Jenny Nowhere: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:23, 8 June 2024

Jenny Nowhere, sometimes dubbed the Anti-Shifter or the Nemesis, was Jenny Everywhere's antithesis and one of her most persistent foes throughout the Multiverse; though not as ubiquitous as Everywhere, Nowhere existed in a wide array of universes, and shared Jenny's ability to shift in body or in mind from one to the next — although unlike her benevolent counterpart's, all of Jenny Nowhere's selves tended to have distinct styles and personalities with no particular unifying trait aside from her evil.

The two Jennies often considered each other “sisters”, and were literal siblings in some incarnations; however, other incarnations of Nowhere were corrupted incarnations of Everywhere, or unrelated to her by blood (to the point that some versions of Nowhere had a romantic interest in Everywhere). Additionally, there existed at least one “strain” of malevolent shifters in the Multiverse, using the name “Jenny Nowhere”, who were in actuality originally incarnations of Jenny Everywhere, but had lost their link to the hive mind and become agents of evil. Their relationship to the independently-telepathic Jenny Nowheres documented in other accounts is unclear.

Description

Physical appearance

Jenny Nowhere's physical appearance was more variable than Jenny Everywhere's. There were two main trends; some versions of Nowhere were taller than Jenny Everywhere and very conventionally attractive, almost statuesque. They tended to have blond hair. (COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover, Truth Serum, etc.; PROSE: Nowhere)

Meanwhile, others looked identical to their corresponding Jenny Everywhere, albeit with a different costume or color scheme; for example, one version of Nowhere was almost a negative image of her Everywhere, with white hair instead of black, a blue superhero outfit instead of red, and strange “inverted” eyes, with white pupils set in black eyeballs. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) One Nowhere was wholly identical to her Everywhere to the point of being easily able to impersonate her; she even had a tattoo on her lower back (COMIC: Tales To Behold) to match Everywhere's. (COMIC: Ghost Story)

Other Nowheres still had similar physical features to Jenny Everywhere, though wearing mostly black outfits, but could be recognised at a glance by their chalk-white skin. (PROSE: Psychopomp, COMIC: Jenny Nowhere Wearing Makeup To Look Like Jenny Everywhere, etc.)

However, there were also Nowheres who did not fit into any of these categories, such as the one who dueled a college-age Jenny Everywhere with wooden swords, who looked noticeably different from Everywhere but dressed in a similar eccentric style and dyed her hair dark red. (VIDEO: Mitigating Circumstances)

Although not universal, many versions of Jenny Nowhere favoured mostly-black outfits. (COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover, Truth Serum, etc.; PROSE: Nowhere, This Might Happen Someday) Some incarnations favoured such distinctive outfits as a black cape, boots, gloves, skirt and tank-top, (COMIC: Truth Serum, etc.) or a tight-fitting, full-body black leather outfit. (COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover, PROSE: Parallax, This Might Happen Someday) Some Nowheres also wore a skull-shaped hair-clip, a dark counterpart to the flower hair-clip occasionally worn by Everywhere. (COMIC: That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You, Jenny Nowhere Is Sus, She's The Impostor!)

Personality

In contrast to Jenny Everywhere's ready smile and optimistic attitude, Jenny Nowhere was often grim and preoccupied, (COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover) to the point of being downright unnerving to normal people, in combination with her unearthly nature. (PROSE: Nowhere) However, she was quite capable of villainous glee when a scheme of hers went as planned. (COMIC: Truth Serum) In one universe, Jenny Everywhere described Nowhere as "kinda like [Everywhere] but[...] evil. Probably.". (COMIC: The Curse of a Fairly Normal Halloween) She did not like sunlight. (PROSE: Century Smith and the Time Terror)

Although variable from one incarnation to another, Jenny Nowhere's motivations often had more to do with revenge on Jenny Everywhere, or otherwise hurting her, than any independent agenda. (PROSE: Nowhere) Nowhere once told Jenny Anywhere, for whom she had little respect, that she had no wish to destroy Jenny Everywhere completely, believing that her existence would have no meaning without the other Jenny to stand against. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere) Indeed, at least one incarnation of Nowhere harboured romantic feelings for Everywhere, (COMIC: That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You) and another was a “friendly rival” to the other Jenny, holding no actual animus against her but merely enjoying the ruthless competition that existed between them to mutual benefit. (PROSE: This Might Happen Someday) Despite her antisocial nature, she was known to sometimes team up with, or act on behalf of, other evil-doers. (COMIC: Truth Serum, The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) The set of Jenny Nowheres who were “divergent Everywheres” thought themselves to be benevolent, and would do their best not to do lasting harm to Jenny Everywhere or her friends, at least by their definition of ‘harm’. (PROSE: Parallax)

Some incarnations of Nowhere were capable of a flawless impersonation of their counterpart Everywhere, including for extended periods of time, (COMIC: Tales To Behold, etc.) or, more generally, were talented manipulators able to play on others' desires and biases to get them to do what Nowhere wanted. (COMIC: Battle of Britain) However, others found it harder to keep their evil tendencies in check, even when it would benefit them. (COMIC: Jenny Nowhere Dooming Herself To Be With Her Enemy.)

