This Thirteenth Doctor was a woman with “bright hazel eyes” who wore “eclectic clothing”. [[Jenny Everywhere#Helping Rose|Jenny Everywhere]] collected Rose from Pete's World and [[shift]]ed her directly into the control room of [[The Doctor's TARDIS#Rose returns|the TARDIS]], cryptically stating by way of explanation that it would be “better for everyone” if Rose and the Doctor resumed their adventures forthwith. The Doctor recognised Jenny, though she told Rose that she didn't really know ''what'' Jenny was beyond being an “interdimensional hitchhiker”. After Jenny left, the Doctor and Rose went to the TARDIS library to catch up.

=== Fun with Clara and Jenny === | |||
In [[Universe B (Shippy Shifter Snippets)|one reality]], the Doctor was familiar with [[Jenny Everywhere#Fun with Clara|Jenny Everywhere]] of old, with her familiarly calling him “[[w:c:tardis:Theta Sigma|Theta]]”. At some point, the Doctor regenerated into a male incarnation whose costume prominently included a bowtie, and started travelling with [[Clara Oswald#Fun with Jenny|Clara Oswald]], a woman who ended up “splintered” throughout time so that she had a great number of alternative selves in other time periods, somewhat similar to Jenny's interdimensional incarnations. | |||
On one occasion, the Jenny he knew arrived in the control room of [[the Doctor's TARDIS#Clara and Jenny's fun|the Doctor's TARDIS]], intending to speak with him about something. However, he was out at the time, and she instead met Clara. When the Doctor returned, he was shocked to see that, once the two women realised they both had a bevy of identical counterparts, Jenny had summoned matching numbers of her other selves and Clara's into the control room, and they were all engaging in various adult activities. After the prime Clara explained the situation to the Doctor, the prime Jenny saucily asked him if he wanted to join the fun.

The character was cited in 2002 as an inspiration for Jenny by [[Steven Wintle]] in one of the original Barbelith forum-threads where Jenny was created — specifically for the notion that like the Doctor's, Jenny's birth name should remain a mystery, with it being assumed that "Jenny Everywhere" was an alias.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070408170025rn_1/www.barbelith.com/topic.php?id=5491#post86048 Post by “Moriarty” on Barbelith (Archived)]</ref> | The character was cited in 2002 as an inspiration for Jenny by [[Steven Wintle]] in one of the original Barbelith forum-threads where Jenny was created — specifically for the notion that like the Doctor's, Jenny's birth name should remain a mystery, with it being assumed that "Jenny Everywhere" was an alias.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070408170025rn_1/www.barbelith.com/topic.php?id=5491#post86048 Post by “Moriarty” on Barbelith (Archived)]</ref> | ||
