Darcy Rose Byrnes (born November 4, 1998) is an American and Irish actress, singer and songwriter. [4] She is best known for her roles as Abby Newman on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful , [5] [6] Penny Scavo on Desperate Housewives , [7] [8] Princess Amber on Sofia the First [9] and Elena and the Secret of Avalor , [10] Ikki on The Legend of Korra , [11] [12] and Maricela in Spirit Riding Free .

[15] In May of 2024, Darcy Rose Byrnes began her run as Mary Lane in the 25th Anniversary production of Reefer Madness: The Musical at The Whitley on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. Chris Willman of Variety wrote "Byrnes is a real songbird, and literally wide-eyed in her innocence — part Mary Pickford, part Jeannette McDonald. (Eventually, she’s kind of a hopped-up Bettie Page, too.)" And declared "Byrnes feels born to sell the naivete and forlornness of her character’s “Lonely Pew,” with some soprano heft." [16]
