Righty then, about this SECT...

Seems like an entertaining enough method of occupying time, interacting with people, and building relationships both good and bad between characters. So think I'll finally take part in one of these PCA contests. But a debate has occured, which character to throw in. =/ The choice would seem obvious, eh? But not quite.
At first it was a big debate between Pike, Chris, Penny, and Sugar, but for various reasons mostly revolving around wanting to have characters who could help create some good conflict outside of the ring and an interesting fight it's wound up coming down to Penny and Sugar. But it's so deadlocked I'm not sure how to choose, so I wanna get outside opinions here. Here are some details on the two that make them good competitors against each other in my head:
Penny:
Pros:
-Arrogant, loud, confrontational, eccentric, she could really make for someone who could at least stir up a reaction and interact with others easily. Hell, her personality and attitude has even caused some conflicts and clashes outside of the ring.
-As a character she is running a team and a sorority, trying to pass herself off as high and mighty for her future so it wouldn't be too odd for her to sign up for this just in hopes of her, her team, or her sorority getting some bragging rights.
-She's a pretty good fighter with great defenses, even means of counteracting her species' one big weakness. On top of that she's got some good variety to her attacks that allow her to at least normally damage everything, making her an adaptable tank fighter.
-She's well established and among my characters is definitely the best known... Probably making it easier for anyone I may get partnered up with to write for her.
Cons:
-Overused, i mean seriously.
-Although not entirely standard and able to adapt, her fighting style isn't all that unique usually so fights would likely more rely on dialogue between combatants and eccentric uses of things.
Sugar:
Pros:
-Underused and in need of some more exposure and development. Probably wouldn't hurt for me to finally get a picture done of her that isn't a nude, either.
-Has a more unique fighting style that could make for some interesting fights. Especially with attempts to use it to overcome her multiple weaknesses.
Cons:
-Her move pool is thrown together horribly for focused combat. It's never been her biggest concern and she has no defensive attacks while her offensive attacks are limited in variety. She mostly uses buffs and debuffs. This point is partly counteracted by the fact it could be a fun challenge to figure out ways for her to overcome said weaknesses.
-Her little exposure means people could have trouble writing for her, though this could also be countered somewhat by the fact she's an actress who is constantly putting on a false face and role for fun.
-The way she is makes it hard to figure out out-of-battle interaction that isn't with her fellow actors or at a party.
Well, what do you guys think?
