Penny is a student at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, and is in the same grade as the [[player character]]. She has a shy personality, and is often absent from class. She always has her fluffy {{p|Eevee}} backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the {{wp|Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Tyme]].

She always has her fluffy {{p|Eevee}} backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the {{wp|Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Tyme]].
Penny is first seen in [[Mesagoza]], where the player witnesses her being harassed by {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs. The player then defeated the Grunts. Afterwards, for each squad boss except for the last one defeated, Penny appears as Cassiopeia's supply unit rep and talks to the player, giving them [[TM Material]]s, and being licked by {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} every time after the first.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
===★ Starfall Street ★===
Her secret identity is '''[[Cassiopeia]]''', the "big boss" of Team Star; none of the other members of Team Star know of her true identity because she never left her room during her time with them. She witnesses the player defeat two {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs who, ironically, were harassing her to join Team Star, and comes up with the idea of Operation Starfall. Afraid that her fellow bosses will be expelled from the academy because of their involvement in the team but unable to forcibly disband the group herself, she recruits the player into Operation Starfall to make them stand down. After each squad boss except for the last one is defeated, Penny appears as "Cassiopeia's supply unit rep" and talks to the player, giving them [[TM Materials]], and being licked by [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]]{{sup/9|V}} every time after the first.
Penny first witnesses the player defeat two {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs who were harassing her to join Team Star. During Operation Starfall, Penny appears as a part of the supply unit to reward the player with various [[TM Material]]s after they defeat a Team Star base.


After the player has defeated all five squad bosses, Cassiopeia reveals that she was Team Star's "big boss" and invites the player to meet at the academy's schoolyard after dark, where she reveals her identity as Penny. Penny challenges the player to a battle and asks [[Clavell|Clive]] to record the battle with his [[Rotom Phone]] for the squad bosses to view the outcome. After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.

After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.


A flashback after her defeat shows her last conversation (a year and a half prior) with the squad bosses, via a Rotom Phone call. The squad bosses were worried about Penny's well-being and her sudden desire to disband Team Star and take sole responsibility for her actions. She thanked the squad bosses for their kindness and company. Penny was then revealed to be outside the room the squad bosses were in during their conversation, and she bid them farewell and temporarily left for Galar, her original home region.

Line 56: Line 67:
Penny calls the player via Rotom Phone the next time they exit the academy building and tells them to meet her in front of the school stairs, where she was first encountered. She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that instead of her actual name.

She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that instead of her actual name.


When the player finds Penny in front of the school stairs, she explains how the squad bosses and her came up with the ''hasta la vistar'' ★ catchphrase. She also explains that she won't be badly punished for hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system if she does some volunteer engineering for them, which she agreed to do. Finally, she thanks the player for helping her save Team Star from being wrongfully expelled from the academy and gives them {{TM|169|Draco Meteor}} as a reward. She explains that she wants to repay the player and would be willing to help with any requests they may have. She bids the player farewell with a ''hasta la vistar'' ★ and runs up the stairs, concluding the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline.

===The Way Home===
After all three main stories of the game have been completed, Penny goes to the [[Zero Gate]] with the player, [[Arven]], and [[Nemona]] to traverse [[Area Zero]] with them and help them reach the [[Zero Lab]] in The Way Home, the game's final story. She battles alongside the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner twice during this. After the door to the Zero Lab is opened, a group of [[Paradox Pokémon]] escape, which are chased down by Penny and Nemona. Later, Penny returns to the Zero Lab with Nemona and Arven and watches the player battle against and defeat [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} with their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}.

===Post-game===
===Post-game===
While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]], she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, this time using [[Pokémon Trainer]] as her Trainer class instead of {{tc|Team Star}}.
{{incomplete|section|needs bond interactions and when the first one unlocks}}
While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]], she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, this time using [[Pokémon Trainer]] as her Trainer class instead of {{tc|Team Star}}. Additionally, the player can develop a [[bond]] with Penny, which will trigger an event added with [[The Indigo Disk]] update where the player can tutor [[Mela]], [[Atticus]], and [[Ortega]].
 
