Appearance: Jenna has a very feminine and yet simplistic appearance. She's always well dressed at work, usually wearing a knee-length skirt with a top and a cardigan - the standard, really. She doesn't go all out, but she certainly looks nice. Jen has shoulder length brown hair that contrasts a set of bright blue eyes. She's already young for her job but in addition to that she looks young anyway which doesn't help matters. Standing at only 5'3", she's definitely short, and with her cute and young face, she's already been mistaken for one of the students on more than one occasion.

Clique: nerds
Likes: learning new things, science in general, birds
Dislikes: messiness, ruining a good labcoat, students who can't follow directions correctly

Personality: Jenna is a very organised individual, making her an excellent candidate for the scientific field. She is one who believes the motto of cleanliness coming with godliness, and keeps a very tidy workspace both at home and at her job. She loves all sciences but especially chemistry and geology, which she teaches. She actually started a geology elective herself, taking on the extra hours of work-grading time solely because of her excitement for the subject material. In spite of her orderly and logically minded attitude, Jenna is secretly a huge fan of science fiction, especially Star Wars.

Jenna is a very sweet girl, though she has a little bit of a temper when it comes to messiness or being teased about her height. She knows she's small and cute, and she doesn't need to be patronised for it - she's not afraid to tell people off for that reason or any other if it's necessary. She loves children and originally wanted to be a primary school teacher, but her love for the sciences got her to choose a job in secondary school instead. She's strict yet kind, so as long as her students are good and follow precise directions and listen well, they will get along with her just fine. She has a little bit of an authority complex when it comes to that, though, because many students don't take her seriously since she's not much older than them. She's always had to prove herself throughout her life because of her age or her appearance, and so she's a little sensitive about that in general.

Family: She lives alone in a small apartment with two cockatiels named Ares and Apollo. She dotes on them like they were her own children. Her parents live somewhat nearby in northern Vermont, and she visits them from time to time. She's the oldest of seven, so she enjoys going home often to visit her younger brothers and sisters.

History: Jenna grew up on an enormous piece of land with several households on it. The Adamses had been farmers for generations, and so Jenna grew up amongst her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings. Though each family had their own house and piece of land, they all lived along the same dirt road in rural northern Vermont. Jenna loves kids likely because she grew up as the oldest of her siblings and many of her cousins, and gets along with them all well. She's a very family-oriented person and loves animals and being outside. However, living a farmer's life was never what she wanted for herself and so she ended up being the first person in her family to move away and go to college.

Not only did Jenna take that step and create a milestone for the Adams family, but she also did it with miles of ambition. She graduated at the top of her class a year early at seventeen, and as she took college level courses throughout her final year at high school, she was able to skip the first year completely and graduate university at twenty. This was unheard of for her small town and especially for her family, so she was somewhat of a celebrity back home even now.

After graduating, Jenna applied for many jobs around the area, but when she heard back from an academy in New Hampshire, it was ultimately there that she decided to go. So, she packed up and left her small farming community and crossed the state border to her new life. She has only just started her new position at Bullworth Academy as a teacher of both chemistry and geology, replacing the old chemistry teacher who'd retired, a man whose surname was also, ironically, Adams. This has caused a few issues, as has Jenna's age, but her ambition is what continues to push her forward toward success.
