Penny is a dwarf from across the Narrow Sea who befriends Tyrion during his time in slavery. She was also one of the dwarves who performed at Joffrey’s Wedding — hired by the sinister Little Finger to provoke a public quarrel between Tyrion and the young king, thus building the case against Tyrion before Westeros’s most hated monarch choked to death. Her brother, Groat, met an untimely end when some Westerosi sailors mistook him for Tyrion. In the books, Penny proves a lovely foil to Tyrion, with a completely different world view from the cynical Lannister. Her presence also shows him that life as a dwarf would have been much harder if he hadn’t been born into one of the most powerful families in Westeros.
