This version of Jenny was once photographed enjoying a “take-away [[Raktajino]]” outside the ''[[Barbelith Baristas]]'' bar in the [[Bohemian District]]. While other people visible in the background of the photo, including versions of Octobriana, Neeta and Rabiahona as well as [[Professor Cabbage]], were photographed candidly, Jenny was in the foreground and looked directly into the camera as the picture was taken. The picture would go on to be used in a tourist brochure to illustrate the Bohemian District.

=== Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere === | |||
In [[Universe B (Extradimensional Experiments)|one fantasy universe]], “Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere” was an adventurer taking part in the [[Grand Battle of Knights and Sorcerers]]. She wielded a sword named [[Worldbridger]] which she'd received as a child, and which she believed to be responsible for her ability to [[shift]], although this may have been an erroneous assumption. In addition, she wore “an adventurer’s cloak, a hand-woven scarf, and a pair of wooden goggles”. Her arch-nemesis was [[the Draconic Sorceress]], with whom she had a romantically-charged sort of rivalry, reveling the chance for “intimate swordplay” that the other woman always provided at the end of their bouts by banishing the monsters she summoned before they could do Jenny any real harm if they seemed to be winning. | |||
While fighting one of the Sorceress's minions, [[the Creeping Shadow]], Gwenivar found herself summoned by [[#Jennifer Everstar|another Jenny]] to another world. It turned out that Jenny had also accidentally summoned the Shadow a few moments earlier, and had subconsciously wished for helm, leading to Gwenivar's taking. She helped the other Jenny and [[Laura Drake#At the Neptunian Orbital University|the local Laura]] defeat the Creeping Shadow, and then returned home with the depowered Shadow in hand, intent on telling the Sorceress about the event over the familiar duel.

=== Jennifer Everstar === | |||
In [[Universe A (Extradimensional Experiments)|one universe]], Jenny was born under the name of “Jennifer Everstar” in an era where [[human]]ity was expanding into the rest of the [[Solar System]], under the aegis of the ludicrously influential [[Altern Corporation]]. She appeared as a “stout, dark-skinned young woman”; in addition to the typical red scarf and pair of aviator goggles, when she had to wear a [[thermal suit]], she favoured green ones. When she was young, she used to illegally liberate recalled [[Altern SmartPet]]s from Altern transport trucks before they could be reprogrammed. | |||
By the age of 19, Jenny had become a history major at the prestigious [[Neptunian Orbital University]]. One day, she discovered she had the ability to summon objects from thin air. After a few weeks of keeping it a secret, she decided to talk to a physics engineering major about it. Looking over some of the students' [[holonet]] portfolios, she selected [[Laura Drake#At the Neptunian Orbital University|Laura Drake]] because her designs had a spark of personality and eccentricity lacking in the more conventional creations of her classmates. Laura reluctantly agreed to help after Jenny proved she wasn't pranking her, but when a failed attempt to scan Jenny instead gave increased power to her summonings, the two had to deal with [[the Creeping Shadow]], a monster from [[Universe B (Extradimensional Experiments)|another reality]], with the help of [[#Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere|an alternative Jenny]]. Laura's “failed” photon-freezer, and the specific ways in which she'd built it “wrong”, proved key to defeating the monster, together with her Jenny's encouragements. After saying goodbye to the other Jenny, Laura and Jennifer stayed up looking at the stars, already bonding. It was then that Jenny discovered she also had the ability to teleport ''herself'' to other worlds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Extradimensional Experiments (short story)|Extradimensional Experiments]]'') | |||
=== At the Neptunian Orbital University === | |||
In [[Universe A (Extradimensional Experiments)|one universe]], Laura was born in an era where [[human]]ity was expanding into the rest of the [[Solar System]], under the aegis of the ludicrously influential [[Altern Corporation]]. Laura was a precocious child, and, when she was two, her [[Laura Drake's grandmother (Extradimensional Experiments)|grandmother]] read her old comics like ''[[Asterix]]'', also teaching her the word “[[wiktionary:grawlix|grawlix]]”. She also gave Laura a plush alligator with a factory defect giving it extra eyes and arms, which the girl decided to name “Grawlix”, misspelling it as “[[Lord Grallyx#Laura's plush toy|Grallyx]]”. Her family also kept a pet [[SmartFerret]]. | |||
Eventually, Laura became a physics engineering major at the prestigious [[Neptunian Orbital University]]. She struggled with self-confidence issues, being unable to work to specifications and instead doing all her best works on eccentric side-projects like the [[cloud solidifer]], the [[turbo-toasting ray]] and the [[photon phonograph]]. One day, while she was trying to get a [[photon-freezer]] to work, she was visited by a history major she barely knew (though they had [[neuroseismology]] together), [[Jenny Everywhere#Jennifer Everstar|Jennifer “Jenny” Everstar]]. Jenny quickly showed her that over the last few weeks, she'd developed the ability to spontaneously summon objects from other realities, and the two began investigating her gift in secret. When a failed attempt to scan Jenny instead gave increased power to her summonings, the two had to deal with [[the Creeping Shadow]], a monster from [[Universe B (Extradimensional Experiments)|another reality]], with the help of [[Jenny Everywhere#Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere|an alternative Jenny]]. Laura's “failed” photon-freezer, and the specific ways in which she'd built it “wrong”, proved key to defeating the monster, together with her Jenny's encouragements. After saying goodbye to the other Jenny, Laura and Jennifer stayed up looking at the stars, already bonding.
