XJ-9

Background: Jenny was designed as a teenager of about 16 years of age (in design and mentality), but it was 5 years since she had been created, prior to the events of I Was a Preschool Dropout (2002). As her number indicates, she had eight prototypes, whom she treats as her older sisters.

While she was designed as a teenage robot, presumably with the adolescent mind of a 16-year old or so, she apparently did undergo a period of infancy according to the episode Humiliation 101 (2004). As revealed in the same episode, she also spent some of her early years as a crude steam-powered robot before being upgraded to hydronium-electric hybrid-power (as seen in the blueprints of her Master Plan).

For an uncertain amount of time, she was prevented from leaving the house by her mother, except for the purpose of saving the earth, where she would not be viewed by the general populace. Following the events of It Came From Next Door (2002), she finally managed to interact with the outside world and make human friends, namely Brad Carbunkle and his younger brother Tuck, and later enrolling in Tremorton High School where she soon met and befriended Sheldon Lee.

Physical Appearance: Jenny stands at 6.6 feet (1.98 m) tall and weighs roughly 600 lbs. She has blue "pigtails" with bolts connecting them to her head that can act as rocket boosters, blue "bangs", white skin, blue "clothes" (a crop top, a miniskirt and boots), a belly-bolt (a bolt that simulates a belly button) which doubles as a linchpin as mentioned in Around the World in Eighty Pieces (2004), hands with 4 fingers each and center holes, a "false nose".

Jenny has no ears, instead possessing an auditory system "decades ahead of its time." according to Ear No Evil (2002). Her body processes are carried out by a fully-functional, metallic electronic brain, which her eyes are connected to, as seen in Mind Over Matter (2004). Her body also contains several access ports for downloading, charging, and other purposes.

Personality: Jenny Wakeman possesses a vibrant, highly emotional, and distinctively human personality that drives the central conflict and charm of My Life as a Teenage Robot. Jenny is deeply energetic, optimistic, and eager to experience the world. She loves music, hanging out with friends, shopping, and typical teenage interests.

Despite being built as a high-powered global defense unit (XJ-9), her greatest wish is to be treated like a normal teenage girl, fit in with her peers at Tremorton High, and be accepted by society. True to her teenage programming, she often lets her emotions overrule logic. She can be stubborn, headstrong, and prone to diving headfirst into situations without thinking through the consequences.

Despite her frustrations with her crime-fighting duties and the pressure of saving the world, she has a strong moral compass and deeply cares about protecting her friends, family, and humanity. Because she is eager to make friends and belong, she can sometimes be overly trusting or easily manipulated by others (such as the Crust Cousins).

She frequently clashes with her creator and mother, Dr. Nora Wakeman, chafing against overprotectiveness, nagging, and being treated like a child.

Powers and Abilities: Jenny Wakeman (XJ-9) is an immensely powerful, state-of-the-art Robotic Global Response Unit built with a vast and versatile arsenal of futuristic armaments, tools, and tactical systems hidden within her frame.

Advanced Weaponry & Combat Systems: Her body can reconfigure to deploy an extensive range of heavy weaponry, including machine guns, plasma blasters, missile launchers, lasers, and energy cannons. She can transform her hands and arms into buzz-saws, hydraulic hammers, spiked maces, energy blades, and boxing gloves. She can generate energy forcefields and protective plating to deflect incoming enemy attacks, plasma fire, and environmental hazards.

Flight & High-Speed Mobility: Her pigtails and boots can transform into powerful jet thrusters, allowing her to achieve supersonic flight, travel through outer space, and maneuver rapidly in mid-air. She possesses incredible running speed, reflexes, and gymnastic agility far exceeding human limits.

Physical Strength & Durability: Weighing around 600 lbs with a heavy-duty metallic chassis, Jenny can effortlessly lift massive objects, throw giant robots, punch through thick steel, and hold back heavy vehicles. Built to withstand explosions, heavy artillery, re-entry friction, and intense atmospheric pressures, her armor can endure punishing amounts of damage (though she is still susceptible to dents, wear-and-tear, and rust).

Modular & Utility Adaptability: She can stretch, lengthen, or retract her limbs, neck, and torso to reach distant objects or squeeze through tight spaces. Her chassis houses countless everyday tools and utility features, ranging from blowtorches and computer hacking interfaces to musical instruments, kitchen appliances, and telescopic zoom lenses. She possesses high-tech auditory and visual sensors (including thermal vision, X-ray scanning, and audio magnification) that allow her to detect threats across vast distances.

Weaknesses: Naivety and Trusting Nature: Because she is eager to fit in and make friends, Jenny is easily trusting of others and can be quite naive. This leaves her vulnerable to being manipulated by people like the Crust Cousins, who take advantage of her kindness for self-gain or to humiliate her.

Impulsive and Hot-Headed Behavior: Reflecting her teenage programming, she can be stubborn, hotheaded, careless, and mischievous at times. She is also occasionally reckless and quick to jump the gun.

Physical Dislikes and Maintenance Needs: She has an active dislike for rust and occasionally requires mechanical repairs for issues such as loose bolts.
