— Jenna, while reminiscing with Chase

**Jenna Begay** (born **Jasmynn Begay**) is a main character in the visual novel Echo. She is a close childhood friend of Chase Hunter and a studious psychology major bent on overcoming her past.

## Appearance

Jenna is the shortest member of the main cast, which is common for her species. She wears a black tank top that exposes her navel and beige shorts. She accessorizes with a bracelet on her right wrist, as well as a choker around her neck that sports a turquoise gem the same color as her eyes. Her fur is a sandy color with lighter shades on her ears, muzzle, head, and torso.

## Personality

Jenna is pragmatic and resourceful, and is likely the most well educated member of the group. She may also come across as somewhat cold and detached sometimes, while warm and reassuring at other times. Flynn is typically on the receiving end of the former, as the two butt heads consistently. She acted as the big sister figure to much of the group as they were growing up, especially in the case of TJ. Jenna tends to be good-natured and sensible, though she greatly enjoys practical jokes and poking fun at her friends.

Despite her generally compassionate and supportive disposition, Jenna carries somewhat of a vindictive streak that largely manifests in her relationship with Leo as well as her thoughts toward Echo itself. Due to her upbringing, Jenna tends to be self-sufficient and prefers to have some degree of control in most situations. She is proud of her Meseta heritage and is willing to confront those who disrespect her culture, although she does not believe in most Meseta customs herself.

#### Early Life

Jenna was born and raised in Echo alongside her brothers, Adam and Jeremy. She was born under the name Jasmynn Begay, with her parents naming her after the street they lived on. Her family struggled with money and was known to be physically and verbally abusive, though Jenna herself rarely elaborates on the details.

Jenna's family had a habit of selling her belongings for drug or alcohol money, which led to her learning to hide her things from others. When Jenna's family was being especially awful or she was feeling very angry, she occasionally encountered a mysterious burned figure that would watch over her from a short distance. She came to consider this creature as a "guardian angel," and refrained from discussing it with others.

Growing up, Jenna found a support system in the friends she made at school. She became best friends with Chase at a young age, and the two decided to befriend Leo after his family first moved to town. From there, the group further expanded to include Carl, TJ, Flynn, and Sydney. When her home life became too much to handle, she would spend the night at one of her friend's houses (Leo's in particular). She also frequently visited her grandmother who lived on the nearby Meseta reservation.

When she was eleven, Jenna and the rest of her friends went to play at Lake Emma, only for tragedy to strike when Sydney drowned in the lake. TJ was the only witness to the incident, and Jenna provided him with comfort and stood up for him when others such as Flynn tried to force him to talk about it. To cope with Syd's death, Jenna convinced herself that he was nothing more than a bully and that they were better off without him, though she was deeply shaken as well.

Later on, Jenna would face a series of family tragedies; including the death of her grandmother and Adam committing suicide. As a teenager, Jenna developed an interest in manga and anime, including yaoi. She became a confidant for many of her friends due to her rational thinking and acceptance toward others, leading to both Flynn and Leo eventually coming out as gay to her. She also briefly became friends with Heather and tried to help her with her own complex home life, though upon telling her that covering for her was becoming too much Heather responded by sending a group of boys to her house under the pretense of Jenna having sex with them. This lead to her becoming the target of heavy bullying and receiving further abuse from her father.

#### Route 65 and Later Life

On November 1, 2008, Jenna was punished by her father for unknown reasons and kept home from school. He also removed her bedroom door from its hinges, presumably to remove her privacy. Depending on who Chase chooses to come out to at the beginning of Route 65, he may stop to visit Jenna on the way to the Day of the Dead party and allow her to borrow his phone to send an unknown text. He may also come out to her, to which she responds supportively.

After Chase and Leo became a couple, the two tended to keep to themselves more often (due to Leo's growing overprotective behavior) and as a result ignored Jenna along with the rest of their friends. At one point, the pair even skipped her birthday party. Though outwardly supportive of their relationship, Jenna internalized somewhat of a grudge toward the pair for their behavior, especially Leo (knowing he was the one keeping Chase away from her and everyone else). During this time, Flynn became the primary person to check in on her and help her with her family. Meanwhile, Jenna began making plans to leave Echo and stay with a friend in Payton.

In May 2010, Jenna informed Chase of her plan to run away. Shortly after, he drove Jenna to Payton in order to permanently emancipate her from her abusive family. During this trip, Jenna encouraged Chase to apply to Pueblo University and told him of her plan to change her name from Jasmynn to Jenna in order to gain a fresh start and impede her family's possible search efforts.

