Third Universe
The Third Universe was a universe whose timeline was travelled through by the Doctor and the TARDIS.
History
It had a native version of the Shifter, who had fair hair and Asian features, and was distinguished by her tiger-stripes-patterned jacket. Another Jenny, having shifted into her body, once faced a firing squad in the middle of a burning, wartorn city. She escaped by shifting physically away, while also shifting her consciousness to a different Jenny, presumably leaving the native Jenny back in control of herself wherever she'd ended up.
Moments after Jenny had dematerialised, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised in front of the firing squad. (COMIC: The Late Shift)
Behind the scenes
The Third Universe is one of the names given to the native universe of the Doctor in the Doctor Who franchise and its spin-offs (which had significant influence on the creation of "the Shifter"). Additionally, a number of other works of fiction have been shown to depict real events in this universe, including some anterior to Doctor Who's 1963 debut, such as H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds or Arthur Canon Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short story.
Interestingly, in 2008, a new character was introduced to the series: the artificially-created daughter of the Doctor, known only as Jenny. This Jenny (played by Georgia Tennant), who ended her debut episode by becoming a traveller in time and space in her own right, separate from her father, was characterised as a cheerful adventurer with a ready smile. It has thus obviously been theorised by some fans that Jenny, the Doctor's Daughter, may eventually come into her own as an incarnation of Jenny Everywhere. Although she does not quite resemble the unofficial "DWU Jenny" depicted in COMIC: The Late Shift, it is widely speculated that the "Doctor's Daughter" Jenny may be capable of regeneration, which could allow for a change in appearance.
