'll be thinking of you."
"Life sure is different since we got married..."
"I knew you were the one from the moment you moved here..."
"[Player]? I just want to say that I appreciate all the hard work you do for our household."
"I wonder if Maru and Dr. Harvey will ever get together? I'm sure Harvey likes her..."
"I think Maru will have to make the first move, though."
"Spring is probably my favorite season. There's a certain freshness in the air that fills me with hope."
"Ah, the 'spring cleaning'... I'm going to actually enjoy this."
"Summer may be searing hot, but the humidity feels great on the skin."
"In summer, the ants become very active. I could watch them for hours... they have a pretty complex civilization from the looks of it!"
"It's summer... That means the house is full of flies. Don't worry, I'll take care of them."
"*phew*... I need to eat more melon to combat this heat!"
"Sorry if I smell... I was sweating all night in the heat."
"Fall... It makes me think of colored paper and glue. Maybe I'm spending too much time with the children."
"Will you grow any giant pumpkins this year?"
"Winter's around the corner. We need to double check the heat system, turn off the valves, and check all the insulation in the house. Don't worry, I'll take care of it all."
"Winter's a good time to unwind a bit. You deserve it after the long year!"
"How will we stay afloat this winter? Oh, you don't have to tell me... I trust you to make the right decisions."
"Thanks for the great year, [Player]. I'm excited to tackle the next year together."
Morning
There may be days when Penny stays on the farm or even solely inside the farmhouse. On these days, she might say:
"Don't worry about me... I know you've got a lot of responsibilities outside of the house. I'm fine in here by myself!"
"Oh, I'm not bored... I'm just enjoying what we have here. It's a simple life, but I like it."
On rainy days Penny dialogue will change:
"On days like this, I love to curl up with a good book."
"The sound of rain used to bother me, when I lived in that old metal trailer. But it's quite soothing here."
"On rainy days my thoughts always drift toward cinnamon and cookies."
If Penny makes a breakfast:
"Good morning, [Player]! I made you a hot breakfast.
"It's important to me that you leave here with a full belly."
If Penny is on her room:
"I always wanted my very own library. This is so charming."
"I like to do a little reading first thing in the morning. It gets my brain into gear."
If Penny helped in the farm she will have other lines of dialogue:
"I got up early and watered some crops for you. I hope it makes your job a little easier today."
"I spent the morning repairing a few of the fences. They should be as good as new."
"I also filled [pet's name] water bowl."
If Penny is leaving for the day and will return home later, she may say (regardless of whether or not she is working):
"I have to go into town today. Don't work too hard, and eat something good for lunch!"
"I'm going to head into town today, just for fun. I'll be back in awhile!"
Penny's look evolved over the years the game was in development.
Here's a timeline showing how ConcernedApe's art and Penny's style changed over the years before the game was launched.