Powers & abilities

Jenny Nowhere's abilities mirrored Jenny's: she was a shifter, capable of shifting items in and out of reality from other dimensions and travelling between universes herself. As with Jenny Everywhere, not all incarnations of Jenny Nowhere were automatically aware of their multidimensional nature, even after they'd learned to harness the power of shifting as related to items other than themselves. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles) However, it was anomalous for a Nowhere not to be able to patch into the psychic network of her other incarnations, so long as she was aware of its existence. (PROSE: Century Smith and the Time Terror) Nowhere was skilled at physical combat. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)

Biography

Origins

At least one version of Jenny Everywhere remembered Jenny Nowhere as her older sister, for whose approval the younger Jenny had always yearned even though the older girl was arrogant and selfish. They had grown up together until Jenny Everywhere was at least six years old. (PROSE: Memories of Nowhere)

However, this relationship was not reflected in all universes where echoes of one or the other Jenny existed. In one universe, for example, Jenny did have a sister called Julie, and another even younger one called Jordan, but the local incarnation of Jenny Nowhere was unrelated to either. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)

According to one account, there were many Nowheres with various names and agenda across the Multiverse, who all adopted names of the form "[First Name] Nowhere". Known for being “cautious, curious and stubborn”, the Nowheres, who had chaotic counterparts in the form of the Anywheres, aimed to streamline and stabilise the Multiverse, including by destroying entire timelines if need be. It is unclear what relationship Jenny Nowhere could be said to bear to these Nowheres. (GAME: The Everywheres)

Yet another cluster of Jenny Nowheres were not actually proper incarnations of the wider Jenny Nowhere (sharing no telepathic link to one another or other Nowheres), but instead, were incarnations of Jenny Everywhere who had been artificially cut off from the Everywhere psychic network and become disillusioned with the metaphysical ethics of Jenny Everywhere's hyper-dimensional nature. They believed, in essence, that individual Jennies did not have free will; they saw themselves as liberated and sought to “pass on” this “gift” to other incarnations of Jenny Everywhere by any means necessary, whether they liked it or not. (PROSE: Parallax)

In Right-On By The Sea

A scowling Jenny Nowhere watches Jenny Everywhere from afar. (COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover)

One incarnation of Jenny Nowhere was a grim-looking woman in a form-fitting leather catsuit. She smoked and had short blonde hair. She arrived in Right-On By The Sea under heavy rain one night, with evidently nefarious intent, shadowing Jenny Everywhere and Clea even as the two ironically discussed how they wished things would quiet down around them for a while now that their adventure fighting off Apollo Coffee was done. (COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover) Jenny ultimately triumphed over Nowhere, as she would in many other incarnations. Grandmaster Awndisk recalled Nowhere's appearance in Right-On By The Sea when mentioning how Jenny had “borne true duality”. Curiously, his image of this incarnation of Nowhere depicted her with black hair. (COMIC: The Legend of Jenny Everywhere)

Divergent Everywheres

The "original Jenny Nowhere"

See main article: Jenny Nowhere 2 (Parallax)

One Jenny Nowhere was originally an incarnation of Jenny Everywhere until a freak accident cut her off from the Jenny Everywhere psychic network. Suddenly free from the constant influence and watch of the billions of other Jennies, she came to believe that she had only now gained free will, with all the other incarnations of Jenny living in a kind of mindless slavery, mere puppets of a hyper-dimensional entity. She reverse-engineered her injury and worked out how to replicate its effects through controlled brain surgery, and began finding other Jenny Everywheres in other worlds. Each of them in turn became a Jenny Nowhere with similar convictions to the original and spread out further to unmake Everywheres herself. (PROSE: Parallax)

Killed by a dinosaur

See main article: Jenny Nowhere 1 (Parallax)

One of these Jenny Nowheres, an unknown amount of links down the “chain of succession”, was physically identical to the Jenny who was friends with Kim in the Parallax Universe, but wore tight, black leather clothing. She was eventually killed while trying to turn the Parallax Jenny into another Nowhere. (PROSE: Parallax)

Duel with Jenny

Jenny Nowhere about to duel her benevolent counterpart. (VIDEO: Mitigating Circumstances)

In one universe, Jenny Nowhere had long reddish hair, and she wre a light blue scarf and green-tinted goggles. She once fought Jenny Everywhere in a duel of wooden swords which both took extremely seriously, and in which Nowhere somehow managed to indeed injure Jenny sufficiently that she had to ask for an extension on a university essay that she had due to Professor Alexander, although Everywhere still evidently emerged the victor. (VIDEO: Mitigating Circumstances)

In Reality Z-25 31-H

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (Reality Z-25 31-H)