Inspired by her traumatizing childhood (particularly the sightings of her "guardian angel"), Jenna studied psychology at Pueblo University on a tribal-association scholarship in hopes of figuring out more about how the brain works and how to process these sightings. During this time, she stayed in contact with her friends via social media. She also took on a yearly job working at the state fair, and apparently dated a man named Cody online for a brief period. In May 2012, Jenna returned to Echo over spring break and convinced Chase (who came to her for aid) to help her pull a prank on Leo in which he would be led to believe that Chase was cheating on him. This culminated in Leo breaking Chase's phone and the two unofficially breaking up as Chase began his first semester at Pueblo that fall alongside her and Carl.

Jenna continued her studies at Pueblo, tending to keep to her own friend group rather than interacting with Chase or Carl. In October 2012, she attended a college party held by a wolf named Vincent. By the time period of Echo, she has begun planning to graduate in a matter of months and is set to start a graduate program at the prestigious Weston University in the fall. During spring break, she and Chase depart from Pueblo and then go to pick up TJ in order to make their return to Echo for one last reunion of their childhood friend group.

**Plot**

#### Prologue

Jenna arrives in Echo alongside Chase and TJ and reunites with the rest of their friends. She accompanies the group to Southwest Adventures on Sunday, where she splits off with Leo and Flynn to enjoy the rides. Later on, she and Leo compete at various carnival games, all of which she triumphs in by putting her experience at the state fair to use. During this time, Chase may either confess that he is actually bisexual (and has been so from the start) or allow her to go on believing that he is gay, which affects their interactions on her route later on. Jenna also encourages Leo and Chase to talk about their relationship rather that letting it hang over the group for the rest of their trip.

When Flynn snaps at the group on Monday, Jenna goes after Leo in attempt to calm him down. If Chase chooses to follow them, he will find her unsuccessfully trying to reason with him before storming off and encouraging Chase to give it a shot.

#### Jenna's route

If Chase decides to stay with Jenna rather than talk to Leo, the two track down TJ and manage to cheer him up somewhat. They then promise to go hiking with him the next day. During the hike, Jenna discusses her family and future plans with Chase, as well as her childhood experiences with her "guardian angel." Afterward, the three visit the diner and are joined by Leo, who informs them of his plans to hold a party for Carl's birthday.

On Wednesday Jenna accompanies the group to the mall in search of presents for Carl, during which she may lightly flirt with Chase if he revealed to her that he is bisexual. Jenna scolds Leo for his advances toward Chase and embarrasses him once again by winning a prize for Carl's birthday from a claw machine he had been struggling with. The group then heads to Carl's house for the party, with Jenna being boosted through the window by Chase to let the rest of the group in when the ram does not answer. Shortly after, the group realizes Carl is missing and Jenna discovers his phone with a photo of a mysterious figure on it.

Jenna takes charge during the search for Carl, immediately informing his parents and the police of the situation and working with the others to coordinate search efforts. Jenna stays at the mansion as a sort of "home base" for the rest of the day, eventually going out to search herself very early the next morning. She is accompanied by Chase as the pair go to talk to Duke. Along the way, she tells Chase about her grandmother and shares her thoughts on Leo's recent behavior as well as Echo itself, to which Chase can respond in more positive or negative ways. Afterwards the pair return to the mansion, where they have sex if Chase has told her he is bisexual.

Later that day, Jenna goes with Flynn and Chase to talk to Jeremy and his friends, encountering Heather in the process. Depending on Chase's interactions with her the previous night, she may either confront Heather about their shared past or choose to move past it. Regardless, after hearing Jeremy's story the group heads back to the hotel for the night, where Chase shares a bed with her (potentially in a romantic manner). That night, she dreams about her grandmother as a noble knight who chooses to spare a baby dragon rather than kill it.

After getting breakfast Jenna returns to the hotel to help Chase apply first aid to an injured Leo, where she and the wolf argue about her manipulative behavior before the appearance of a shadowy version of Chase. Immediately after, the three find themselves attacked and abducted by Brian. She is chained to a radiator in the bear's trailer and forced to watch as Duke interrogates Chase, Carl (who has been held in the trailer throughout the week) is taken away by Jeremy and Clint, and Micha, Chase, and Leo are tortured by Brian. The group is saved by the timely appearance of Jenna's "guardian angel," who seemingly kills Brian and frees Micha.

