Biography
When Jenny was two-years old, she kissed Nate, leading Nate to believe Jenny liked him. Jenny explained that in preschool, she would chase all the boys around the preschool, and when she caught up, she kissed them, telling Nate that it just meant she could run faster than him.
In 2004, Jenny Jenkins met Artur Pashkov, beginning a long and fateful relationship in 2008. In first grade, Nate developed a crush on Jenny. Although she used to be very mean to him, she eventually became more civil towards him, while Nate did the same.
Jenny also took part in the school dance and, the following week, the Ultimate Snowdown, which was intended to defeat Jefferson Middle School after seven years.
In "Big Nate: What's a Little Noogie Between Friends?" Jenny moves to Seattle, Washington because her mother was relocated in her job, and Artur and Jenny break up while this happens because they know they will never see each other again. Jenny also hugs Nate before she walks off and tells him he was never a really bad person.
Personality and Traits
Jenny was the love interest of Nate, who wished that one day she will dump Artur and start dating him instead. However, Nate is over Jenny. She has had a very long relationship with Artur and they currently still go out.
She has also shown to be polite and hard-working. She usually freaks out whenever something bad happens to her (i.e. Nate accidentally trips and splashes egg salad on Jenny's hair, causing her to go berserk). She is also short-tempered and very hot-headed, probably because a Virgo likes things exacting. She is noticeably nicer to Nate now and finally considers him as a friend after Nate moves on.