One version of Jenny Nowhere looked identical to the Jenny Everywhere often associated with Reality Z-25 31-H. After arriving in this reality, she was captured by Doctor Brain and briefly used as a power source for an interdimensional portal; after Captain Evening rescued her, she claimed to be Jenny Everywhere, and joined his superhero team the Odds for some time, (COMIC: For Whom The Toll Bells) though she also began to build up an alternative identity as the supervillain “Evil Cloak” to advance her true plans. (COMIC: Following Up, etc.) After revealing herself to the Odds, she was ultimately eaten by the demon Gazoom. (COMIC: Meanwhile, In Queens)

The Woman Without a Shadow

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (Nowhere)

One version of Jenny Nowhere was a stern, joyless woman of statuesque appearance with long blond hair; she wore a black suit and, most strikingly, a gas mask. She cast no shadow and once stated that she had “lost” her name “a long time ago”. On one occasion, she resurfaced in the multiverse and, after frightening a male associate of Jenny Everywhere, told him to go warn her that Nowhere was back and “it was her turn”. (PROSE: Nowhere)

Agent of Chaos

The newly-formed Jenny Nowhere of one universe questions the original article about Shifting. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)

In one universe, Jenny Nowhere was originally a Vertginite, a member of an alien race of doppelgänger-like creatures. She was sent to Westbrook by Chaos in the form of a crystal orb, and took on a negative version of the local Jenny Everywhere's appearance, also acquiring a duplicate of her shifting powers in the process and taking on the name of “Jenny Nowhere”. Her first fight with Jenny Everywhere didn't go well, as she couldn't control her powers very well yet and had no knowledge of other Jenny Nowheres; Jenny Everywhere forced her to admit that she'd been sent by Chaos and sent her running for her life. (COMIC: The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)

Team-up with Ketchum

Jenny Nowhere gloating over Jenny Everywhere. (COMIC: Truth Serum)

One version of Jenny Nowhere, who had pale eyes, long blonde hair, and the classic black outfit, teamed up with evil chemist Caleb Ketchum as part of some scheme which involved tracking down a rabbi in hiding. They managed to capture Jenny Everywhere and feed her truth serum, but found, to their disappointment, that she didn't actually know the answers to their questions. (COMIC: Truth Serum)

EMO Jenny

Jenny Nowhere looking for something better to do. (COMIC: After the Party)

One incarnation of Jenny Nowhere resembled a more cynical doppelgänger of her universe's Jenny Everywhere, with a darker palette and a glum attitude. When an in-universe fan of the webcomic Jenny existed in asked when they would meet Jenny Nowhere, Nowhere replied by asking Everywhere to "leave [her] out of this." (COMIC: Road to Nowhere)

In Jenny's mind

The blue-eyed Jenny Nowhere. (COMIC: The Min of Jenny Nowhere)

One version of Jenny Nowhere looked somewhat similar to the agent of Chaos faced by the Westbrook Jenny Everywhere, with inhuman eyes, blond hair and a hoodie. Her eyes were solid blue instead of black with white pupils, however. This Nowhere was apparently able to interfere with the psychic network of Everywheres, being present in an attempt to depict the complexities of Jenny Everywhere's mind; she looked sulky, crossing her arms and stating simply “Nowhere”. (COMIC: The Mind of Jenny Everywhere)

Betraying Century Smith

“Smith's friend” shortly before she revealed herself to Century Smith. (PROSE: Century Smith and the Time Terror)

One universe's incarnation of Jenny Nowhere was born without a psychic connection to the network of her other selves' minds, though she was still aware of who she was, and had the means of travelling across dimensions. She was “pale, with dark hair and thin features”; she sounded “reserved, almost monotone” and, becoming a dimensional scientist in the hope of fixing her condition, she took to wearing an increasingly ragged white labcoat. She began building a machine that could split her across the Multiverse, hopefully merging her into the wider Jenny Nowhere “network”. However, it needed tremendous amounts of paradox energy to power itself up.

This Nowhere met Century Smith during his first travels through the Multiverse. Recognising him as an agent of the Consistency Imperium, she hoped he would be able to lead her to useful space-time anomalies. Thus, she convinced him that she was his friend. Their deceitful friendship lasted for years. She also visited and studied the planet Sanguivor, hoping to learn from its “particular transdimensional properties”.

Smith contacted her, setting her a date at the Interdimensional Tavern, in the hope that she could help with his new friend Briar's vampirism. She accompanied the two to the Interdimensional Library to seek a cure, but then managed to convince them to head to her own house in her home universe. There, she strapped Briar in her machine and prepared to absorb the energy from her mysteriously-split timeline. However, Briar managed to push her out of the way and was zapped instead; the machine thus ironically caused the very divide in her timeline whose potential Nowhere had used to power it. The paradox caused a dangerous feedback that caused the machine to explode. When the dust cleared, Nowhere had vanished, though Century Smith guessed that she had simply shifted to safety. (PROSE: Century Smith and the Time Terror)

Romance with Everywhere

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You)

One universe's incarnation of Nowhere had chalk-white skin and short black hair. Her eyes were peculiar, with the shape or presence of her pupils seemingly altering from day to day based on her mood. (COMIC: Death of Jenny Everywhere's Toaster, Earthworm Jim And Psy-Crow Cosplay By Jenny Everywhere And Jenny Nowhere, etc.)

