Jenny is Anna's daughter and Arthur's stepdaughter. She hates Arthur because of the way he treats her mother. She is described as attractive, and is in a few of the same classes as Matt at their high school. She decides she has a crush on Matt after he breaks into her house and tries to squirt her, which is all the more comical because, alongside her mom, she beats him up during the incident. She makes no attempt to hide the fact that she finds Matt attractive in front of Matt's friends, which makes Matt nervous and causes his friends to ridicule him somewhat. Later that day, after they escape Jack, she is taken captive by Snake, and boards the plane with him as a hostage, but attacks him after Monica and Matt fail to take the gun away from him. This gives Eddie the opportunity to throw the briefcase off of the plane. She dates Matt briefly afterwards, but since their parents wind up getting married they decide to stop dating and just become friends, and remain so for the rest of their lives. Jenny is portrayed as attractive, but somewhat offbeat and quirky, since Matt's constant awkwardness towards her is simply met with increasing interest. She is also interested in the same kind of music as Matt, and borrows a CD from him as an excuse to have more contact with him.
