Jenny Jeffers

**Jennifer Huntingdon Jeffers**, also known as **Jennifer Jeffers** or **Jenny Jeffers** is a syndicated television journalist who appears in Ken Bailey's *THE MIGHTY ENERGYGIRL* and *MARI SOLINSKI and the WONDER KITTY*.

## Background

Jenny Jeffers is a noted journalist and television personality who is the host of The Jenny Jeffers Show, which is a syndicated national program run under the guise of McFarland Communications, which is run by one Robert "Biff" McFarland. McFarland's connections and influence have greatly expanded the show's coverage and has prompted wider interviews which have allowed Jenny Jeffers to travel the world in search of more and more sensational news.

## Personality

Jeffers' personality can best be described as "complicated." To many of her viewers and fans she seems personable and mild tempered, however, her private interactions have been so curt and, at times, downright ambitious and arrogant that many fans have been "turned off." That said, this phenomenon does not seem to effect Jeffers' popularity usually resulting in other people defending her against those who have been thusly slighted.

## Association with Mari and Niko

For much of the initial run of Mari Solinski and the Wonder Kitty, Jennie Jeffers does not have direct contact with Mari and Niko. There are situations where she is usually present, such as in The Prisoner Agenda where she is among the crowd covering the Coronation of Queen Maria Von Arthur in "on location" in Ruritania for her show.

It would be safe to say that Mari and Niko are more aware of Jenny than Jenney is aware of the girls, at least in the first few story arcs. This can be attributed to the fact that W*hatever it Takes by Jennifer H. Jeffers* was one of their study textbooks during their college days and Mari kept a copy of it in her work area.

In a more "direct" sense Jenny temporarily comes in contact with Mari and Niko when the girls are facing court martial in The Heist. Jenny is at Seeligson A.F.B. to cover the trial and seems to be spinning sensationalized news story about the girls. It is assumed that she lost interest or otherwise dropped the story angle when the girls were acquitted.

## Appearances

Jenny Jeffers makes several appearances in the first four story arcs of MS&TWK with he role increasing each time. First she is seems among background characters at Streslau Cathedral in The Prisoner Agenda, Part I. Later she is seen in a larger role in The Heist covering the court martial of Mari Solinski and Zandra Niko.

## Character History and Commentary

Jenny Jeffers is a character from Ken Bailey's *THE MIGHTY ENERGYGIRL* comic where she plays the role of quasi-antagonist albeit not quite a villain. Jeffers was the first character to make a "crossover" from *E-GIRL* to *MS&TWK* due to the similar thread of journalism woven into both stories. Jenny in two ways, 1. exposition conduit and 2, potential foil for Lion Gazette characters, especially Peggy O'Shea. O'Shea tends to play a similar role, however, it may prove that Peggy is more caring than she lets on whereas Jeffers seems to be a bit more acerbic.

As for O'Shea's view of the matter, she commented on Jeffers along with her fellow journalists Dr. Lola Alotta and Alexandra Sevilla in The Heist.
