Description
Physical appearance
This Jenny was a young woman with “neatly brushed blonde hair that stopped at a straight line above her neckline”. She never blinked. (PROSE: Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There: Interlude from 925-B)
Personality
Jenny Mason was a Christian, and tried neurotically cling to her faith in the face of the unpleasant turn her life had taken, punctuating every set of coordnates she gave out with “God be with you”. She was deeply unhappy with her lot in life, being understandably frightened of the fairly sinister Man in Gray, and performed her duties at the Monouniversal Finders Service with a gloomy, robotic distance.

Powers & abilities
Jenny possessed magical powers which were a heavily diluted version of her witch ancestor Keziah Mason's abilities. In Jenny's case, they manifested exclusively through the ability to innately guess things and people's locations, albeit exclusively within her own universe, rather than on the multiversal scale of her 925th Universe counterpart.

Biography
A descendant, seventeen generations removed, of the “infamous” witch Keziah Mason, Jenny was born and raised in Utah and lived a normal life until her senior prom, when she became the object of “a classic American prank involving a bucket of blood”. The intensity of her fear, anger and embarrassment awakened her latent, fairly unimpressive powers, and she abruptly “scream[ed] the home addresses of everyone in attendance, much to their confusion” — which did, even more confusingly, “somehow kill one person”. Shortly thereafter, she was tracked down by the Man in Gray, who offered her a job at the Monouniversal Finders Service. Jenny accepted the offer but went on to regret it, as the business of giving out coordinates without any other comment, all while sitting in a cramped gray room, was fairly soul-crushing. She also objected to the intern hired by the Man in Grey, Grant Farrel as possessed by Thor, who behaved in various disruptive ways, including one memorable Tuesday when he tried to kill her.
Less than a week after that incident, Jenny received a call from someone, and felt compelled to tell them that they “shouldn't go” at the coordinates she had just blurted out. This immediately drew the attention of the Man in Gray, who scolded her for editorialising, but his interest was piqued when she related that she had said so because her powers themselves had given her the ability to sense that “great evil lurk[ed] there, (…) buried, long-forgotten… but present”. The Man in Gray summoned Thor and asked him to get Jenny a coffee from the coffee machine, which Thor refused to do, instead setting out to destroy said coffee machine; when Jenny attempted to take this opportunity to broach the subject of how much she disliked having to deal with Thor, the Man in Gray rebuffed her, explaining that “ut’s good for business to have a brute on standby. One who is willing to kill without question”, and then brought her break to a premature end. (PROSE: (PROSE: Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There: Interlude from 925-B)
