We do already have thread about her though. (Penny's Humanity) Penny is armed with weapons way beyond even what Schnee security drones were toting, it would be overkill to outfit something meant for general purpose with army-pacification capabilities. Frankly Penny is a badass and it's hard to believe she was built for anything but badassery, and remember that the Puppetmaster said "Penny your time will come" although the most popular theory is that some sort of flaw in Penny delays her deployment, maybe he was hinting at her using her combat abilities at the right moment. The Vytal Festival is probably her debut since it hosts audiences from all over the world and nothing is more grandiose for a revolutionary weapon than a global audience.

The problem I have with the Humanity discussions is that they cram speculation about many diverse fields on one thread; which was fine but a bit overwhelming so I decided that trying to narrow the focus to at least figure out where Penny came from.
