My vote is for Rikku,always...But Penelo is pretty cute...
I don't think that Penelo and Rikku are at all alike. I wish people wouldn't pigeonhole Penelo...expecting her to be the next Yuffie, or Selphie, or Rikku.... Although, given the FF series' poor track record when it comes to character originality, I suppose it's understandable that people have these preconceived notions about how the new characters will behave. But, let me assure you that Penelo does not fit the FF archetype for the "younger female" character. She is not "hyper" - but instead is down-to-earth and sensible. Is she "happy"? Well, she's happy sometimes - but she isn't inordinately happy. Her mood isn't in a fixed state of happiness, if that's what you mean. She worries about Vaan...a lot. She's generally a bit of a worrier, actually. A serious, caring worrier.