After escaping the trailer, the group come across a mysterious van that prompts Leo to share his past with Micha. Jenna is disgusted by these revelations and makes her main goal escaping town as soon as possible. If Chase's responses toward her while walking together on Thursday morning were more negative, her behavior becomes increasingly short and vengeful, whereas more positive responses lead her to be more patient and accepting (with Sam even comparing her to Cynthia). The group then reunites with Flynn and TJ and enters Heather's house, where they find Carl and a hysteric Heather.

If Chase has encouraged Jenna's more jaded worldview, she will get Flynn to shoot Heather and harshly condemn the rest of the group. She then splits off on her own after stealing Heather's dam operating guide and drives to Daughter's Dam, where she opens up the floodgates and floods Echo. On this path, Jenna seems to hear odd voices that inspire her erratic behavior.

If Chase has been more positive in talking with Jenna however, she (if chosen over Micha) will talk Heather down and encourage the group to follow the cat to the dam in order to stop her from flooding the town herself. Upon arriving, Jenna manages to reason with Heather regarding the people in her life who *do* care about her and stops her from opening the floodgates, narrowly saving Heather from her approaching "guardian angel" in the process.

Afterward, Jenna accompanies the group to a diner in Payton where she apologizes and admits to her manipulation of others and promises to strive toward being a better and more self-aware friend, starting by taking a gap year to reconcile with her own biases before departing for Weston. If Chase has engaged in a romantic relationship with her, she will further apologize for using him to hurt Leo before confirming that the feelings between them are real nonetheless and encourages him to ask her out genuinely later on which he agrees to with equal joy. She then asks a now stronger and more mature Chase to pick a song on the jukebox as the route ends.

#### Carl's route

Jenna plays a key role on Carl's route, albeit in physical form only. She first appears at Carl's birthday party on Wednesday, where she aggressively confronts him for avoiding the majority of the party and angrily points out his privilege compared to her upbringing. Chase notes this as being out of character for her, which proves to be an astute observation later on.

Jenna accompanies the group to Lake Emma on Saturday in an attempt to move past Sydney's death, only for things to go awry when Chase nearly drowns and mass hysteria breaks out across Echo. Jenna attempts to track down TJ, who is frantic and seemingly hallucinating, only to end up trapped in a hallucinatory version of the Hendricks Mansion alongside Carl, Chase, and Raven.

As the group attempt to escape the distorted Mansion, they are able to piece together that the key to their escape lies in resolving a mysterious "game" being conducted between the spirits of James Hendricks I and John Begay, the ancestors of Carl and Jenna. On top of this, the spirits have possessed the bodies of their respective descendants, leading to Jenna's actions throughout the rest of the route being manipulated by John Begay. While under John's influence, Jenna has little concern for her friends and gets extremely aggressive with them as John attempts to prove his innocence in the crimes of his past. She also does not seem to process any danger to herself, such as brushing off an experience in which she is nearly hung.

Despite Chase and Carl attempting to break Jenna of her possession, she is unable to fight John off and only comes to her senses for brief moments throughout the night. This eventually culminates in John (in Jenna's body) attempting to kill Carl, only for Chase to fight her off and temporarily split ways with her and Raven. Afterward, depending whether or not Carl fought off his own possession earlier in the night, Jenna is either murdered by a James-possessed Carl or freed of her possession after Chase promises to bring the truth of John's story to light.

In Carl's good ending, Jenna apparently stays close friends with those who survived the Hendricks Mansion alongside her and processes the trauma of the night by enrolling in Weston as planned. There, she turns her studies toward the phenomenon of shared psychosis and denies any paranormal aspects of the incident. Though her school career does not stagnate as a result of her time in Echo, Jenna is left haunted by her actions and the harm she brought to her friends throughout the night.

#### Leo's route

Jenna's role on Leo's route is somewhat minimal. She goes shopping with Chase, Leo, and TJ on Tuesday and gets in a race with Leo where she embarrasses him in front of Chase by "proving" herself as the ideal companion in an apocalypse. She also attends Carl's birthday party the following day, being boosted through the window by Leo to let the rest of the group into the mansion when Carl proves to be absent.

Afterward, Jenna remains absent for the majority of the route having apparently fallen for Leo's texts explaining that Chase would prefer to be alone with him. She presumably goes hiking with TJ and works on her homework before the mass hysteria takes hold of the town on Saturday. At some point on Sunday, Jenna manages to make her way to the area near Leo's house while experiencing unknown hallucinations that put her on edge. She is later found by Kudzu and Chase and returns to her senses, albeit shaken. Afterward, she escapes town with the rest of the group by hopping aboard a passing train en route to Payton.

