Penny is also good at writing and reciting poetry, and becomes jealous when her friend Dijonay becomes just as good as her. At one point, she tried out for cheerleading, but due to having an accident with the stage being converted into a giant CD, LaCienega got the last spot on the squad. Penny is a straight 'A' student, and is part of the school newspaper staff. She is a talented singer as shown when she becomes a solo singer for Wizard Kelly productions but quits after missing her old life.
She always listens to and respects her parents, but often caves in to peer pressure. She enjoys hanging out with her friends, even though they have gotten her into trouble, and left her to face danger by herself many times.