She went barefoot and wore a black sleeveless shirt and shorts, as well as a flowing black scarf and dark gray goggles of her own. She had a skull-shaped hair clip, a large white skull print on the front of her T-shirt, and skull-shaped badges (matching her Jenny Everywhere's flower badges) on her T-shirt, scarf, and shorts. (COMIC: That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You, Death of Jenny Everywhere's Toaster, etc.)

This version of Nowhere was obsessively in love with Jenny Everywhere, who did not return her feelings. (COMIC: That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You)

Defeated by Anywhere

Shortly after Jenny Everywhere disappeared across the Multiverse, one dour incarnation of Nowhere was dueled and defeated in one universe by Jenny Anywhere, who tied her down with shift-preventing chains. Anywhere then interrogated Nowhere, trying to get her to tell Anywhere how to bring Everywhere back. However, Nowhere managed to make Anywhere realise that she was not actually responsible, being neither capable or interested in wiping Jenny Everywhere from reality completely. She provisionally left Nowhere tied up until Everywhere could be found, promising to go back for her if and when Jenny Everywhere did turn up again, or it otherwise became apparent that Nowhere hadn't been responsible. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)

As an Impostor

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (Jenny Nowhere Is Sus, She's The Impostor!)

Jenny Nowhere as an Impostor. (COMIC: Jenny Nowhere Is Sus, She's The Impostor!)

In one universe, Jenny Nowhere was a member of a futuristic, spacesuit-wearing crew; her spacesuit was black, with a skull motif. Also in the crew Jenny Anywhere and Jenny Everywhere. Unbeknownst to Everywhere and Somewhere, however, Nowhere was actually a murderous Impostor. After a body was found near some vents, the two real Crewmates began investigating, deducing that the Impostor must be someone from electric; however, returning to the scene of the crime, they seemed unaware that Nowhere was lurking in the shadows in person, dagger in hand. (COMIC: Jenny Nowhere Is Sus, She's The Impostor!)

Crashing Everywhere's birthday party

A version of Jenny Nowhere once crashed a birthday party organised by a Jenny Everywhere in a “place” created by Jenny Everywhere herself. She had a convoluted plan and “some new tricks”, with Everywhere later admitting that her gambit could have worked if she'd caught Jenny Everywhere alone. However, her many guests at the birthday party, which included wizards, kaiju, gods, and “things beyond gods”, fought back and saved the day. (PROSE: Fragment: Nowhere Plan)

In the 38167th Universe

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (38167th Universe)

The 38167th Universe's version of Jenny Nowhere was a woman with waist-length blond hair. She was orginally the (adopted) sister of the local Jenny Everywhere, who played an unfortunate part in turning her innocent sister into the monstrous Nowhere, which was the source of their enmity. (PROSE: Family Business)

Jennifer Nolan

In one universe, “Jenny Nowhere” existed as a fictional character alongside Jenny Everywhere. By 3001, there also existed a woman named Jennifer “Jenny” Nolan. She was a pale, short-haired blonde who often wore a black jumpsuit. Making use of the wide range of available, safe body-modification options in her native era, she had modified her eyes to be pitch-black and ringed with stars. Notably, “Jennifer Nolan” may only have been a localisation to give an equivalent name by 21st century standards to how her actual, potentially more exotic-seeming name might have come across in her native society — such as “Jenifa Luĉjo”.

Either way, she was a self-confessed adrenaline junkie, often going on adventures in virtual worlds with her friend Jenny Evans (with whom she shared a home “overlooking the rings of Saturn”), acting as her rival. She was highly driven during their games, slipping easily into the part of a ruthless villain. The other Jenny was a fan of Jenny Everywhere fiction, and completed a 25-year effort to read or otherwise experience all surviving Jenny Everywhere fiction on August 13th, 3001, which was close to her birthday. Jennifer gifted her a pair of goggles and a scarf to mark the occasion. This prompted both girls to realise that they could, by this point, consider themselves the closest thing their world had to proper incarnations of Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Nowhere, with knowledge of all Jenny Everywhere fiction acting as Jenny's way of tapping into her counterparts' experiences. Although neither took the idea wholly seriously, they soon departed for another virtual adventure and it may or may not have prompted Jenny to discover right there and then that she had real shifting powers. (PROSE: This Might Happen Someday)

In Reality 18

When the Jenny Everywhere of Reality 18 was transported by the Key of Enecloog to a hellish projection of all her dark thoughts, the scene was overseen by a looming Jenny Nowhere, “not quite real, watching from overhead like the Devil himself”. (PROSE: The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere)

On Mystepolia

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (775th Universe)

When the Interdimensional Ham Radio allowed “interdimensional busybodies” to ask questions to the Laura Drake and Jenny of one universe, who lived on the island of Mystepolia, one of the questions concerned Jenny Nowhere, asking if “when she showed up”, she would have a moth motif to match the main Jenny's mysterious association with butterflies. Jenny was merely confused by the question and moved on. (COMIC: The Demon and the Butterfly: Special Q&A)