#### TJ's route

Jenna spends the majority of TJ's route working on homework back at the hotel. She attends Carl's birthday party on Wednesday and is boosted through the window by Leo to open the door, though the gathering is short-lived when Carl cannot initially be found. She joins Chase, TJ, and Carl on Sydney's alleged final treasure hunt, hoping to help TJ gain closure. When Carl breaks his ankle, Jenna accompanies him to the hospital and then goes to stay with a friend in Payton for the remainder of the route, seemingly disgusted with her friends' actions.

#### Flynn's route

Jenna spends much of Flynn's route attempting to defend TJ from Flynn's interrogation. She rebuffs the Gila's attempts to talk with TJ on Tuesday and tells him to apologize for his behavior before speaking to them again. She attends Carl's birthday party on Wednesday and spends much of the rest of the following week working on homework or hanging out with TJ and Leo. On Thursday night, she and TJ hear Clint shouting outside their hotel room and she calls the cops, only for her police report to be dismissed.

On Friday, Jenna and the rest of the group except Flynn meet up and have a barbecue near Chase's former house. If Chase chooses to dance with TJ and Jenna during the get-together, Chase steps on Jenna's foot and she spends the rest of the route walking with a limp. Later at the motel, Jenna mentions to Chase that she saw the Socket Man, which she calls her "guardian angel," many times while she was under stress throughout her early childhood, and explains that those memories eventually encouraged her to pursue psychology.

When Flynn attempts to interrogate TJ about Sydney's death on Saturday, Jenna (having been told of Flynn's plan to do so by Chase) arrives and angrily confronts him about his behavior. When Chase falsely accuses Flynn of threatening TJ with violence she seems repulsed by the entire situation, and after TJ reveals Chase’s role in Sydney's death Chase describes Jenna as more troubled than she’s looked in years. She then returns to Flynn's house with the rest of the group sans Chase as the Hysteria begins to break out across town.

At Flynn's house, the group tries to process the implications of TJ’s confession, which Jenna seems open to believing. Jenna may be forced to reason with an increasingly irrational Leo who is furious at Flynn and unwilling to accept Chase’s guilt, depending on how Chase treated him earlier in the route. When Jenna catches Flynn and Carl sharing a tender hug in Flynn’s room, she is wryly delighted by the prospect of a romance between them, and later tells Flynn she is happy for them. After TJ gives another account of the monster he saw the day Sydney died, Jenna is shocked to realize that it matches the "guardian angel" she saw throughout her childhood, and that most of the others have seen it as well.

Jenna accompanies the group as they return to Town Hall to learn more about the mass hysteria affecting Echo and manage to rescue Chase from a mob of townspeople incited by Duke. As they try to drive out of Echo, Jenna once again comes face to face with her "guardian angel" after it smashes through the car's back window, and she fires Duke's gun at it to no effect. After she and the rest of the group are teleported to Lake Emma by the creature and escape from their sinking vehicle, they regroup on the shore and decide to head for Leo's house. She separates from Flynn and is not seen for the rest of the route, but she presumably escapes Echo after the events of the night.

After Flynn's transformation into the Socket Man, he appears in the closet of a very young Jenna. This marks the beginning of her sightings of her "guardian angel." The route closes on Jenna asking the creature if it is real, to which it slowly shakes its head.

## Relationships

### Chase

Chase and Jenna have been best friends since they were children, being the first two members of their friend group to meet. The two remained close throughout much of their adolescence, with Chase often relying on Jenna as a confidante or when seeking advice. For her part, Jenna seems to get along well with Chase (especially in comparison to Leo or Flynn) and tries to provide him with what she considers to be sound guidance whether he has asked or not. Though Jenna usually tries to point Chase in the right direction, she also greatly enjoys pranking him sometimes; especially due to his fear of spiders.

On Jenna's route, if Chase confesses to her that he is (and always has been) bisexual, the two will enter a growing romantic relationship that spans the rest of the trip in which Jenna is outwardly flirtatious with him. Combined with interactions they share in other routes as well as Route 65 and Jenna's offer of a "serious" date at the end of the route, it is possible Jenna has or had a crush on Chase since the beginning. That being said, while the two were at college Jenna tended to keep distance from Chase (possibly so they could focus on their own respective career paths), and many of their more intimate interactions seem to be at Leo's expense. As such, it is difficult to determine whether the full extent of Jenna's feelings toward Chase are genuine interest or simply using him to settle her grudge against Leo, but her route (especially in the ending) seems to confirm/indicate that they are indeed deep, sincere, and legitimate.

