Primal:Jen

"I just jumped outta my skin, left my body in some hospital, been dragged through a riff gate... And I'm in Oblivion. Vambrace? Not a problem."

Jennifer Tate, or Jen (ジェン), as she likes to be known, is the main character featured in Primal. At the beginning, she and her boyfriend Lewis were attacked by a minion of Abaddon, known as Belahzur. When Jennifer was born, her powers were sealed within her soul. But when Lord Herne had emitted the Solum Energy from his pendant, it was immediately absorbed by Jen, awakening and unlocking her magical talents, as Jen took the form of Ferai.

Description
Jen was abducted from her home as a baby, her parents were killed during this incident. Growing up in a string of foster homes, the fate brought her her soul mate, Lewis, almost two years ago. Since then, they have been living together, two souls more alike than either can quite comprehend. She is currently twenty-one years old, and works as a waitress. Her plan is to earn money in order to put herself through college.

She has a short temper and a sharp tongue, but is compassionate as well. Although her short temper can get the best of her sometimes (e.g. she snaps during her second meeting with Arella after leaving Aquis, when Scree tells Jen that there's more still to do in Oblivion), her heart is in the right place (such as when, in Aquis, she refuses to let a trapped Undine engineer get killed).

Jen's tattoo was designed by her boyfriend Lewis after they met, he told her it was an ancient rune of protection.

Quotes

Jen's Alignment is Chaotic Good

 * Primal features a balance between Order and Chaos, in which Order mostly functions as Good and Chaos functions as Evil; the game's plot involves the balance being tipped towards Chaos, requiring the protagonist to even things back out.
 * Order Versus Chaos is different from Good vs Evil.
 * Jen is Chaotic Good. Laws matter less to her than doing the right thing.
 * Scree: "You were brought into Oblivion as a baby. Your soul tainted by the touch of Chaos." also "She is a wild creature, but I believe her heart is good."
 * Scree is Lawful Neutral. If the rules say so, he's for it. This is demonstrated in their almost violent disagreement over Spoiler: [ sacrificing the Undine Engineer ]. For Scree the sacrifice is on the side of Order, he's neutral about about it being good or evil. For Jen, the decision is equally clear the other way. She regards it as Evil.
