Im glad you see Pennie this way as I did intend for her biggest flaw is to be too trusting. At this point she hasn’t reaslised how bad the world actually is as in her eyes its only decrimniation and a government abusing its power. She just believes they are closer to peace than they actually are. Eventually she reaslises how bad things are but this eventually leads her to rely on Ray too much. Although she will outgrow this, she will retain her light hearted nature which puts the other characters at ease.
