“It's not a nickname! My name's Penelope! They're just lazy and don't like saying the whole thing is all.”
Penelope, more commonly referred to as Penny, is one of several Little Lamplight children who have been captured by slavers at Paradise Falls in 2277.
Background[]
She spends much time alone in a corner of the slave house and laments that Rory Maclaren is in danger of dying due to being isolated in the Box for a long period. She has become fond of the man.
Outside of her role as a child slave, Penny is a scavenger adept at foraging food and understanding wasteland animals. At Lamplight, she admires her brother Joseph and she aspires to be like him due to his resourcefulness and wisdom.[Non-game 1]

Effects of player's actions[]
- Penny refuses to leave without her good friend Rory. It is optional for the player character to either help Rory or convince Penny to leave without him by passing a speech check. Rescuing Penny from Paradise Falls will make her brother Joseph more inclined to help the Lone Wanderer get into Vault 87, through the method that only he can unlock. After saving Penny from Paradise Falls and talking to her in Little Lamplight, there is an amusing dialogue path that reveals that her real name is Penelope.
Notes[]
- If one chooses to kill all slavers as the means of completing Rescue from Paradise, Rory will occasionally not appear and Penny will simply leave without any mention of him.
- Alternately, when they refuse to leave, one can shoot them. They cannot be hurt and will retreat to Little Lamplight.

Notable quotes[]
- "It's not a nickname! My name's Penelope! They're just lazy and don't like saying the whole thing is all."
- "Nuh-uh. Not without Rory. You gotta get him out of the box. You just gotta! They've got keys for it somewhere. That mungo Forty has one. I don't know where the other one is. His boss probably has it somewhere. You get Rory out, and I'll leave. Not until then."
- "I already told Sammy AND Squirrel I'm not going. I'm not leaving Rory! What're you gonna do, shoot me?"

Penny is a 12-year-old Lamplighter who spends most of her time alone in a corner of the slave house. She laments that Rory Maclaren, whom she has grown close to, has been in isolation in the Box for a very long time and will likely die if he's not released. In fact, when the time comes for you to rescue the Lamplighters, Penny will not leave unless she knows Rory has been released from the Box. When not enslaved, Penny is another scavenger team member from Little Lamplight. She's adept at finding food and understanding animals in the Wasteland, although this particular talent wasn't of much use when Slavers stumbled across their team. At Lamplight, she spends a lot of time with her brother Joseph, who's her hero; even though she can usually take care of herself, she admires the way Joseph seems to know everything, and she tries to be like him."
