Hello,

Wow, thanks, first comment!

I understand what you mean. I think that deep down, Penny was built to have the same personality and thoughts as a genuine person, so that she could have Aura. If she had overrides and stuff, I agree, she wouldn't really be a person, and so can't have Aura.

Actually, as a quick aside, I think that is the reason she was built--as an immortal child that could learn, and so become the most effective weapon against the Grimm. I've heard a friend tell me of a series called the Culture series, by Ian M Banks. In the story, everyone has mind uploads, so that when they die, they can instantly be resurrected.

So, Penny, as she said herself, is the ultimate weapon. She can use Aura, learn, fight, but her true soul, essence of self, will never die and can hop from body to body to fight eternally against the Grimm.

But, at this point, I think, in her own way, she's very innocent.

So, I agree--I don't think she'd ever be able to strike a friend.

But, maybe I wasn't clear (I'll go back and edit it) I meant that Penny would rebel against her father, to help Ruby and co, instead of the other way around.

Either way, thanks for your comment!
