Penny Pocket

View source

Penelope "Penny" Pocket is one of the 8 main characters in Balamory. She has been confirmed to return in the 2026 revival.

Her main colour in the original is light blue and in the revival red. She is portrayed by Kim Tserkezie.

Looks

Penny has curly dark brown hair. She wears a blue shirt, jacket, trousers, and shoes. Her jacket has white strings. She uses a power wheelchair, since her actress was diagnosed with SMA when she was a child. In the revival she's mostly the same but she now wears a red shirt instead of blue in honor of her close friend Suzie

Role In Series

She is a young woman who uses a wheelchair and has a talent for mathematics. She and her chum Suzie together run the village shop and cafe.
