Penny Polendina

Appearance
Penny looks like a teenage girl with bright green eyes, pale skin, and a few freckles. Her hair is short, orange and curly, with a single small lock poking up from the top of her head. Her hair comes down to her chin and she typically wears a pink bow on the back of her head. A thin layer of skin covers her mechanical body, and her irises are similar to a camera shutter.

She wears a whitish-gray blouse with a decidedly old-fashioned style. The outfit includes short gray overalls, and black and green collar and matching stockings. She often wears a small thin backpack as well. This backpack contains her weapon, known as the Floating Array.

Penny’s movements tend to be stiff and robotic, though she is capable of a smooth range of motion. She will hiccup uncontrollably when she tells a lie.

Powers
Aura: Penny is the first synthetic being capable of manifesting her own Aura. This allows her to use it for defense, healing, and whatever else Aura can do.

Strength: Penny’s robotic body has immense strength, capable of stopping a runaway armored truck with her bare hands.

Floating Array: Penny has a series of multiple, matching short swords she can control with simple movements of her hands. She can manipulate every sword simultaneously up to a great distance. These swords are connected to her by thin strings attached to the hilts. When she brings the swords together they can fire energy blasts, either as a single large blast or as multiple smaller blasts. When not in use, the swords fold in half lengthwise for easier storage.

Mobility: The strings that connect Penny to her Floating Array allow her to pull herself around by embedding themselves into other objects. She can also use this to anchor herself or pull large objects toward herself. Additionally, she can use the energy blasts as thrusters, which lets her jump great distances or move quickly through the air.

Talents
Penny was designed to serve as the latest mechanical defense system for the Kingdom of Atlas. She can quickly analyze her environment, assess threats and determine the most efficient course of action to deal with them. Penny is programmed with a wealth of knowledge, though her lack of experience leaves her with a great lack of understanding of what most of it means.

Interests
Penny views the world with child-like wonder and eagerly embraces new experiences and new people. She is interested in anything and everything.

History
Penny began as a top-secret project for the Altesian Military. She was created by Pietro Polendina, her father, who transferred some of his own Aura to her in order to give her the ability to produce her own. Her abilities were intended to be presented before an international audience on the stage of the 40th Vytal Festival in Vale, but shortly after arriving in Vale she wandered through a portal and stepped into the city of Wall.

Within Wall
Penny currently resides with Doug Ramsey in his shop.