In the 925th Universe

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (925th Universe)

A version of Jenny Somewhere existed in the 925th Universe and was present at the Dibbsy Store on December 24th, 2022 alongside Jenny Everywhere, Jenny Somewhere, Laura Drake and a few other notable individuals. (PROSE: A Very Jenny Over-There Christmas)

Miss Erehwon

See main article: Miss Erehwon

Also active in the 925th Universe, but apparently not the person seen at the Dibbsy store, was a woman who called herself “Miss Erehwon”. (PROSE: Set Up to Blow Up) She acquired a TARDIS in the 89067986779811167562948736197891674912223184th Universe, having intended to steal the Doctor's TARDIS only to accidentally steal the ship which the Doctor narrowly avoided stealing, and which had been sabotaged by the Great Intelligence. (PROSE: How to Steal Timeships & To Influence Time Lords)

At some point, she became aware of Dynamite Thor, and began occasionally dropping in on him and trying to point his destructive superheroics at her enemies, chiefly versions of Jenny Everywhere. One day, she appeared unexpectedly, gave him a flimsy story and a lot of explosives, then sent him off to the Kablamazon offices in search of a villain, in the hopes that Thor would not recognize Jenny Everywhere until it was too late. (PROSE: Set Up to Blow Up)

Dastardly sorceress

See main article: Jenny Nowhere 2 (To Hell With Good Intentions)

A dastardly sorceress, opposed to Ser Gennever, resided the keep of Nowhere. She had gathered seven gems for an unknown, but probably nefarious purpose. (PROSE: To Hell With Good Intentions)

Lady Erenow

See main article: Lady Calpernia Erenow

Reality 45's version of Jenny Nowhere resided in Castle Erenow under the pseudonym Lady Calpernia Evernow, which she had inherited from Carmilla la Fanu. Concordat Agent Michael Béliveau noted that she smiled as though she was in on a private joke, and suspected that she had acquired a love of anagrams from the vampire. She had a romantic relationship with her universe's Jenny, who she described as “halfway to Nowhere” due to her weakening connection to the mental link. She was aware that the Concordat was monitoring Jenny Everywhere's activities, and taunted them with a wink before destroying their Grigori. (PROSE: To Hell With Good Intentions)

As a Halloween costume

See main article: Jenny Nowhere (Halloween Preparations)

Jenny Everywhere, dressed as Jenny Nowhere, explains her costume to Peter Griffin. (COMIC: The Curse of a Fairly Normal Halloween)

In one universe, the resident Jenny Everywhere dressed as Jenny Nowhere for Halloween one year, describing her as "kinda like [Everywhere] but[...] evil. Probably.". (COMIC: The Curse of a Fairly Normal Halloween) This occurred after she found a black wig while staying at 31 Spooner Street. (COMIC: Halloween Preparations)

Behind the scenes

Genesis

After making her debut as a twist ending to COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover, Jenny Nowhere was defined (as it were) by Nelson Evergreen on Episode #20 of the Webcomic Beacon podcast as “a blank slate. How she looks, how she dresses, her character quirks, what her agenda might be – it’s all up to the individual who wants to do something with the name. Anyone can create their own Jenny Nowhere from the ground up.”^[1] He explained:

We’d imagine that – whatever she is – she functions in some way as a “prime antagonist” to Jenny Everywhere, like you say. Yin to the yang, and that. Which can work in all sorts of ways. I like the idea that in each universe there’s a Jenny Everywhere who’s recognizably Jenny Everywhere in name, character and appearance… and somewhere in each universe there’s a Jenny Nowhere who’s recognizably Jenny Nowhere in name only.

Maybe creators should be encouraged to come up with a Jenny Nowhere that actively avoids comparisons with existing versions of the character… to go out on a limb and make up something totally unique.

—Nelson Evergreen

Upon creating their own version of Jenny Nowhere, Jeanne McClure noted that they “were fine” with people using that design, although they did also enjoy seeing other people's takes.^[2]

Artist "Lady Kraken" later created her own version of the character, giving the following description:

Jenny Nowhere is also known as "The Shifter Slayer", or simply "Nowhere". She is the sworn enemy of Jenny Everywhere, and seeks to kill any and all Shifters that live throughout the many alternate universes. She has the same Shifter powers as Everywhere, but she uses them in a far more sinister manner. She's a public domain character who can be used by anyone, so long as you include this paragraph.

-Tracking down the aforementioned “Kim's friend” Jenny to a bar in her home universe, Nowhere put something in Everywhere's beer to induce nausea in her.

With Kim proving a physical threat Nowhere shifted away, only for Everywhere to chase her through several landscapes.
-Realising sunlight was Kim's weakness and Kim was Jenny's, Nowhere shifted to the [[Giza]] desert at high noon, forcing Everywhere to shift Kim somewhere shady instead of continuing to try to capture Nowhere. However, Nowhere did not keep the upper hand for long; foolishly choosing to pursue Everywhere in turn to the cool jungle she had chosen as the place to take Kim, she realised too late that it was a ''prehistoric'' jungle and was mauled to death by a dinosaur.

