Penny Robinson is a main character portrayed by Lacey Chabert in the 1998 film Lost in Space.
This Penny is less innocent and imaginative than the original. She is also 4 years older. In the movie, this interpretation of Penny sneaks out the window (with a rope ladder) to meet her friends a day before the Jupiter 2 launch. This Penny absolutely HATES the idea of going into outer space and wants to remain on Earth. Her specialty is communications and "Video Mechanics" and she is glued to her personal communication device... often making notes with an audio diary on said communication device. Most of what she says is adolescent drivel... like how she'll miss boys and kissing. This Penny is also often seen smarting off to her parents, and considers herself a captive on the Jupiter 2.
Despite this, Penny deeply loves her family and forms a bond with Blarp once she becomes the alien child's owner.
