Jen Rijkers

## Jennifer Rijkers

**Jennifer "Jen" Rijkers** is the main antagonist in the third season of *Slasher*. She is portrayed by Mercedes Morris.

## Background

Jen attends high school with her best friend Saadia Jalalzai, with the two secretly planning to attend the annual Solstice Party with Saadia's parents away for her brother's graduation. But after the Druid's killings, Jen and Saadia become apprehensive until Jen's brother: Connor Rijkers, convinces them to go.

## History

Jen and Connor once lived with their two mothers, Justine Rijkers (their biological mother), and Amber Ciotti (their stepmother). Further family relations are unknown.

While living at the Clayborne Apartments, they were treated harshly by Dan Olenski though mostly unbothered. However, after Justine posts a picture of Kit's body alongside the quote, *"You reap what you sow"*, the family is berated online and tormented even further by fellow residents of Clayborne, and students at Jen's school.

It wasn't until several months later that Justine Rijkers committed suicide by self-immolation. A month after her death, Connor threatens to kill himself by jumping off the top story of their apartment. However, Jen manages to talk him down. At some point afterward, both Jen and Connor plan to use the Druid persona to kill everyone in Clayborne.

## Death

After drugging, strapping Saadia onto a chair in her kitchen, explaining her motives for assuming the Druid's mantle, and stabbing her stepmother to death, Jen went down into the furnace area of the building to check up on her brother. To her surprise, she found Angel Lopez dead on the floor with both arms burned, and her brother's half-burnt body inside the furnace. As she started crying and mourning her brother's demise, she noticed Dan still alive, holding an axe, and both began fighting.

Unbeknownst to her, however, Saadia had managed to break free from her restraints and was making her escape from the building, but decided to go down to the Furnace after hearing Dan's screams. When Saadia arrived, she quickly grabbed the axe from Dan's hands and told him to run for his life and he complied, albeit reluctantly. Jen and Saadia began fighting and yelling at each other, with the former managing to slash the latter multiple times and even stick her pocket knife into her left shoulder. Saadia retaliated by throwing the axe into Jen's left leg, and she fell to the ground, as Saadia left the room, she began screaming for her to get back.

After managing to get up and into the elevator, an enraged Jen found Saadia making her escape alongside Dan, she grabbed the same machete she used to murder Charlie and began charging at the two, albeit slowed down by her leg injury. Realizing both of their lives were on the line, Saadia, in a last-ditch effort, managed to snatch a fire extinguisher off the corridor wall and threw it at Jen. The impact caused the machete the latter was wielding to get stuck into her neck and chest, and she fell down as blood started pooling around her. After a tearful conversation as Jen thanked Saadia for being the only one in the entire building who wasn't hostile to her family and who actively tried to help them, the latter revealed that she was the one who reblogged her mother's posting of Kit's death and made the situation spiral out of control and how sorry she was about that. Shocked by the truth, Jen's eyes widened, but she ultimately succumbed to her injuries, and died on the corridor floor.
