Who is Penny in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? Answered

gamepur.com:

As with any Pokemon game, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have a host of eccentric characters for you to meet on your journey. From helpful teachers to shy classmates and powerful gym leaders, there’s a colorful cast for you to get to know on your travels across Paldea. One such character is the adorably shy Penny — here’s everything you need to know about her.

Penny’s main distinction at present seems to be that she has a very shy personality. Although she’s in the same grade as your character at the academy, she doesn’t seem to come in to class very often. Whether this is due to her aforementioned shyness or some other mysterious reason that will be uncovered as you progress through the game is, for now, unclear. What is clear, though, is her affinity for her fluffy Eevee backpack. Penny is always seen wearing it, and it’s hard to blame her. It’s not known yet whether her affection for Eevee extends to her choice of Pokemon or if it’s a purely aesthetic decision.

Penny isn’t alone in the new roster of characters coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The Pokemon Professors Sada and Turo were among the first to be revealed, much to the delight of the fan-art community. There’s also Mr Clavell, the director of the academy, your other student friends like Arven and Nemona, and gym leaders like the icy Grusha, to say nothing of the new Pokemon and even new variations of old favorites like the Paldean Wooper.
