Salutations! Penny is a Pyrrhian android created by FourFlames. She is part of Forge's Wings of Remnant crossover (RWBY x WoF) and inspired by Penny Polendina from RWBY. 
As such, there may be spoilers ahead!
== Appearance ==
"Most are hatched, but I was made. I'm the world's first synthetic dragon capable of generating an Aura...I'm not real."
===Main Details===
*Her body is a (convincingly draconic) machine that is modeled subtly enough to be passably Pyrrhian but difficult to place which tribe. The dominant appearance is Rain/Sand/Sky
**RAIN: pale tea-green coloration and sage-green shoulder scales, curly ginger ruff around her face like locks of hair, semi-prehensile curl to her tail, small fangs, tented wings
**NIGHT: near-black belly, greyscale accents, snout "arc" scales
**SAND: tawny sail (fades to black and grey stripes near end), strong plated hindlegs, freckles
**SKY: physique and layout of guardscales; horns furl in a tight helical shape
**SEA: Glowing celadon spots with brass rims (located near the "thrusters" on her hindquarters) and corresponding stripes running down to her heels, modeled after bioluminescent spot; 
**ICE: canvas-white wings and underscales; wing-claws are serrated like her swords
**MUD: physical weight/strength
===Robotic Traits===
*Muted bluegreen eyes that glow from within
*The grey seam where her wing membrane meets her sides is a compartment containing folded components of Floating Array
*Bleeds a green coolant
=== Apparel ===
*Black bows worn on her ruff or neck, with the universal power symbol inscribed on a central brass button
== Personality ==
"Sen-sational! We can paint our claws, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!"
Penny frames her opinions, emotions, and observations in an uncomplicated manner. She doesn’t use sophisticated words when conveying herself, instead they’re simpler phrases containing “feel” and “think” and “want”, with logic that is generally easy to follow. 
Her words are chosen on comprehension and clarity, rather than the obsessive denotative accuracy one might expect from an android.
She has a way of demystifying topics she's expected to have nuanced opinions on, by allowing herself to react genuinely and extemporaneously. She is unashamed of having to ask questions about what is considered normal dragon behavior, and even less shame in sharing her opinions or emotions regarding those behaviors, as she believes personal feelings are relevant even if not acted on. While she enjoys her duty as a protector, she firmly believes she has a choice when her loyalty to a cause comes in conflict with her principles. She isn't content to follow directions that go against her core beliefs.
Penny can sometimes be an oblivious and predictable character, as while Penny has a dragon soul, she's also a robotic construct with some artificial programming. She's slow to realize when she's being tricked or stalled out since she holds dragons in rather binary terms of friend or enemy, will usually listen to reason, and is fairly curious. 
She isn't programmed to prioritize quantity when saving dragon lives-- she will simply save anyone identifiable, if she is capable of doing so-- and can't follow logic which contradicts her understanding of death as failure. As a result her moral code prevents her from killing other dragons. She is sensitive to death of all kinds-- even if the causes are natural, or it's someone she barely knows, as with the death of Fria. She seems to respect this universal pain associated with death to the point that she would spare even Xiphos in a combat situation, rather than pursuing her, despite their personal history.
She does not have dependency issues but seems to suffer from chronic loneliness; she is frequently othered for being a robot, or treated like she is something that can be controlled. Although she does not let it affect her spirits too much, it has overwhelmed her before.
== Abilities ==
"If you were only a machine, you never could've fought back for this long." --Nora, to Penny
==== Robotic Abilities ====
*Night and infrared vision; eyes glow like LEDs in the dark
*Can withstand a lot of physical force without taking damage-- Is extremely dense
**(likely because of this) she can create a ton of friction in her talons enabling her to pull heavy objects
*Her hind talons glow kelly-green during flight, leaving a fire-like trail
==== Weapon: Floating Array ====
Flying swords which are stored in a compartment under her wings. In her first incarnation they were attached to her by thin cables, but after an accident involving laceration, they were changed to be wireless.
She manipulates these blades through the air using her movements. The swords can be moved in broad sweeps (as an array), but she can also levitate each of them individually with precision. 
If she concentrates a group of swords into a ring, she can fire impressive blasts of green energy.
==== Maiden Powers ====
"Maidens" are animus-touched dragons with the ability to use a particular Magic, specific to one of the four seasons. They can bestow their seasonal power to a successor once they die. This results in the recipient being the new Maiden. This can only happen when the previous holder dies while thinking of the new dragon, and there are only four Maidens at a time.
