Penny

Penny (ボタン, Botan?) a character who first appeared in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. She attends the same Academy as the player character and is in their grade, making her a classmate of theirs. Under the alias Cassiopeia, she is the big boss of Team Star. However, despite being a villainous team leader, she also plays a decent role in the story of both Scarlet and Violet as a main character and one of the player's best friends alongside Arven and Nemona.

Appearance Penny is a skinny, relatively short androgynous girl with fair skin, black eyes, and short boyish-style hair. Her hair is uniquely configured, with the front half being red and the back half being pale-blue, tapering to white at the back of her head. She wears a large, dark hoodie with fluffy cream-colored sleeves and a stylized Poké Ball logo across the chest, along with a short pleated mini-skirt, and patterned grey tights decorated with red and blue X marks. Her boots are chunky, with dark uppers and pale soles. She carries an oversized Eevee-themed backpack, and wears round black-framed glasses.

Personality Penny has a shy and rather cold or tomboyish personality. She is an introvert and doesn't feel comfortable around people. She also has a habit of being a truant, as she doesn't come to the academy she attends very often. On the other hand, Penny does care about her friends, even though she had never met them in person until the end of the main game, but has little respect for the school and the "system". In a conversation the party can have in Area Zero, Penny, whilst talking about how upset the player character's Legendary Pokémon was, she mentions feeling that whenever she looked at school, it terrified her as she was subjected to isolation. This could be why she did not attend the academy and formed Team Star.

She apparently excels at computers and hacking more than she is a Trainer. As clearly suggested by her outfit and Pokémon team, she loves Eevee, as they're able to evolve into whatever they desire without any constraints. She has a habit of calling them "Veevees". When opening up to potential friends, she often complains about her parents embarrassing her.

She can be a bit mean and snippy, complaining about her father, and remarking upon hearing that Kieran doesn't have a smartphone "How is this kid even alive!?" during the Mochi Mayhem DLC event.
