Jenny

Jenny is a reformed mermaid who teaches Modest magic. She is Jake's enemy.

## History

Jenny is a mermaid from Yeld. She and her best friend, Deb, grew up as sisters and, like most mermaids, enjoyed smoking and gossiping. When they were annoyed by a young Modest tricked Medusa through a portal to Earth. When Modest's Mother found out she forced the mermaids to wait for Modest to return. When Jake came through the portal Jenny and Deb drowned him and he died. (He got better, via resurrection magic.)

When Modest and Marah showed up in Yeld, Jenny and Deb tried to capture Modest, but Marah attacked them. During the course of the fight Deb was turned to stone by Modest's hair and Jenny lost an eye when Marah slashed at the mermaid with a knife.

When Marah was searching for magical artifacts she could use to rescue Modest, Jenny tried getting revenge, blaming Marah for her missing eye. Marah explained some hard truths to Jenny and the mermaid gave up her revenge.  When word began to spread that Marah had died fighting the Vampire Prince, but had won their duel by drawing first blood to rescue Modest, Jenny realized she had to make changes in her life.

Jenny was approached by the Hand of Autumn who told her about Modest's aunt, who might know the magic to cure Deb's petrification. Jenny then made a deal with Naga to bring Modest back to Yeld. Jenny went to Earth, used magic to grow legs, and demanded sanctuary from the princess of Yeld. She visited Marah's mother and explained that as a result of Marah's victory the people of Yeld experienced hope for the first time and it had changed everything.  She then moved in with Marah's mother due to their common interests.

Jenny convinced Modest to return to Yeld. Now with the cure, Jenny left Modest to Shin's care and went to make Deb flesh again. But Deb's statue was gone. Jenny was attacked by the Mermaids of the Deep, including a cured Deb, who accused Jenny of disloyalty. Jenny admitted that she was now loyal to Modest, having learned that Modest was eligible to rule Yeld and becoming fond of the young snake girl. As the mermaids prepared to kill Jenny, Shin and a group of Oath Breakers showed up and rescued her. Deb, furious that Jenny left her as stone for months to spend time with Modest, began to kill her friend, but was severely wounded by one of the Oath Breakers. Jenny begged her friend to stay, but Deb escaped with the rest of the mermaids.

Jenny then fetched Modest to return to Earth, where she began to teach Modest magic so that Modest could take over Yeld one day. This became common knowledge and Jenny met many of her neighbors.

Jenny was made a teacher at Modest's school so that she could guard the kids in case any other magical threats came after them. She was officially made a PE teacher due to her enjoyment of soccer.
