I'm not sure we have any, but MIMIC616 sometimes gets Penny and/or Mimic commissions from artists.
What's up?
It actually happened very quickly, in the blink of a... panel.
Felt bad that no one posted it yet and I didn't know if you looked for yourself, but it's currently on Page 5 of the Penance gallery on ComicVine:

You can see some other scans from that flashback on the same page.
The M Twins acted like The M Twins when they were in the Penance body. They took turns, but it did seem like Nicole (the non-autistic one) was in control more than Claudette, which I think was also the case when they gestalted into the Twins' Monet form. It's the Twins' version of Monet that was able to take Monet's place in the Penance body, using Larry Hama logic and a whole lotta magic, lol. Best not to overthink personality shifts, BUT it's been explained that gestalted forms have different personalities/powers than their base forms (which made the combination of Twins'M and Emplate so much more deadly than either entity separately).
In addition to the 1+1=3 theory (i.e. the whole is greater than the sum of its parts), Monet may've been acting differently because she was traumatized. Peter David has implied as much in issues of X-Factor, I believe.
I'd like to think that what we saw in Generation X was the traumatized true Penance having control of her own body, because Monet lost control at some point, and that after she was freed of Monet and the twins, she became more confident in herself and her friends (Jubilee, in Annual '99, describes the new Penance as a pitbull, while the old Penance was a house cat).
I like how Hsien-ko's claws are kind of like Penance's and you're right, she does have a haunted background, too. My fave Darkstalker is Felicia, though. ;)
