Penny Peabody (Riverdale)

Penny is a feisty defender who the Southside Serpents keep watch over in case of run-ins with the law. She prefers her clients to pay with favors, not cash, as Jughead discovers when he seeks out her father to help.

Penny was a shrewd lawyer on the Southside, who happened to be allied with the Southside Serpents. However, she did not receive payments from other Serpent members, but instead, she is supportive, which she expected in return should the time come. Penny also contributed to an undercover drug trafficking operation involving the transportation of what she calls "pancake mix" from the south side of Riverdale to Greendale. She later went on to recruit Jughead Jones as her "transportation counselor", aka her drug dealer, until he was exiled to Greendale. Penny later returned to Riverdale after aligning herself with Hiram Lodge and the Ghoulies. It was through this alliance that Penny, Malachai, and the Ghoulies almost killed Jughead. More than three months later, Penny, along with the Ghoulies, have full control of the South Side, which includes the Whyte Wyrm. , from where they carry out an action to produce the drug Jengol-Jengol.
