**Jennifer Caroline "Jenny" Bennett** is a supporting character in Jonah Campbell's 2024 animated film, *The Empire State Express*. She's an 11-year-old girl who's a student and works as the class president in Westbrook Preparatory School.

## Background:

### Personality:

Jenny is an intelligent girl as she is able to use her intellect to find her way out of Santa Claus's workshop in the North Pole. Jenny at first didn't like DJ or Chowder when she first met them, but she soon warmed up to them and eventually befriended them.

Jenny also has a romantic, soft side toward DJ, which is proven when she kisses him passionately.

### Physical appearance:

Jenny has fair skin, orange hair done up into braided pigtails with red ribbons, and green eyes. She wears a white T-shirt with a black jumper skirt, white knee socks and black Mary-Jane shoes.

## Appearances:

### *The Empire State Express*

Jenny makes her first appearance in *The Empire State Express* as a supporting character. Like many of the other passengers on the train, she has a very small role in the ultimate story. She also has very limited dialogue in the film due to her voice actress, Spencer Locke, being physically unavailable and too old to reprise her voice role of Jenny's original counterpart from *Monster House* in which voice clips of Locke from the video game based on the film were used.

Jenny lives close to where Pablo and Tyrone used to live at 21453 Olympia Avenue in Vyondville, Washington. Both her family and friends live in poverty, as depicted in the film. Her house is described as being "on the other side of the tracks" to the other houses in town, and her appearance, along with DJ's and Chowder's, is much simpler and poorer than her friends. Jenny doesn't have much faith in Christmas because her parents lack the money to buy her presents. Her house is more run down than the other houses in the neighborhood, and her Christmas tree is more sparse and smaller than that of Pablo and Tyrone. DJ, Chowder, and Jenny are all reluctant to make friends as they feel intimidated by the other people's wealth and afraid of what they'll think of them if they realize they're all poor.
