History[]

Early History[]

Jenny was born to a hedge fund owner named Ken and an unnamed former model. During Jenny's childhood, Ken made a fortune by betting against the market during the 2008 financial crisis, which meant that he could afford to send Jenny to wealthy private schools.

Since her father was considered to be "new money", unlike most of the well-offs who lived in the top 1% of New York's wealthy society, Jenny was not accepted by the spoiled children of the elites, such as Misty Collins and her clique. Jenny didn't care about this, nor about fitting in, since she found these kids to be entitled and vain, being unafraid to stand up to them and quip barbs at them.

As Jenny entered her teens, Ken had Jenny attend a kidnapping awareness class and bought her a wristwatch containing a hidden blade so that she could be prepared for a potential kidnapping situation. Ken also instilled in Jenny that she couldn't rely on him to buy things for her and that she would need a job to make her own money, which Jenny did by taking a job as a waitress for a catering company that served at high-end events, which allowed her to earn good money since she would often be called in last-minute.

In late 2017, Jenny went through a difficult period when she learned her parents were divorcing due to her mother's extra-marital affair, which culminated in a "moment of despair" that saw her cut her right wrist in a suicide attempt. As she recovered from this ordeal, Jenny began taking Xanax anti-depressants to help her cope, and was required to speak with Monmouth's councilor, Ms Vandermeer, to whom Jenny confided in the reason for her self-harm. Since her watch covered up her scar, Jenny was able to proceed through the next several months of school without anyone learning of her suicide attempt, continuing to trade barbs with Misty, Verity Keeley and Hattie Brewster.

The Secret Runners of New York[]

When Monmouth's new school term began, Jenny listened as Chastity Collins began speaking at the first assembly, quipping at the "false advertising" of Chastity's name. Hattie threatened to punch Jenny in the uterus, which Jenny taunted that the other girl couldn't, and after Hattie quipped about Jenny's waitressing job, a teacher who could hear them ordered the girls to be quiet. When Chastity brought up the missing Becky Taylor, Jenny couldn't resist remarking that Chastity was glad for the vanishing since she wouldn't have gotten the Head Girl role if Becky hadn't disappeared. Though the teacher ordered Jenny to report to their office after the assembly, Jenny still jibed to Misty about working on her resting bitch face, being surprised when Misty didn't rise to the taunt.

After reuniting with her father, Jenny and Ken decided to wait out the gamma cloud with Skye and Dwight at a small cottage belonging to Ken on Bullhead Bay. As the gamma cloud event occurred, Jenny found herself a part of the 0.5% of the human population who survived, thanks to the regimen of anti-depressants she'd been taking giving her brain the defences it needed. To Jenny's dismay, Ken was not so lucky, and so she had to bury her father in the garden, weeping on Skye's shoulder.

A few days later, Dwight convinced Skye and Jenny to travel back to 2040, so that they could avoid the worst of humanity during the next several years. As the girls prepared to enter the portal one last time, Skye asked Jenny if she was ready, which Jenny affirmed that she was before the friends stepped through into the future, being met by the future versions of Red and Dwight upon emerging from the tunnel.
