She had “prophetic dreams” based on the knowledge of her other selves but no direct knowledge of her multidimensional nature, nor, seemingly, the ability to shift at will. She was once trapped in a tower, threatened by a [[Baron (Paying It Forward)|Baron]]. [[#Cha Ni|Cha Ni]], who had glimpsed her predicament, sent [[#Helping other Jennies|another Jenny]] to help her; the more modern Jenny slipped Genevieve a loaded gun through an arrow-slit, to use as part of an escape.

[[Universe (Parallax)|One world]]'s incarnation of Jenny lived in a relatively normal universe, although one which was home to some supervillains and other such threats. She lived in an apartment where she collected [[toast]]ers. Its actual number was “8”, but the plaque was usually askew, reading “∞” instead — which suited Jenny. | [[Universe (Parallax)|One world]]'s incarnation of Jenny lived in a relatively normal universe, although one which was home to some supervillains and other such threats.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') This Jenny looked “maybe Chinese, maybe Native American, maybe not”; her hair was short and “need[ed] professional attention”. As well as the traditional goggles and scarf, she wore a long coat. This Jenny was friends with the enigmatic [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'') and once saved the Internet in the “[[Eye of Tripoli]] affair”, which she insisted wasn't a big deal.

==== Meeting Jenny Nowhere ==== | |||
Jenny, [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and three male friends of theirs once partied a bar together. However, a version of [[Jenny Nowhere#Killed by a dinosaur|Jenny Nowhere]], whom this Jenny had never encountered in any form, slipped something in her beer which forced her and Kim to rush to the bathroom, where Nowhere confronted them. She revealed herself as originally a version of Jenny Everywhere who had become disconnected from the wider telepathic network. To Everywhere's horror, she viewed it as a liberation which she planned to “share” with her, willing or not. | |||
However, Nowhere had not counted with Kim's special abilities, which meant her tranquiliser drug had no effect on Jenny's friend. Forced to flee through [[shift]]ing, Nowhere was pursued by Everywhere through several landscapes. Realising sunlight was Kim's weakness and Kim was Jenny's, Nowhere shifted to the Giza desert at high noon, forcing Everywhere to shift Kim somewhere shady instead of continuing to try to capture Nowhere. However, Nowhere did not keep the upper hand for long; foolishly choosing to pursue Everywhere in turn to the cool jungle she had chosen as the place to take Kim, she realised too late that it was a ''prehistoric'' jungle and was mauled to death by a dinosaur. Kim later examined her body, finding the surgical scar above her left ear which revealed she was ''not'' the original Jenny Nowhere. Shaken by these revelations, Jenny Everywhere and Kim agreed to go back home for another drink — with no music. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'') | |||
==== Helping other Jennies ==== | |||
At some later point, Jenny foiled thirteen-year-old supervillain [[Professor Awesome]]. Shortly after this, she [[shift]]ed to [[Universe A (Paying It Forward)|the universe]] of [[Cha Ni]] and visited the [[Temple of the Oracle]]. She exchanged some words with the Oracle herself before collecting a list from her. It was a list of other Jennies leading more difficult lives whom this Jenny could go help. Her first destination was the Eurasian steppes of [[Universe B (Paying It Forward)|one universe]], where she found a [[#Stunt pilot|pilot Jenny]] who had downed her [[Everywhere Explorer|aeroplane]] and gave her the spare part she needed to get off the ground again. The pilot Jenny, in thanks, offered to fly her to her next destination. | |||
The pilot Jenny dropped her off in an African veldt in [[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|the next universe]] on her list, where she met [[Janni]], “She Who Walks In Every Place”, her local counterpart and an Amazon on a mythical quest. One of the items she was tasked with finding being a “wheel of number”, Jenny guessed that what she needed was the round spare flight computer she'd brought to the pilot Jenny alongside the spare part she actually needed. With Janni noting that she couldn't simply accept this prize as a gift, the two made a formal wager of it, with Janni winning the wheel from her in an arm-wrestling contest. | The pilot Jenny dropped her off in an African veldt in [[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|the next universe]] on her list, where she met [[Janni]], “She Who Walks In Every Place”, her local counterpart and an Amazon on a mythical quest.
