* SmugSuper: Has a high opinion of shifters like herself and Jenny Everywhere, which the latter decries as "elitist".

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationOriginConnection: Here, she is put at odds with our Jenny because she's the Man in Grey's top enforcer and works for the [[EvilInc Altern Corporation]]. This has no precedent in other Jenny Everywhere media, where Nowhere typically works alone and goes after Jenny for her own reasons.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalJobChange: The first iteration of the Man in Grey, and his sole AlternateSelf introduced prior to the webcomic, were both in charge of the benign and low-scale Multidimensional Finders Service, not the Altern Corporation's CorruptCorporateExecutive.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The version of the Man in Grey seen in ''The Nine-Two-Five Universe'' was something of a BadBoss, but also had his {{Adorkable}} moments, and didn't have a particular agenda beyond making the Multidimensional Finders Service a success as a business (by whatever ambiguous metric he measures success given that there's no visible way for its operations to make money). Additionally, he was a mid-level enforcer for the [[EldritchAbomination Great Higher-Ups]] rather than a BigBad in himself.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Here, he runs the [[EvilInc Altern Corporation]] which employs Laura Drake, and is Jenny Nowhere's boss. This has no precedent in other Jenny Everywhere media, where all three of these elements had historically been unrelated. See also AdaptationalJobChange and AdaptationalVillainy above.

* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Describes herself as a "physics graduate", but she apparently moonlights as an engineer, having designed a bespoke flying vehicle for herself (the Bubblecopter). She is, however, [[NotThatKindOfDoctor not a licensed psychiatrist]], although she once used ExactWords to temporarily make Jenny believe otherwise.


Added DiffLines:

* TheHeavy: Apparently the Man in Grey's top agent, whom he calls in to "take Jenny into custody" after realising how strong she's become. She is, however, not TheDragon.

[[caption-width-right:350:"''Ah, Doctor Drake. And I had such hopes for you, too… but I suppose you have a heart after all.''"]]
A mysterious, [[DeliberatelyMonochrome gray]] man who runs the Altern Corporation.
* BigBad: He's been watching Jenny and Laura all along, financed the latter's experiments, and is the one to send Nowhere after Jenny in Chapter 2.
* CardCarryingVillain: Bemoans that Laura Drake turned out to "have a heart after all" while talking to himself.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Jenny doesn't trust Altern to use Laura's discoveries for good, and doesn't want anything to do with them, even without knowing anything about the big man himself. It quickly turns out the Man in Grey is even more unscrupulous than she suspects, spying on her and Laura and having no hesitation about planning to abduct Jenny and to intimidate Laura into compliance with his plans.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: His outfit, hair and ''skin'', as well as his [[PaintingTheMedium speech bubbles]], are all in shades of grey.
* PaintingTheMedium: His speech bubble are gray and written a different, more archaic font from the regular characters'.
* PointyEars: His most obvious sign of non-humanity, though you'd be able to tell either way. Quite what he is has yet to be revealed.
* VileVillainLaughableLackey: With Colonel Major. The Man in Grey is monochrome and serious as a heart attack while the Colonel is a rotund, comical, colourful mook.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Crazy, right? They all ''look'' different, but somehow, I ''know'' they're me."]]
An infinity of [[AlternateSelf other versions]] of Jenny, who she starts glimpsing in her dreams starting in Chapter 2.
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Among the Jennies are a dragon and an earthworm, both of whom only wear a scarf and goggles.
* AllianceOfAlternates: Our Jenny doesn't know what's going on, but the group of Jennies all seem to be consciously hanging out in the dream-scape, possibly having gathered to greet our Jenny.
* AlternateSelf: Despite their different appearances, they're all alternative versions of Jenny.
* AnimalMotifs: They share our Jenny's association with butterflies: in her dream, she first perceives them as a swarm of butterflies of various colours and sizes before adjusting her perspective and realising they're other versions of her.
* CameoCluster: In addition to various original incarnations, the establishing shot of the alternative Jennies includes several established versions of Jenny from other media, including the "Parallax Universe" Jenny from Scott Sanford's short stories, the nudist version seen in ''Webcomic/TheBarePit'' and ''Webcomic/TalesToBehold'', and the 38167th Universe's Jenny from ''Literature/TheCrewOfTheCopperColoredCupids''. There's also a version who looks distinctly like [[ComicBook/TheAdventuresOfTintin a genderbent, goggles-wearing Tintin]].
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Visible in the background, one Jenny is a blue dragon with a long, serpentine body, two fin-like wings, and two legs. She's still wearing a scarf and goggles.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: One of the Jennies appears to be a goblin. She has light green skin, spiky forest-green hair, pointy ears, and a small pointy nose.

[[folder: Jenny Nowhere]]
A mysterious woman who spells bad news to our Jenny — first seen as a guest in attendance at the public demo of the Triangular Bisector that started it all.
* BadassCape: A midnight-blue gone going down to her waist.
* CreepyBlueEyes: ''Intensely'' blue eyes, drawn [[EmptyEyes without pupils]] for extra unsettling effort, that go with her entirely blue wardrobe.
* EarlyBirdCameo: As revealed by her design being identified as Jenny Nowhere on the cover of Chapter 2, she was one of the unnamed museum guests watching Laura's demo in one panel of Chapter 1.
* EmptyEyes: Her irises are solid blue, without pupils, giving them a hollow look that accentuates the nihilistic hopelessness typical of a version of Jenny Nowhere.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: A classic example, covering her eyelid and her lower eyeshadow, in dark blue.
* HighCollarOfDoom: Part of her royal-blue BadassCape.
