It appears that Penny's mind is actually based on AI rather than a human consciousness as i previously understood. This would mean that Snowzilla's memory manip ability may not work on her after all as she is not technically a living being with memories. However Snowzilla's powerful attacks and durability would still pose a significant threat to Penny, and it is possible that he could still overpower her with brute force.
It's possible that the quote is referring to Penny's initial creation as a robot with an AI before she was given a human soul, rather than her current state as a cyborg with both mechanical and human components. However the specifics of how her conscioussnes works are not entirely clear, and may be left somewhat vague for narrative purposes.
That's correct in RWBY verse a person's "soul" is a manifestation of their aura, which is described as the manifestation of their spirit or life force. The soul is often depicted as the source of a person's personality and conscioussnes, which is seperate from their physical body and brain. Therefore while Penny's conscioussnes is based on AI, her soul or aura is what gives her a sense of self and humanity
It's possible that Penny's mind and soul are linked, but it ultimately depends om how one defines and interprets those terms. In RWBY its established that the soul is the source of a persons Aura, which is a manifestation of their life force and can be used to perform various abilities. It's also suggested that the soul is connected to a persons personality and identity but its not entirely clear how much of that is directly tied to the soul versus the mind.
That is a good point. Pennys aura may be able to protect her from the memory loss effect of Snowzilla's breath attack. As Aura in RWBY is shown to be able to protect individuals from various forms of harm, including physical attacks and magical powers. However, it is unclear if Penny's aura would be able to fully protect her from the memory loss effect of Snowzilla's breath attack, as the attack is shown to be very powerful and has been effective against other opponents innthe Godzilla verse. Additionally, if Snowzillanis able to physically harm Penny with his attacks it is possible that her Aura could be depleted and render her vulnerable to the memory loss effect.
You're correct that it's glowing particles and not snow that cause the memory loss in Snowzilla's breath attack. And you are also correct that Aura in RWBY doesn't necessarily block all mind-altering effects.
You're right that aura can block possesion, but memory manip is a different type of mind-altering effect. While possesion involves another entity taking control of someone's body. Memory manip involves altering someones memories and perception of events.

Away? Left, right, up, down, Godzilla needs to actively track her with his head to keep the beam firing at her, which works very much against him in this fight due to his larger size, even with equal speed he still has to cover a significantly larger distance than Penny in order to track her with his attacks.
Speed Equalized only equalizes combat and reaction speeds actually, everything else just gets knocked down proportionally. Godzilla only has Supersonic attack speed against someone who can react to lightspeed attacks, she would absolutely be able to get out of the way.
It would be a few meters at best. Godzilla is 118 meters LONG, the beam is the same diameter as his head. For reference:
The AoE is a few meters at best, that is easy to dodge for a smaller, vastly more agile target.
Winter, Raven, Cinder, Amber, and Penny have all made forcefields
You are vastly exaggerating the small beam that Godzilla is shown to use in this incarnation my guy
I mean, from a purely stat-based standpoint they are literally equal in terms of AP and durability, and Penny is physically several thousands of times stronger, but Penny has added durability from her aura and can amp her power with her magic,
She doesnt have any human components, she is 100% mechanical physically
The difference here is that Snow Godzilla's memory hax is based entirely on making contact with the opponent in order to affect their mind, which is different from the mind hax in RWBY which doesnt require this.
1. I see what you mean. Its true that Penny has the advantage of durability through, her aura and the potential to enhance her strength with her magic. However, Snowzilla's attacks are still incredibly powerful, and has a few abilities, such as his breath attack and the ability to teleport, that could potentially give him an edge in the fight.
I mean, Penny has lasers of comparable size and equal power, and this wouldnt be the first time RWBY has seen a gigantic, laser-breathing lizard monster
Ye
Of note, Penny's mechanical mind has allowed her to overcome mind hax before
I mean, so did the cast in volume 8, and Penny is significantly more durable than them
Is his teleportation even useful for a fight? All the scenes ive seen him use it are just him running away from the fight and then coming back way later.
Yes but it also gives Penny a lot of opportunities to find cover and hide if need be, which will help her as she has x-ray vision and can just attack through buildings
1) From what i know, Snowzilla's teleportation has been used both offensively and defensively in his fights. In his battle with Jet Jaguar, Snowzilla used his teleportation to quickly move around the battlefield and dodge Jet Jaguar's attacks. He also used his teleportation to suddenly appear in front of Jet Jaguar and deliver a powerful blast of his ice breath. However its worth noting that teleportation can be limited in a fight if its restricted to that extent.
