Description

Penny Bassett (née Wise) made her premier appearance in The Green Ring Conspiracy, where she met Connie in an art class over the summer. They became quick friends and Penny became a major recurring character in the show from then on. She is described as having blonde hair and blue eyes (Find a Penny, Part 1) and being 5 feet, 8 inches tall. In Out of the Woods, it's learned that she accepted Jesus into her heart when she was a child. Along with attending church with Wooton and Connie every Sunday morning, she also attends an afternoon service at a more quiet and traditional church, where she feels closer to God. She eventually marries Wooton Bassett, who she has a strong connection with.

Personality

Penny is very cheery. She is easily entertained by the small things in life, though she can become easily distracted. She is a Christian, but she can be swayed by false teachings if she doesn't know better. She is quite eccentric and a fairly abstract thinker, which helps her with one of her principal talents—art.

History

Penny originally was born and lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Odyssey to attend Campbell County College, where her fiancée moved. They later broke up over voicemail. Dr. Benjamin Trask was her mentor, but he betrayed her by working with counterfeiters; she testified against him, though she became rather sulky about it. She was also Dr. Trask's teaching assistant but lost the job after he was arrested. No other teacher was willing to take her on, as they saw her testimony as a betrayal against the college (A Penny Saved). Because of this, she became temporarily homeless and lived in her car, until Connie insisted she move in with her. Also, due to her fallen relationship with Dr. Trask, she started to question who she could trust. But with help from Whit and Connie, she started to learn to trust again (Childish Things), and extended that trust to a prospective employer, Jacques Henri. Dr. Henri hired her to work at his art gallery at the end of the episode. She also became Wooton's fiancée, and later, his wife.

Family

Penny's mother is Eleanor Wise and her father is Frank Wise. Her parents live in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Her older sister Charlotte is married. Penny is married to Wooton Bassett.
