Actually I don't think that makes sense - Qrow is teacher at Signal, a combat school in Vale. Penny very likely is NOT from Vale, rather a first time visitor there (remember: ...venture a strange town).

Also Qrow was Ruby's uncle and weapon/combat mentor - Ruby being a weapon design prodigy and nerd, do you really believe something like Penny would have gone past her unnoticed?
