Profile
Biography
A short war waged on the planet Messaline between Humans and Hath. The Humans (and possibly the Hath as well) used progenation machines to instantly create mentally programmed young adult out of the DNA of a single parent. When the Doctor (with Donna and Martha) arrived on Messaline, he had Jenny made from him against his will from a small skin sample just prior to an ambush by Hath.
The then-nameless Jenny pushed a button which triggered an explosion, causing the collapse of the tunnel that cut the group off from the Hath and from Martha. Shortly after, Jenny, was named by the Doctor's companion Donna Noble from the Doctor's original description of her as a 'generated anomaly'.
Jenny's commander, Cobb, had Jenny locked up with the Doctor and Donna. While in this cell, Donna proved to the Doctor that Jenny was indeed his daughter; she listened to Jenny's heartbeat and found that, like the Doctor, she had two hearts. Jenny helped the others by kissing Cline and then taking his pistol. The Doctor found his daughter very capable though inclined towards violence, though convinced her not to kill Cobb when she had the chance.
As the three of them made their way towards the Source, which Cobb and the Hath both sought, Jenny spoke with the Doctor about the possibility of traveling 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 here showed her compassion by standing in the way of the bullet. She was shot through one of her hearts, and died, but did not regenerate.
While laying in state, however, Jenny returned to life, stole a shuttlecraft and left Messaline, determined to find, and to save other worlds. (DW: The Doctor's Daughter)

Like her father, Jenny has two hearts. She also had reflexes and acrobatic ability far beyond that of almost any Human. After her death, she shortly returned to life, expelling a "breath" of pure energy, though, unlike other Time Lords undergoing regeneration, she did not change physically.
- This could be speculated to be either an equivalent of a Time Lord's post-regenerative healing ability, or an effect of dying while in proximity of the Source.
- Jenny's fantastic sense of timing and precision was probably Time Lord in origin. The Doctor himself previously having demonstrated a life-saving sense of time (DW: The End of the World) and amongst other physical skills, precise aim (DW: Black Orchid, Four to Doomsday, The Christmas Invasion and Human Nature).
