Jenny Over-There
Jenny Over-There, sometimes known as the Finder, was a woman with an uncanny ability to know where things were. Multiple versions of her existed across the Multiverse, although they weren't known to share any mental link or the like.
Description
Physical appearance
Jenny was frequently described as having an “under-described” face; (PROSE: Open Sourcing) one account stated that “her hair was a scruffy brownish-reddish mangle” and “her face was… [add description later]." (PROSE: Lovie Dovie Stuff) By one source, she appeared as “a skinny woman wearing dark trousers and a red cardigan”. (PROSE: Family Business)
Personality
Jenny Over-There was generally not very happy with her lot in life, often dreaming of the simpler life she might have had if she'd never gained her powers. The 925th Universe's version of her found her rather mundane workdays stifling and held little fondness for the Man in Grey. She seemed to share Jenny Everywhere's taste for toast. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There) Even before she got her powers, she had been planning to set the SatNav factory she worked at on fire out of frustration. (PROSE: Open Sourcing) She was proudly aromantic and asexual. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events)
Powers & abilities
Jenny had the ability to know where everything was had merely to concentrate on the subject of search to get a mental image of it and its current surroundings, as well as abstract knowledge of where they were located. When she was awake, her brain more generally “buzzed with coordinates for anything and everything”. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There) At the M.F.S. office, she had access to an easily-used, portable teleportation ray. (PROSE: Open Sourcing) She had some degree of Fourth Wall Awareness. (PROSE: Family Business)
Biography
In the 925th Universe
- See main article: Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)
The 925th Universe's Jenny Over-There was named such by birth. She got her powers after a freak accident at a SatNav factory, and they reached all worlds in the Multiverse, not just her own. Taking an interest in her, the Man in Grey hired her as the first employee of the Multidimensional Finders Service. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There, etc.)
In Universe 925-B
- See main article: Jenny Over-There (Universe 925-B)
Universe 925-B's “Jenny Over-There” adopted the alias after being recruited by the Man in Gray's Monouniversal Finders Service, being in all other respects a completely different person from the 925th Universe Jenny Over-There. This Jenny's birth name was Jenny Mason, and she derived her powers to intuit the locations of anything in her native universe from a highly diluted version of her witch ancestor Keziah Mason's magic.

Telling Everywhere about the Childlike Empress
- See main article: Jenny Over-There (A Little Knowledge)
One universe's version of Jenny Over-There was similar to her 925th Universe counterpart, employed by a Multidimensional Finders Service and able to give the locations of anything or anyone in the Multiverse. She was also known as the Finder, and worked at “headquarters of the Multidimensional Finders Service”, a massive building. An incarnation of Jenny Everywhere was acquainted with her, and once went to her in person to get the location of the Childlike Empress. (PROSE: A Little Knowledge)
