“I hate hate haaaate Penelope’s TiT look but honestly the one image we get of her in the prologue with her OG outfit in that style is super cute. Though it just makes me even more annoyed that they changed it.“

“I’m honestly heartbroken by Penelope’s betrayal, I was hoping for Bentley to pull a big heroic rescue. Why must this game murder ships? ;-; “

I thought I'd skip ahead and work on Episode 2 for a bit (specifically Jail Break), but I've got a question for you, readers.
Is there an official name for the prison at Cotton Mouth Bluff? The one where Tennessee (and later, the boys) gets locked up in? If not, I'd love to hear name suggestions.
If you must know, the mission Jail Break contains a bit of a deviation from canon (aside from Penelope now being on the rescue team). The boys are being held in jail separately. Our three heroes (Penelope, Tennessee, and Carmelita) are going to split up to save them. Penelope's going to free Bentley, Carmelita's going after Sly, and Tennessee's stuck with Murray.
I'm thinking about how they're all going to pull this off, starting with Penelope freeing Bentley. The only catch with Penelope's part is I don't want her just using RC vehicles. She's going to actually fight guards. She'll start by picking a guard's pocket to get the key to Bentley's cell, then... she'll clean house.
Why is she doing it this way? She's trying to show Bentley she's not a helpless damsel. Spoiler alert: It works.
The time has come for Act 3. This covers the final two missions of the episode.
You might have to fill in some of the blanks yourself, but Penelope somehow winds up in a final duel with her impostor, with her signals jammed.
It's during this duel that Robo-Penelope reveals something to the player. The real Penelope designed Le Paradox's blimp. Robo-Penelope did everything else.
With this reveal, we finally understand why Penelope has been behaving so strangely. She's been acting out of guilt. She feels undeserving of the boys' friendship. Even so, she's willing to pull every last bit of her weight to make sure they never get hurt again.
Note: Imagine this playing during the Penelope/Robo-Penelope mirror match.
After defeating her impostor, Penelope, now consumed by an overwhelming amount of guilt, feels the need to confess her treachery to someone. She decides on telling Bentley, knowing full well doing so would break his heart all over again.
Then again, he does deserve to know the truth, does he not?
Cue Penelope's painful confession to Bentley. The only thing she doesn't reveal is her true motive, as she doesn't want to justify anything she or her impostor did.
And that "motive" relating to money, fame, power, and Bentley's potential? All fabricated by her impostor.
After that and a tearful apology, she tries to leave the Cooper Gang forever... only to be stopped. Bentley asks her if any of her treachery was worth it. She says it wasn't, and all she did was lose everyone she cares about.
Guess what? Bentley is satisfied with that answer. He forgives Penelope, believing that being kidnapped, impersonated, and hated by everyone she loves was the perfect punishment for her attempted betrayal. He also refuses to leave her or punish her further, now that she's learned her lesson.
Sly and Murray are spared from learning the truth until after our heroes leave Conquest Island.
Finally, the rest of the Robo-Cooper Gang is destroyed, followed by their creator, Sir Raleigh, getting royally clapped.
Penelope remains reinstated, even after Sly and Murray learn the truth.
As for what happens afterwards... I'm not sure. This is all during Episode 2 of 6.
I want to believe Penelope was kidnapped and impersonated. She still designed the blimp. Her impostor (an evil robot) did everything else. Even her motive was fabricated.
Here's something that could happen in Sly 5.
When the boys (Sly, Bentley, and Murray) eventually find out and take her back, she's going to be a guilt-ridden mess hell-bent on destroying her impostor and her creator for breaking Bentley's heart and making everyone hate her, with several measures of self-loathing for nearly doing the same thing herself.
The reunion scene would need to happen early in the episode in which this story takes place, during the second mission, and no later. That way, the player can get used to her being fully playable for the first time ever before the boss fight.
All three boys, while elated to have Penelope back, will quickly notice that something is seriously wrong with her. They think her impostor did everything, including designing the blimp. When they ask her what's wrong, she refuses to elaborate.
Bentley is especially concerned, but incredibly proud of his reinstated girlfriend for her enduring loyalty.
Cue Penelope pulling her weight several times over during her return episode and defeating her impostor, only to be consumed by all the guilt and confess to none other than Bentley about her treachery by the end. The only thing she doesn't reveal is her motive, saying it doesn't matter because what she did was wrong.
And because I love a good, happy ending, she will be forgiven. She's already spent the entire episode proving herself in spades. As for Sly and Murray's reactions? I'll leave that for you to decide. Would Sly drive himself crazy over not knowing her motive? I think he might.
I realize she will need a very sympathetic motive for this idea to work.
I drew this for my mom as a Christmas gift since we’re both huge Bentley fans!
Well, this was a wild election year. Please excuse me while I continue onward with rewriting Thieves In Time...
penelope didnt punch anyone except for sly bc she doesnt want to be charged after she breaks their teeth
also bentley and her are sickingly in love and give eachother sickingly cute nicknames change my mind guess what you cant
Let's do a meme starring our very own Sly Cooper for a change... This happens during Episode 3, right after Carmelita comes back...
Sly does this after taking advice from Bentley to be more honest with Carmelita. He takes that advice. It backfires. Horribly.
Guess what? Penelope gets to see them fighting. Again. Another peek into that dark future. She does not want her relationship with Bentley to turn into whatever those two are doing. If you've been paying attention, she's just gone through her change of heart by now.
Our heroine then decides to keep her secret of betrayal... Kind of like what Sly tried to do with Carmelita... That's not going to blow up in her face at all!
Sketch pen request for sugarbot-artpost wants Penelope from Sly Cooper 3 Honor Among thieves!
While I was watching Persona walkthrough I think it was 3 or 4 can’t remember. I saw a random student girl sitting down so cute so it just pop up to my mind and I started sketching Penelope how the girl sit except she doesn’t have glasses or being an anthro haha. It sad there is not many fanarts of her. :/ I find her adorable mechanic mouse girl!
Anyways I remembered I have to finish request from people who requested me few months ago. Sorry for the wait sometimes I need ideas and inspirations that fits the characters perfectly.
There was no reason to make Penelope a villain in Thieves in Time. While she was never one of my TOP favorite characters in the series, I liked her addition in Sly 3 and what her skillset could offer to the gang. Plus, it was sick how she took on LeFwee and smacked him around.
Surely there was a better way to bring Penelope back. I don't know what that way is, exactly, but I believe there had to be one.
