Penny Zuckerburg is the sole main female character in Coming Out On Top. She is a roommate of Mark and Ian since they started at Orlin University. She is a cousin of Phil and also has another cousin named Julie whom she introduced Mark prior to the story.

Her nickname is Penster. She is a computer science major whose ambition is to create an app that will make millions, however her apps she developed so far, "Campus Mapper" and "Tanning Spray" were buggy and still in beta stages. That changed when she initiated Brofinder, a casual dating app that is catered for gay men.

She has a blog called 'MyLifeIsAwesomerThanYours', and from there she had explained that her family is a melting pot (as Penny is white, while her cousin Phil is black).

Personality

Penny is a supportive friend to Mark and Ian often teases them with sarcastic remarks. She is also hot-headed and determined, and willing to work long hours coding her app at the computer lab. Often the most sensible one in the group as she offers good advice for her friends.

Even though she is helpful, she often does things with her own personal agenda, such as taking Mark out to a gay bar to check out the bathroom and going to the fundraiser to mingle with successful people.

Penny has short purple hair with hair pins at the side. She is often seen wearing a white hoodie. In formal occasions she wears a yellow dress with a necklace.

Ian

Jed

Before Mark goes upstairs to confront Jed for making noises on Tuesday nights, Penny went to complain to him and planned to give him a negative rating.
