What if Penny had a Persona 4 style Shadow?

Quick tl;dr for people who don't know how Persona 4 or how a Shadow works, they're basically the physical manifestation of what someone represses deep down, taking form not only from those repressed emotions and thoughts, but also from how the person actually feels and perceives those parts of themself. If the person can face that part of themself and accept it, it becomes a Persona, a summonable entity with elemental powers, or if it's rejected, it becomes a rampaging monster.

So the nice thing right off the bat with this concept is we immediately have something to latch onto that Penny hides in canon, which is her status as Team Star's big boss and the whole Operation Star thing. So all we have to do is zero in on how Penny might feel about the whole operation star stuff and add a nice sprinkle of angst regarding the whole thing.

So, I tackled this with a fun mindset: What if part of Penny felt justified in scaring off the bullies, and slighted that she had to face consequences for forming the group? Of course, that's not her entirely, Shadows never encompass every aspect of a character, but it makes for a fun Shadow to discuss, so let's dive into the details.

Personality and the Core of the Shadow

Shadow Penny is born from Penny's deeply buried feelings about Operation Star and it's outcome, as while she recognizes how things ended up out of hand, a part of her is still mad that she had to suffer the consequences given the academy did absolutely nothing to help anyone while the bullying was ongoing. Part of her almost wishes the bullies fought back, just because she wanted to defeat them in their entirety and make them feel how her and all the other victims felt. However, because she recognizes these feelings and views them as cruel and aggressive... That's just how her Shadow forms.

Shadow Penny is a harsh, unwavering individual who looks down on everyone else from atop her untouchable base (The final room of the dungeon) and views herself as the closest thing the academy had to true authority. She's cold and calculating in nature, easily able to stab right to the heart of the problem like most Shadows tend to be able to do, and has no issues with lashing out at anyone who questions her authority.

Shadow Penny holds the firm belief that Penny's actions as Cassiopeia in Operation Star were all entirely justifiable, and that they shouldn't have faced consequences for her actions given the school failed to protect her and the others from the bullies in the first place. She even firmly states that the other members of Team Star and even the whole school should be thanking her for all she did for them. She's taking Penny's anger over everything that happened and amplifying it to a self-righteous degree, even the parts where Penny does feel things went too far.

In many respects, I imagine Shadow Penny to be similar to Yosuke's and Chie's Shadows in the way she's pretty cruel to people around her. She has a real "You're with me or you're against me" sort of style, and really plays into the delinquent angle super hard. And that's extremely prevalent with her outfit.

Humanoid Form (Pre-rejection)

Shadow Penny, like most Shadows, shares the same base appearance of regular Penny, but with an over-the-top, crazy looking outfit. In this case, a cyberpunk-styled bancho outfit. She appears to be wearing the usual modified school shirt most grunts wear with baggy jeans ending in high-tech looking boots, alongside a set of gloves that seem to be a techy-lookalike of the Elite Four's gloves with Team Star's logo on them. Her round specs have been given a sci-fi looking frame, and the glass is often fogged over and reflective, making it hard to see her traditional yellow, glowing Shadow eyes.

The most striking part of the outfit is her large coat, which sorta looks like the one Eri wears in her official art. The neck is covered in pins and lapels shaped like stars, and the inside of the coat has a super natural shifting appearance that makes it appear as if lines of code are running through it. The back of it is adorned in art representing the 5 Star bosses.

Of course, this is only the human looking form. So, what happens when Penny, predictably, rejects this bully version of herself?

The same thing that happens with all Shadows, of course.

Monstrous Form (Rejected)

Like all other Shadows, Penny's Shadow takes on a symbolic, monster form when it's rejected, with only the barest of resemblance to the original. In her case, Penny's Shadow becomes a large, hulking machine that slouches and leans over the top of the party. The creature has no face, but instead, a cavalcade of screens forming a jagged, sharp smile with no eyes.

Attached to the spindly, slouched machine is a pair of limbs serving as arms. One arm ends in a pair of scales, while the other ends in a hand that is constantly tapping away at a virtual keyboard. The Shadow attacks physically using the scales, while it uses skills with the virtual keyboard. Rather than having a normal lower body, the Shadow ends in a vehicle greatly resembling a Starmobile, a large, roaring machine that's idly rumbling as if Shadow Penny is raring and ready to run someone over the minute an opportunity presents itself.

The lack of eyes and inclusion of a scale is intentionally done to bring the monstrous form an appearance almost resembling the iconic Lady Justice, showing how Penny's Shadow truly believes that their actions were truly just. And on a slightly more silly note, the leaning, slouched body isn't just to make her Shadow seem intimidating in looming over the party, but also to very much make fun of Penny's poor posture.
