“	“Penny lives with her mom, Pam, in a little trailer by the river. While Pam is out carousing at the saloon, Penny quietly tends to her chores in the dim, stuffy room she is forced to call home. She is shy and modest, without any grand ambitions for life other than settling in and starting a family. She likes to cook (although her skills are questionable) and read books from the local library.”
	— Dev Update #12

Penny is a villager who lives in Pelican Town. She's one of the twelve characters available to marry. Her trailer is just east of the center of town, west of the river.

Schedule

Penny can usually be found in town reading or cleaning up at the trailer she shares with Pam. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday she tutors Jas and Vincent at the museum, walking them both home afterwards. She doesn't tutor in the Summer season. Many Saturdays in Spring and Fall she'll take them to the town playground.

On the 4th of Winter, she has an appointment at the clinic.

When it's raining Penny can either be found inside her trailer or visiting the museum looking at the selection of books.

Deviations

Her schedule can deviate if there are specific conditions like season, weather, or certain days of the week. Below are her schedule deviations prioritized highest to lowest (for example when it rains that schedule will override all others below it) Raining on Day 23 Time Location 8:00 AM Wakes up and leaves trailer. 8:50 AM Sits under tree in town, west of the graveyard. 12:30 PM Returns from town to the trailer and does some dishes. 4:00 PM Leaves trailer for town again. 4:30 PM Sits on bench south of the Saloon. 6:40 PM Returns to the trailer to go to bed in her room for the evening. Day 9 & Day 23 (With less than 6 hearts with Sam) Time Location 9:00 AM Wakes up and walks around her trailer. 11:00 AM Walks from the trailer out to town and sits. 4:00 PM Returns from town to the trailer and does some dishes. 6:30 PM Goes to bed in her room in the trailer for the evening. Raining (Alternative A) Time Location 9:00 AM Trailer is unlocked. Penny is in her bedroom. 11:00 AM Moves to the kitchen. 1:00 PM Does some dishes. 3:00 PM Sits on the couch, probably watching TV. 6:00 PM Returns to her bedroom, reading by the bookshelf. 9:00 PM Goes to bed for the evening. Raining (Alternative B) Time Location 8:20 AM Leaves the trailer and walks to the Museum to sit outside. "I'm going to go inside, I just wanted a quiet moment." 12:00 PM Goes inside the Museum to look at the bookshelves. 4:00 PM Leaves the Museum and returns to the trailer to watch some television. 7:00 PM Moves over to the sink in the trailer to do some dishes. 9:00 PM Goes to bed for the evening.

Relationships

Penny lives with her mother Pam. She's friends with Maru and Sam.

She also teaches the local children, Jas and Vincent, at the museum a few days a week and accompanies them to the playground sometimes.

During the eight-heart cutscene, Vincent remarks that he once saw Sam and Penny climbing trees, at which Penny becomes visibly startled and scolds Vincent for gossiping. ConcernedApe has explained that he "wasn't trying to imply anything serious" with the scene regarding a continuation of Penny's interest in Sam. "[At 8 hearts,] she's not actually interested in Sam any more."

Heart Events

Two Hearts

Enter Pelican Town on a sunny day between 9am and 2pm.

Details

George looks into his mailbox and wonders how he'll reach a letter in the back. Penny notices and gets the letter out for him. George is upset at being seen helpless and scolds her. Penny sees you and asks if you were watching them. "I was. You did a kind thing there, Penny." (+50 friendship.) Penny thanks you, but is unhappy that George was upset. "You should've left him alone. Now he's grumpy." (-50 friendship.) Penny apologises to George. "I'm just taking a walk, minding my own business." (No effect on friendship.) Penny responds "I see". Regardless of your choice, George sighs and apologises to Penny for getting angry. He says it was very kind of her to help. Penny says she understands. After George leaves, Penny says it must be difficult growing old. "I'd rather not think about it." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "I guess you're right... why stress out about something you can't change?" "It's just a different part of life." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "You're right, we shouldn't ignore the reality of aging. I guess the sooner we come to terms with our mortality, the more time we can spend really living in the here-and-now." "That's why we should respect our elders." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "That's nice of you to say... I totally agree with you. We should treat our elders with the same respect we hope to receive ourselves some day." "I'd rather die young..." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "That's a horrible thing to say. Life is a precious thing to waste like that!" Penny bids you farewell and leaves.

Four Hearts

Enter the trailer when she's home.

