Penelope (Hamtarou)

Penelope, also known as Chibimaru-chan, is one of the main characters from the Hamtarou series.
== Charactah Account ==
Penelope is an adorable white and brown baby hamster. She is like a little sister to Pashmina. She always wears a yellow blanket over her head.
Being innocent and naive, due to her age, Penelope gets into trouble more often than most of the other Ham-Hams. Unlike the other Ham-Hams, and perhaps because of her young age, Penelope can't say anything more than 'Ookwee!' or 'Ookyoo!'.

== Trivia ==
* The English dub changed "Ookyoo" into to "Ookwee" in later episodes, as the former could sound like a certain expletive phrase starting with the letter F. The first time she says "ookwee" is in The Precious Letter!, and Hamtarou even acknowledges it. Pashmina actually says early in the episode that she was "looking forward to showing off [her] new word". The official Hamtarou website was also changed Penelope's word to the new one the day the episode was released.
* Penelope may know more words than just "ookyoo" and "ookwee", "ookwaa". In a few English episodes, she says "badda-badda" and "ticky-ticky" as she runs or walks, though this may have been an error on the dubber's part. She is also known to use Ham-Chat words in the games.
* In Tottoko Hamutaro: Hamuchanzu de Gozaimachu! Vol.1, Penelope is the younger sister of Bijou. As aforementioned, it is stated that Penelope is Pashmina's sister in later media.
* In the Tottoko Hamutaro Anime Dechu, Penelope is named "Chibimaru-kun" instead of "-chan". The term "kun" generally refers to boys, which may indicate (though does not outright confirm) that Penelope was originally intended to be male. However, "kun" can be used to refer to toddlers, regardless of gender.
* In various pieces of merch, Penelope is seen with a nose on her yellow blanket. This is omitted from the anime and is seldom seen elsewhere (outside of early artwork).
