Jenny was the daughter of the Tenth Doctor, artificially created from his DNA when it was sampled by a progenation machine.
Creation
During a short war on the planet Messaline between humans and Hath, both sides used progenation machines. These could create mentally programmed adults from a single DNA sample, making the donor both "biological mother and father". When the Tenth Doctor, Donna Noble, and Martha Jones arrived on Messaline, Jenny was made from a skin sample taken from the Doctor without his permission. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter [+]Stephen Greenhorn, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)
With the Doctor
The then nameless Jenny pushed a button which triggered an explosion, collapsing the tunnel and cutting the group off from the Hath and Martha. Shortly after, Jenny was named by Donna from the Doctor's description of her as a "generated anomaly." Jenny's commander, Cobb, imprisoned the Doctor, Donna, and Jenny where Donna proved that Jenny was indeed the Doctor's daughter by listening to her binary vascular system. However, the Doctor insisted that she was nothing more than an "echo" and that a "real" Time Lord was "so much more." By kissing Cline and stealing his pistol, Jenny was able to allow them to escape, impressing the Doctor with her capability, even if he didn't care for her inclination towards violence, having to later convince her not to kill Cobb. As the three of them made their way through Messaline, Jenny spoke with the Doctor about the possibility of travelling with him, and he told her that he would never leave her. The Doctor told the respective parties to end the war, whereupon General Cobb aimed his gun and shot at him, Jenny jumping in the way of the bullet. Believing her to be dead, the Doctor left the planet. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter [+]Stephen Greenhorn, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).) While she was shot through one of her twin hearts, as she was not a Time Lord she was unable to regenerate and recover from her fatal injury. However, due to her death being in close proximity to the Source, its gaseous compound revived her. (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Steve Tribe, BBC Books (2008). Chapter 4, "The Great and Bountiful Human Empires"; Page 173.) She then stole a shuttlecraft and left Messaline. When asked where she was going, she restated Donna's earlier description of the Doctor's life: "Oh, I've got the whole universe: planets to save, civilisations to rescue, creatures to defeat — and an awful lot of running to do." (TV: The Doctor's Daughter [+]Stephen Greenhorn, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)
Exploring the universe
Hours after leaving Messaline, Jenny discovered that her ship had almost run out of fuel. She spent six hours rewiring the ship's shields to create a wormhole generator, allowing her to travel farther with her limited fuel. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension) Jenny was captured by Adam Mitchell and trapped with many other companions of her father's. Along with the others, she was released by Frobisher. (COMIC: The Choice) Someone in a cantina told her about messages in bottles. She then wrote a letter to her father and left it in the ocean. (PROSE: Judge, Jury and Executioner) She had numerous adventures whilst travelling via wormhole, visiting dead space, blooming nebulae, spaceports and bolt-holes. After six jumps, she arrived on the planet Kulontor. She made a living by trading engineering support for resources and planned to make a trip to the planet's moon Terebek that only appeared every six months. Fashioning a suit of armour for herself, Jenny travelled to Terebek when it appeared. Discovering that a crashed bowship was the cause of the temporal anomalies, Jenny repaired, incorporating its Seal of Rassilon into her armour, and claimed it as her new craft. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)
Jenny showed a lot of the brilliance, lust for life, and the determination of her father. Though programming had made her military-minded and goal-orientated, she was too much like her father for this to dictate her actions. While at first, she showed violent intentions towards others, she soon adopted the Doctor's values and principles, though she still retained her miltary mind. She even inherited his selflessness as shown when she took a gunshot from Cobb to save her dad.
She was delighted at the prospects of travelling in the TARDIS with her father. After her revival, she seemed very excited about travelling the universe. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter [+]Stephen Greenhorn, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).) She later expressed the desire to visit everywhere in the universe. (AUDIO: Stolen Goods)
The presence of Jenny drew the Doctor's TARDIS to Messaline, paradoxically before her creation, so that she, in effect, caused herself to exist. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter [+]Stephen Greenhorn, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)
The Monk was aware of her existence. (AUDIO: Past Lives)
Appearance
Jenny's actress, Georgia Moffett, was notably actually the daughter of one of the Doctors, specifically Peter Davison (real name Peter Moffett). It has since been noted in many stories that clones and copies of the Doctor tend to emerge featuring the appearances of his previous incarnations. (AUDIO: The Hexford Invasion/Survivors in Space, COMIC: Breakfast at Tyranny's) This would explain why Jenny more closely resembles the Fifth Doctor rather than the Tenth.
Companion status
Prior to November 2013, Jenny was considered a "companion presumptive". It is clear, once the Doctor accepted her as his daughter, that she would travel with him and Donna. Her "death" ended these plans. In the Prisoners of Time comic miniseries released five years after The Doctor's Daughter, all of the Doctor's companions were kidnapped by Adam Mitchell. Jenny was revealed among those kidnapped, marking her inclusion as a companion. In the 2017 comic, The Lost Dimension, Jenny joined Bill Potts and Nardole as a companion of the Twelfth Doctor.
Return?
Steven Moffat told Russell T Davies that killing Jenny at the end of the episode was "the Star Trek thing to do". This prompted Davies to change the episode so she would be brought back to life. Ironically, Jenny's resurrection by the Source closely parallels Spock's resurrection by the Genesis matrix in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. , a UK tabloid newspaper, speculated that Georgia Moffett would appear as Jenny in one of the 2009 specials; she did not make an appearance. Jenny's resurrection led to rumours that Georgia Moffett was in the running to return as a companion for the Eleventh Doctor.[source needed] Ultimately, Karen Gillan was cast in this role as Amy Pond. No further television appearances of the character have been announced. Moffett did return to the franchise in other roles, providing the voice of an unrelated character named Cassie Rice in the animated serial Dreamland, and continuing to do voice work for Big Finish Productions in 2010. In August 2013, Steven Moffat said "the door is open" for Jenny to return to the series. Moffett told Doctor Who Magazine in 2015 that she was desperate to return and would be happy to play even a character with a single line, but that it was not likely, as her character had only ever been conceived as a one-off. Additionally, Russell T Davies jokingly told Steven Moffat that Jenny crashed into a moon. Her solo series, Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter, begins with her crashing into a moon but surviving. The Prisoners of Time comic was Jenny's first appearance, not including the archival footage, since her appearance in The Doctor's Daughter. Despite being seen with the captured in The Choice, she was absent after the companions were released in the following issue, Endgame. Her appearance in COMIC: The Lost Dimension was her first major appearance since her inception. In 2018, she returned for her own Big Finish audio series: Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter.
