Penelope O’Quinn

Penelope O’Quinn – friend of Suzy and Emily, twin of Quincy

Penelope O’Quinn is the new girl in the club. Penelope provides the comedy relief with the quills she has all over her body. The girls love to put bows and stuff on them. Penelope O’Quinn is a young girl porcupine who just moved to Duckport with her parents Mr. and Mrs. O’Quinn and her brother Quincy. If she were a human girl, she would be about 9 years old. Penelope may have a prickly exterior, but inside, she is thoughtful and warm-hearted. She is a little shy.

She wants to make friends, but her quills keep others from getting close to her. But one day, Suzy Ducken invited Penelope over to her house. Suzy put some beads on Penelope’s quills, just for the fun of it. Penelope loved the effect! Plus, the beads kept Penelope’s quills from poking people. So ever since, Penelope has decorated her quills, and no longer feels so shy around others.

Penelope is described as being “different”, and typically speaks with a soft little voice. But she can also belt out a song or a cheer with amazing gusto. She is also rather avant-garde, and is quite an original in every regard.
