Penny Fitzgerald

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.

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. Since she has a shell, it is covered in various holes through which her arms, legs and antlers stick out.

Starting 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 mother's.

Penny does not normally wear much clothing aside from a pair of orange sneakers and some red and white arm bands.

Personality
Penny, despite being a cheerleader, 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 only 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.

Gumball
Gumball and Penny are deeply in love with each other, but Penny seems to have an easier time hiding her emotion (in other words, smoother) when Gumball is around. Unfortunately, neither is capable of expressing it, even though they are both aware of the other's affection. So far, Penny has kissed Gumball on the cheek twice ; in addition, they attempted to kiss on the lips twice - once in The Pressure, and another in The Party. Both attempts failed as in the former, Banana Joe chopped down the treehouse that the kiss was taking place in, and in the resulting confusion, Gumball kisses Darwin on the lips in The Pressure. In the latter, the moment was ruined by Richard honking his car horn loudly and interupted the moment with the last thing Gumball said to Penny was that he loves her in The Party causing her to blush. It is shown in The End that in the future when she and every one are adults she would like Gumball to marry her.

Mr. Fitzgerald
In The Date, it is revealed that Penny's father is very protective of his daughter and at first does not approve of her hanging out with Gumball. In a currently unknown season 2 episode, it is shown that he still does not care for Gumball or Tobias, and thinks that Penny deserves better.
