And yet. Both having and not having strings makes me lean towards her being atleast partially non-human...That, or a very futuristically equipped and somewhat sheltered little girl.

Anyway. Is it not possible that there are two variants of that string? Like maybe a stronger version of string when she needs to anchor/rappel an object. And a smaller, nearly invisible type of string that she uses for when she is waving the swords around like Namine.

I notice people have said the strings have the potential to be tangled up when in use. Yet, forgive me for ever referencing this anime but, Kankuro from Naruto and all of his over the top puppetry has never had problems with strings being tangled up while using them. And Naruto is actually a genuine anime. Granted, they are chakra strings and work differently, but why should we now assume that such physical freedoms can't apply to Penny?

There are no physics that have been imposed that imply strict realism in usage and practicality; like the volume/space arguements above.
