Stardew Valley Wiki
Advertisement

Penny is an NPC and one of the twelve marriage candidates who live in Stardew Valley.

Penny lives with her mom, Pam, in a little trailer by the river. While Pam is out carousing at Stardrop Saloon, Penny quietly tends to her chores in the dim, stuffy trailer she is forced to call her home. Penny is shy, modest, and reserved, lacking any grand ambitions for her life other than moving out of the trailer and starting a family. She likes to cook (although her skills are questionable) and read books at the local library.

She also serves as a teacher to Vincent and Jas, which she admits isn't always easy, though she still enjoys it. While the player is travelling through the town during the day, it's very likely they'll run into Penny leading the two kids around Pelican Town.

Heart Events[]

Two Hearts

Enter Pelican Town between 9am and 2pm on a Sunny Day.

George is trying to access his mailbox but cannot reach a letter, Penny walks up and assists him, but then he complains about it. The farmer can side with Penny, George, or remain neutral neither adding nor subtracting friendship points.

  • "I was. You did a kind thing there, Penny." (+50 friendship points.)
  • "I was. You should've asked instead of assuming George wanted help." (-50 friendship points.)
  • "I'm just taking a walk, minding my own business." (No effect on friendship)

Regardless of your choice, George will apologize to Penny for getting angry. He comments on how it was very kind of her to help. Penny says she understands. After George leaves, Penny says it must be difficult growing old.

Four Hearts

Enter Penny's Trailer when she's home.

Penny complains about how messy the trailer is, and asks if you could help clean it up. The player automatically accepts. As you do so, Pam returns home and yells at Penny for having someone else clean the trailer. Pam eventually asks you to leave, and they continue their discussion privately. Pam admits she's embarrassed to have strangers clean up the house. The next day, you get an apology letter from Penny.

Six Hearts

Enter Pam and Penny's trailer at midday when only Penny is there to trigger the event. Penny is just finishing cooking a new recipe she invented. She gives you a taste of her food to eat, and the player takes a bite. Judging from how green you become the food must be terrible. Regardless of your choice you and Penny simply settle on watching a movie for the evening, however, your answer will affect her affection meter.

  • "(Lie) Mmm! That was delicious!" (+50 friendship points.)
  • "Uh... can I get the rest to go?" (-50 friendship points.)
  • "Well it's definitely unique... how did you get it so rubbery?" (No change in friendship points.)

Afterward she thanks you for being her taste-tester and suggests you watch a movie.

Eight Hearts

Enter Cindersap Forest, 9am - 4pm, any weather

Enter Cindersap Forest while Penny is on her "free time". She will be having a picnic with Jas and Vincent, playing by the water. Penny states she brought the children on a field trip, so she asks the player if they can be her guest speaker for the children and talk about country life. Your response will affect her affection for you.

  • "I'd love to!" (+10 friendship points.)
  • "Sure." (No change in friendship points.)
  • "No... I can't stand kids." (-50 friendship points.)

She proceeds to teach the children about the subject but then she calls the player to speak and the player is given a series of things to say to the children. Depending on your answers the kids will ask different questions. Afterward, Penny talks to the player about how it's tough to teach the kids, however, she doesn't mind and actually enjoys seeing them grow and learn new things. She then asks you if you want kids of your own. Your response will affect her affection for you.

  • "I haven't really thought about it." (No change in friendship points.)
  • "Absolutely. I want a big family." (+20 friendship points.)
  • "I guess so. It's a natural urge." (+20 friendship points.)
  • "No, I don't think I'd be good at it." (+10 friendship points.)
  • "No, The world's crowded enough already." (-10 friendship points.)
  • "No, I don't want to be tied down with a family." (-10 friendship points.)

Ten Hearts

Spa, 7pm - 12am, any weather

Penny will send you a message asking you to meet her in the bathhouse after dark. When you arrive she will ask you if you know why she asked you here. Penny will then tell the player her true feelings for them. Your response may affect her affection for you.

  • "I feel the same way about you." - No change in friendship points.
  • "Sorry, but I don't like you in that way..." - -100 friendship points.

Marriage

On a rainy day, you must go to the east part of the beach (only accessible after donating 300 wood to fix the bridge) and talk to the Old Mariner. If the player has their house upgraded enough he will sell you a Mermaid's Pendant. Should the player gift to the pendant to Penny, she will agree to marry you and ask for three days to prepare the ceremony. After the wedding, she will move in with you.

14 Hearts

When you come home from work Penny will ask you about your day and give you something to eat. After the food, she will start asking if she can redecorate your bedroom. The four options are:

  • Forest and Moon: Peaceful Blue
  • Strawberry Home
  • Pirate Theme.
  • "I don't want to redecorate our bedroom"

These options don't change your friendship points with her.

Dialogue[]

First Meeting[]

"Hi..." ... "Oh, did you want something?

Regular[]

"We're lucky to have a library in a small town like this."
"The raindrops on the roof of our trailer are really loud... But it's soothing!"
"I'm eager to move out. It's such a burden to be worrying about Mom all the time."
"I want her to be happy, but I can't stay here forever... you know?"
"Things changed a lot after the JojaMart went up. It's been really bad for Pierre's shop. Mom loves JojaMart, though. The prices are cheap, so she can afford a lot more there than she ever could at Pierre's."
"Hi. Ummm... The weather's interesting today, don't you think? Sorry..."
"This town's safe, but I always walk the children home anyway."

Questions[]

"My mother spends to much time at the saloon... But it's best not to dwell on bad things, right?" Right. It's best to be positive! OR I think it's good to be realistic.

Festivals[]

Luau

  • "We do this festival every year to give the governor a taste of everything the valley has to offer. Mayor Lewis hopes it will get the governor on our good side. That's why he'so neurotic about the way the soup tastes."

Dance of the Moonlight Jellies

  • "Life is so easy for a jellyfish...just letting the waves carry you onward forever."

Festival of Ice

You find Penny over by the snowmen with Jas.

She asks you "Hmm... What kind of snowman should we make?

Dialogue Options:

1. A classic one. Carrot nose, top-hat, scarf. (No effect on friendship)

  • Response: "I guess maybe it's best to stick with the classics, huh?

2. Something funky. Icicle antennas, pine cone eyes. (No effect on friendship)

  • Response: "Okay, That sounds like fun!"

3. Snowmen are boring. Think outside of the box! (No effect on friendship)

  • Response: "Um, Okay... I think I might stick with something more conventional."

Fun Fact[]

If you will look on the portrait when chating with Penny you could see that she is wearing yellow shirt but when you are walking next to her you would see that she have a yellow shirt with green collar and purple belt.