### Leo

Jenna and Leo became good friends shortly after they began attending school together, with she and Chase going out of their way to befriend him as the "new kid." The two have somewhat of a complex relationship, largely due to their respective feelings toward Leo's relationship with Chase. As children, Leo would frequently check on Jenna when things were especially bad with her family at home and even invite her to stay at his house when necessary. The two also developed somewhat of a friendly rivalry involving various contests, though outside of this Jenna tended to rely on Leo for support and offered him advice regularly.

This relationship took a turn when Chase and Leo started dating, resulting in the two frequently ignoring her, due in part to Leo's growing overprotectiveness. Afterward Jenna became somewhat resentful toward Leo, both for becoming oblivious to her hardships and for commanding the bulk of Chase's attention for himself. As a result, Jenna's rivalry with Leo became much more competitive, and Jenna seemingly tries to make Leo look bad on various occasions. This culminated in a prank devised by Jenna in which she and Chase made Leo believe that he was being cheated on, leading to he and Chase unofficially breaking up. Though Jenna felt some level of guilt for the way things ended, she did not seem to think about her impact in the much beyond considering it a victory of sorts.

Jenna typically seems to enjoy coming out on top over Leo, especially when Chase is present. Because of this, the two are often in some sort unspoken conflict, especially on Jenna's route. That being said, the two seem to get along well in areas where Chase is not concerned, and despite her condemnation of many of his actions Jenna still considers Leo a close friend. On Jenna's good ending, she directly apologizes to Leo for her behavior and promises to strive toward being a better friend while Leo likewise sincerely apologizes for how he deliberately tried keeping Chase to himself from her and the others for his own selfish sake.

### TJ

As the youngest member of the group, Jenna has a habit of "mothering" TJ to some extent. She often intervenes when other members of the group attempt to pick on him, especially Flynn, and tries to shield him from more serious or risqué topics. Having spent most of her life as TJ's unspoken guardian, Jenna is often surprised when he stands up to her or one of their other friends. She also seems to simultaneously overestimate his naivete while undermining some of his capabilities. In spite of this, the two remain great friends. Jenna spends much of her free time with TJ on most routes, particularly accompanying the lynx on his hikes or seeking him out when the hysteria begins to take effect.

### Flynn

Jenna and Flynn are often at odds with one another due to the Gila's temperamental nature. Jenna tolerates Flynn's outbursts much less than the rest of her friends, especially as they tend to be directed toward TJ. Jenna has a tendency to assume the worst of Flynn, and disagrees heavily with his desire to find the truth of Sydney's death rather than moving on. In spite of their differences however, the two share a certain level of unspoken companionship regarding their somewhat similar upbringings. When Leo was unavailable (particularly after Leo began dating Chase), Flynn would often check on Jenna and help her as needed with her home life. Though their relationship is strained, Jenna does still consider Flynn to be a friend even in spite of his actions.

### Carl

Jenna and Carl are friends, though they rarely interact compared to their respective relationships with the rest of the group. Jenna is very encouraging toward Carl in regards to returning to college, though she seems to struggle to understand his anxiety at times. In secret, Jenna seems to somewhat resent Carl's privileged upbringing and his current lifestyle in contrast to the struggles she was forced to face. That being said, Jenna overall gets along well with Carl and largely coordinates the group's search efforts for him during the events of her route.

While possessed by the spirit of John Begay on Carl's route, "Jenna" becomes increasingly aggressive and distrustful of Carl, seeing him as James even if Carl is no longer possessed. In Carl's bad ending, she is killed by a James-possessed Carl after attempting to attack him for "interfering" with evidence in their game.

### Sydney

In life, Sydney and Jenna rarely got along due to Syd's bullying of TJ and seemingly aggressive behavior. After Sydney passed away, Jenna coped by telling herself that he was a bad person and even stating that she was glad for his death on one occasion. Despite these harsh words, Sydney's death seemed to affect Jenna heavily, and this event marked the beginning of Jenna's habit of coping by demonizing the parts of the past that she cannot overcome.

### Jeremy

Jeremy is Jenna's brother and the only surviving member of her family who she still expresses interest in knowing. Jenna states that Jeremy isn't as bad as the rest of her family, and she appears to feel that he was somewhat corrupted by the influence of Clint and their parents rather than being malicious himself. Jenna's trademark turquoise necklace was a gift from Jeremy, and the fact that she still wears it may indicate that she holds out some hope for their relationship.

