Across her incarnations in the Multiverse, Jenny had an infinity of different origins and childhoods for her individual selves, many of whom had individual mothers of their own. [[Amelia Midnight]] and [[Princess Katerina Corwin]] were Jenny's mothers in a high number of universes; when the Multiverse was temporarily reduced to a single [[Collapsed Cosmos]] with a [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|single Jenny]], Amelia and Katerina were the mothers she primarily remembered as her parents.

[[Jenny Everywhere#Late for her "shift"|One version of Jenny Everywhere]] once noted that her mother had been “a famous pilot” until she disappeared. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'') Another, while suffering from [[shifter hangover]], got a glimpse of memories of another Jenny who had [[Jenny Everywhere#Growing up in Pennsylvania|grown up on a farm]] in [[Pennsylvania]] and was fascinated by her mother's old biplane which was hidden behind the barn. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'')

When the [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality 18|Jenny Everywhere]] of [[Reality 18]] was transported by the [[Key of Enecloog]] to a hellish mindscape of all her dark thoughts, she heard “angelic voice ”of her and [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality 18|Jenny Nowhere]]'s mother, speaking “above me, so distant, telling [them] that Jenny and I are at stake and that [[God (individual)|God]] isn’t afraid”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

==== Amelia Midnight and the Princess Katerina ====

In a number of continua, [[Jenny Everywhere#Origins|Jenny]]'s origins were variations of a single familiar story. In these universes, Jenny was the (sometimes adopted) daughter of [[Amelia Midnight|Captain Amelia Midnight]], a famous inter-dimensional adventurer in her own right, captain of the [[hypership]] ''[[Zephyrus]]''.  Having a number of enemies, Captain Midnight would then hide Jenny away on the interdimensional isle of [[Island of Barbelo|Barbelo]], to be raised by [[Princess Katerina Corwin]], Amelia's primary love interest, and, secondarily, other partners of hers. She would take on the “Corwin” surname.

In the [[Collapsed Cosmos]], this origin seemed dominant for the [[#In the Collapsed Cosmos|“collapsed” Jenny]], who recognised a [[Amelia Midnight#In the Collapsed Cosmos|version of Amelia Midnight]] who had retired at the [[End of Time]] (and who was an amalgamation of all of Amelia's selves) as her mother. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

In [[Universe C (The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)|one universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Jacobs|Jenny Everywhere]] grew up as “Jenny Jacobs”, the adopted daughter of [[Simon Jacobs]] and his wife. Mr and Mrs Jacobs had two other daughters without any special abilities, [[Julie Jacobs|Julie]] and [[Jordan Jacobs|Jordan]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') Several other versions of Jenny with similar backgrounds, including the adopted sister Julie, existed. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

In at least two known universes, Jenny's birth name was “Jennifer Evers-Werth”, with the “-Werth” hyphenation being her mother's name. This mother disappeared in mysterious circumstances, in a repeat of a common pattern across Jenny's infinite lives, where one of Jenny's parents would disappear mysteriously when she was young, setting her on the path to adventure. In [[Universe A (Past Prologue)|one such universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Jennifer Evers|Jenny]], while born as Evers-Werth, stopped using the hyphenation after her mother's disappearance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Past Prologue (short story)|Past Prologue]]'')

In [[Universe (The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere)|one universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Brainbridge|Jenny]]'s mother was married to a British man called [[Jenny Everywhere's father#Mr Bainbridge|Mr Bainbridge]]. She was a strict, driven mother whose determination for Jenny to succeed in school put her at odds with her daughter as she insisted that Jenny cut her fantasies and whimsy out of her life to focus on her coursework. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

The intended implication of the description of Jenny's mother in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'' as "a famous pilot who disappeared", and was known for wearing goggles and a scarf, is that Jenny's mother was somehow [[Amelia Earhart]] or a parallel universe version thereof. Interestingly, in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Say The Word (comic story)|Say The Word]]'', Jenny has what appears to be a photograph of Earhart hanging on the wall of [[Jenny Everywhere's house (Say The Word)|her house]].