Penny accepted the Winter Maiden powers to keep them from falling into Xiphos (the Autumn Maiden)'s claws. She has demonstrated that she can use the following Maiden abilities:
*breathing beams of ice
*summoning flying ice swords
*generating strong gales around herself
== History ==
"I'm as good as new! Better, even! And now I'm the official protector of the city!"
===Act 1===
Penny was a successful attempt to create artificial life that could possess Aura (a soul). The engineer tasked with building her-- Pietro Polendina-- gave her some of his own Aura to do this. He was also assisted by General Ironwood in her development, having received a grant for his research from the Atlas military. Together they believed the Penny project could be the future of security robots, replacing the rudimentary Atlesian Knight models.
Pietro and Ironwood kept her under wraps, planning to debut her at the Vytal Festival between all four kingdoms. Both were reluctant to allow her too many privileges like interaction, fearing what the dragons of Pyrrhia might do if they discovered a military-grade robot living among them. However, Pietro-- who wanted Penny to be happy-- was able to negotiate for some freedom, to satisfy her curiosity. Within months of the Vytal tournament, Penny was allowed to travel to the Kingdom of Vale, where she accidentally collided with Team RWBY. After being referred to as a friend by its leader, she began following the team around, and would often appear unexpectedly to talk to Ruby.
After Ruby, Blake, and Sun were attacked during a stakeout for an SDC cargo raid, Penny suddenly appeared to retaliate against the perpetrators. Despite Ruby's insistence to get to safety, she unveiled Floating Array and sliced the criminals' aircrafts in half with a massive beam fired from her swords, then vanished as quickly as she'd appeared. 
When they later met in passing, Ruby was concerned why Penny had suddenly vanished from the fight, and Penny was very avoidant of the issue, trying to change the subject before bolting away. Ruby chased after her for answers, but ended up in the direct path of a moving vehicle, which Penny shoved her out of the way to stop in an incredible feat of strength. Realizing that she had attracted too much attention and the soldiers would be coming to get her soon, she fled the scene again. Though this time, after finding a safe spot to hide, she admitted to Ruby that she was actually a robot, and showed her that the impact had scraped the paint from her talons, revealing metal underneath. Ruby accepted her as a real dragon, assuring Penny that she had a soul, and was still a friend.
Seeing the Atlesian soldiers coming to escort her away, Penny then tossed Ruby into a hiding spot so she wouldn't get in trouble, and pretended that she had been alone the whole time. 
===Act 2===
Penny fought in the Vytal Tournament on behalf of Atlas Academy, besting a team from Vale in the doubles round. After the fight, she sought out Ruby, enthusiastically telling her she wanted to transfer to Beacon Academy (Vale), and had a plan to convince Ironwood to let her. However, at the arrival of her punctilious teammate, Ciel-- who was oblivious to Penny's identity as a robot, and overbearing-- this reunion was cut short. Penny promised to see Ruby later.
Eventually she was pitted against Nikos, a student from Beacon, in the singles round. Unbeknownst to the public, however, a dragon with an illusion Semblance was hiding in the crowd, working for Salem and Xiphos. She used this power to alter Nikos' vision.
Thinking that Penny had summoned a swarm of swords all around her, Nikos overestimated her Polarity semblance to reverse Floating Array's trajectory. This caused the cables to wrap around Penny's limbs and cinch tight, effectively lacerating her on the arena floor. Xiphos was able to generate enough panic from this televised dismemberment to unleash an army of Grimm on the school, setting the stage for the Fall of Beacon.
===Act 3===
Penny's core was recovered from the attack and her Aura fitted to a new body, this time with wireless use of her weapons. For several months she served as the military proxy for Mantle (the undercity of Atlas), under the more heroic title "Protector of Mantle". 
She and the Atlas military, headed by Ironwood, worked with Team RWBY on re-establishing global communication after it was damaged. They believed it was more important than ever to connect Pyrrhia, what with the threat of Salem looming on the horizon. However, mistrust was on the rise due to this sudden military activity around the time of Atlas' council elections. During a rally for Mantle's elections candidate, Salem's pawns carried out a terrorist attack; first they subtly manipulated the polls, then threw the lights, killing innocents and doctoring footage to paint "Ironwood's puppet" as silencing Mantle's representation. Penny was overcome with shame that she had failed the dragons she'd sworn to protect, and went into hiding.
