Description: Penny Polendina [pen-nee pole-en-dee-nah] in REMNANTS is an orphaned child from the Great Siege. As part of the New Shelter refugee program, she was taken in by the Kingdom of Vale and given an apprenticeship in the Vale national archives, under the tutelage of archivist and Beacon's deputy headmistress, Glynda Goodwitch. The Great Siege left Penny with an injury that cost her her arms, and she now uses a pair of prosthetic wooden hands.

Naturally curious and innocent, Penny is a very sweet girl who is largely sheltered and doesn't know much at all about the world around her except for what she reads in books. While normally very energetic and expressive with her words and body, Penny is self-conscious about her prosthetics, especially around strangers, and struggles with feeling that she's "a little bit less whole" since her injury.

Penny is based on the tale of Pinocchio, originally written by Italian author Carlo Collodi. 

Voice: Penny has a youthful voice towards a higher pitch. She has a certain decidedly stilted way of speaking her words. This is hard to describe without offering examples from her officially dubbed performance in both English and Japanese. Penny lacks an understanding of social cues and often takes words too literally. She tends to sometimes choose unusual words when speaking to others and notices unusual things that others don't.

I would like to explore a Penny with a slight Italian accent, while maintaining her friendly, innocent nature. How subtle or thick this accent is, if any, is up to you.

  • [greeting Ruby, a new friend she made a few days ago; stumbling upon her in the library.]

    [cheerful and excited] "Ah, Ruby! It is so wonderful to see you again! How was Beacon? Did you get to go on any missions? I would like--"

    [realises she's being too loud in the library, she lowers her voice] "Oh... shhh! *short laugh* I would like to know more about your day! Shall we talk about it somewhere else?"

  • [Working with her mentor Glynda, sorting out the archives and library and recording information in books. She sounds cheerful despite talking about a negative situation]

    "Yes, about twelve books overdue... two from here and one from here... Yes, you were correct Ms. Glynda, none of them have been returned in any timely manner whatsoever!"

    [She notices Glynda is very much upset about the overdue books.]

    "Yes, I do agree that overdue books are very bad... but if I borrowed a book and haven't given it back, all while knowing Ms. Glynda would surely come after me... that must mean I must really love that book! Is this... untrue?"

  • [Penny is fighting someone trying to hurt Ruby. Her voice is firm and determined.]

    "Leave my friend alone!"

    [She holds the attacker off while telling Ruby to head to safety.]

    "Do not worry Ruby. They will not get past me! I am more than well-equipped for the task!"
