Penny is a headstrong 15-year-old girl who lives in a small resort town in the mountains of Colorado with her conservative father and her young, bohemian aunt Nicole. The fact that she doesn't allow others to mess with her makes her popular in spite of her kookiness. She constantly thinks up new fashion designs from the things she experiences around her. Penny's a wonderful public speaker and loves to exaggerate and use unique metaphors. She's cute and freckly and thinks of her appearance more as a form of art than a way of competing with other girls.