 This version of Nowhere was obsessively in love with Jenny Everywhere, who did not return her feelings. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You (comic story)|That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You]]'')
-==== Declaring herself ====
+===Defeated by Anywhere===
-When she first declared to Everywhere that though her powers “may give [her] the ability to run wherever and whenever”, “the one thing [which she couldn't] outrun” was Nowhere's love, Everywhere was baffled at this statement, although it was far from obvious that she did ''not'' reciprocate. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You (comic story)|That Feeling When Your Antagonist Is Gay For You]]'') The two cautiously started dating, and became embroiled in an adventure together. At one point, Everywhere told Nowhere that they could get through “this” so long as Nowhere “didn't do anything”. Nowhere claimed she wasn't going to do anything, but blatantly appeared to be considering literally stabbing Everywhere in the back. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Nowhere Dooming Herself To Be With Her Enemy. (comic story)|Jenny Nowhere Dooming Herself To Be With Her Enemy.]]'')
-==== Growing enmity with Everywhere ====
-At some point, this Nowhere used a mysterious machine to trap Jenny Everywhere in [[Universe A (Jenny Everywhere and the Very Normal Story)|a universe]] where she couldn't use any of her shifting powers, or even remember anything about the other universes she'd visited in the past, though she did recall the existence of such universes. Also trapped were [[Jenny Everywhere's parents (Jenny Everywhere and the Very Normal Story)|versions of Everywhere's parents]] from [[Universe B (Jenny Everywhere and the Very Normal Story)|another universe]], and the incarnations of [[Jimmy Wherever#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jimmy Wherever]], [[Jenny Anywhere#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jenny Anywhere]], [[Jenny Somewhere#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jenny Somewhere]] and [[Jimmy Anytime#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jimmy Anytime]] that these Jennies were familiar with.
-After figuring out what had happened, Jenny was confronted by Nowhere, who once more tried to get her to "confess" that she loved Nowhere back. With Jenny refusing and all of her friends standing with her against Nowhere, the villainess admitted defeat and switched off the machine that cancelled the shifters' abilities, allowing them all to move on to new adventures. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Very Normal Story (novel)|Jenny Everywhere and the Very Normal Story]]'')
-At some later point, Nowhere surprised Everywhere by trying to cover her bleached-white skin with make-up to look more like Everywhere. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Nowhere Wearing Makeup To Look Like Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|Jenny Nowhere Wearing Makeup To Look Like Jenny Everywhere]]'') When Everywhere cosplayed as [[Earthworm Jim]], Nowhere dressed up as Jim's nemesis [[Psy-Crow]], with whom Jim was sometimes shipped; Everywhere was unimpressed and, staying in-character, told Nowhere to “eat dirt”. To her surprise, Nowhere seemed prepared to comply. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Earthworm Jim And Psy-Crow Cosplay By Jenny Everywhere And Jenny Nowhere (comic story)|Earthworm Jim And Psy-Crow Cosplay By Jenny Everywhere And Jenny Nowhere]]'')
-==== The Jimmy plot ====
-After discovering that all the [[Jimmy Anytime]]s and [[Jimmy Wherever]]s in the [[Multiverse]] had somehow lost their interdimensional connection, Everywhere and Anywhere came to the conclusion that this must be Nowhere's doing, with Nowhere having somehow turned Anytime's time-travel powers against him to cancel out the two Jimmies' existence (as interdimensional beings) altogether. Jenny Everywhere shifted herself and Anywhere to Nowhere's [[Universe B (Wherever at Anytime)|current location]], where they discovered that she had managed to abduct the “original” Wherever and Anytime and regressed them to before Anytime realised he was not Jimmy Wherever. Anywhere managed to liberate them, however, and, after one of the two Jimmies attacked the other (outing himself as Anytime), she grabbed onto him and triggered his own time-travel powers to bring him and Wherever back in time to where they'd been taken from, fixing the timeline. Everywhere was left pondering what lengths Nowhere might go to next. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wherever at Anytime (novel)|Wherever at Anytime]]'')

In it, Nowhere lost her memories after being hit on the head with a mysterious glowing rock in the middle of a fight with Everywhere. Everywhere decided not to tell the amnesiac Nowhere that they were enemies, instead claiming that they were friends, and the two soon began kissing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Nowho?

