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 twelve characters available to marry.[1] 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.

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."[2]

Dialogue
Questions
"But it's best not to dwell on bad things, right?"
- Right. It's best to be positive!
- "That's how I feel. I'm just going to focus on making the future better."
- I think it's good to be realistic.
- "Maybe you're right. It's better to cope with reality."
After marriage
General
- "I just saw a songbird flying due west. In Stardew Valley that's a very good omen."
- "I'm really happy on our little farm, [Player]."
- "Isn't this the perfect place to raise children? I would've been so happy growing up on a farm."
- "Hmm... skirt or pants tomorrow? Oh, who am I kidding... I always go with the skirt."
- "A nice house, two wonderful kids, and a beautiful plot of land. We're so very fortunate."
- Note: This dialogue will only play if you have two children.
- "This is a lot more peaceful than my old spot in town. I'm very happy here."
- This dialogue will play when Penny is reading in her garden.
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!"
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!"
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..."
Quests
- Penny may randomly request an item at the "Help Wanted" board outside Pierre's General Store. The reward is 3x the item's base value and 150 Friendship points.
