Jenny Anywhere, or Penny Anywhere, was a shifter similar to Jenny Everywhere, although she did not exist in every reality of the Multiverse, but “merely” in an indefinitely large number of them. Though less idealistic than the other Jenny, Jenny Anywhere was also an agent of good, and the two were generally friends when they met.

According to one account, there were many Anywheres with various names and agenda across the Multiverse, who all adopted names of the form "[First Name] Anywhere" and were characterised by their reckless but creative attempts to increase the size and complexity of the Multiverse ever further by branching off new, artificial timelines from existing universes. What relationship, if any, any given incarnation of Jenny Anywhere bore to this group was exceedingly unclear.

Description

Physical appearance

Jenny Anywhere was typically a tall pale-skinned woman with long straight hair. In her clothing she seemed to favour the colour red, with a burgundy trenchcoat as her most recognisable article of clothing. She also wore a scarf like Jenny Everywhere, but no goggles. She tended to have dyed hair. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere and Friends)

However, a few incarnations more closely resembled Jenny Everywhere. One had the Jenny-typical brown skin and short black hair, but had gold-amber eyes. She wore clothing similar to her version of Everywhere, going barefoot with a scarf, goggles, T-shirt, and skirt, but her attire was sun-themed instead of Everywhere's flower-themed; (COMIC: Is it gay to have a crush on the person you are cloned from) this gold, solar theme was shared by at least one other incarnation. (COMIC: Jenny Nowhere Is Sus, She's The Impostor!)

Personality

Jenny Anywhere strove to be a heroic figure, much like Jenny Everywhere. Indeed, she had patterned her public persona on the other Jenny's and was desperate for the real deal's approval. However, there were marked differences between them; rather than a happy-go-lucky wanderer, Anywhere was driven and practical, and occasionally let anger or frustration get the better of her. She was sometimes ruthless in pursuit of the greater good, in ways Jenny Everywhere would have disapproved of. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)

Powers & abilities

Jenny Anywhere was a powerful shifter, able to teleport across universes with accuracy, like Jenny Everywhere. However, her various counterparts did not share a mental link. Not having any connection to Everywhere but a superficial one, Anywhere was also unable to shift to the Infinite.

At least in some incarnations, Jenny Anywhere was also a skilled physical fighter, capable of getting the best of the likes of Jenny Nowhere in a scuffle. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)

Biography

On the Island of Barbelo

In a number of realities, “Penny Anywhere” actually began a shifter before Jenny Everywhere, and found her way to the Island of Barbelo, where Jenny was being raised in secret to hide her from her mother's enemies. She would then inspire Jenny Everywhere to become curious about the outside world and run away from home to explore. In other variations of this story across the continua, Laura Drake held this role in place of Anywhere. (PROSE: The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere)

(PROSE: Wherever at Anytime)

As a Crewmate

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

In one universe, Jenny Somewhere was a Crewmate in a futuristic, spacesuit-wearing crew; her spacesuit was yellow, with a sun motif. Also in the crew were Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Nowhere. Unbeknownst to Everywhere and Anywhere, 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!)


Brad Mason's friend

See main article: Jenny Anywhere (Grand Opening)

Behind the scenes

Genesis

Jenny Anywhere was unveiled by Carter-Ethan Rankin in April 2013 on the Public Domain Super-Heroes Wiki, using the same open-source license as Jenny Everywhere's, as part of an effort to create a recurring background cast for Jenny that could be used as freely as the Shifter herself. Rankin created Jimmy Wherever and Jimmy Anytime around the same period.

The public-domain blurb written by Rankin to introduce the character included many details which have yet to be translated into narrative media.

Jenny Anywhere is a recently appeared wannabe of Jenny Everywhere. Although her intentions are good, she is not original by any means. Her power isn't even as good as Jenny Everywhere's, Jenny Anywhere can only shift between realities but, not through time.

In terms of looks and dress, she appears generally along the same lines as Jenny Everywhere, although a tad more modern fashion-wise and has abandoned the aviation goggles (if she ever had any to begin with).

More recently, Jimmy Anytime, a genetically modified clone created from a tissue sample obtained from the real Jimmy Wherever, and accelerated to maturity artificially in an attempt to capture and subdue Jenny Anywhere has appeared. Though, who did this and why matters little, in terms of the characters themselves. Although originally rivals, Jimmy Anytime saw through his mental programming and joined sides with Jenny Anywhere. The two are now a couple.

Jimmy Anytime has been created with time travelling abilities to coincide with Jenny Anywhere being able to shift to any other location and/or reality but, not forward or backward in time. They may join their powers together by simply holding hands, in order for both to travel through space and time.

Carter-Ethan Rankin

A short time later, Jeanne Morningstar criticised some aspects of the character as created by Rankin, suggesting various tweaks and additional features.[1] This included a proposal to rename the character to “Julie Anywhere” to prevent confusion, which was not used by subsequent stories (with The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles instead using the name of Julie for Jenny's sister). Morningstar would later push for “Penny Anywhere” as the new name for the character, namedropping her under this name in The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere.

Hmm. I wasn’t fond of either of those concepts when I first came across them in the wiki–they seemed too limited and limiting–and I’ve already come up with a completely different supporting cast, but this is a neat piece of art. So here’s how I would handle handle them, since I’m sure everyone wanted to know. (…) Jenny Anywhere, on the other hand–I don’t think “Jenny” should be her name, as that makes things unnecessarily confusing. The first name that Barbelith came up for JE was “Julie,” so I’d go with that. Contrary to the original bio, she can shift through space and time but doesn’t connect to her counterparts. Anyway, if Jimmy, in a weird sort of of way, reflects Jimmy Olsen, than Julie would be Lois Lane. Someone who’s naturally cynical and hard-bitten and determined, but she looks up to Jenny, but also wants to challenge her. But their relationship isn’t romantic–it’s more of a legacy hero/mentor relationship. (Well, hardly ever.) To put it another way–if Jenny Everywhere is Two and (character I haven’t properly introduced yet) is Six, then Julie is Nine. Well, the coat makes me think of Nine.
Jeanne Morningstar


Some time later, artist "Lady Kraken" posted another interpretation of the character, alongside her own rendition thereof.

Jenny Anywhere is also known as "The Makeshift Shifter", or just "Jen A" to her friends. She has limited "Shifter" abilities based off of a serum that was made from Jenny Everywhere's DNA. She can teleport through space and time, so long as she has a visual aid of where she's going, and she can "alter dimensional properties", but the altering only lasts for an hour before changing back to the original state. Shifting between realities also takes a physical toll on her. She's a public domain character who can be used by anyone, so long as you include this paragraph.
