* DesignatedVictim: What a poor, fragile, unlucky girl.
* EnglishRose: Jennifer presents the intriguing concept of a classic English Rose forced into a ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''-style survival horror environment. Jennifer is a timid, fair, softly-spoken young English woman who seems weak and can be easily pushed about and ordered by others, although this is understandable considering the [[MindScrew situation]] she is forced in. However, she is actually very determined and loyal, being able to endure the bullying and punishments. In this regard, she can be viewed as a [[SilkHidingSteel strong]] character.
