Jenny was the companion to (and maid of) the Silurian Madame Vastra. They operated from London, in the late 19th century. Jenny and Vastra were romantically involved with one another; she got quite jealous when Vastra showed interest in other people.
Jenny intially worked as a match girl. She first met Vastra when she was attacked and molested by the Tongs. Out of work, Vastra decided to hire Jenny as her maid, companion and romantic partner.
On one occasion, Jenny helped the Doctor to defeat a Kraal plot to replace Prince Bertie with an android duplicate while Vastra was in Egypt. (REF: The Brilliant Book 2012)
Among the many allies the Doctor had recruited, she along with her lover were among the few to survive the attack of the headless monks. She displayed excellent skills with a sword during the battle. She comforted Amy Pond afterwards, and later returned to her own time with Vastra. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)
Following their return to their own time, Vastra and Jenny were added to the Papal Mainframe "most wanted" list. (REF: The Brilliant Book 2012)
At one point, she and Vastra battled a CyberNeomorph. (REF: The Brilliant Book 2012)
Behind the scenes
- Since their appearance, Vastra and Jenny became popular characters in fandom, with fans wishing for a spin-off series to be made based on their adventures. Steven Moffat addressed this, saying that he considered making a spin-off when he created the two characters, but wouldn't have the time, though he said he would like to revisit them. [1]
