Pennywhistle/History

== ==
From DreamWorks Website: A favored character among cast and crew, Pennywhistle, voiced by brilliant comedienne Yi, would actually not have a place in a traditional orchestra. "Our composer, Teddy Shapiro, was struggling with the fact that Penny’s not a woodwind," says director Walt Dohrn. "We had this backstory about how she’s a wayward traveler who wandered into Symphonyville, and they adopted her. We wanted a level of authenticity, so we had to craft a history for Penny. You don’t find that out, but we were prepared!"https://www.dreamworks.com/trolls/explore/pennywhistle
In a cut scene animatic, it was shown that Pennywhistle was meant to be a border guard who was supposed to keep an eye out for danger to the Classical Troll Tribe. In the animatic, she took a quick break for lunch, a moment that Barb and her Rock Trolls seized and approached to ram through the road barrier.
In the supporting digital art book, it was mentioned that they had trouble convincing composer Theodore Shapiro that she belonged there, as she wasn't a traditional woodwind. Her backstory is that she's a wayward traveler who wandered into Symphonyville and was adopted by the Classical Trolls.https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ELElq2

=== Trolls World Tour ===
Pennywhistle is first seen being played by one of the Classical Trolls. She's left behind after Queen Barb destroys Symphonyville and kidnaps all of the Classical Trolls. She explains what happened to Queen Poppy, Branch and Biggie when they arrive. Although Poppy asks her to come with them when they left, she wants to rebuild Symphonyville all by herself, despite still feeling lonely and saddened by the abduction of the Classical Trolls.
She's lastly seen during Just Sing being played again, and in the ending credits being hypnotized by Chaz's music.
