## Bio *(from the Top Wing Annual 2020)*

Penny the penguin is an *underwater expert* who impresses everyone with her brain power and her super-fast belly slides. She may be the smallest cadet, but she has no trouble keeping up and often arrives just in time to *save the day*.

She loves *'flying' underwater*, building up her collection of fish photos and cooling off after a good day of training in a bath full of ice cubes.

## Appearance

Penny is a young, midnight-blue-feathered Macaroni penguin with a small tuft on top of her head, followed by three yellow string-feathers with pink tips on the sides which are kept in pigtails by magenta hair ties. Almost her entire face, down to her neck and stomach, are colored in a shade of bright white, and she also possesses small thin dark-colored eyebrows, warm-brown eyes, short eyelashes and a yellow-orange beak. She is the shortest out of the cadets.

In Season 1 and in the first half of Season 2, Penny's original attire consists of a sleeveless, maroon and magenta-pink striped sun dress with a star on the bottom, a magenta-pink watch on her left flipper, and magenta pink slip-on shoes with white shoelaces and maroon-pink soles and toes.

Her Level 1 uniform consists of a pink and white helmet with darker pink accents, a microphone attached to it, and yellow features placed on the top which somewhat resembles her string-feathers. She wears a pink button-up shirt with the back of the long sleeves colored in a darker shade, followed by a silver pin adorning the right side of her shirt. She also wore white pants with thin pink stripes on the sides, a black belt with a gray buckle around her waist, and pink cowboy-like boots with both darker-colored soles and brighter-colored toes. Her watch is strapped in its usual place.

In the second half of Season 2, Penny changes to a pink headband around her head with a brighter-colored, four-petaled flower decorating the left side. She wears a set of dark pink overalls with a lighter-colored pocket on the front, small yellow buttons holding the straps, and yellow bottom cuffs. Her overalls are worn over her light pink shirt with yellow trimming on each of the short sleeves. Her shoes are similar to the ones from her previous attire, only this pair is colored in a lighter shade of pink. Her watch is now strapped on her right flipper, just like the other cadets.

Her Level 2 uniform is somewhat more detailed than her previous uniform; she wears a helmet similar to the previous helmet, only it is colored in a brighter shade of pink with black accents. She now sports a detailed white jumpsuit with short yellow sleeves, black and yellow details and a pink upper section, with her badge printed on the right side and a small metallic, pink and silver pin with darker pink details adorning the left side. She wears a dark gray belt with a shimmering-silver design on it, and her boots have a similar design to the previous pair, only both the soles and toes are colored in a brighter shade. Her watch is strapped in its usual place.

## Personality

Penny loves to swim, eat krill and chill out. She also likes to take pictures, as seen in Top Wing Dream Team, Penny Rescues the Aqua Wing and Penny's Jungle Adventure. She is a playful penguin, but usually doesn't fool around when training or doing missions. She is quite observant and curious which results in her realising things sooner than the others. However, this can also cause her to be distracted from something she was originally doing. She tends to see the positive side of things and isn't easily intimidated by people or scary situations. Plus, she enjoys taking on challenges even when others find it difficult. While Penny is sweet and friendly, she is also shown to have a bit of sass especially towards people who cause trouble for her. She doesn't like being woken up too early, as she was frustrated at Rod in Rod Cockadoodle Didn't for waking the cadets up too early on accident. However, she didn't stay mad at him for long, as she forgave him later in the episode. She can hold a bit of silliness, as she sang when she accepted his apology later the same episode.
