The Mores are not known for their forgiveness and Penny’s father was highly criticised , for continuing the tour. Even on his return they treated him coldly. As a result her parents separated and eventually they would reconcile. But that would not be until Penny graduated from Starfleet academy. Penny grew up in Glasgow and was quite a little tomboy. Due to her red hair she was nicknamed the wild red. A great aunt said she was a wild harpie. After grabbing her arm to stop her rushing around trying to hit a cousin. Penny then aged 4 kicked her shin until she let go. The naughty corner was often visited by the wild red. At junior school Penny did well in her lessons. Music and maths being her most successful. However the headmaster was not to happy with her. Especially after she flushed the school bullies( the headmaster's nephew ) head down a toilet. High school & teen years:- Penny attended one of Scotland’s top schools that boasted a long history. With some very notable ex students. She enjoyed Music and Science which Penny excelled at and maths. Her temper and short fuse got her into a few fights. But usually with boys who thought it was cool.

She never really had time for any serious boyfriends.Preferring to work on getting good grades. She did have a few friends who were all girls. But it wasn’t until she discovered that her cousin Stan More was doing well. At his school in Edinburgh. Penny felt that she should be the cleverest. Not some soppy boy.So she began to push herself even harder. Penny did very well and got good grades. She also learnt to play chess. A game Mc Taggard did very well at. But the consistent self-pushing worried her mother. Who forced Penny to take a holiday away from Earth on Bajor for the summer. It was there she learned how to play the flute.

Because she wanted her to get married now that her studies were over. But that side of life never really bothered her. She had friends, yes. But Penny was more interested in her work as a scientist. Especially after just landing a position at the Scottish Museum of Arts and sciences. It was while she was working there. That a non-human scientist team was brought in. To help with a project. She became fascinated with them.When she finished helping the team. Who worked on the project . Penny was hooked on the idea of working with Aliens. So she decided to join Starfleet.
