Jenny Everywhere's physical appearance varied across universes, although certain core traits included short-cropped hair and the wearing of [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] and [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|a scarf]]. She was, in most universes, human, with no particular physical abilities beyond her ability to [[shifting|shift]] and to tap into the pool of knowledge of her other selves.

In most universes, Jenny was of “average size” and appeared to be of Asian or Native American extraction, though she was usually vague about her actual origins. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[RIP Fourth Wall (comic story)|RIP Fourth Wall]]'') Some Jennies wore a flower pin in their hair as a further distinguishing sign, alongside the scarf and goggles. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Cars (comic story)|Cars]]'', ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'', ''[[Spores of Doom (comic story)|Spores of Doom]]'', etc.) | In most universes, Jenny was of “average size” and appeared to be of Asian or Native American extraction, though she was usually vague about her actual origins.

However, some Jennies deviated quite far from the baseline in looks and, accordingly, psyche.

Jenny could read Sanskrit, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Soulless Mate (comic story)|Soulless Mate]]'') and at least some of her incarnations demonstrated remarkable marksmanship skills both with a bow and arrow ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (Grant comic strip)|Untitled]]'') and with a gun. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Graveyard Shift (comic story)|Graveyard Shift]]'', ''[[Jenny vs. Groff (comic story)|Jenny vs. Groff]]'') In several distinct incarnations, Jenny displayed the ability to play chess at a very high level, notably beating [[Death#Chess game with Jenny|Death]], ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[Mitigating Circumstances (video story)|Mitigating Circumstances]]'') as well as [[Lord Grallyx]] in a world where he was a Chess Grandmaster.

Due to being genetically engineered, [[#Adventures with Trip|one Jenny]] had a variety of superhuman abilities, and kept developing new ones over the course of her early adulthood. Among them were a “super-sensitive endocrine system” and the telepathic ability to feel other beings' ennui. She also claimed that she had “a mental conduit to the invisible plane of ecstasy unobtainable to we average mortals”, although it was unclear whether this was a separate ability from regular mental shifting. This same incarnation also had horticultural and biochemical abilities, having cultivated the [[Focus Lotus blossom]] and used it to create a chemical that improved people's ability to focus on a transformative artistic experience.

Some Jennies had [[Fourth Wall Awareness]], considering themselves to be fictional (or, at least, being aware that they were fictional from ''some'' universes' point of view). ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere in Sob Story (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere in Sob Story]]'' et alt.) However, this was not universal, and at least [[#Captured by Sizemore|one Jenny]] experienced severe existential despair when she was told by [[Sizemore]] that she was fictional from his point of view.

=== Name === | |||
Jenny most often went by the name of “Jenny Everywhere”. However, this was not necessarily her real name. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wanted for Questioning (short story)|Wanted for Questioning]]'') In some universes she was born with a more mundane last name (such as [[Jenny Jacobs]]) and only took on the name “Jenny Everywhere” later in life as a kind of supehero alias. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'', ''[[Mrs Zirma (comic story)|Mrs Zirma]]'') Additionally, one “Wanted” poster for Jenny across incarnations asserted that her real name was “Jennifer [[Barbelith]]”, with “Jenny Everywhere” only being one of her favourite aliases. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wanted for Questioning (short story)|Wanted for Questioning]]'') One account suggested that the being which had splintered across the Multiverse to become the various Jenny Everywheres was originally referred to as “[[#Origins|the Defender]]”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Where Is Everywhere (short story)|Where Is Everywhere]]'') | |||
Some incarnations of Jenny adopted different names. For example, male incarnations would tend to adopt masculine first names, for example [[Johnny Everywhere]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Death of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Death of Jenny Everywhere]]'') The three Jennies who made up the [[Governing Council]] each adopted a different nickname to easily distinguish between them; [[#Jenny of the Governing Council|one]] was “Jenny” while the other two went by [[#Jen of the Governing Council|Jen]] and [[#Julie of the Governing Council|Julie]] respectively. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Governing Council (comic story)|Governing Council]]'') Similarly, one of the Jennies in the crew of the ''[[Lotus Prime]]'' went by [[Jenny Everywhere#Shift|“Shift”]] to help tell herself apart from the other crewmembers. She owed this nickname to a peculiarity in how her [[shift]]ing powers worked. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Makeshift Multiverse (comic story)|Makeshift Multiverse]]'') Jenny also spelled her name differently depending on the culture in which she was born; for example, one Jenny went by [[#Cha Ni|Cha Ni]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') | |||
Jenny also had a variety of titles and nicknames in addition to whatever proper name she went by. The most common was “the Shifter”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wanted for Questioning (short story)|Wanted for Questioning]]'', ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'', etc.) [[Raleigh]] often referred to her as “World-Changer”. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') | |||

“Jenny” had wavier hair and wore leather gauntlets that covered her forearms. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Governing Council (comic story)|Governing Council]]'') | |||
