Additionally, her common depiction by writers has her as enthusiastic, kind, generally angst-free, and eager for adventure and toast.
Jenny was created by Canadian cartoonist Steven Wintle on the loosely [[Grant Morrison]]-centric counterculture forum [https://web.archive.org/web/20051024234650/http://www.barbelith.com/ Barbelith], where she appeared in a bunch of comics.
{{quote|I envisioned her as the sort of person who wouldn't use a cheat code while playing a video game. So, anything from her bag of tricks (borrowed from herself from another dimension) would be on her person already, before the shit hit the fan. She wouldn't use it as an instant cop-out, thus enabling her to get in trouble with no seemingly way out but wht{{sic}} she has on hand. Therefore, her powers, vast as they are, are constrained by her personality, which doesn't allow her to "cheat."
Basically, she'll use her powers only against threats of an equal or greater force. She wouldn't use them against common thugs, but might use them against Satan, or Galactus, or someonw{{sic}} equally powerful.
In the original story we were working on, at one point she turns zero dimensional, allowing her to escape a reality affecting device because she therefore wouldn't exist. At the end of the planned series, she was going to die. And with her death, her other selves would all die, too. Thus causing widespread mourning by an infinite amount of friends, all of whom come to pay their respects. It would've been a bitch to draw.
Basically, she's continually multi-dimensional, as all her dimensional selves aren't separate beings, but really the same person existing in separate places. And of course, none of this makes any sense.}}
Eventually interest in her died out there, but she's gone on to appear in many, many other webcomics and stories, and has [https://jennyeverywhere.fandom.com/wiki/Jenny_Everywhere_Wiki her own wiki].
