Penny

“	“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 ten characters available to marry. Her trailer is just east of the center of town, west of the river.
