Penelope (Sly Cooper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penelope is a character from the video game Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.

[edit] Description

An anthropomorphic mouse, Penelope has RC flight prowess beyond even Bentley's. Discovered by Bentley in a chatroom, Penelope refused to join the gang until they proved themselves to be "the best". To prove this to her, they had to beat her current employer, the Black Baron, in "his" aviation tournament. Working together, the gang shot down the Baron's plane, and Sly engaged "him" in a battle of fisticuffs-his cane versus the Baron's boxing prowess. After defeating the Baron, Sly discovered that it was in fact Penelope in disguise, using the mask of the Black Baron to enter the tournament that she was blocked from by age limits.

Penelope willingly joined the gang as their RC expert, becoming the fifth member of the Cooper Gang.

As illustrated by his wide-eyed stare and drooling at the sight of her (Obviously exaggerated) online picture, Bentley is infatuated with Penelope, much like his friend Sly Cooper is with Carmelita Fox. However, Penelope is at first obsessed with Sly due to his looks and athletic abilities. However, after she gets to know Bentley and he saves her from Captain LeFwee, the two get together. After Sly's disappearance, Penelope is the only member of the gang who sticks with Bentley.

Penelope does not get involved in much physical gameplay, due to having little physical prowess. She mostly relies on her RC Chopper and Car to pull of her assignments. However, upon realizing her affections for Bentley, she proved her mettle by challenging LeFwee to a sword duel amid the rigging of the Death's Head's sails. This fight was actually the boss battle of the level "Dead Men Tell No Tales" of Sly 3.

As shown at the end of Sly 3:Honor Among Thieves, Penelope helped Bentley create a new Cooper vault. Penelope and Bentley added more technological safeguards to the upgraded vault, probably to discourage anyone like Dr. M from trying to break in.
