Well, I was and still am a Serpent. They put me through college. Law school.
~ Penny Peabody to Jughead Jones.
Blood for blood. An eye for an eye. I want back in with the Serpents and him kicked out. Oh yeah, one last thing. I want his tattoo carved off, and I wanna do it myself with a dirty knife.
~ Penny to FP.

Penny Peabody is a supporting antagonist in the second and third seasons of the CW series Riverdale. She is a lawyer affiliated with the Southside Serpents gang. She becomes the lawyer for the Jones family after F.P. Jones is brought up on criminal charges and facing jail-time.

She was portrayed by Brit Morgan, who also portrayed Leslie Willis in Supergirl.

History[]

Penny Peabody's exact early life is not known, but she was apparently a member of the Southside Serpents, who, in her own words, put her through College and law-school. As such she retains her loyalty to them, and gets payment from them in the form of "favors" rather than cash payouts.

After F.P. Jones is brought up on charges of conspiracy and tampering with evidence in a criminal investigation, he is threatened with jail-time if he does not name names. F.P. refuses to do so, and is thusly incarcerated. Not long after, Jughead desperately goes to Penny Beabody for legal help, which she provides, but she warns Jughead Jones that she will be expecting a favor from him one day in return, the first sign of her not being on the up and up.

Sure enough, Penny later contacts Jughead to call in her favor, also informing him that, after Jughead's father was jumped in the prison shower by vengeful Ghoulies, he is badly hurt and hospitalized. Penny has Jughead transport a crate containing an unknown substance, assuring Jughead that the job is reasonable and that it is a one-time deal. However, when Jughead and Archie transport the crate to the location Penny directed them to successfully, they discover that it is actually a crate of drugs, and that the warehouse in Greendale is the sight of a drug deal. Worse for Jughead, is that Penny has apparently told her partners that Jughead will be her regular delivery-boy from here on out. In other words, it is not a "one time deal". Checking up on his father in prison, Jughead then discovers yet one more piece of bad news: that his father was never jumped or beaten or hospitalized, meaning that Penny lied to him and tricked him into delivering the drugs under false pretenses. He angrily confronts her about this, but she reveals that she has footage of him and Archie transporting the drug crate, and warns him that if he fails to comply with her going forwards, she will send the footage to the police, essentially putting Jughead in her pocket indefinitely.

However, after Jughead alerts his father to Penny's blackmailing him, the latter not only resolves to remain with the Serpents, but Jughead later rallies the younger Serpents to kidnap Penny and take off her Serpent tattoo, symbolically stripping her of her membership within the gang. 

Because of the two week eviction notice given by Sherriff Keller and Mayor McCoy, she returns to Riverdale. Unfortunately for Jughead, Penny returns to the Whyte Wyrm and informs FP of his son's actions against her. But despite his discretions, Penny was willing to help stop the eviction only if Jughead was kicked out of the Southside Serpents and her membership back. However, her last demand was that she carves off his tattoo with a knife, as Jughead did to her.

Near the end of Season 2, Penny returns once again to Riverdale. This time, she calls Jughead and sarcastically said that Riverdale burning to the ground is tragic. She then suggests they discuss it at his hangout by the docks. He is once again blackmailed into showing up, at the cost of Toni Topaz's well-being. Despite being told to come alone, Jughead brought along Cheryl Blossom, who was armed with a bow and arrow. She then forces him and the Serpents to leave Riverdale or there will be a showdown at dawn with the Ghoulies. In the end of the Season 2 finale, she was hired by Hiram Lodge along with Penelope Blossom, Claudius Blossom, Sheriff Minetta and Malachai into an alliance where their main goal is to break up the quartet consisting of Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge and Jughead Jones apart, thus making them more vulnerable.

In the start of Season 3, Penny and the Ghoulies set up a trap for Jughead and the Southside Serpents by stealing their dog named Hot Dog. Despite their plan succeeding, she calls Jughead out for sending spies he's been deploying all summer long, in order to get into their business. Penny then threatens Jughead to give up unless he wants to continue on with riot night, which resulted in him nearly being killed in the process. She then contemplates on going after Betty who recently joined the Serpents, which in turn made Jughead give up his jacket to prevent the Ghoulies from going after the Northside. As Malachai approaches Jughead, Cheryl shoots him with an arrow on his shoulder. When Penny orders the Ghoulies to attack the Serpents, Jughead orders Cheryl to shoot another arrow at Penny. Ultimately, she lets him go but not before telling him that he just made the Northside fair game.

Penny is next seen at Pop's Chock'litt Shoppe where she gets acquainted with Veronica Lodge. Veronica questions her motives, but Penny cuts to the chase by manipulating her into making a deal involving the Ghoulie's protection at a modest price. However, Veronica realizes that the protection would only be against future Ghoulie attacks. Penny retorts that the diner is nice, and that the speakeasy is nicer and that she'd dislike if something bad were to happen for it. She then leaves allowing Veronica to make up her mind.

Penny is next seen tracking Archie down to the Jones's yard in Toledo to claim the bounty on his head. She then tells Archie that finding him wasn't hard and that he left more breadcrumbs than an obese child in a fairy tale. Her attempt to claim the bounty is foiled by Jellybean Jones, Jughead's sister by shooting her with a slingshot. When Penny refuses to put down the knife, she knocks her unconscious. She regains consciousness only to be surrounded by a group of people. Among them is Archie, Jughead, Jellybean, and her mother none other than Gladys Jones. She states that while she isn't surprised that Penny is working with Hiram Lodge, she is however surprised that she did not sell him out, resulting in Gladys suspecting that Hiram must have something on her. Penny declares that while she is not a snitch, Hiram will not stop until he gets Archie. Gladys mentions the fact that she carved off Jughead's Serpent tattoo. She states that it was nothing more than business between herself and Jughead. Gladys retorts that since she is his mother, it is her business as well. She grabs a large hunting knife and tells everyone to go inside. Before everyone leaves, Jughead tells his mom to ask Penny about Gryphons and Gargoyles, and how Hiram is in the equation.

Penny is finally seen when she was sent in by Kurtz, who is from the Gargoyle Gang who is very loyal to the Gargoyle King to battle against Gladys. She is shown to be wearing a pirate eye-patch covering her left eye. Initially, Jughead thought that Penny died but rather than killing her, Gladys cut her eye off. She and Gladys are forced to fight each other. The Gargoyle King wastes no time in choosing their weapons. As they duel, Penny breaks Gladys's arm. Jughead attempts to help her but Kurtz threats him that if he intervenes, then Jellybean will suffer for it. Despite her injury, Gladys overpowers Penny while Jughead prevents his mom from killing her. While Penny is still alive, his mom wasted no time stabbing her in the leg taunting her saying she will have to uncomfortably limp on her way home.

It is unknown what happens to Penny afterwards, but one can theorize she either got arrested offscreen for all her actions by Sheriff Keller or got killed.
