Pennie seems to be able to be described in a singular word, innocence but it seems almost to the point of flaw. Is this purposeful? She is lighthearted, trusting, eager to trust and please those around her. It just seems in a world of persecution, she might be a little more reserved, but I might be reading off (I DO have a one-year-old who is trying to help right now.). I do understand her history and her Uncle, I did read it. It might just be the beginning of her journey and I need to be patient:-P.
