I thought this community might find it interesting to talk about some of the more unusual peripheral characters. And I thought we could start it off talking about Penny.

She's had a rough go of it. Penny and her brother went into what seemed like a harmless but lucrative entertainment gig at a royal wedding. But from there it all went wrong for them.

Their physical traits and unwitting association with a plan to tarnish Tyrion's name caused Oppo to be mistaken for Tyrion and murdered. And then in her grief she tried to get misplaced revenge on Tyrion with a murder attempt, before befriending him. Then both of them got captured and enslaved. And when they are finally given a chance to escape she had to leave behind her beloved pets.

Yet during all this, she clearly starts to fall in love with Tyrion (based on one of the TWOW sample chapters). They share a common bond of being innocent victims to House Lannister's malice.

What other emotional connections do Penny and Tyrion share?

What do you think her and Oppo's origin story or upbringing was?

Will Tyrion reciprocate her affections?

Is Penny only falling for Tyrion because she's lonely or traumatized?

What are your theories about what's in store for Penny in the future, possibly in the royal court of Danerys?
