## History

Penny is an android created by her father, Pietro Polendina, with the aid of the Atlesian Military and General Ironwood. Designed to be the first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura. Her abilities were to be presented on an international stage at the 40th Vytal Festival in Vale.

She was found lying on the ground after Weiss Schnee crashed into her, whilst chasing after Sun Wukong. Upon confiding in Ruby that she was a synthetic being, Penny was worried about how she would take the news. However, after seeing how Ruby took it rather well, she was glad that Ruby didn't care if she was a machine, for what mattered was her heart and soul.

In "PvP", Penny is destroyed by her own weapons during her fight with Pyrrha Nikos.

She returns in "The Greatest Kingdom" with a new look made by her father, Pietro Polendina, who rebuilt her after the Fall of Beacon. Penny became the official protector of Mantle and eliminates Grimm that invade the city. As of "The Enemy of Trust", she is the current Winter Maiden. Penny joined Ruby's group in launching Amity, but was conflicted about going against Ironwood and her role as the new Winter Maiden. While in Amity, Penny defeated Cinder and went against her father's command to push Amity high enough to broadcast Ruby's message to Remnant, but was later hacked by Watts through her sword stolen by the Ace-Ops. After crashing in front of the Schnee manor, Penny started to succumb to Watt's hacking but was knocked out by the Hound. As she reawakened, Penny began to fly to the vault due to the virus but was stopped by Ruby's group and Emerald. She was then able to hold off the virus thanks to Jaune giving his Aura, but only temporarily.

Arriving at the vault, Penny opened it for Team RWBY and succumbed to the virus. But her soul is separated from her robot body by Ambrosius, and she was given a human body as her old one was terminated. In the passageways to Vacuo, Penny was mortally wounded by Cinder. She let Jaune kill her so that she could pass the Maiden's power to Winter Schnee.
