How is Penny able to inherit the powers of the Winter Maiden? One of the key components of inheriting the maiden powers is that you must be a female or in other words have female aura. While Penny is a "female character" she technically is still a machine/robot built by her father, Pietro Polendina, who gave part of his aura to her. In reality, Penny is a machine with male aura. I do not know how it is possible to explain around this logic. I have nothing against Penny having the maiden powers, but I just do not understand how she can even inherit them. Before RWBY V7 E13, the process of inherting maiden powers made absolute sense; however, in RWBY V7 E13, the writers just threw out all previous "rules" (or key components, however you want to word it) to inherting maiden powers. If anyone has an explanation, then I would love to hear it. If you agree with my thinking, then I would also love to know.
