"Physical Description: barely five feet tall, with thick black glasses she only partly needs and a penchant for badly faded Manic Panic hair dye full-coverage wardrobe to hide her often mismatched appendages." Something of an avatar of her generation, Jenny is the very definition of the disinterested hipster, self educated in a half dozen useless skills and utterly unimpressed by the world at large - at least externally.

The truth of the matter is that Jenny Crombie is a deeply flawed woman, scarred by the rejection of her family and a failed, abusive marriage, furious with the inequalities of society, and willing to put her life on the line for those in need despite a generally very practical approach to life. She subsists on income from a series of tedious, part-time job and those willing to purchase her eccentric creations at the local flea market and tries desperately to dodge recognition as the woman responsible for the Revelation.

Though she thinks herself a “zombie” she is, in fact, the first true lich created since the Shambles - a fact that no one but Aoibheall has yet to discover. Due to the flawed nature of her creation she can only inhabit her own corpse, which, while it does not actively rot, can no longer heal on its own, requiring that damaged body parts be replaced - a process that often requires several weeks for the new appendages to slowly adapt to her existing pattern.

Strangely enough, Aoibheall’s stolen eye has never even begun to change and may actually be slowly twisting Jenny’s body to match her own.

"NOTE: Without the influence of Bobbie's baen sidhe nature on Dhananjay's resurrection ritual, it wouldn’t have worked. Or, at the very least, wouldn’t have worked as well as it did."

Bodyheat
Jenny’s body no longer regulates temperature.

Stamina
Jenny no longer experiences fatigue, though the longer she pushes herself, the more Sa is required to sustain her. This can either be produced by her own body by consuming food or taken reflexively from the supply around her.

Faerie Bound
The charms Aoibheall eventually provides to restore Jenny’s circulation and other basic biological functions without resorting to constant replacements actually serve to geas her to the would-be faerie queen and will have to be removed before Jenny can stand against Addison in earnest.

Hysterical Strength
Under extreme duress Jenny's body ceases to register pain, allowing her access to strength considered well beyond the capabilities of ordinary Mortals. A five foot tall woman ripping the arm off a monster or lifting a car certainly qualifies as "beyond ordinary." Unfortunately, doing so causes intense strain on her muscles and without the ability to heal them naturally the damaged tissue must be repaired (resulting in diminished overall capacity) or replaced in their entirety.
