I'm starting to think Jenny might be the craziest of them all

Make sure you can use her by controlling her source. A true friend.

Ah.. none of these ladies have a healthy relationship with magic, do they?

Noa, you went from short and thick to tall and thin. If you want to be stronger, it’s time to find the big-muscles-glyph to add to the symbol.

Further proof of Jenny being evil/crazy - this heavily hints towards her not giving a damn about any of these girls and only seeing them for how they are useful to her.

"That's great but who tf are you??" • Is this the "goth to 50s housewife pipeline" they talked about in Jenny's 2nd appearance? Apparently it's also a short walk from goth to militant... Is Jenny infested with mind spiders? She's got the same tired, focused/obsessed but out of it look Jack had but at she cares more about her appearance. • Going by Noa's hair growth it's been 3 years since she started focusing on herself. At least Annie went to class while she was cheating for 3 years!

Aaaaaaand here we go. Zimmy is endless...sort of

Goodness, she looks downright anemic.

Even more healthy attitudes! The most healthiest attitudes!

Jenny is a bumbum

"good for you" right. Going from healthy in body and mind to skeletal and obsessed, from happy and curious to self hating to the point of inward harm, socialized to alone... Jenny Talent at finding people drowning and pulling them down further shine once again.

Jenny really isn’t a good person. At all. No wonder she suspects Antimony so much. Her and the other witches in her circle are largely amoral, sociopathic, murderous, and power hungry. Jenny probably thinks Antimony is as manipulative and dangerous as she is. Her behaviour in earlier chapters is starting to make a lot more sense.

It seems like every witchcraft student we've seen is sociopathic, and suffering from extreme, untreated mental health issues. Sure, it might just be that Jenny targets sick people to take advantage of, but they don't seem to be massive outliers. What's causing this? Does the witchcraft class naturally attract or promote psychotic behavior? Are certain forms of magic corruptive like Noa's glyphs seem to be? Or is it just the Court not giving a shit, and allowing students to destructively spiral (AGAIN)?

So is Jenny the true villain?

Who'da thunk Jenny would be the twist villain of the final arc? Poor Noa. Poor everybody-about-to-fight-her, to.

IS JENNIE ULTIMATE EVIL BADGUY????????? AM I GETTING MY JANNIE ENDGAME ??? 111 ??!11111!??? 1?!?!?1111???????? IM EXCITED

NOW I WANT A ZARA AND (insert cute goth girl)'S NAME HERE BACKSTORIES TOO YOU HAVE SPOILED ME TOM

that little smirk, oh my, why are these just the worst girls? who we're only meeting now, they're so much fun!

The Court method of childcare has some problems. Annie's dad and Idra were right to point those problems out. Maybe if Jack had a present parental figure, he'd have known how not-ok it was having a girl change herself like Jenny does for him. Maybe things would have turned out differently if Jenny weren't the first person Noa saw after burning a girls hand and sinking into a severe eating and exercise disorder. I reeeally like how Jenny is like the Anti-Annie: bringing people together to synergise their worst powers.

Waaait a second. Is this where I get all disappointed after wanting to believe in Jenny because it turns out she's been siphoning said strength from Zimmy the entire time?

Is it Boxbot???

Ok, bloody hell, Jenny has always been more manipulative than we ever realised...

So, what IS Jenny’s thesis, exactly? She learns about Zimmy’s power and shares her observations with the ‘high priestesses’ of the ‘coven.’ She tells Jack that it’s strictly non-interference and meant to help Zimmy and Gamma. She builds a network she has to maintain and can apparently observe as a large, shining red map or on paper. But if we follow the logic of this page, she views Zimmy as a SOURCE of power, just like the court does to power their Star Ocean. Jenny must imagine Annie handing Zimmy over to the court because she sees Zimmy as a power source, not a person.

She gonna bring her to Gamma, isn',t she,?

Ah, beanstalk status comes from emaciation!

Yep, Janet is the Evil Witch Queen, alright.

Join my cult !! We worship zimmy and plan the end of the world!!!

Oh, yeah, definitely. Nothing says "good for you" like sitting alone, hunched over in the dark, staring at your own emaciated skin and thinking that you're not good enough.

I still hold that this look of Jenny is quite different from her (chronologically) previous appearance, so I think she also altered her body, not just with makeup.

Seems Jenny has had hidden ambitions regarding Zimmy. Pieces are falling into place. Are we looking at a usurper-in-the-making?

Not much to say here, Jenny is an enabler.

The magic made her tall after all?

