Scrolling through tumblr and perchance saw someone's hope for Penny coming back. This inspired a bit of digging around through the original story of Pinocchio (Penny's base fable).

Perhaps this is clutching at straws but a main character of the story is a fairy with Turquoise hair who facilitates the transformation from puppet to "Real boy" after he has experienced many hardships, first appearing as a young (ostensibly dead) girl waiting for delivery of a coffin and then later a woman in poor health in need of money. Pinocchio in the meantime has been working at a farm to support an ill Gepetto and is heading to town to buy a new suit carrying with him a sum of 40 Pennies. He is approached by a snail in the employ of the ailing fairy to whom he gives the money and returns home.

Awakening the next morning after a dream of being kissed by the fairy he realises he has become a real boy and the fairy has provided him a new suit and the same bag he carried his pennies in, only it now contains 40 gold coins (Basically a fortune) and Gepetto, miraculously, recovers.

Penny is known as the first mechanical being with a soul/aura. Drawing parallels with the story and a play on words (Which the writers of the show seem fond of) there could end up being 40 Pennies if mass production of Soul-bots was the next step. Queue Penny with a gold motif later on.
