* [[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|One universe]]'s version of the Shifter is known as [[Janni, She Who Walks In Every Place]]. She is described as “a dark amazon”, taller and fitter than the story's main Jenny. She wears light clothing including “[[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|a headband with two round amulets]]”. Her [[shift]]ing powers are somewhat unique; she travels around huge distances along a beam of glowing, rainbow light which, once she has reached her destination, shrinks down, allowing her to drape it over her shoulders — thus making it her version of [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|the scarf]]. | * [[Universe C (Paying It Forward)|One universe]]'s version of the Shifter is known as [[Janni, She Who Walks In Every Place]].