Details

Penny complains about how messy the place is, and asks if you could help her clean up. As you do so, Pam returns home and yells at Penny for letting someone else clean her home. Pam eventually asks you to leave, and they continue their discussion privately. Pam admits that she's embarrassed to have strangers clean up the house. The next day, you get a letter of apology from Penny. Note that this event will not trigger if the player has purchased the Community Upgrade.

Six Hearts

Enter the trailer when she's home.

Details

Penny asks you to try a recipe she invented. "(Lie) Mmm! That was delicious!" (+50 friendship.) She responds: "You really mean it? Thank you! ... it's such a relief to hear that. I've been working so hard on this recipe, and I'm really proud of it. Hey, since you're the first person to try it, I'm going to name this one 'Chili de <your name>'." "Uh... can I get the rest to go?" (-50 friendship.) Penny is crestfallen and says her recipe was a failure. "Well it's definitely unique... how did you get it so rubbery?" (No effect on friendship.) Penny is crestfallen and says her recipe was a failure. Regardless of your choice, she invites you to watch a movie together and your energy is increased by 165. Note that this event will not trigger if the player has purchased the Community Upgrade.

Eight Hearts

Enter Cindersap Forest between 9am and 4pm.

Details

Penny is on a field trip with Jas and Vincent. Penny asks you if you'd like to be a guest speaker and share your experience about the countryside with the children. "I'd love to!" (+10 friendship.) She responds, "Great! Let me just call the children over." "Sure." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "Great! Let me just call the children over." "No... I can't stand kids." (-1500 friendship.) She responds, "Really?... Uh... Well, alright. I guess I'll see you later then." The scene ends. If you agree to speak to the kids, you're prompted for a number of dialogue options (which have no effect on friendship). Afterwards Penny tells the children to run along and asks you if you'd like to be a parent. "I haven't really thought about it." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "Oh no? Well, I guess that makes sense... you're busy with other things right now." "Absolutely. I want a big family." (+20 friendship.) She responds, "... Me too. I'm glad you feel that way." "I guess so. It's a natural urge." (+20 friendship.) She responds, "Yes... the urge to care for something innocent and helpless. It makes sense that we'd feel that." "No, I don't think I'd be good at it." (+10 friendship.) She responds, "Oh, really? I think you'd make a good parent." "No, The world's crowded enough already." (-10 friendship.) She responds, "hmm... If everyone thought like that, humans would die out." "No, I don't want to be tied down with a family." (-10 friendship.) She responds, "Oh... That's kind of sad... but I guess I can understand your point." The scene fades and she thanks you for showing up.

Ten Hearts

You receive a letter from Penny. After receiving the letter, enter the pool area of the spa between 7pm and midnight.

Details

Penny joins you in the pool. She asks if you know why she invited you here. "You have something to tell me." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "That's right..." "I'm not exactly sure." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "Really? I thought you'd have noticed by now..." "You wanted to see me in my bathing suit." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "No!" Penny confesses her feelings for you. "I feel the same way about you." (No effect on friendship.) She responds, "...Oh, <your name>. I thought you did, but I wasn't sure. ...I'll always remember this night. You look so beautiful tonight... I... *gasp*" You kiss and the scene ends. "Sorry, but I don't like you in that way..." (-1500 friendship.) She bursts into tears and the scene ends.

Group Ten-Heart Event

If the player is unmarried and has given a bouquet to all available bachelorettes, raised friendship with each bachelorette to 10 hearts, and seen each bachelorette's 10-heart event, then entering Haley/Emily's House will trigger a cutscene. If Haley is the final bachelorette you share a Ten-Heart Event with, the Group Ten-Heart Event will be unavoidable as it is triggered immediately afterwards.

Details

If the player has a Rabbit's Foot in inventory, the cutscene will consist of a gossip session about Mayor Lewis and Marnie's relationship. If the player does not have a Rabbit's Foot in inventory, all bachelorettes will express anger about the player dating them all at one time. Regardless of the player's dialogue choice(s), all bachelorettes will decide to give the player the "cold shoulder" for about a week after the event. They will give angry dialogue when interacted with, and refuse gifts. After about a week, all bachelorettes will forgive the player, and dialogues return to normal.

This event will trigger only one time per save file. This event will not trigger if you are married or have given a Wilted Bouquet or Mermaid's Pendant to one of the marriage candidates.

Marriage

Penny's room.

Once married, Penny will move into the farmhouse and begin working at the museum on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Like other marriage candidates, she will add her own room off to the side of the bedroom, which happens to be a small library. She'll also setup a small potted plant garden behind the farmhouse where she'll go to read.

1: At 12 hearts she will help around the farm when she's not working. She will:

Water crops

Fill pet bowl

Feed animals

Repair fences

2: She will also occasionally cook you breakfast, adding one random breakfast food to your inventory. If your inventory is full, you will not receive the item.

