Another thing that I forgot to mention that one of my irl friends brought up was: how did Penny gain her aura? Her being the first synthetic being to possess an aura is clearly part of the breakthroughs in aura research that Ironwood mentioned to Pyrrha. Ironwood also said that they've researched what aura is and how to harness it. This makes me wonder if they transferred an aura from someone, and if so, who? The more likely explaination is that they found out what aura actually is and how to make it, so does Penny have an aura generator or rechargable battery? If she does have a generator, then can she potentially have an infinite aura level? I don't know, so what do you think? Ah yes, I read the thread title wrong. Missed the "As of" part.

Yeah a lot of people are speculating on Penny. Some think they just found a way to replicate the actions of Aura. Others like to think they transferred the aura into the body from someone who would otherwise die. And then some speculate that dying person was potentially Ironwood's child (if he has one).

I personally am hoping the Aura is more synthetic. Penny has a sub-plot revolving around is she just a machine or is she human. I feel the story is more impactful if she, even as a fully synthetic being, is considered human as opposed to the, "You've been human all along. You just lost your body," idea.
