Penny Polendina is a Champion from Airlocked! season 1.

Penny Polendina is a cheerful, inquisitive girl - and an experimental military AI built to combat the monstrous Grimm that inhabit her homeworld. The first of her kind on Remnant, she was allegedly capable of generating the Aura that allowed humans to fight the Grimm despite her artificial nature. She guarded her origins closely, fearing exposure and rejection for being "not a real girl". A skilled fighter, prior to being chosen for the Champion Excellence Program she was participating in a large tournament of trainee Huntsmen and Huntresses, which ended in tragedy when she was destroyed for the first time by future Champion Pyrrha Nikos.

Related characters and concepts

  • The Grimm: Sometimes referred to as Creatures of Grimm, are monstrous, skeletal creatures that roam all over Remnant, attacking humans on instinct. They're allegedly drawn to negative emotions, and are considered "the greatest threat to humanity" on Remnant.
  • Huntsmen and Huntresses: Specially trained warriors who use unique weaponry and powers derived from a force called Aura to fight the Grimm. They also function as soldiers, mercenaries, and jacks-of-all-trade. Penny, Pyrrha, and Ruby Rose are all Huntresses in training.
  • Aura & Semblances: The power of the human soul, Aura functions as a sort of personal forcefield and may be trained and activated to use a unique superhuman ability called a Semblance. Training as a Huntsman or Huntress is heavily tied to learning to unlock and use one's Aura.
  • Ruby Rose: A young woman, also a Huntress in training, who appeared in the unaired pilot episode. Penny describes Ruby as her first and best friend, and over the course of season 1 begins to wonder if her feelings are more than platonic.
  • Pyrrha Nikos: Huntress in training and future Champion, and Penny's final opponent in the Vytal Festival Tournament. Penny was initially starstruck and ecstatic to remember the beginnings of their match, before remembering her own destruction at Pyrrha's hand. The cause of this is never made clear, but it's heavily implied in season 4 to be accidental.

Notes

Speculation

  • Ruby Rose does not mention Penny during the unaired pilot, leading to the question of how one-sided their relationship might actually be.

Trivia

  • Penny is the last surviving non-human of season one, as well as the final culprit.
