Jen Masterson

Jennifer "Jen" Ann Masterson (Julie Maréchal in the French dub) is a fictional character in the animated Canadian sitcom 6teen. She is voiced by Megan Fahlenbock
== Overview ==
Jen is introduced in the pilot episode as the most responsible for the group of friends and the only one with a job. Her introduction has her remark on her plans to work at the Penalty Box, where she reveals that she took a job at the Big Squeeze both to get the experience necessary to be hired and to pay off debt she incurred from a (casualty-free) automobile accident she caused. She also shows that she plans ahead quite a lot, as she is ready for her interview and encourages her friends to prepare for theirs.
She ends up hiring Caitlin Cooke to man the lemonade stand after rejecting all the other applicants (mainly on appearance), and spends her time training Caitlin to work hard. She and Caitlin originally clashed quite a bit during training, as Caitlin had no work ethic while Jen has a very strong work ethic. Jen's work ethic is one of her defining characteristics; "The Big Sickie" focuses on how hard it is to get Jen to take a day off from work, and one of the frequent issues in Jen's relationship with her boss is that she feels she is underappreciated at work.
Jen's work ethic is the strongest among her friends. She frequently sets or breaks sale records at work, and she considers her job one of the most important parts of her life. Despite this, Jen has occasionally goofed off at work, such as in "Career Day" when she started goofing off due to getting results she liked on her aptitude test. She can also be very short-sighted, as she stole a jacket from work in "The Five Finger Discount" in an attempt to attract a boy she had a crush on.
Jen is very goal-oriented and considers herself a leader. However, as a consequence of this, she is often pushy and bossy, something her friends complained about in "One Quiet Day." She also has a tendency to take charge, as was observed by Briana in "Spring Fling," and as she noted in "Sweet 6teen," she's always been involved in planning stages of every event she goes to. Jen is also very scheduled, as she keeps a "life schedule" (as seen in "The Journal"), a cop shows schedule (as seen in "Bye Bye Nikki? Part 1"), knows to the day how long her friends have worked in the mall (as seen in "Going Underground") and how long until they'll be applying to colleges (as seen in "J is For Genius"), and is so agenda-focused that she'll even plan a night at the Amusement Park in "Silent Butt Deadly." Despite this being sometimes a drawback, her focus on strict responsibility has helped at times, such as when she assigned everyone jobs to make sure her mother's delivery went off as smoothly as possible in "Labour Day - Part 1." Her sister even points out that Jen was always the responsible one of the family in "It's Always Courtney, Courtney, Courtney!" and Jonesy and Courtney both acknowledge that Jen is far more responsible than both of them put together in "Labour Day - Part 2."
Jen is sometimes prone to envy. In "It's Always Courtney, Courtney, Courtney!" much of the plot is focused on how Jen feels like she's always in her sister's shadow, and in "2-4-1" she spends much of the episode complaining about Caitlin's ability to attract guys while she can't attract a single one. In "Bring It On," she becomes annoyed when Jonesy Garcia appears to be a better salesperson than her. At the end of "The Fake Date", she wonders what Charlie Dobbs' girlfriend has that she doesn't.
Jen's goals in life are to either be an Olympic snowboarder or start her own snowboarding gear company (preferably both). She is apparently an accomplished skier and snowboarder, and is on her school's snowboarding team (as was mentioned in "Welcome to the Darth Side"). She also plays basketball, as Courtney mentioned in "It's Always Courtney, Courtney, Courtney!" Her interest in sports and desire to start her own snowboarding gear company are what led her to get a job at the Penalty Box.
Despite frequently complaining about being dateless, Jen dated twelve boys over the course of the series (Jude Lizowski was a fake date). Despite this, only two of these relationships lasted any length of time; Jen dated Charlie Dobbs in two (nonconsecutive) episodes, and dated Travis Gibson from "Blast From The Past" until "Great Expectations." However, when compared with her two closest female friends, Jen has neither had a high quantity of relationships, like Caitlin, nor a long-lasting relationship like Nikki Wong