Some of the possible breakfast items are:

Hashbrowns (90 Energy, 90 Health, +1 Farming)

Pancakes (90 Energy, 36 Health, +2 Foraging)

Omelet (100 Energy, 40 Health)

3: Less often, Penny will say that she had gone shopping and brought you something. Some of the possible items are:

Large Milk

Geode

Mixed Seeds

4: Give you a Stardrop as a sign of love.

Get Penny to 13/12 hearts and speak to her in your home. She will comment about life on the farm and how she is enjoying it, then give you the Stardrop Fruit as thanks.

After Marriage

"Hmm... Maybe I should experiment with a new recipe. You liked the last recipe I made, didn't you, honey? What was it called... 'Chili de [Player]?'" "We have it good here. We should always try and remember those less fortunate than us. I'm just grateful for what we have." "I was just admiring my wedding amulet... The shell is flawless. It must have cost you a fortune!"

I just want to say that I appreciate all the hard work you do for our household." "I wonder if Maru and Dr. Harvey will ever get together? I'm sure Harvey likes her..." "I think Maru will have to make the first move, though." "Spring is probably my favorite season. There's a certain freshness in the air that fills me with hope." "Ah, the 'spring cleaning'... I'm going to actually enjoy this." "Summer may be searing hot, but the humidity feels great on the skin." "In summer, the ants become very active. I could watch them for hours... they have a pretty complex civilization from the looks of it!" "It's summer... That means the house if full of flies. Don't worry, I'll take care of them." "*phew*... I need to eat more melon to combat this heat!" "Sorry if I smell... I was sweating all night in the heat." "Fall... It makes me think of colored paper and glue. Maybe I'm spending too much time with the children." "Will you grow any giant pumpkins this year?" "Winter's around the corner. We need to double check the heat system, turn off the valves, and check all the insulation in the house. Don't worry, I'll take care of it all." "Winter's a good time to unwind a bit. You deserve it after the long year!" "How will we stay afloat this winter? Oh, you don't have to tell me... I trust you to make the right decisions." "Thanks for the great year, [Player]. I'm excited to tackle the next year together." Morning There may be days when Penny stays on the farm or even solely inside the farmhouse. On these days, she might say: "Don't worry about me... I know you've got a lot of responsibilities outside of the house. I'm fine in here by myself!" "Oh, I'm not bored... I'm just enjoying what we have here. It's a simple life, but I like it." On rainy days Penny dialogue will change: "On days like this, I love to curl up with a good book." "The sound of rain used to bother me, when I lived in that old metal trailer. But it's quite soothing here." "On rainy days my thoughts always drift toward cinnamon and cookies." If Penny makes a breakfast: "Good morning, [Player]! I made you a hot breakfast. "It's important to me that you leave here with a full belly." If Penny is on her room: "I always wanted my very own library. This is so charming." "I like to do a little reading first thing in the morning. It gets my brain into gear." If Penny helped in the farm she will have other lines of dialogue: "I got up early and watered some crops for you. I hope it makes your job a little easier today." "I spent the morning repairing a few of the fences. They should be as good as new." "I also filled [pet's name] water bowl." If Penny is leaving for the day and will return home later, she may say (regardless of whether or not she is working): "I have to go into town today. Don't work too hard, and eat something good for lunch!" "I'm going to head into town today, just for fun. I'll be back in awhile!" If you Penny gives you a Starfruit: "Honey... I wanted to give you that fruit as a symbol of my love." Evening "Good evening, honey. Did you accomplish everything you wanted to today? If not, that's okay. We've got all the time in the world!" "Good evening. My day was fine, thanks! How was yours?" "I had a nice time... It's good to stay in contact with everyone. Tell me about your day." "Jas and Vincent weren't behaving well today. I'm still all wound up..." "Ready to tuck in? I made the bed and everything..." "Hi there, honey. Ready to spend a quiet evening at home?" "Oh... the smell? I tried to do some baking... It didn't work out too well." "How was your day, honey? I spent my afternoon reading a novel." "I was just thinking about that night we met in the bathhouse... I'll never forget that night..." "Sweetie, I'm pregnant. Isn't it wonderful?" This dialogue happens only if you decide to have a baby. "Mom's probably pretty lonely now that I'm gone. I just hope she doesn't visit the saloon more to make up for it." "You shouldn't feel bad! Mom has to solve her own problems." "I'm sure Mom's at the saloon right now... But I don't feel so bad about it anymore. It's out of my hands."
