Penny Lovelace

"You two idiots have got yourself in a lot of trouble. You've only been here for a few days, and already you've got targets on your heads. I mean, you're lucky I got your signal back at the airport, otherwise you'd both be dead. So, do I get a 'thank you' for saving your lives or..." -Penny addressing Cokity and Wilhelm at her apartment in Midtown.
Penny Lovelace is one of the main playable characters in Cokity & Wilhelm Rewrite the United States Constitution. She is initially cold towards the two boys, but finds camaraderie in them as they further investigate into the three Big Bosses of New York City.
Penny initially appears after the boys confront Tony Korazzo, unexpectedly hacking into the hideout's security systems to allow them to escape. After meeting with the two discreetly at Midtown, she forms a temporary partnership with them in order to investigate the activities of the Korazzo Family, the Jiu-En Triad, the Church of the High Order of Munnancho, and the New World Order.
== Personality ==
Penny initially comes off as very as a very blunt, snarky individual, who will openly mock others for their relative foolishness. However, under her hard exterior, Penny is a far more casual, jokey, and geeky individual. She has a deep passion for computers and electronics, and uses this knowledge for what she believes to be just. She believes that the general public have become complacent with the monotony of life and manipulation by their 'capitalist overlords', which is why she began the Inside NY whistleblower site. Due to this, she is also revealed to be friends with Baofu and Ciel.
== Background ==
Penny was born on the 3rd of July, 2005, to her father Professor William Lovelace and her mother Cindy Steele. Her mother was a mechanic, her father was a successful biologist and chemist. Known originally as Pierre, Penny gained a love for computers at an early age, particularly through the Nintendo Gamecube and RPG maker. From this, Penny quickly decided she would become a video game programmer. Initially there were few avenues by which to pursue this, but with hard work and dedication she landed herself at Columbia University, getting a degree in Computer Science. She managed to gain a job at the indie game company Warpstar Studios along with this. 
However, growing ever more jaded by the world around her, Penny grew to dislike the city she called home, feeling that people there were too willing to simply live a mundane and uninteresting life, letting themselves be easily manipulated by blatant advertisements and marketing. Her father echoed the sentiment, beginning a secret project which he believed would solve the issue. Penny, however, took a different approach. Inspired by a similar website in the UK, she began Inside NY, which aimed to expose secrets about the city's shady underbelly. This involved investigation into criminal activity, observing suspicious people and gaining information. On one of these, Penny discovered the existence of the New World Order, and the writings of Masato Kutsuki. She published her findings on the website, though reception was that she was a 'conspiracy theorist quack'. Thus, the site lost most attention.
When Cokity and Wilhelm first arrived in New York City in 2030, Penny happened to observe the two of them. Having ascertained that they somehow managed to sneak dangerous weaponary (the HF-Blade Milfchete and Laser gun Vaquero) Penny hacked into their phones, deciding to monitor them in case they were somehow connected to the NWO.
