===The Main Character (Game & Wario)===
When the game starts, she will stay inside of the Scientific Research Facility for a random amount of time before her computer seemingly brings out an error. As she tries to solve the problem, her computer will experience a system failure, causing her to leave the research facility, and begin wandering around the school for a few minutes searching for a new hardware piece.
If the player touches her while she is wandering and their inventory contains space, she will give the player a random and useful potion. However, if the player is holding the Folder of Science Contracts, she will instead replace all of the empty slots in the player's inventory with random potions. After she gives the player at least 1 potion, she will be on a cooldown for 30 seconds. If she is affected by Ann however, she will instead be on a cooldown for 5 seconds.
Penny can also get scared and run away if she is near Stardark. If she is next to Stardark, she will make a short shrieking noise and sprint far away from them for a while before wandering normally again. This can be a disadvantage to the player since it will prevent them from interacting with her.
After she wanders 8 times, she will point her finger up in the air like the Principal of the Thing and will say "Cakewalk!", signifying that she's very close to finding the missing piece. Once she has completed her last 2 wanders, she will say "I've got it!" signifying that she found the missing piece and return back to her facility. Once she has returned to her property, she will fix and turn on the computer and continue her work only for the whole process to repeat itself.
If the player is brought to the game over screen in Endless Mode, and they have broken a record by achieving a new high score, she will congratulate the player for doing so while a fanfare plays in the background.
===31718 Alter Ego (Smooth Moves)===
If the player inputs the secret character code into the YCTP, she will summon in the schoolhouse. She will wander at a normal pace, and if the player collides with her while she is not on a cooldown, she will give them an invisibility potion. After that potion is given, she will go on a potion cooldown for 15 seconds. Originally, she was going to have idle music, which was going to be her Smooth Moves theme, but since there were more than enough characters in the game with their own music, the developer decided to not give her idle music. However, if the player accesses the Secret Gallery, they can hear her theme playing quietly in the background.
===Proto-Penny (Replaced Character)===
Proto-Penny is the only alter ego of Penny Crygor that is does not positively affect the player. She would stay in the same room the real Penny is in for 3 minutes, and after that passed, she would begin walking towards the player at a speed similar to their running speed. Unlike Baldi, she would always know where the player is. Once she had approached the player, she would begin to sing a bad song, luring Baldi to the player's destination. After she had sung, she would walk back to her spawning position, and would wait a few more minutes to repeat this process. She was eventually replaced by The "Eggcelent" Guy in The Unexpected School.
Originally, she was also going to lure all other characters to the player's destination, but due to previously difficult scripting, the mechanic went scrapped, thus she could only lure Baldi.
==Trivia==
*Penny's 31718 alter ego became the first character in the series to have blinking eyes.
*She is one of the only characters to have multiple alter egos, including a clone.
*In previous subgames of BB 1 1/2, when ProtoPenny approached the player, she was not able to attract any characters to her destination. This was because TOQ was too lazy to code the rest of her during development.
*ProtoPenny's office poster is the same thing as Penny's prototype office poster.
**The office poster was made in GIMP rather than Paint.NET because TheObliviousQuail did not really know about Paint.NET until after he created her poster. The same thing can be said for David, and The Old Man.
*As of the latest game, she is the most referenced and noticeable custom character in the series.
**In almost all of Popnoyster98's project pages on itch.io, at least one image of Penny can be seen in the screenshots section.
**Her name is directly mentioned in one of Baldi's searching voicelines, and one of Caiden's voicelines.
**One of the posters in the Schoolhouse of The Renewed School shows a picture of an AI-generated illusion diffusion image depicting Penny seen as a tinted silhouette in an underwater environment.
**When the player achieves a new high score in Endless Mode, she congratulates them for doing so.
**The Secret Gallery was added in The Renewed School V1.1 which contains 5 "delightful" images of Penny Crygor created by Gabbif6.
*The hardware piece that Game & Wario Penny searches for is not visible to the player. Because it is so small, only Penny can see it via her glasses.
*Penny's computer's error sound and startup sound are directly taken from Windows NT 5.0 and PlayStation 1 respectively.