When Jenny called her bluff, Nowhere went through with it, to Jenny's horror. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Death of Jenny Everywhere's Toaster (comic story)|Death of Jenny Everywhere's Toaster]]'')
-==== The Nowhere Spiral ====
-One one occasion, [[Jenny Everywhere#Romanced by Nowhere|Jenny Everywhere]] apparently sent Nowhere to [[Hell]]. However, she returned, surprising Jenny as the Shifter was “frolicking through a field of alien flowers” in [[Universe A (Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)|one universe]]. They got to fighting, but after getting caught off-guard by her rival first punch, Nowhere started to spiral increasingly out of control as she loudly insisted that she wasn't getting weaker, only to keep taking hit after hit without putting up any effective defence.
-A little while later, after a victorious Jenny has rejoined her friends — including versions of [[Jimmy Wherever#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jimmy Wherever]], [[Michael Wherever#Witness to the Everywhere-Nowhere rivalry|Michael Wherever]] and [[Kim#Witness to the Everywhere-Nowhere rivalry|Kim]] — Nowhere walked up to her again, demanding a rematch and insisting she wouldn't lose so easily this time. However, in the face of Everywhere and her friends' casual skepticism about her ability to ever win against the other Everywhere, Nowhere went to pieces again, collapsing to the ground (and losing her skirt) from a single kick.
-While a victorious Everywhere kissed Wherever and the friend group [[shift]]ed to [[Universe B (Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)|another universe]] to celebrate, Nowhere gathered her wits and hit upon the idea of allying with Jenny's ex [[Laura Drake#Team-up with Nowhere|Laura]], who, having watched the fight from a distance, soon walked up to Nowhere to propose the same idea. The two of them travelled to Laura's laboratory, with Nowhere admiring what Laura had done with the place. Everywhere submitstedsurprisingly easily to Nowhere on their third encounter, and Nowhere brought her to Laura's lab as agreed. There, a disagreement soon broke out between the two villains when Nowhere made it clear that she'd want Jenny all to herself; Laura pulled out a steampunk gun she'd recently invented, but Jenny Everywhere kicked the gun, breaking it, before Laura could actually use it, revealing in the process that she had never been incapacitated and was just playing along to figure out what Nowhere was up to. They had yet another fight, with Jenny easily incapacitating both Laura and Nowhere. When Nowhere broke down crying, however, Everywhere helped her up, hugging her and comforting her; they even briefly kissed before Everywhere pulled away and skipped off, daring Nowhere to chase her.
-Nowhere soon caught up to Everywhere and, in victorious glee, demanded that the other shifter agree to love her and only her. Jenny called her out on starting to sound evil and domineering again; at this point, Laura caught up with the two Jennies and, agreeing with Everywhere's judgment, pointed her repaired steampunk gun at Nowhere. Imitating Everywhere's earlier trick, Nowhere pretended to submit to Laura only to suddenly start struggling again, destroying the gun a second time. As Nowhere shouted at Laura in anger, however, Laura noticed that Nowhere's eyes had changed, becoming spirals. Nowhere's bravado gave out and she started to panic, asking Everywhere with feverish obsession if Everywhere would love her if Nowhere agreed to give up her evil ways. Though she didn't mean to harm Everywhere, her shaking Everywhere by the shoulders caused the other girl to hit her head against a rock and she fell unconscious.
-Initially unsure of what to do, Nowhere dragged the unconscious Everywhere back to her home, and ultimately decided to take this opportunity to set up a date between them, tying Everywhere to a chair in her dining room and laying [[toast]] and tea on the table. After Everywhere explained that she could only love Nowhere if Nowhere renounced her evil ways, and demanded that Nowhere prove it by letting her go, Nowhere complied, untying Jenny, only for her to immediately [[shift]] away, telling Nowhere that she still didn't trust her.
-After flipping the table, Nowhere followed Everywhere to [[Reality Z-25 31-H|the other universe]], where, as they found themselves in [[the Naked Jungle]], their powers adapted them both to their surroundings by making their clothes vanish, leaving them in their respective patterned underwear. After Everywhere tripped and hit her head again, Nowhere helped her up, but then demanded that they return to Nowhere's house to finish their “date”, once again dashing any illusion Everywhere might have developed that Nowhere was undergoing personal growth.
-Nowhere shifted Everywhere back to her house and laid her out on the bed. With them both still in their underwear, she began to make out with Everywhere, but the other shifter shoved her off and tells her in no uncertain terms that her behaviour was only proving further that her “love” in no way made her a better person. She grabbed one of Nowhere's skirt and put it on before shifting away. Nowhere tried to follow her, though she realised that she forgot to get dressed again and had to waste time going back to her house again to grab another skirt.
-As they chased each other shifting too fast and too clumsily, they “clipped through reality” and found themselves in [[the Backrooms]], a “pocket reality between universes” where they were immediately menaced by a shadow-monster. They attempted to shift away together but only ended up on another level of the Backrooms, themed like a hospital corridor and teeming with yet more monsters. However, after another shift that took the two of them to a paradoxical space that is simultaneously indoors and outdoors, Everywhere managed to shift herself and Nowhere to the safety of an ordinary crowded street in [[Universe C (Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)|an actual universe]]. There, they seemingly agreed to call it a day and part ways peacefully.
-Some time later, however, Nowhere had returnd to stalking Everywhere. She took refuge in [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] where she was pursued by Nowhere whose eyes had once more turned into spirals. Everywhere tried to hide in a dark room, and, when Nowhere found her anyway, hit her over the head with a lamp before running out of the House. Still being chased by Nowhere, Jenny ran into [[the Infinite]], with Nowhere hot her heels. She explained to her other selves that Nowhere had been chasing her for days and she was desperate to get some rest. A [[Jenny Everywhere#Magician Jenny Everywhere|magician Jenny]] suggested a classic switcheroo, proposing that a number of Jennies from the Infinite take turns being chased by the focus Jenny's Nowhere. She volunteered to go first.
-While the chased Jenny collapsed to the floor of the Infinite right there and then, falling asleep almost instantly, [[Jenny Everywhere#Half-angel half-demon Jenny Everywhere|another Jenny]] who's been holding off Nowhere allowed her to fully enter the Infinite. The magician Jenny played around with Nowhere for a while, playing magical tricks on her, before “handing her over” to [[Jenny Everywhere#Bunny Jenny|Bunny Jenny]], and on and on. Nowhere, surrounded by Everywheres running literal rings around her, seemed to finally lose her mind completely to the “Nowhere Spiral”, her rational mind entirely consumed by her self-contradictory obsession with Jenny Everywhere. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral (novel)|Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral]]'')
-=== Defeated by Anywhere ===
 Shortly after [[Jenny Everywhere]] disappeared across the [[Multiverse]], one dour incarnation of Nowhere was dueled and defeated in [[Universe A (The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)|one universe]] by [[Jenny Anywhere#Looking for Everywhere|Jenny Anywhere]], who tied her down with [[shift-preventing chain]]s. Anywhere then interrogated Nowhere, trying to get her to tell Anywhere how to bring Everywhere back. However, Nowhere managed to make Anywhere realise that she was not actually responsible, being neither capable or interested in wiping Jenny Everywhere from reality ''completely''. She provisionally left Nowhere tied up until Everywhere could be found, promising to go back for her if and when Jenny Everywhere did turn up again, or it otherwise became apparent that Nowhere hadn't been responsible.

