Personality:

Jenna is a very friendly, funloving and likeable person. She has a good sense of humour and likes to make jokes, even if no one gets it but herself. She is a smart girl and knowledge comes easy to her. Because of this, she can be egotistical and a bit of a know-it-all sometimes. Though she just moved from one school to another, the transition academically has been very good. She is a whiz at computers and loves anything to do with technology. Her favorite thing is her PDA cell phone. She can keep in touch with a lot of friends from home with it and keeps it with her at all times.

Bio:

Jenna hails from the Bondi beach area in Sydney, Australia raised by only her mother in the top floor of a small apartment building overlooking the beach. Having never met her father, the only thing she knows about him was from the UK. When she was a little girl, her mother kept most of the details from her and merely told her that her "Daddy" was in the UK. Once she was old enough to understand, her mother explained that she met him in the bar where she worked as an exotic dancer. He was only in town a few nights on a business trip and Jenna was the result of a one night affair. Once she became pregnant, she went left the dancing profession and went back to school to study IT so she could provide a better future for herself and her child. She now works as a computer consultant for a large internet provider and is providing for Jenna the way she had intended.

Jenna has not always had everything she ever wanted. Life was very hard with just herself and her mother working and in school but through it all she always found a way to have fun. She was raised by neighbours in the close knit community of the apartment building they lived. Most of her spare time there was spent at the beach surfing with the rest of her friends anyway when she wasn't at school. When she became old enough, she started working at a local beachside chip shop. On Sundays she volunteered for a local surf group to teach surfing and beach safety to the locals during the summer surfing season.

When she was 15, she met and dated Kyle Shepard, whose father's job had taken him to Sydney. There was a strong physical attraction as well as strong mutual feelings, but their constant bickering made things difficult for them. When Kyle's dad went back to California to work six months later, the had no other choice but to break up. Neither of them could decide if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Not quite 6 months later, her mom, decided to move to California after several years of communication and meetings with someone she met online through work. It was a bit of an uprooting for Jenna, for obvious reasons. When they settled within reasonable distance from a beach, Jenna was content she'd still be able to surf the waves of the Pacific and felt like she had taken a little bit of home with her when she fit in with a local surf group. She got herself a part time job working at the beachside ice cream shop after school and on weekends.