===Mochi Mayhem===
Following the events of the [[Indigo Disk]], Penny accompanies the player, Arven and Nemona to a trip to the land of [[Kitakami]]. She ends up helping the player and their friends in dealing with {{p|Pecharunt}}’s curse. However, Pecharunt shoots [[Mochi#Toxic Mochi|Toxic Mochi]] into the mouths of Penny and Arven and they face the player and [[Kieran]] in a [[Multi Battle]]. After Pecharunt is defeated by the player, she returns to normal and stays in Kitakami for a day or two before returning to Paldea.

Penny debuted in [[PASV02]]. She was first seen in the [[Uva Academy]] library, watching [[Nemona]]'s attempt to challenge {{adv|Scarlet}} to a battle end in failure. Later, at [[West Province (Area One)]], a pair of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s attempted to recruit Penny into [[Team Star]]. Despite Penny's repeated refusals, the Grunts persisted, forcing {{adv|Violet}} to step in to Penny's defense. After the Grunts were defeated and drive off, Penny thanked Violet for helping her, only for him to react in confusion when she referred to him as "Prince" despite being a complete stranger.
: ''"You know, some of the rumors say Team Star wasn't always a bunch of delinquents. Most of them used to be victims of bullying, or they just found it hard to interact with people... But then these misfits and outsiders found each other and banded together to form Team Star. All they wanted to do was push back against the bullies they couldn't face alone... But, uh, that's just info I got by hacking other students' social media accounts. I also found talk about some secret mastermind behind the five bosses—someone who recruited them to the team in the first place... Hm. I don't normally talk this much. Now my throat kinda hurts...

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.

Reason: Include information on their role in their Bond story as of the Ver. 3.0.0 update.

Penny is a student at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV, and is in the same grade as the player character. She has a shy personality, and is often absent from class. She always has her fluffy Eevee backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the STEM track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being Tyme.

Penny is first seen in Mesagoza, where the player witnesses her being harassed by Team Star Grunts in front of the school stairs. The player then defeated the Grunts. Afterwards, for each squad boss except for the last one defeated, Penny appears as Cassiopeia's supply unit rep and talks to the player, giving them TM Materials, and being licked by KoraidonS/MiraidonV every time after the first.

★ Starfall Street ★

Penny first witnesses the player defeat two Team Star Grunts in front of the school stairs who were harassing her to join Team Star. During Operation Starfall, Penny appears as a part of the supply unit to reward the player with various TM Materials after they defeat a Team Star base.

After the player has defeated all five Team Star bosses, Cassiopeia reveals that she was Team Star's "big boss" and invites the player to meet at the academy's schoolyard after dark, where she reveals her identity as Penny. None of the other members of Team Star knew of her true identity because she never left her room during her time with them. She came up with the idea of Operation Starfall and recruited the player to make the Team Star Bosses stand down as she is afraid that her fellow bosses will be expelled from the academy because of their involvement in the team but is unable to forcibly disband the group herself. Penny challenges the player to a battle and asks Clive to record the battle with his Rotom Phone for the squad bosses to view the outcome. After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.

A flashback after her defeat shows her last conversation (a year and a half prior) with the squad bosses, via a Rotom Phone call. The squad bosses were worried about Penny's well-being and her sudden desire to disband Team Star and take sole responsibility for her actions. She thanked the squad bosses for their kindness and company. Penny was then revealed to be outside the room the squad bosses were in during their conversation, and she bid them farewell and temporarily left for Galar, her original home region.

After the flashback, Penny thanks the player and Clive for successfully helping her during Operation Starfall. When asked by Clive why she couldn’t forcibly disband Team Star on her own, Penny explains that the strict code she and the squad bosses created stated that no member of Team Star had the right to order anyone around and that the squad bosses had to accept challenges and give away their Star Badges when defeated, hence forcing them to step down as squad bosses. When asked by Clive what the squad bosses mean to her, Penny wholeheartedly replies that they are her "greatest treasure".

