}}''' | }}According to some accounts, [[Jenny Everywhere]] had a unique '''mother''' before being splintered across the [[Multiverse]]; she retained her [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] and [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]], duplicated across the multiverse to infinity alongside Jenny herself. It was claimed that this original mother was [[Amelia Earhart|“a famous aeroplane pilot until she disappeared”]]. | ||
Across her incarnations in the Multiverse, Jenny had an infinity of different origins and childhoods for her individual selves, many of whom had individual mothers of their own. [[Amelia Midnight]] and [[Princess Katerina Corwin]] were Jenny's mothers in a high number of universes; when the Multiverse was temporarily reduced to a single [[Collapsed Cosmos]] with a [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|single Jenny]], Amelia and Katerina were the mothers she primarily remembered as her parents. | |||

According to ''[[Jenny Everywhere: Secret Origins]]'', a comic book, Jenny's mother was a woman with light blue-green eyes and reddish-brown hair. She often wore over her head the scarf which her daughter would later inherit from her and wear around her neck. Still according to the comic book, she climbed to a high rank in the military hierarchy of "the oldest and most advanced [[Earth]]" in the [[multiverse]] and married [[Jenny Everywhere's father|a scientist]] who was himself held in high regard, although not quite as much as her.

=== Across the Multiverse === | |||
==== Amelia Midnight and the Princess Katerina ==== | |||
In a number of continua, [[Jenny Everywhere#Origins|Jenny]]'s origins were variations of a single familiar story. In these universes, Jenny was the (sometimes adopted) daughter of [[Amelia Midnight|Captain Amelia Midnight]], a famous inter-dimensional adventurer in her own right, captain of the [[hypership]] ''[[Zephyrus]]''. Having a number of enemies, Captain Midnight would then hide Jenny away on the interdimensional isle of [[Island of Barbelo|Barbelo]], to be raised by [[Princess Katerina Corwin]], Amelia's primary love interest, and, secondarily, other partners of hers. She would take on the “Corwin” surname. | |||
In the [[Collapsed Cosmos]], this origin seemed dominant for the [[#In the Collapsed Cosmos|“collapsed” Jenny]], who recognised a [[Amelia Midnight#In the Collapsed Cosmos|version of Amelia Midnight]] who had retired at the [[End of Time]] (and who was an amalgamation of all of Amelia's selves) as her mother. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'') | |||
==== Mrs Jacobs ==== | |||
In [[Universe C (The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles)|one universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Jenny Jacobs|Jenny Everywhere]] grew up as “Jenny Jacobs”, the adopted daughter of [[Simon Jacobs]] and his wife. Mr and Mrs Jacobs had two other daughters without any special abilities, [[Julie Jacobs|Julie]] and [[Jordan Jacobs|Jordan]].

The intended implication of the description of Jenny's mother in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'' as "a famous pilot who disappeared", and was known for wearing goggles and a scarf, is that Jenny's mother was somehow [[Amelia Earhart]] or a parallel universe version thereof. Interestingly, in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Say The Word (comic story)|Say The Word]]'', Jenny has what appears to be a photograph of Earhart hanging on the wall of [[Jenny Everywhere's house (Say The Word)|her house]]. | The intended implication of the description of Jenny's mother in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'' as "a famous pilot who disappeared", and was known for wearing goggles and a scarf, is that Jenny's mother was somehow [[Amelia Earhart]] or a parallel universe version thereof.