Jenna tells Chase that Jeremy is her only family member she'd be interested in seeing while they're back in Echo, and she seems somewhat happy to encounter him again during the events of her route. Their relationship is far from perfect however, and Jenna condemns her brother after he abets Brian's capture of her and her friends. When Jeremy leaves them to their fate with the bear, Jenna seemingly cuts ties with him completely.

### Begay Family

Jenna's parents were abusive toward her throughout her entire childhood, eventually prompting her to run away and cut them out of her life completely. Though she is aware of her father's disappearance, she cares little about seeing him or her mother again. As a child, Jenna was somewhat close with her older brother Adam before he eventually "changed," largely as a result of their parents' influence. Jenna seems to struggle with Adam's later suicide, and has fond memories of who he once was.

Jenna was closer to her grandmother than much of her direct family, often visiting her at the Meseta reservation. Jenna enjoyed hearing stories from her grandmother, especially those involving her interactions over the radio as "the sweetheart of Echo valley." After her grandmother passed away, Jenna and Adam were the only two to attend her funeral. Jenna notes that she was exceptionally touched by all of the truckers who attended to pay their respects, and considers her relationship with her grandmother to be one of the few parts of childhood that she recalls fondly.

### Heather

Heather and Jenna were briefly friends during high school, having bonded over their struggles at home. Jenna would frequently cover for Heather in various ways, but eventually doing so became too much to manage on top of her own problems. After telling Heather this however, the cat spread a rumor about Jenna sleeping with boys all over the school and even sent a group to her house. This led to Jenna becoming the target of heavy bullying throughout the rest of school. Jenna dwelled on this experience long after it happened, even preparing somewhat of a call-out for Heather's actions should they ever meet again.

When Jenna and Heather meet again during Jenna's route, her behavior toward the cat may vary depending on Chase's conversation with Jenna during the previous night regarding the past and people in general. If Chase's responses have been more negative, Jenna will condemn Heather directly and eventually convince Flynn to shoot her at the end of the route. Afterward, Jenna mocks Heather's corpse and steals her plans of the dam in order to flood the town herself. If Chase's responses to Jenna were more positive however, Jenna attempts to ignore the past and encourages Heather to seek help for her struggles with mental health. She may also convince Heather to stand down at her house as well as at the dam later on by reminding her of the people who care about her.

### John Begay

John Begay is Jenna's ancestor. During the events of Carl's route, he possesses Jenna's body in an attempt to prove his innocence in the crimes he was accused of in life. John's presence causes Jenna to become more aggressive toward others, especially Carl, and somewhat detached from reality. Jenna seems to either be unable to resist his influence or somewhat sympathize with his goal, as she is rarely able to break free from her possession throughout the route. Regardless, in the aftermath of Carl's good ending, she is horrified by "her" actions and attempts to explain her possession as a case of psychosis.

### Socket Man

The Socket Man began appearing to Jenna at a young age, especially when her parents were arguing or abusing her and her siblings. After a certain point, Jenna came to consider the creature her "guardian angel" of sorts, though as an adult she convinced herself that it was simply a hallucination manifested in response to her home life. During the events of Jenna's route, she encounters the creature once again and asks for its aid in saving her friends from Brian. During her good ending, Jenna thanks it for watching over her before it disappears as the threat Heather poses is neutralized.

## Trivia

* Jenna's current sprite was originally created purely as a teenage design for Route 65 before being integrated into Echo itself as her main sprite.
* Due to when they take place chronologically, Jenna is referred to as Jasmynn in Route 65 and the short story Phone. Jeremy and Heather also consistently call her Jasmynn.
* Jenna's route is the only storyline that is impacted by a choice made in the prologue; whatever Chase tells Jenna about his sexuality at Southwest Adventures will affect whether they pursue a romantic relationship later.
* Jenna is the only of the lead characters whose path in the game ends with with Chase going into a committed romantic relationship.
* Jenna's species, and that of other desert foxes in the setting, is portrayed somewhat inconsistently. She and other Meseta characters are described both as fennecs and kit foxes, which in reality are distinct species but in Echo's narration are used interchangeably. Because Jenna's heritage is analogous to southwestern Native American culture, she is most likely intended to be a kit fox, since they unlike fennecs are native to the Americas.
* Jenna's eyes used to be violet-colored, but were changed to turquoise partway through Echo's development.
* Jenna's favorite novel is *Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World* by Haruki Murakami.
