Drinking the blood of a given individual would allow Kim to sense their location for a little while afterwards. Drinking Jenny Everywhere's blood gave her a temporary connection not just to the Jenny she'd drunk from, but all other Jennies in [[the Multiverse]], and seemed to also temporarily give her [[shift]]ing powers. Normally, she had none. However, Jenny did tell her about a few “backdoors out of the universe” just in case, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') and she possessed a mysterious ability to get through solid doors and to appear behind people without warnings, which [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]] did not fully understand; she confirmed to Jenny, at any rate, that it was not in any way comparable to Jenny's [[Shift|“dimensional shenanigans”]], suggesting it was probably not mere teleportation.

She habitually carried a small folding knife on her person. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Puritan Streaker (short story)|Return of the Puritan Streaker]]'') | |||
Kim had some knowledge of mathematics, feeling confident that he could help [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Eric]] learn “how to do exponents on the log scale” of a slide rule. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'') She also had enough knowledge to “snicker” at the math-based [[April Fools' Day]] joke whereby the 10 on [[David Lowe]]'s apartment door was replaced by an {{w|Aleph number|aleph-null}}.

At some point, a “long time ago”, Kim lived together with many other women. She attempted to flirt with many of them, progressively learning that taboo aside, not all women were actually sexually interested in other women, in contrast to what she'd previously assumed. She learned to deal with rejection “gracefully”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'') | At some point, a “long time ago”, Kim lived together with many other women.

Kim once suggested that she had visited [[London]] in the past. She also suggested that she had some familiarity with [[France]], including the [[Promenade des Anglais]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Puritan Streaker (short story)|Return of the Puritan Streaker]]'') | |||

One day she visited Professor Awesome, who had been bullied into building a [[Heteronormalizer]] by a [[Coach Haggard|teacher]] uncomfortable with the antics of hormonal teenagers. He explained that the gadget did not in fact work, but was a placebo meant to get him out of an awkward situation, and incidentally extract money from the teacher. She agreed that it was unethical to sell a machine he knew wouldn’t work but also that the teacher was wrong to have demanded it in the first place; he assured her he didn’t plan to make a habit of it.

=== Jenny's trip to France === | |||
On a day when she had nothing else to do, [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] received a message from her French counterpart [[Jeanne Partout (Return of the Puritan Streaker)|Jeanne Partout]] in [[Universe (Return of the Puritan Streaker)|another universe]], asking her to take care of minor supervillains [[the Puritan Streaker]] and [[La Frotteuse]], (who were up to their usual japes in [[Nice]]) while Jeanne was busy in [[Paris]] fighting rather more serious threats. Jenny, happy to have an excuse to take a holiday to France, and had faced the dimension-hopping Streaker before, agreed to go, with Kim staying behind because she had some shopping to do. | |||
Though Jenny had been prepared for the Streaker and La Frotteuse, she was taken by surprise by a third member of the villainous alliance, [[Yaoi Boy]], who “knows [[Shibari-Jitsu]]”. Finding herself stripped and tied up with magical [[Japanese knotweed]], she tried [[shift]]ing back to her apartment, but the vines came along with her and she had to wait on the floor until Kim returned from her shopping and was able to cut her free. Jenny later insisted that this story “shouldn't be told” but, on [[April Fools' Day]], Kim insisted on using [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]]'s [[non-canonical imaginizer]] to project a recording of the events directly onto the [[Fourth Wall]].
