Characteristics
Toby characterized Jenna as “someone who gets whatever she wants” in their conversation. In the story “Please, Do Talk About Me When I’m Gone,” Jenna agrees to state the monument’s dedication to Alison, although she harbors resentment toward Alison and her friends. She never says anything but pleasant things and mentions Alison’s visit to her in the hospital. She says that Alison helped her become more resilient and more in tune with who she is.
Jenna demonstrates that she can be a little abusive and controlling when she slaps Toby in the face when he promises her that he will “never touch her like that again.” She then asks him who he thinks he is talking to.
Jenna demonstrates that she is capable of being slightly abusive and controlling. When Jenna is in the company of individuals she does not know well and displays a much more melancholy and vulnerable side than usual. She has crafted lovely pottery but is exasperated by the fact that she cannot see anything, not even the shadows it cast when lit.
Novels Storylines
Jenna was compared to Snow White. She had pale skin, long black hair, naturally pink lips, and enormous hazel eyes. She was lovely and tall. Alison called her “Snow” but was cruel. Jenna was calm and pleasant. Her eyes and nose are bruised and wounded when she removes her spectacles. Her stepbrother Toby was suspected.
Alison and her crew made Snow White jokes and gave Jenna apples dipped in toilet water. Hanna called her “pretty in an annoying way,” suggesting the group resented her beauty.
Ali urged the others to help her avenge Jenna’s stepbrother, Toby Cavanaugh, for spying on them while changing one evening. Ali sneaked into the Cavanaughs’ yard, took one of Toby’s pyrotechnics, and inadvertently launched it into his garage. Alison unintentionally sets the garage on fire after seeing Toby and Jenna together. Toby gets expelled after Alison blackmails him into assuming responsibility. The girls later called the infamous incident “The Jenna Thing.”
Jenna reveals to Aria four years later, in the midst of a storm and power outage, that she and Ali orchestrated the fireworks display to get rid of Toby. Jenna warns Aria that her parents threatened to send Toby to boarding school if he kept blowing off fireworks from his tree house. Their strategy worked, but Jenna lost sight and left Rosewood Day for a blind school in Philadelphia. After the second “A” wrecks the girls’ lives, Aria realizes Jenna knows the culprit’s identity. Jenna is murdered by “A” and found dead in her parent’s backyard ditch before Aria can ask her what she knows. Alison DiLaurentis is the new “A” and her murderer in Wanted.
