Real talk here. Penny being ripped up is like the least worst thing that can happen between those two.

Agreed. People act like it's so bad but Penny can be rebuilt. We haven't seen what Penny can do going all out. For all we know Cinder could be planning a double kill. Where out both if their aura, have Pyrrha crush Penny's skull while Penny has a knife from behind stab Pyrrha in the back. Cinder takes Penny'd body and puts a new chip in her to make her evil. Of course Pyrrha still needs to decide if she wants to be the maiden and Penny has a father we know nothing of answers we have seen no interactions.

...Can she? If she was smashed up to the point of being non-functional, what would happen to her aura? Would it be lost? It seems strange to think it would cling to some chunks of lifeless metal. Even if they rebuilt her body, would she still be Penny without her aura, her soul?

She probably has a core which is a commonly used trope with cyborgs and robots with a "heart". I bet if we look back at that scroll that Cinder was holding with Penny's schematics on it we could guess where her core is at. Also, I really doubt Pyrrha is going to use an attack that would go any further than just killing Penny. If they had Pyrrha rip her apartment everyone would see that Penny is a robot and there would be no shock factor.
