It's not a nickname! My name's Penelope! They're just lazy and don't like saying the whole thing is all.

Penny, real name Penelope, is an enslaved child at Paradise Falls and a resident of Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.[2]

Background

Publications

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.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

Notes

  • Rescuing Penny from Paradise Falls will make her brother Joseph more inclined to help the Lone Wanderer get into Vault 87.[3]
  • 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.

  • "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?"
