In character terms, she’s someone who can be difficult to like. She’s one of those people who tends to have strong Fixed Ideas about things and so conversations with them are full of bizarre mine fields. She can be petty and jealous and resentful and have Nice Guy tendencies. She’s not the “sociopath” that some people think she is though–she has to deal with the frustration of living in a world where most people aren’t on her level intellectually, and that means she’s built up a lot of anger and neediness and resentment, but she does have a conscience. But that can sometimes be very dangerous in and of itself, because of she is very certain about what’s right and wrong, and (as with, say, Magneto) that certainty can lead her down dangerous paths. Whereas Jenny is someone whose power is to consider things from a million perspectives at once. | In character terms, she’s someone who can be difficult to like.

So why does Jenny not only put up with her but actively care about her so much, and keep getting drawn into the multiversal train wreck in world after world? Well, Laura is brilliant, for one thing. Because of her voracious imagination and intellect she can understand where Jenny is coming from in a way most other people can’t. Jenny is someone who’s very simple, but in a way that has a lot of layers–she’s coming at things from a very strange perspective, so a lot of people don’t understand what her deeper emotions are. Laura’s also very thorough and good at thinking things through–as is Jenny, but in a completely different way. Jenny is someone whose thought processes are very nonlinear and can sometimes end up in strange places, so she needs someone who can question her and stand up to her when she’s doing something that’s a spectacularly bad idea, as she sometimes does. Because Jenny is someone with a lot of wisdom and insight, but not necessarily good sense. That’s how I see things, anyway.|McClure}} | So why does Jenny not only put up with her but actively care about her so much, and keep getting drawn into the multiversal train wreck in world after world?
