## Jenny

**Jenny** is a character in the cartoon *Wayside*. She is one of the many students in Mrs. Jewls's class. She is a close friend of Maurecia, and often performs extreme stunts with her on her bicycle.

## Appearance

In the cartoon, Jenny is a girl with a round head with blonde hair. She has light skin, eyes with eyelashes, and a fairly large nose. She wears a red scarf, a white daredevil outfit with a zipper, a gold star, and two horizontal red and blue stripes, blue gloves, and high-heel shoes. She is often seen with a white motorcycle helmet with red and blue vertical stripes and a gold star, resembling the pattern on her outfit. This helmet has a retractable visor, as shown in "Channel Kidswatter," and she is usually seen riding a bicycle.

## Personality

In the cartoon, Jenny is a very active student, constantly trying to get more out of her life. In "Channel Kidswatter" and "Daring Love," it's shown that Jenny is in a group called Wheels Extreme with Maurecia, and the two enjoy performing extreme stunts whenever possible, if not exclusively for the thrill of it. Todd actually becomes one of her favorite students in Mrs. Jewls's class only because he's the right size to jump over, but she feels confused when Todd believes this means she has a crush on him. She gets annoyed with any interruption to her activity, such as when Todd joins them in jumping over Mr. Kidswatter. In "Dana Checks Out," it is revealed Jenny has visited every floor of Wayside School for the intent of seeing what's around.

Similar to the books, Jenny is an extroverted student, being able to become friends with many of the students in Mrs. Jewls's class. Aside from Maurecia, she has been shown to be friends with Dana, Myron, and Shari, and is willing to help them achieve their goals whenever possible. In "Channel Kidswatter," she takes to taking down Kidswatter's shopping channel, so the Wayside television channel can be handed back to the students, but it's possible she isn't the best at coming up with practical solutions for everything, as she takes down the channel by cutting down the antenna, causing the channel to be available to no one, and she attempts to carry Shari through the Wayside Games in "My Partner Gets All the Credit" on her bike. In "Sideways Protest," she attempts to prevent bike traffic in the halls, but is unaware of the fact she is the only student that regularly rides her bike to school.

While mostly adaptable, she dislikes when people aren't direct with her, such as in "Daring Love," when Todd tries to talk to her as if she has a crush on him. She proceeds to tell Todd that he needs help, and walks away with Myron.
