[[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] heads to the apartment on [[North Wintle Street]] which the version of her native to the continuum that this Westbrook was taken from used to share with her adopted sister [[Julie Jacobs#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Julie]]. She has a heart to hear with Julie about her conflicted feelings concerning [[Amelia Midnight|Archon Midnight]]. As Julie heads out on a date, Jenny agrees to keep watch on the apartment for her. | |||

* In a number of realities, Jenny Everywhere had two mothers: [[Amelia Midnight|Captain Amelia Midnight]], an adventuress in her own right (captaining the [[hypership]] ''[[Zephyrus]]''), and the [[Princess Katerina Corwin]], with “Corwin” being a last name used by many incarnations of Jenny. She was raised on the hidden interdimensional [[Island of Barbelo]], thus keeping her safe from her mothers' many enemies. Eventually, each Jenny would in turn leave their version of Barbelo, sometimes drawn away by [[Laura Drake]] or her fellow shifter [[Jenny Anywhere|Penny Anywhere]], sometimes as its only survivor after its destruction. | * In a number of realities, Jenny Everywhere had two mothers: [[Amelia Midnight|Captain Amelia Midnight]], an adventuress in her own right (captaining the [[hypership]] ''[[Zephyrus]]''), and the [[Princess Katerina Corwin]], with “Corwin” being a last name used by many incarnations of Jenny.

* In another set of continua, Jenny grows up in [[Westbrook]], [[Wisconsin]] with a pair of adopted white parents and an adopted sister called [[Julie Jacobs|Julie]]. She then tends to “pass back and forth between a large number of careers which usually tend to end in disaster, from landscaper to circus acrobat to giant robot pilot”. In some of these universes she gets along with her parents, but in others they end up becoming estranged. | |||
====Laura Drake==== | ====Laura Drake==== | ||
* In the [[Collapsed Cosmos]], [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] and [[Laura Drake#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Laura]] are friends. They appear to live together in a single apartment, with Jenny being at least willing to take their relationship further. Later, inside Jenny's adventure with Glendalf, which may reflect a nested fictional reality, Laura resurfaces in a more villainous incarnation, appearing as “a woman in a sort of deep blue Napoleonic military uniform with a white cape, holding [[Laura Drake's sword|a sword]] at her side”. | * In the [[Collapsed Cosmos]], [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] and [[Laura Drake#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Laura]] are friends.

* “[[Jenny Anywhere#On the Island of Barbelo|Penny Anywhere]]” is a fellow shifter to Jenny EVerywhere. In a number of incarnations, her arrival on the [[Island of Barbelo]] is what inspires Jenny to leave it to explore the outside world. | |||

* [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] states that she got her [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]] and [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] from her mother. This idea was first floated by [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'', where the suggestion was that this mother was the actual [[Amelia Earhart]]; here, she is instead the interdimensional adventurer [[Amelia Midnight]], though the “Amelia” first name is an obvious allusion. | * [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] states that she got her [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]] and [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] from her mother.