 In [[Universe (This Might Happen Someday)|one universe]], “Jenny Nowhere” existed as a fictional character alongside Jenny Everywhere. By 3001, there also existed a woman named Jennifer “Jenny” Nolan. She was a pale, short-haired blonde who often wore a black jumpsuit. Making use of the wide range of available, safe body-modification options in her native era, she had modified her eyes to be pitch-black and ringed with stars. Notably, “Jennifer Nolan” may only have been a localisation to give an equivalent name by 21st century standards to how her actual, potentially more exotic-seeming name might have come across in her native society — such as “Jenifa Luĉjo”.
 Either way, she was a self-confessed adrenaline junkie, often going on adventures in virtual worlds with her friend [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Everywhere|Jenny Evans]] (with whom she shared a home “overlooking the rings of [[Saturn]]”), acting as her rival. She was highly driven during their games, slipping easily into the part of a ruthless villain. The other Jenny was a fan of Jenny Everywhere fiction, and completed a 25-year effort to read or otherwise experience all surviving Jenny Everywhere fiction on August 13th, 3001, which was close to her birthday. Jennifer gifted her a pair of goggles and a scarf to mark the occasion. This prompted both girls to realise that they could, by this point, consider themselves the closest thing their world had to proper incarnations of Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Nowhere, with knowledge of all Jenny Everywhere fiction acting as Jenny's way of tapping into her counterparts' experiences. Although neither took the idea wholly seriously, they soon departed for another virtual adventure and it may or may not have prompted Jenny to discover right there and then that she had ''real'' [[shift]]ing powers.

One day, she appeared unexpectedly, gave him a flimsy story and a lot of explosives, then sent him off to the [[Kablamazon]] offices in search of [[Jenny Everywhere (925th Universe)|a villain]], in the hopes that Thor would not recognize Jenny Everywhere until it was too late.

+[[Reality 45]]'s version of Jenny Nowhere resided in [[Castle Erenow]] under the pseudonym Lady Calpernia Evernow, which she had inherited from [[Carmilla|Carmilla la Fanu]]. Concordat Agent [[Michael Béliveau]] noted that she smiled as though she was in on a private joke, and suspected that she had acquired a love of anagrams from the vampire. She had a romantic relationship with her universe's [[Jenny Everywhere (Reality 45)|Jenny]], who she described as “halfway to Nowhere” due to her weakening connection to the mental link. She was aware that [[the Concordat]] was monitoring Jenny Everywhere's activities, and taunted them with a wink before destroying their [[Grigori]].

 After making her debut as a twist ending to [[COMIC]]: ''[[Damn Fine Hostile Takeover (comic story)|Damn Fine Hostile Takeover]]'', Jenny Nowhere was defined (as it were) by [[Nelson Evergreen]] on Episode #20 of the ''Webcomic Beacon'' podcast as “a blank slate. How she looks, how she dresses, her character quirks, what her agenda might be – it’s all up to the individual who wants to do something with the name. Anyone can create their own Jenny Nowhere from the ground up.”<ref name="JEN" /> He explained:

 {{quotebox|Jenny Nowhere is also known as "The Shifter Slayer", or simply "Nowhere". She is the sworn enemy of Jenny Everywhere, and seeks to kill any and all Shifters that live throughout the many alternate universes. She has the same Shifter powers as Everywhere, but she uses them in a far more sinister manner. She's a public domain character who can be used by anyone, so long as you include this paragraph.|Lady Kraken}}