A lot of comments have called jenny evil and irredeemable before, which I kinda rolled my eyes at. Weird and creepy for trying to look like zimmy? Yes. But assuming Annie/Kat are gonna kill Zimmy was not unreasonable considering Zimmy predicted it out loud to all of them. But THIS really solidified it. There's no coming back from this. Seeing someone in this state and saying it's /good/ for them? That's evil master manipulator right there. She's way worse than I realized. And this source of power... Perhaps Zimmy herself? Maybe that's really why she wants to "protect" Zimmy, to protect her source of power. Maybe Jack doesn't realize this? He did seem uncomfortable at first when she said she was going to study Zimmy for her thesis. Considering all this, it's not at all unreasonable to think Jenny lied to him. (His mind spider was also reactivated or something so obviously he's not thinking clearly now anyways)

Jenny is building her own island of misfit toys, uh, witches. Poor Noa: I wonder what Jenny has in mind for her.

she did not earn it

So kind of jenny to help out! And so supportive of her friends work too. What a good friend looking out for noa

Steroids…

Steroids…

Are we gonna get one actually irredeemable character?

Gollum, gollum!

I like Jenny's outfit.

Noa is giving Simon from Infinity Train house down boots.

Who dat

“Dropping out of school was good for you” omg such a sinister vibe

Jenny! The goth look was good on you, but actually being evil is so not goth.

Sounds like a deal with the devil to me.

Yikes, both obsessed with things. Too obsessed they both are

Jenny, like Annie, has collected a “team,” in a way, over the series. But watching her do it, by looking for people with obsessions and feeding them, is a twisted and manipulative contrast. Or at least highly concerning; I’m still not sure I understand her character. Annie makes plenty of messes, but her character has been challenged to respond with authenticity and emotional maturity in increasingly fraught situations. It’s why the readers root for her and why her “teammates” respect her genuinely, or love her.

Hmm. I hope you're not one of those people to see Zimmy as an energy source, because that would suck.

How similar to what she said to Jack... Jenny's basically human margarine but she's quite the clever recruiter.

That's disturbing.

Jenny is out here assembling the Mall Goth Avengers

Starting to think Jenny might be kinda not a great person.

Whatever it is, I think by now she's earned it. Also she looks awful- really malnourished.

"Unlimited Power!" gif goes here.

Wait where did the symbols go?

Hoo boy…

Parlay gonna need the coyote tooth sword to win

The comments on this one are going to be *so* normal.

Noa: *tearing herself apart for little reason* Jenny: You do good work. :3 Jenny has some kinda motives, alright.

Tom, kudos on the shading, lighting & expressions. ** Interesting to see Jenny actively morph into a scheming, conniving, & manipulating wench!!

They never once thought to ask Zimmy if she approves of all this.

The pain and emaciation in the third panel is brutal. No symbols lit, just alone, pained, drained and in the dark. Your story telling is fantastic.

so jenny is straight evil, then

Jenny continues to not be a good influence on anyone.

Jenny’s been through so many looks that I sometimes have to go look up images of her just to be sure lmao. This chick is certifiable and she’s playing 5D chess while everyone else is playing checkers. I’m beginning to think her ACTUAL endgame is taking out Annie because Annie once told Jack she liked him

Yup, definitely the scariest.

Okay yeah Jenny is the bad guy here. She is leading people on for her own ends.

Well, that's not at all ominous.

Holy crap Jenny you're a horrible friend

She dropped out of school?!

Jenny is looking Shady- though maybe she is just saying what she needs to save a friend.

In case anyone has forgotten, Jenny’s look here was entirely chosen so she could look like Zimmy in order to get Jack to date her. Everything about her appearance is carefully crafted. I’d even bet money that her 1950’s tradwife look is also a very careful decision. I’m getting more and more convinced that her TRUE object of obsession is actually taking down Annie. The fact that she turned so hard and so fast on Annie with literally the barest minimum to go off of is extremely suspicious to me now that we’re seeing this side of her.

And in panel 4 J goes from a conventional hair style to full feral mane and face suddenly in deep shadow. Yeah, nothing ominous about that

Yes! My Precious!

Wait... Noa drops out of school, turns into Gollum, and starts creeping someone's weight room. Nobody else notices or cares? What, is Noa an orphan, or is her mom a product of the screwed-up Witchcraft program, too? "I'm so proud of you, Honey! When I started haunting the halls of the Court, I was just as broken as you!"

I expect no strings!

the power of... FRIENDSHIP!!!

Yikes.

She reminds me of Jack Hanma

Sis dropped outta witch school for the gain.

Okay, Jen is officially evil now. No one could look at Noa right now and honestly believe that what she's doing to herself is good for her.

70

What if Annie (semi-immortal fire spirit) is the limitless power, and Zimmy is just Jenny's way of catching/trapping her? or somehow magically combining both = limitless power

Zimmy is the source? Are you guys leeches, or what?

so she dropped out, but she’s still at the court? huh…

Oh so they're EVIL evil.

Oh no Jenny seems Evil with a capital. Yikes so that scene with Jenny turning on Annie truly wasn't in good faith on her end. Also - the detail on Noa in that second last panel really does a lot to embed the horror vibes.

Annie is about to show this girl the difference between being able to hit really hard and knowing how to fight. (there's more than one terrifying monster in the room.)
