The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)
From Jenny Everywhere Wiki
The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles was a Jenny Everywhere webcomic created by Benj Christensen, with Scott D. M. Simmons illustrating the third of its three arcs. The stories revolved around Jenny Everywhere's fight against the agents of the villainous Chaos, but several different incarnations of Jenny, sometimes at different points in their lives, were featured non-linearly in the chapters.

Worldbuilding
Jenny
- Chaprers 1 and 2 of this story feature a Jenny with the standard Jenny Everywhere look of a lean Asian young woman with short hair, wearing a scarf and goggles; her scarf is a grayish beige with red strips on each end. While adventuring with Michael Wilson this Jenny had dyed one lock of her hair crimson, but she seems to have abandoned this trait by the time she meets Julian.
- Chapter 3 features “Jenny Jacobs”, alias “the Shifter”, a teenaged superhero in Westbrook, Wisconsin and the adopted daughter of Simon Jacobs and his wife. Neither her day clothes nor her red superhero outfit include goggles or a scarf, although the superhero outfit does include an “S” logo on the chest that resembles the scarf of the previous Jenny.
- Various other Jennies are glimpsed in the Infinite, with the Wilson Jenny noting that although most are just passing through like herself, some live there permanently, “performing various tasks”.
- Jenny is shown to be able to turn people in the realities she visits into Anchors; this process, which momentarily stuns the Anchor, allows her to gain native-like knowledge of the dimension, and also shifts her appearance subtly to match.
