Pennsylvania's known for being loyal to a fault and never backing down from a challenge, leading him to a lot of unsafe situations and getting hurt quite a lot.

Pennsylvania likes to blame others for his problems and refuses to take the fallout.

Penny can get quite snarky when he wants to piss someone off or get into a fight or argument. Penny's known for loving caustic humor and makes some caustic jokes as well. Despite this, Penny can and has formed strong bonds with others and is quite protective of those bonds.

New York enjoys Penny's company and humor as York can get quite caustic sometimes.

North and South Jersey (Mike and Nicky J. Mitchell)

However, that can't be said about Penny and South. Pennsylvania greatly dislikes South and doesn't miss a chance to tell him that he hates him. The two usually get into screaming matches about it. He hates having his house so close to South and says that his place stinks. In turn, South tells him that he's dirty as he's covered in dust from the mines.

North and South Delaware (Evan and Lennie D. Watson)
The two are close, him and North go out to drink occasionally. Pennsylvania never misses a chance to tell him that he's the better driver and fight about him and South Jersey.
