Stardew Valley Penny is a shy lady who adores a good book. She lives in a little trailer by the river with her mom, Pam, and can often be found doing chores or tutoring children in the museum. Her main ambition in life is to settle down and raise a family, and she is one of the twelve available marriage candidates in the game. Our guide details her heart events and the best gifts for her, so you can earn her friendship… or her hand in marriage.

Many players find joy in building relationships with her, making their gameplay experience richer and more rewarding. Whether you're looking to enhance your friendship or pursue a romantic relationship, understanding her likes and dislikes is crucial.
We also have handy Stardew Valley Leah, Stardew Valley Haley, and Stardew Valley Emily guides, along with many more. Or if you want a more general guide to help you on your journey, we have Stardew Valley fish and Stardew Valley co-op guides too.
