Penni is a trainer living in Yew during Ultima VII.
Description[edit]
An energetic huntress, Penni moved to the forests of Yew that she might enjoy the sport of tracking the abundant game of the Deep Forest. While living a remote life with no formal occupation, the woman was willing to offer instruction in the art of spear-fighting, for a price. Maintaining a friendly rivalry with the other local trainer, Bradman, Penni eschewed ranged weapons, feeling them better suited for those lacking in physical stature.[1]
Married to the wandering treasure hunter, Addom, Penni often worried about her husband's safety during his travels, as his trade frequently saw them living apart. Should the Avatar have met the adventurer, the hero could relay news of him to the concerned forester, relieving her apprehensions and lightening her mood.[2]
