The then nameless Jenny pushed a button which triggered an explosion, collapsing the tunnel and cutting the group off from the Hath and Martha. Shortly after, Jenny was named by Donna from the Doctor's description of her as a "generated anomaly." Jenny's commander, [[Cobb (The Doctor's Daughter)|Cobb]], imprisoned the Doctor, Donna, and Jenny where Donna proved that Jenny was indeed the Doctor's daughter by listening to her [[binary vascular system]]. However, the Doctor insisted that she was nothing more than an "echo" and that a "real" [[Time Lord]] was "so much more." | The then nameless Jenny pushed a button which triggered an explosion, collapsing the tunnel and cutting the group off from the Hath and Martha.

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. | 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.

Believing her to be dead, the Doctor left the planet. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)}}) While she was shot through one of her twin hearts, as she was not a Time Lord she was unable to [[regenerate]] and recover from her fatal injury. However, due to her death being in close proximity to the Source, its gaseous compound revived her.

She then 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."

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.

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 [[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]]'') | ||

Arriving in the [[Old West]] Jenny was seemingly mistaken for a criminal identical in appearance to her and they discovered a crystal which caused bad luck. In the ensuing events the crystal caused Jenny to accidentally travel back in time three months, forcing her to become the infamous criminal she'd been mistaken for and arrange events to ensure her younger self fell back in time. With the paradox resolved, she and Noah escaped, leaving the crystal on a crashing train.

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.

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 consecutive 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.

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.

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]].