Seemingly touched by Penny's story, Clive thanks her for her appraisal of the situation with Team Star. Clive proceeds to reveal that he, too, was under a false persona, and is actually the Academy's director, Clavell, much to Penny's shock. Clavell explains that he disguised as Clive in order to talk to the Team Star members on equal terms, without them feeling the pressure of speaking to a faculty member such as the academy's director.

Clavell proceeds to call all the squad bosses (Giacomo, Mela, Atticus, Ortega, and Eri) out onto the schoolyard, much to Penny's surprise, and she emotionally recalls their names as they greet her with equal emotion. The squad bosses perform Team Star's signature hasta la vistar ★ pose and happily exclaim in unison: "Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! ★ And hello, Penny!"

Clavell apologises to Team Star for his unawareness of the bullying they suffered from, since he joined the academy as its director without witnessing any incidents of bullying. He declares that Team Star may continue to exist should its bosses want it to, but that they should be punished for breaking multiple school rules during their period of truancy. As punishment, Clavell assigns Penny and the squad bosses to manage the newly founded Star Training Centers (STCs) as staff members. Upon hearing this, the squad bosses marvel over Team Star not disbanding and being able to spend time with their "big boss" and close friend at the Academy and STCs.

Clavell dismisses Team Star's bosses and calls the player to his office to thank them for allowing him to help resolve Team Star's situation. Penny arrives shortly thereafter to apologise for illegally hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system to reward the player and Clavell for helping her during Operation Starfall, and feels that she should be punished more heavily than the others. Clavell decides that he should consult Geeta, the Paldea Pokémon League's chairwoman, on the matter, and dismisses the player from his office.

Penny calls the player via Rotom Phone the next time they exit the academy building and tells them to meet her in front of the school stairs, where she was first encountered. She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that instead of her actual name.

When the player finds Penny in front of the school stairs, she explains how the squad bosses and she came up with the hasta la vistar ★ catchphrase. She also explains that she won't be badly punished for hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system if she does some volunteer engineering for them, which she agreed to do. Finally, she thanks the player for helping her save Team Star from being wrongfully expelled from the academy and gives them TM169 (Draco Meteor) as a reward. She explains that she wants to repay the player and would be willing to help with any requests they may have. She bids the player farewell with a hasta la vistar ★ and runs up the stairs, concluding the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline.

The Way Home

After all three main stories of the game have been completed, Penny goes to the Zero Gate with the player, Arven, and Nemona to traverse Area Zero with them and help them reach the Zero Lab in The Way Home, the game's final story. She battles alongside the player as a Multi Battle partner twice during this. After the door to the Zero Lab is opened, a group of Paradox Pokémon escape, which are chased down by Penny and Nemona. Later, Penny returns to the Zero Lab with Nemona and Arven and watches the player battle against and defeat AI SadaS/AI TuroV with their KoraidonS/MiraidonV.

Reason: needs bond interactions and when the first one unlocks

While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first Academy Ace Tournament, she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, this time using Pokémon Trainer as her Trainer class instead of Team Star. Additionally, the player can develop a bond with Penny, which will trigger an event added with The Indigo Disk update where the player can tutor Mela, Atticus, and Ortega.

Mochi Mayhem

Following the events of the Indigo Disk, Penny accompanies the player, Arven and Nemona to a trip to the land of Kitakami. She ends up helping the player and their friends in dealing with Pecharunt’s curse. However, Pecharunt shoots Toxic Mochi into the mouths of Penny and Arven and they face the player and Kieran in a Multi Battle. After Pecharunt is defeated by the player, she returns to normal and stays in Kitakami for a day or two before returning to Paldea.

Penny debuted in PASV02. She was first seen in the Uva Academy library, watching Nemona's attempt to challenge Scarlet to a battle end in failure. Later, at West Province (Area One), a pair of Team Star Grunts attempted to recruit Penny into Team Star. Despite Penny's repeated refusals, the Grunts persisted, forcing Violet to step in to Penny's defense. After the Grunts were defeated and drive off, Penny thanked Violet for helping her, only for him to react in confusion when she referred to him as "Prince" despite being a complete stranger.
