Much of Penny Pincer’s early history is unknown. She is extremely intelligent and capable, having become the nation’s youngest heart surgeon in her twenties, and is better at chemistry than even Gina Diggers (see Gina Diggers), though not as good at nuclear physics or xeno-linguistics. She is extremely well-off, but how much of her initial wealth was earned versus inherited is uncertain.

Among other pursuits, Penny worked her way up in the world of adventuring and archaeology, eventually becoming Gina’s arch-rival. The two of them began a running feud whenever they happened to go after the same site (which was rather often), spoiling each other’s plans and often as not making away with whatever the main treasure was.

 For all their intellect, their rivalry often bordered on the childish, including the name-twisting insults "Gold Digger" and "Penny Pincher." At some point, this situation gave rise (so to speak) to the "Wedgie War," an odd form of psychological warfare in which each looked for the first opportunity at a given site to sneak up on her opponent and give a sharp tug on the back of her underwear.

Not quite having Gina’s level of scruples, Penny readily resorted to stronger, less savory means of gaining the upper hand on her rival. These included employing local armed mercenaries, lying to and arming paranoid Leprechauns (see Leprechauns), "forgetting" to give Gina adequate advance notice of the departure time of their flight to claim a reward, or simply getting the drop on Gina and forcing her to act as a distraction to the bad guy while Penny grabbed the treasure. Penny’s experience soon showed that when angry, Gina lost about 80% of her rational thinking ability, so she pushed Gina’s buttons as much as she could to take advantage.

Despite several occasions in which it was apparent that she and Gina worked better with each other than against, Penny remained stubborn in her rivalry. She finally offered to put an end to the feud when Gina went broke as a partial result of a bad-luck curse, though Penny still arranged to get in the "last lick."

During her first forced cooperative venture with Gina, Penny met Gina’s friend and transport agent, Kevin "Ace" Koss. She quickly developed a territorial affection for him, though Ace initially didn’t think one dinner amounted to a relationship. However, he eventually began returning her affections. Their relationship has since grown much stronger, though Ace’s long-standing "playboy flyboy" attitudes have occasionally created problems. Penny is eager to tie the knot with her beau, but realizes that despite his now-established fidelity, he isn’t quite prepared to make that level of commitment. Even her birthday present of a tachyon propulsion engine offering five times the thrust at half the weight didn’t quite get a proposal out of him. She’s willing to be patient, however, and he knows she’s about the best thing that could ever happen to him, so chances are getting better for it.

Soon after officially becoming friends, Penny and Gina encountered the time-traveling canine genius Dr. Peachbody and stopped him from killing the inventor of the dog whistle in 1784, thus foiling his plans to ensure a future where dogs ruled over men. In an attempt to stop them, Peachbody detonated a number of gene-accelerator micro-bombs, which instantly generated a group of gene-clone bioweapons based on monsters out of human mythology. After he’d been defeated, one of the bioweapons, a harpy, was freed from his control but left a mental infant. Penny decided to take the harpy, whom she named Charlotte (see Charlotte), back to the present with her so she could adopt and train it to be her bodyguard, much like Gina’s were-cheetah sister Britanny (see Cheetah) was for Gina.

 I agree... I really like what penny has become these days.. back in th' day i used to call her "The Anti-Gina".. nowadays she's became a character i can say is respectable but can have a mean moment if you cross her.She's a mother figure to Charlie and someone Gina can trust in a pinch... although i do miss their wedgie war they had going.

anyway... penny has become a character that can hold her own and deserve all the props due to her..... Now if only Ace would pop the question.^^
