**Jennifer Malone** is one of the strongest Rebel Knights in the series. In the beginning, she was a rebellious teenage daughter of Santo Domingo's Mayor Jack Malone. She and her father had a very strained relationship, which led to her using Grover Jones, her crush, in order to get back at him for sending her to boarding school without discussing it with her. She turned against her father by joining the Rebel Knights in their battle against Lord Dreylock and later, Queen Treachera. Despite earning respect for her bravery and being the strongest fighter, some of the knight mistrusted her for her withholding secrets about herself. She sometimes clashed with Zoe Parker, but she always fought with Grover Jones, which later progressed into the two of them being civil and finally beginning a relationship.

She is portrayed by Chloe Rose.

## Rebel Knights

### Prior to the series

Jennifer was the rebellious teenage daughter of Jack Malone, the mayor of Santo Domingo. Her mother died when she was a little girl, which became the real reason for her turbulent relationship with her father. Things got worse for them when her father had an affair with her former teacher and the two had a daughter, Lucy, Jennifer's half-sister. Jennifer's homelife got worse when her visiting grandfather stayed with them to help her father's political career. Plus, at night, when Jennifer is tucked in bed, her grandfather entered her bedroom and began molesting her. The abuse continued during her grandfather's stay with the Malones. But when Jennifer revealed to her father that her grandfather was molesting her at night, he didn't believe her and shipped her off to boarding school as punishment for telling lies about her grandfather. It was Jennifer's first experience of double betrayal she had seen in her two surviving family members. Although she resented her father for sending her away, she felt free from living in the Malone manor.

A year before the alien invasion, Jennifer returned home to Santo Domingo. She was staying at the last place she would ever stay in, the Malone Manor. Her animosity and troubled relationship towards her father had reached new heights, causing her to use her new boyfriend, Grover Jones, a Santo Domingo High junior to get even with her father. Grover discovers this and breaks up with Jennifer. She would have remorse for her actions.

## Joining the Rebel Knights

After seeing that her father was working for Lord Dreylock, which descended Santo Domingo into a chaotic invasion, Jennifer turned her back on her father and joined a group of freedom fighters called the "Rebel Knights". However, leader Grover Jones wasn't keen on seeing Jennifer, let alone letting her join the group.

When -- tried to kill the knights, Jennifer knocks him out with the butt of an hunting rifle. Later on, she and the other knights along with Brad Morrison and Emily Cox, the two survivors of the 1984 Alien Invasion in Hope Springs, Colorado, were seen in the Santo Domingo High basement with -- tied to a pole. Jennifer used her leftover cigarettes to interrogate -- into who sent him to kill the knights. When his phone ranged, Jennifer answers it for him and threatens to destroy his phone if he made any crazy move. It was President Gerald Cunningham, revealing that he was the one after the Rebel Knights. It was also confirmed that John Collins, the spy that killed Rebel Knight Molly Costello, was also sent by Cunningham. As the knights reel from learning that they have a new threat to contend with, they decided to waste -- and being the leader, it was up to Grover to shoot --.However he lowers his gun. --- taunts him over him not shooting and calls him a coward and a weakling. He continues to taunt the rest of the knights, calling them pathetic, leading Jennifer to pull the trigger on -- twice in the head, leaving the knights shocked and stunned. With everyone staring at her in shock, she replied: "What? I was getting of hearing him talk anyway."

Jennifer confessed to the knights why she jeopardized the mission. She was trying to rescue her half-sister, Lucy. Grover angrily lashed out at her for not telling him or the rest of the knights that she had a sister. Jennifer explained that she had her own personal reasons for not tell her comrades about Lucy as she was trying to protect her sister. She admits that she doesn't like keeping secrets from them and felt guilty about it. Both Grover and Zoe aren't sympathetic towards Jennifer's explanation. Zoe calls Jennifer's story "bullshit", to which Jennifer agrees with, but it was the truth. Grover reminded her that her actions have made them doubt that she would ever be trustworthy again. As Grover leaves, the realization of losing the respect of her fellow knights begins to wave heavily on Jennifer's mind. But when the Queen Treachera sends one of her soldiers to pinpoint the location of the Knights' base, the knights fight the alien. Jennifer begs the others to let her prove herself, and while Grover is hesitant, the rest of the knights insist on giving her a chance. The knights battle against the alien, but it proves to be quite a challenge. Grover, as Power Knight is even taken down, but Jennifer comes through and saves Grover, from a blast wound which Jennifer takes in the right shoulder. Knowing that Jennifer is incapacitated, Grover takes her blaster rifle and shoots the alien down. As Natalie treated her wound, Jennifer tells the knights that even though they are still angry at her for not telling them about Lucy and the secrets she had kept from them since the beginning, she was still on their side and will continue to fight the aliens to the end. Grover forgives her by saying that she came forward with it instead of someone finding out and blabbing it to the rest of the knights.

When Jennifer meets up with her estranged grandfather when he came to visit her father, she is shaken to the core and angered. Things got worse when she sees her grandfather with Mary Jones and panics. She quickly gets Mary away from him and begs her never to go near him again, as a friend. Mary questions Jennifer of her actions towards her grandfather. She couldn't explain her reason, but pleads that if Mary was really her friend, she wouldn't go near her grandfather. Later, when the knights meet up with Jennifer's father and grandfather, she goes crazy towards her grandfather and starts attacking him. Grover, Matt, and Natalie try to restrain her. However, they are forced to leave with Jennifer out of control. Grover reprimands Jennifer of her actions. But she screams at him that he doesn't know the whole story of her problem with her grandfather. Grover reminds her that her problem is she is a rebellious out of control person. Angered, Jennifer slaps Grover and storms off. When the knights were having a meeting about Jennifer's erratic behavior, Grover is unsure about Jennifer staying with them. Mary, who overheard the conversation, disagrees. Telling him that Jennifer is not a bad person. Grover tells Mary about Jennifer's erratic outburst towards her grandfather and attacked him and that he, Natalie and Matt tried to restrain her. Realizing that he doesn't know, Mary breaks Jennifer's promise and reveals her dark secret on why she is hostile towards her grandfather. She tells the knights that Jennifer's grandfather molested her when she was young, and that Jennifer's father knew about it and failed to stop it. The revelation left the knights in shock and disbelief, especially Grover. Mary explained to the knights that when Jennifer was a little girl, her grandfather stayed with her and her father after her mother died. At night, Jennifer's grandfather came into her bedroom to give her a kiss goodnight, however, he would kiss her on the neck and put his hand down her private area. Grover branded Jennifer's grandfather "That Son-of-a-Bitch!" He questions on why Jennifer never told him or the other knights about it. Mary reminds Grover that because he's been cold to her since she used him to get back at her father, Jennifer doesn't consider Grover trustworthy with her dark secret. This leaves Grover to feel guilty about the way he treated Jennifer.
