“Vaan’s friend.”
An orphan like Vaan, Penelo works in the Muthru Bazaar and other various shops in Rabanastre under the guardianship of the prosperous Bangaa merchant Migelo — a friend of her parents. She learned martial arts from her now-deceased older brother, a soldier, and is perfectly capable of handling herself in sticky situations.
As Vaan’s close friend, Penelo plays the role of peacekeeper to his mischief, often chiding his reckless words and behavior.
Though arguably “sisterly” in the way she cares for Vaan, she often hints at a longing for more.

Piggyback
16-year-old Penelo lives in the Lowtown district of Rabanastre like Vaan, and makes her living by running errands for a respected merchant called Migelo. This cheerful girl acts as if she was Vaan’s elder sister, always trying to keep him out of trouble. Despite her youth, she doesn’t shy away from combat thanks to the tricks her brothers taught her.
She is the first person to join Vaan in battle when he visits Giza Plains in search of a Sunstone. After returning to Rabanastre, she leaves the party for a time, and eventually returns as the final permanent member of the group at a later point.
Her max HP and Strength develop pretty poorly, but her other attributes are above average. Her max MP increases so quickly that Ashe only catches up at level 80. Among the weapon types suitable for her, Guns and Maces are especially relevant as the damage they deal doesn’t depend on the wielder’s Strength. However, you will most likely want to employ Penelo as a Magick user,
and not as a pure fighter, so you could instead opt for other weapons — for example, those that improve Magick-related abilities.When Penelo joins the party for the second time, she should have a lot of LP available. Have her acquire Licences that compensate for her weak constitution.
BradyGames
Penelo loves Vaan like a brother. Her own parents, who were lost in the recent war, took in Vaan after his loss and raised him as one of their own. She sees the natural leader in him, even if he doesn’t quite see it himself.
Official Site (TZA)
A young woman who suffered the tragic loss of her family during the war, Penelo is Vaan’s friend since childhood and always looks out for him. She is brave and will not lose sight of herself, even when she gets caught up in a conspiracy that will shake a nation.
SPOILER:
When Vaan achieves his dream of becoming a Sky Pirate and secures his own airship, Penelo joins him as his navigator/partner.
