Penny later then shows up in the final chapter of volume 1 to help Blake and Sun fight against Roman. In volume 2 Penny agrees to help Ruby in her search to find Blake. Then when Ruby tries to explain to Penny what Blake is Penny inquires if Blake is a man. She then exclaims, Oh! the faunus girl and points out that it was pretty obvious that Blake was a faunus. In volume 3 Blake was both horrified and shocked to find out that Penny was a robot and about her sudden death.

They are then reintroduced in volume 7, with Blake saying that seeing Penny again was strangely wholesome. The two are then seen together in volume 8 alongside Nora, Weiss and Ruby trying to break into Ironwood's Base. Blake then jokingly asks Ruby does Penny know more about her semblance then she does. To which Ruby responds that Penny knew she was a faunus before even she did. When Penny crash lands in front of the Schnee Manor Blake helps the others carry her into the house and into Weiss's bedroom.

Later when the virus tries to take control of Penny, Blake is one of the people who tries to hold her down with gamble shroud. Later her and Yang are seen holding her up as they go to the atlas vault. When Penny eventually gets turned into a real girl she runs up to Blake and gives her a big hug. Blake proceeds to happily hug her back. Later in the final episode Blake and Penny are seen fighting Cinder together at some point in the fight.
