At some point, one version of Jenny Everywhere suffered a freak, one-in-a-billion accident which caused her a minor brain injury altering Broca's area. When she came to, she was startled to find that she had lost all connection to the network of other Jennies; she could no longer read their minds and they could no longer read hers. Viewing it as a liberation, she renamed herself [[Jenny Nowhere#Divergent Everywheres|Jenny Nowhere]] and began travelling the [[Multiverse]] to find her other selves and “liberate” them through a surgical operation replicating the effect.

One incarnation of Jenny was known as “Cha Ni”. She lived into old age, and became an oracle, living in the [[Temple of the Oracle]] in [[Universe A (Paying It Forward)|one universe]].

[[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|One universe]]'s version of the Shifter was known as Janni, She Who Walks In Every Place. She was described as “a dark amazon”, tall and fit. She wore light clothing, which did include “[[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|a headband with two round amulets]]”. Her [[shift]]ing powers were somewhat unique; she travelled across huge distances along a beam of glowing, rainbow light which, once she has reached her destination, shrinks down, allowing her to drape it over her shoulders — thus making it her version of [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|the typical Jenny Everywhere scarf]]. | [[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|One universe]]'s version of the Shifter was known as Janni, She Who Walks In Every Place.

The other Jenny had a flight computer from an [[Everywhere Explorer]], which Janni recognised as the “wheel of numbers” she sought. Insisting that simply accepting the gift would not be fitting for a quest such as hers, she insisted on a wager between her and the other Jenny; if Janni won she would get the wheel of numbers, while if the other Jenny won, she would get Janni's spear, the very one which had slain Jamek Tagilono. With arm-wrestling as the chosen mode of contest, it was an easy victory for Janni who bade her other self goodbye and continued on with her quest.

After killing it, she met a warrior called [[Tyse]] who had been on its trail. He explained that it was one of many magically-enlarged, monstrous rats sent out by the sorcerous [[Shaman of Argon|Shamen of Argon]] to plague the land. Deciding to go along with the flow, she decided to join his quest, with her riding with him to the [[Temple of Argon]] to confront the Shamen themselves. On the way, they found their conversation becoming increasingly flirtatious, and they ended up stopping by a riverbank for a short “dalliance”. | ||

The many strange items they unearthed, most of them Jenny's, included an [[amnesia orb]] which caused them quite a bit of trouble as it kept erasing itself from their memories and getting lost again, until Kim finally thought to wrap it inside an old shirt and stuff it into a box before they let it out of their sights again. Eventually, they located the mammoth-fur coat and, “with great relief”, consigned it to the dry cleaner. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cleaning Day (short story)|Cleaning Day]]'') | ||

The Professor slowly realised that she meant “[[Santa Claus (Parallax Universe)|the bringer of presents… the lurker at chimneys… the eater of a billion cookies]]”; Jenny, appearing to treat him as incontrovertibly real, advised Eric not to say the name out loud, though she told him that she had borrowed an “[[Amulet of Unheeding]]” from [[Steven Lucas|Steve]] and [[Thoth (Morning After)|Thoth]] just in case. | ||

Jenny had traded her earlier shirt for a ''Spinal Tap'' one, and now sported a gun belt, as she fittingly challenged Kelly to a duel in the ghost-town of [[Showdown]]. Jenny proved much faster to draw than Kelly, to the point of being able to use strategically-aimed gunshots to sever Kelly's belt and put her gun out of her reach before she'd even drawn it. Jenny continued by finishing to ruin Kelly's outfit, humiliating her, before forcing her backwards into a horse-trough and then causing a wooden sign to drop on her head, knocking her out. When Kelly woke up, Jenny had tied her on her horse and was leading her towards the nearest Guild outpost, five towns and twelve miles away. Much to Kelly's embarrassment, this would mean she would be seen in her embarrassing state of undress and dishevelment by the populations who had previously feared and admired her, doing irreparable damage to her image, something Jenny was counting on.
