According to [[The Everywheres (game)|one account]], there were many [[Anywhere]]s with various names and agenda across the Multiverse, who all adopted names of the form "[First Name] Anywhere" and were characterised by their reckless but creative attempts to increase the size and complexity of the Multiverse ever further by branching off new, artificial timelines from existing universes. What relationship, if any, any given incarnation of Jenny Anywhere bore to this group was exceedingly unclear. | According to [[The Everywheres (game)|one account]], there were many [[Anywhere]]s with various names and agenda across the Multiverse, who all adopted names of the form "[First Name] Anywhere" and were characterised by their reckless but creative attempts to increase the size and complexity of the Multiverse ever further by branching off new, artificial timelines from existing universes.

At least in some incarnations, Jenny Anywhere was also a skilled physical fighter, capable of getting the best of the likes of [[Jenny Nowhere#Defeated by Anywhere|Jenny Nowhere]] in a scuffle.

===On the Island of Barbelo=== | |||
In a number of realities, “Penny Anywhere” actually began a [[shift]]er before [[Jenny Everywhere#Origins|Jenny Everywhere]], and found her way to the [[Island of Barbelo]], where Jenny was being raised in secret to hide her from [[Amelia Midnight|her mother]]'s enemies. She would then inspire Jenny Everywhere to become curious about the outside world and run away from home to explore. In other variations of this story across the continua, [[Laura Drake#On the Island of Barbelo|Laura Drake]] held this role in place of Anywhere.

In [[Reality Z-25 31-H]], Jimmy once joined [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Jimmy Wherever#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jimy Wherever]] on an adventure a few days before Jenny's birthday. Holding Jenny's hand, she raced with the Shifter and her boyfriend through an unidentified cosmic landscape.

===Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world=== | ===Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world=== | ||
One incarnation of Jenny Anywhere was friends with [[Jenny Everywhere#Romanced by Nowhere|one Jenny Everywhere]], and was dating [[Jimmy Anytime#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jimmy Anytime]]. By joining their powers, they could travel through time as well as across dimensions. [[Jenny Nowhere#Romance with Everywhere|Jenny Nowhere]] once managed to trap both of them in a [[Universe A (Jenny Everywhere and the Very Normal Story)|conspicuously mundane universe]] from which it was impossible to [[shift]], alongside several others among Jenny's allies, and, ultimately, Jenny herself. While they tried to figure out their situation, Anywhere and Anytime shared a romantic evening dancing at night under willow trees; each of the two confided to the other that they'd had feelings for other people (in Jenny's case, none other than Jenny Everywhere and [[Jenny Somewhere#Trapped in a “Very Ordinary” world|Jenny Somewhere]]) but reaffirmed that it was one another that they truly loved. The two later stood with Jenny Everywhere against Nowhere, ultimately resulting in the shifters being allowed to leave.

A short time later, [[Jeanne Morningstar]] criticised some aspects of the character as created by Rankin, suggesting various tweaks and additional features.<ref>[https://creepingmonsterism.tumblr.com/post/58082423343/cosmicbeholder-another-reminder-art-for-jenny Jeanne Morningstar on Tumblr] (2014).</ref>This included a proposal to rename the character to “Julie Anywhere” to prevent confusion, which was not used by subsequent stories (with ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'' instead using the name of Julie for [[Julie Jacobs|Jenny's sister]]). | A short time later, [[Jeanne Morningstar]] criticised some aspects of the character as created by Rankin, suggesting various tweaks and additional features.<ref>[https://creepingmonsterism.tumblr.com/post/58082423343/cosmicbeholder-another-reminder-art-for-jenny Jeanne Morningstar on Tumblr] (2014).</ref>This included a proposal to rename the character to “Julie Anywhere” to prevent confusion, which was not used by subsequent stories (with ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'' instead using the name of Julie for [[Julie Jacobs|Jenny's sister]]).

{{quotebox|Hmm. I wasn’t fond of either of those concepts when I first came across them in the wiki–they seemed too limited and limiting–and I’ve already come up with a completely different supporting cast, but this is a neat piece of art. So here’s how I would handle handle them, since I’m sure everyone wanted to know. (…) Jenny Anywhere, on the other hand–I don’t think “Jenny” should be her name, as that makes things unnecessarily confusing. The first name that Barbelith came up for JE was “Julie,” so I’d go with that. Contrary to the original bio, she can shift through space and time but doesn’t connect to her counterparts. Anyway, if [[Jimmy Wherever|Jimmy]], in a weird sort of of way, reflects Jimmy Olsen, than Julie would be Lois Lane. Someone who’s naturally cynical and hard-bitten and determined, but she looks up to Jenny, but also wants to challenge her. But their relationship isn’t romantic–it’s more of a legacy hero/mentor relationship. (Well, hardly ever.) To put it another way–if Jenny Everywhere is [[w:c:tardis:Second Doctor|Two]] and (character I haven’t properly introduced yet) is [[w:c:tardis:Sixth Doctor|Six]], then Julie is [[w:c:tardis:Ninth Doctor|Nine]].
