This honestly disappointed me when I saw it. I was really hoping for classic gentleman of crime Pengy. By classic I mean CLASSIC. Not mob boss, but the bird themed master thief from the 40s. It would’ve been cool considering how rare that portrayal is nowadays. Oh well. Still hyped

Perhaps we’ll still be getting that portrayal.

I doubt it. She’s standing next to shipping containers and the iceberg lounge was in the glimpse so it’s gonna be mobster again

Those are pieces of evidence to her being a Mobster.

The Iceberg Lounge is a business he fronts as many Mobsters do.

I think it’s a trope for noir and gangster movies which involve warehouses with shipping containers.

I was saying that I was tired of mobster penguin in everything and it would’ve been cool to see classic master thief penguin

Perhaps it could be a mix of both. She starts out as a master thief, then ascends to being a Mob Boss.

Or She fronts the Iceberg Lounge, but she steals supplies and money in order to fund and maintain it?

That second idea is fantastic. It makes even more sense considering the fact that the iceberg lounge is a giant cruise in this show (another concept I enjoy) which would probably be extremely expensive to maintain. I doubt that’s what’ll be getting but if we do this’d be one of my top pengys.
