Jennifer "Jenny" Calendar was a former teacher at Sunnydale High School[1] and ex-girlfriend of Rupert Giles[2] in the universe without shrimp.[3]

Biography[]

According to Rupert, Jenny knew "quite a few magic tricks." Indeed, she was able to perform a ritual that contained a recently sired Xander into a protective circle.[1] She stayed with him maintaining the spell until he was re-ensouled, meanwhile discussing with Rupert about Buffy's burden as the Slayer and his supportive role as her Watcher.[4]

In October 2019, Jenny accompanied Rupert in the opening of an Egyptian exhibition, when she met Joyce Summers, Buffy's mother and the exhibition's curator, and her partner Eric. There, she found the Dagger of Sekhmet, which Rupert recognized as the weapon Xander had described as the key for Drusilla to open the Hellmouth. Suddenly, the vampire herself crashed the party, demanding the dagger and making her first victims.[5]

Joyce identified herself as the curator, but the object had disappeared, so she would be the first victim until the dagger was found. While Rupert kept quiet with the dagger inside his suit, Jenny confessed he had hidden it before Spike was able to bite Joyce. With the dagger in her hands, Drusilla told the Watcher he had chosen correctly in nearly allowing the murder, but his company was weak.[5] As the floor cracked beneath them with the activated Hellmouth, Jenny and Rupert led Joyce and Eric to safety.[6]

The event brought up Jenny and Rupert's conflicting views, and since then she began ignoring him. He went to her home, and Jenny demanded that he'd leave her alone. After noticing his fever, they talked about his choice that night, and she concluded there were more important things for him to focus on, so he should get out of her house.[7]

Giles' exacerbated anger was result of the Hellmother's growing influence over the men of Sunnydale, which culminated in a horde of men attempting to enter the Tunaverse, where the remaining Scoobies had sought refuge. Jenny noticed the strange commotion of men marching by her house's porch and a bean of light over the restaurant. As Willow magically overpowered Hellmother's horde, Jenny arrived mounted on the Camazotz, offering backup. Willow, Cordelia, Anyanka, and Kendra took the ride, and together they flew away from the Tunaverse.[8]

After the Scoobies averted the Hellmouth crisis, Jenny talked with Giles again about his role beside Buffy and the newly activated Kendra. She argued with him that, while the Slayers sacrifice their lives for their duty, Giles as a Watcher got to be away from danger and have a long life. Leaving his apartment, Jenny told Giles that this didn't feel right and she couldn't be part of it anymore.[9]

While Jenny was alone in her home, Xander, then soulless, captured her and set the house on fire. Giles rescued Jenny's cat, Dolly,[10] but Xander had already taken Jenny to his underground hideout. He kept her chained and forced her to brew a potion for him, but she was unsuccessful.[11] Looking for Jenny, Willow astral projected to talk to Xander and convince him to free her.[12] Freed, Jenny went to Giles's apartment, where he tended to her wounds. She described Xander as sad, alone, and desperate for his friend's attention. Giles disagreed with her, and Jenny told him she was leaving Sunnydale because she didn't have the heart to be "a pawn in these games."[2]
