Penny Fitzgerald is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is an antlered peanut who is in Miss Simian's class at Elmore Junior High. Gumball and Penny have massive crushes on each other, but the two of them struggle to express their feelings. She was part of the treehouse girls' club, before it disbanded due to the tree being cut down.

Appearance

Penny is an anthropomorphic peanut. Like the rest of her family, she has a set of antlers growing out of her head. Her body is a sort of shell, although, what she looks like underneath this shell is not currently known, though, there are quite a few theories. Since she has a shell, it is covered in various holes through which her arms, legs and antlers stick out.

In Season 2, the design of Penny's shell has been altered. Previously, it was straighter and shaped more like her father's shell, but now, it is curved to resemble her sister's and her mother's. Her antlers are also darker and smaller.

Penny does not normally wear much clothing, aside from a pair of orange sneakers, and some red and white arm bands. However, she is often seen carrying white pom-poms.   

Personality

Penny is very nice and friendly. She sticks up for her friends often, implying she has a strong sense of integrity.

She is one of the few people to understand Gumball, whom she has a crush on. The feeling is mutual, but neither of them have ever had a chance to properly express their feelings, despite that it's clearly evident.

She has represented independent signs of getting annoyed on occasion, like becoming angered (even resorting to deception) to her father in the episode "The Knights," when he forbid her from seeing the Wattersons, and tiring of the conflict between Gumball and Tobias in the same episode. But, she is exceedingly grateful and ecstatic when Gumball saves her from accidentally getting hit by her father's vehicle, and relieved when she realizes her father is okay as well, showing that she is self-sufficiently forgiving and caring.

She also seems to be athletic, as she is a very good cheerleader, and was/is part of the synchronized swimming club. Also, in "The Dress," she was one of the first people to finish running around the track.

Trivia

• Penny is apparently allergic to peanuts, which is very ironic because she is a peanut.
  • She is also allergic to blueberries, as seen and revealed in "The Dream." She mentions this allergy again in "The Voice."
• In Project Exonaut, Penny is available as an exosuit for 1,000 coins.
• As seen in "The Club," Penny is enrolled in the synchronized swimming club that also includes Darwin, Leslie, and a dog.
• Early in her development, she had darker antlers.
• In "The Flower," it is revealed that Leslie is her cousin.
• In the upcoming episode "The Shell," she will be seen without her shell.
  • The episode was originally planned for Season 2, but for fiscal reasons, it was moved to Season 3.
• Given that Penny is a female peanut with deer-like antlers, her design could be a pun on doughnut (since she resembles a "doe-nut").