Eventually, the same minions of Salem shut off the city's power grid, enabling a massive invasion of Grimm monsters. During this siege on Atlas, Penny and Winter protected Atlas' current Winter Maiden from Xiphos, who had broken away from the rest of Salem's team in pursuit of the maiden's powers; Winter kept the enemy occupied, while Penny stayed to comfort the Maiden, who passed during the stress of the fight and transferred her powers to Penny. Penny then used these powers to save Winter's life and defeat Xiphos in combat, who made a furious retreat.
These Winter Maiden powers became a terrible burden for Penny. It became General Ironwood's priority to protect upper Atlas using the Relic of Creation that was stored in the Winter Maiden vault. If he removed it, the floating half of the city could fly to safety, but the undercity of Mantle would be jettisoned and left to the Grimm. When his plan betrayed Mantle and sought to do what was best for only part of Atlas, Penny joined her friends in standing against him. Ironwood and RWBY's alliance were both working to stop Salem, but were now divided against one another.
===Act 4===
Despite Penny breaking away from Ironwood's control, the general's task force (ACEOPS) managed to sever one of Penny's swords and relay its information to Watts, an infamous hacker, who infected her with a virus that would force her to open the Vault for Ironwood and self-destruct. With these internal malfunctions, Penny knew she didn't have long. 
While being given sanctuary in the Schnee Manor, the virus became too much for Penny, who was bleeding green coolant. Penny attempted to leave and was chained down with the collective efforts of Team RWBY. She begged Ruby to off her so that the Atlas vault would not fall to Ironwood and the maiden powers would transfer to someone else. However, Ruby devised a long and roundabout plan to ensure that Penny would live and that the citizens of Mantle and Atlas could evacuate the kingdom. (After all, it was inevitably still going to fall due to Salem's invasion.) This plan, which relied on the creation spirit living within the Relic, also turned Penny herself into a real organic dragon by isolating the virus in a perfect copy of Penny's mechanical body. Free of Ironwood's control, she then used her maiden powers to help transport the citizens, but this escape plan was quickly under attack by Salem's minions, creating mass panic and knocking a few people into the void below. Unfortunately, Penny was stabbed in the evacuation and mercy killed by Jaune, thereafter transferring the maiden powers to Winter Schnee. Because she was no longer a synthetic dragon, this was a permanent death.
== Relationships ==
"You called me friend! Am I really your friend?"
===Positive===
*RUBY- Ruby is Penny's first and entirely accidental friend, and the two of them are great emotional supports for one another whenever they interact, sharing their feelings and exchanging warmth. Ruby was shaken with each of Penny's deaths and it is one of many factors which pushes Ruby to a breaking point when she falls in the Ever After.
*WEISS - Weiss first bumped into Penny while chasing a stowaway. Penny ended up knocked on the ground and was content to lie there. Weiss was also reluctant for Ruby to fraternize with her due to this weird behavior. Weiss does warm up to the eccentric android, and the two of them bond closer in Atlas.
*BLAKE - Blake and Penny have a positive relationship. Blake is warm to Penny and quick to accept her hugs. Penny is also quite astute and deduced that Blake was a Pantalan dragon before anyone on her team was aware.
*YANG - Yang and Penny have interacted the least, but they both cared a great deal about Ruby and had robotic parts.
*NORA - Nora reminds Penny that her empathy and soul are stronger than her programming, even when viruses force her to do things that she would never of her own volition consider
*PYRRHA - Traumatically cuts her to pieces, and is no longer alive to see Penny rebuilt. Penny knows it was an accident and forgives her. She was initially very excited to meet her, and as with most dragons, was looking forward to taking her in friendly combat.
*PIETRO
*WINTER SCHNEE Winter does not think she is worthy of Penny's friendship, but the android unconditionally cares about her and gives her the affirmation of being her friend.
===Neutral===
*CIEL was Penny's assigned teammate at Atlas Academy,
===Negative===
*ACE OPS
*IRONWOOD
== Trivia ==
"Do hugs always feel this warm inside?"
*She is based on Penny Polendina from RWBY, who herself is based on Pinocchio
*She hiccups when she's lying!
*After being transferred into a real dragon by Ambrosius, she would technically be an AllWing
