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.) More rarely, but still noticeable as a trent, some Jennies wore jeans and mirrored glasses.

However, some Jennies deviated quite far from the baseline in looks and, accordingly, psyche. At least one was [[#As a cat|a cat]] and [[#Johnny Everywhere|Johnny Everywhere]] was, as his name implied, a man, who identified as such. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Death of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Death of Jenny Everywhere]]'') For example, the [[#Defence Jenny|“defence Jenny”]] of the [[Governing Council]] was an [[elf]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Governing Council (comic story)|Governing Council]]'') there existed a [[Spheroid]] [[Geometron]] [[#Geometron Jenny|Jenny]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') and even a [[#Giant Robot Jenny|“Giant Robot Jenny”]] | However, some Jennies deviated quite far from the baseline in looks and, accordingly, psyche.

Jenny could make certain individuals in the universes she visited into ‘[[Anchor]]s’. The process caused a great shock to the Anchor, but allowed the Shifter to gain all the relevant information about her surroundings that she would possess if they she had herself been a native, as well as slightly shifting her appearance to match said surroundings. Jenny's Anchors gained the ability to follow her into [[the Infinite]].

===== Special realms ===== | |||
Some realms and pocket dimensions could only be accessed by versions of Jenny, or were otherwise specific hubs allowing incarnations of Jenny to meet. | |||
When a version of Jenny died, other incarnations found themselves pulled into [[The Graveyard|a Graveyard]] in their dreams were a funeral would be held for the deceased Jenny in front of an imaginary grave. Upon waking up, the attending Jennies would not remember the event. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Death of Jenny Everywhere (comic story)|The Death of Jenny Everywhere]]'') | |||
[[The Restaurant]] was a pocket-dimension restaurant accessible from any universe, staffed by versions of Jenny and principally patronised by other versions of Jenny, mostly humans or humanoids. It was, however, also accessible to friends and acquaintances Jenny chose to bring along. Because it was the superposition of all its possible timelines, the Restaurant was indestructible: if any part of it was damaged, it would simply shift itself to an intact version, with the occupants none the wiser. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Second Date (short story)|Second Date]]'') | |||
[[The Infinite]] was a plane of reality through which Jenny could pass as she [[shift]]ed. She could stop off there at her leisure to socialise with other versions of herself, and a number of Jennies stayed there on a permanent basis to keep it running smoothly. Jenny could take her [[Anchor]]s there, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') but it was, by and large, impossible for other [[shift]]ers to get into the Infinite on their own. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'') | |||
When enough of the Shifter's mental network got “worn out”, over millennia, a significant number of her incarnations automatically “zapped off to”, in Jenny's own rods, a “[[secret realm beyond Time]]”, where they remained for a few weeks, during which their [[shift]]ing powers were rejuvenated and their mental link resynched. After returning to the [[Multiverse]], even Jenny herself did not actually remember the experience in any detail. As she once explained, “some elements of me are secret even to, well, me!”.

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.
