Jenny and Lisa

Jenny and Lisa is a friendship and sometimes rivalry seen in Carter Corp.

## Overview

Jenny and Lisa is a friendship consisting of Jenny Blake and Lisa Parker seen in Ryan Carter's story route and a sometimes rivalry in Gabriel Simons' story route. Lisa and Jenny officially met in Ryan's season 2 and got along due to their common interests and mutual friends.

Their friendship in Ryan's route is a very rare friendship in the Is it Love? series, as there aren't a lot of lasting female friendships in the series that consist of 2 women that aren't the main character. Lisa and Jenny get along very well in Ryan's route, and they both went dressing shopping with the player when she was picking out her wedding dress. The two are the player's most trusted friends and share that bond of being there for her together and they both even attended Ryan and the player's wedding.

However, in Gabriel story route, their relationship is a little different. At first, the two got a long perfectly fine and seemed like they were going to revive the friendship they were seen to have in Ryan's route, as they would usually go to Starlite together and have fun, but things turned out much differently. After a while the two didn't seem to like each other at all and would only be around each other for the sake of the player or work, since they were both her friends and worked at the same place. But they would usually only hang out with the player separately and not together due to the tension they had, in contrast to Ryan's route. Jenny would sometimes even tell the player to invite Lisa over if the two were hanging out alone, despite clearly not meaning it and not wanting her to be there. While Lisa was honest and never wanted her to come over if they were hanging out alone.

Lisa seemed to be jealous of Jenny and everything she had or got, and believed that she stole Jake Stewart from her and ruined her chances with him, and was also afraid that she would steal the player as her best friend too, as Jenny always seemed to intervene in a lot of their time together and in general. Lisa even called Jenny the enemy one time when she heard that the player was hanging out with her. Lisa didn't trust Jenny at all, but as seen in certain scenes, it's clear why and that feeling could be considered justified. Jenny seemed to be jealous of Lisa sometimes too, especially when she believed that Lisa was dating Jake and didn't care for her too much.

They would sometimes not be nice to each other which would make things awkward for the player. Jenny sometimes seemed like she felt inferior as being the player's friend, as it was obvious that Lisa was her true best friend, which is especially evident in the bad ending where the player stops being Jenny's friend and comes to not like her anymore while remaining best friends with Lisa and giving her the key to her apartment.

Lisa and Jenny have a much better and closer friendship in Ryan's route compared to it in Gabriel's route. Despite not likening each other in Gabriel's route, they don't actually seem to hate each other and put their differences aside when it comes to the player, showing that they have common ground and sometimes mutual respect. The breaking point of their failed friendship in Gabriel's route was Jake Stewart sadly, as a guy came in between their potential friendship.

Luckily though, they still are great friends in Ryan's route in both seasons 2 and 3, and seem to still share interests, especially since they aren't fighting over the same guy. The two are both good friends of the player in Ryan and Gabriel's routes, but it's apparent that Lisa seems to be the more preferred character and friend out of the two, by both Ryan and Gabriel's main characters and by the fans in both story routes, as Lisa is mostly well received by fans while Jenny has mixed reviews, despite Jenny being the player's sister in-law in Ryan's route.

## Trivia

* They have both had an interest in Jake Stewart at some point.
* They have both taken on the role as the best friend type character in different routes (Jenny in Mark Leviels' and Lisa in all story routes except for Mark and Joe Kicks'.
* They both have 4 hairstyles.
* Jenny is Ryan's child's godmother (meaning that if anything were to happen to him and the player, she and Jake would gain custody of their child and take care of him), if anything were to happen to Jenny and Jake, Lisa would more than likely become Ryan's child's new godmother (along with Matt Ortega being the backup godfather).
