During [[human-Hath War|a short war]] on the [[planet]] [[Messaline]] between [[human]]s and [[Hath]], both sides used progenation machines. These could create mentally programmed adults from a single DNA sample, making the donor both "biological mother and father". When the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Donna Noble]], and [[Martha Jones]] arrived on Messaline, Jenny was made from a [[skin]] sample taken from the Doctor without his permission. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')

By kissing [[Cline]] and stealing his [[pistol]], Jenny was able to allow them to escape, impressing the Doctor with her capability, even if he didn't care for her inclination towards violence, having to later convince her not to kill Cobb. As the three of them made their way through Messaline, Jenny spoke with the Doctor about the possibility of travelling with him, and he told her that he would never leave her. The Doctor told the respective parties to end the war, whereupon General Cobb aimed his gun and shot at him, Jenny jumping in the way of the bullet. She was shot through one of her hearts, but she did not [[regenerate]], so she died.

However, after her father left the planet, Jenny was revived by [[the Source (The Doctor's Daughter)|the Source]]. She stole [[Jenny's shuttle|a shuttlecraft]] and left Messaline. When asked where she was going, she restated Donna's earlier description of the Doctor's life: "Oh, I've got the whole universe: planets to save, civilisations to rescue, creatures to defeat — and an awful lot of running to do." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')

Travelling around in [[Jenny's bowship|her bowship]], Jenny tracked the progress of a [[white hole]] to the planet [[Sultath]], where she encountered [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Tara Mishra]]. Failing to save them, she flew after them into the white hole, becoming trapped herself. She was saved by the [[Fifth Doctor]] who in doing so, was sucked in himself. Jenny tracked [[the Doctor|her father]] through multiple [[incarnation]]s. but he rarely stayed in one place long enough for her to make contact with him. She managed to track the [[Eleventh Doctor]] to the [[Siege of Trenzalore]] but was unable to contact him owing to [[Trenzalore force field|the force field]] that the [[Papal Mainframe]] had established. Jenny then travelled to [[St Luke's University]], another of the few places the Doctor was sedentary, where she met the [[Twelfth Doctor]] to get his help. As she told him what had happened, her bowship was analysed by [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] personnel, [[the Void]] energy saturating its hull infecting [[Kate Stewart]] and [[Patronella Osgood|Osgood]]. Immune to the white energy thanks to being [[time travel]]lers, the Doctor, Jenny, [[Bill Potts]] and [[Nardole]] entered the TARDIS, only to find that it merged with the version occupied by the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Gabby Gonzalez]] and [[Cindy Wu]], grounding the ship. Ejecting themselves, the group emerged on the university's lawn, finding a white hole that threatened to devour the planet before the [[Ninth Doctor]] saved them from the possessed students. Though the group tried to use his TARDIS to escape, it too had merged with its other selves before the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Josie Day]] emerged from it. Deciding to use the bowship, the Ninth, Tenth, and Twelfth Doctors flew into the portal to discover the source of the threat. Left to hold the line, Jenny rallied the companions to hold off the possessed forces before the threat passed. Deprived of her bowship, Jenny was returned to her proper time and place by the Ninth Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')

Another account implied the Doctor was unaware of her survival, as the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] told the soon to be formed [[Team TARDIS]] that her "entire family had died" a long time prior. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')

When the COLT-5000 caught up with them again, Jenny linked her manipulator to its timeline and travelled back with Noah to try to avert its creation. They discovered it was formerly a woman called Geraldine and that the cyborgs were created from people who voiced disatisfaction with their lives in an audit on her world. Jenny took Geraldine further back to show her the positive impact she'd had over her life so she'd pass the audit. Jenny then returned Geraldine to the audit realising the progressive? trips had damaged the manipulator so it could only make one more trip. As security closed in on them for disrupting the audit, Jenny hurriedly attempted to escape with the manipulator but accidentally took Geraldine instead of Noah. Back where they'd been cornered by the COLT-5000, she was horrified to discover that Noah had now become the cyborg in Geraldine's place. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Her Own Worst Enemy (audio story)|Her Own Worst Enemy]]'')

After she “bounced” off the Time War, Jenny arrived in the far future near the [[end of the universe]]. There she encountered her father, in the midst of a [[Retro-regeneration|degeneration]] crisis causing him to take form of the [[Fifth Doctor]], at the [[Final Gallery]], with proximity to her DNA helping him remain stable. Together they went in search of the artist of the works at the Final Gallery as it appeared he was destroying worlds after creating art of them. They discovered the artist was [[the Curator]] and helped him uncover the truth about his apparent curse, which was that the Final Gallery was itself destroying the worlds after stealing his art to sell, driving up the art’s value. After stopping the Final Gallery, the Curator showed Jenny his first work of art in its ruins; a painting of [[Gallifrey]]. Jenny stayed behind with the Curator whilst her father departed the far future. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Artist at the End of Time (audio story)|The Artist at the End of Time]]'')

[[Davros]] tried to manipulate and hurt the Doctor when he moved the [[Earth]] to the [[Medusa Cascade]] by asking the Doctor how many people had died in his name. Jenny was one of the people the Doctor thought of, as he was unaware of her revival. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')

While trying to convince the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] that she was the Doctor, [[Clara Oswald]] noted among his family a non-[[Gallifrey]]an daughter created via genetic transfer. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'')

She was delighted at the prospects of travelling in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with her father. After her revival, she seemed very excited about travelling the universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'') She later expressed the desire to visit everywhere in the universe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Stolen Goods (audio story)|Stolen Goods]]'')

Being biologically [[the Doctor's species|the same species]] as the Doctor, Jenny had two [[heart]]s, as well as reflexes, precision timing, and acrobatic ability far beyond that of an average [[human]]. At first, the [[Tenth Doctor]] flatly denied that she should be considered a [[Time Lord]] because she lacked the shared culture, code, and [[knowledge]]. However, as he later admitted to [[Donna Noble|Donna]], "when I look at [Jenny] now, I can see them. The hole they left, all the pain that filled it. Just don't know if I can face that every day." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'') Jenny was able to sense temporal events before they happened, and knew instinctively how to pilot [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Relative Time (audio story)|Relative Time]]'')

The presence of Jenny drew [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to [[Messaline]], [[paradox]]ically before her creation, so that she, in effect, caused herself to exist. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'')

* In the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s flashbacks during ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', Jenny's "death" is emphasised by being the only one that has its original sound clip attached: the sound of the shot that "killed" her.
