But when [[Herne|Lord Herne]] had emitted the [[Solum|Solum Energy]] from his pendant, it came straight into Jen, awakening and unlocking her magical talents, as Jen took the form of [[Ferai]]. Jen was born in the [[Nexus|nexus]] and brought back to [[Mortalis]] with Lewis by [[Scree]]. [[Jennifer Tate]]’s tattoo on her back by her boyfriend [[Lewis]] represents the universe of Oblivion.

| === Quotes ===
| |
| | |
| * "I'm 21 now, Lewis, too old to be living like a bum. Plus, I'm gonna need study space once I start college." - Jen
| |
| * "Just one thing, though. No matter where we are, you gotta stop calling me 'Jennifer.' You sound like my step dad. It's 'Jen'." - Jen
| |
| * "Most parents took the trouble to take their kids swimming. Some even went horse-riding, too! Girl scouts... tap classes... with me you get none of that extra-curricular crap, okay?" - Jen
| |
| * "I'm just a coffee shop waitress!" - Jen
| |
| * "She is a wild creature, but I believe her heart is good." - Scree, speaking of Jen.
| |
| | |
| === Jen's Alignment is Chaotic Good ===
| |
| * [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OrderVersusChaos Order vs Chaos]: '''''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: [<span style="color:white;">sacrificing the Undine Engineer</span>]. 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.
| |
| | |
| === Spoiler Information ===
| |
| * Jen is referred to as a hybrid by King Herne.
| |
| * The Helot Watcher in Aetha calls Jen "Corruption."
| |
| * "You were brought into Oblivion as a baby. Your soul tainted by the touch of Chaos." - Scree to Jen
| |
| * Spoiler: [<span style="color:white;">"You are a hybrid, Jennifer; half mortal, half demon. One of only two in all existence, and to me that makes you more important than an army of demons. Did you think it was just those trinkets on you arms that allowed you to change form? You have powers that even Abaddon does not fully comprehend. You can go anywhere, do things that Belahzur could not if he had a millennium. The laws of the Nexus are yours to break." - Lady Arella, representative of Order.</span>]

| * Spoiler: [<span style="color:white;">Jen causes or enables the death of the male ruler of each of the Four Realms. She only kills one female ruler. Jen "KingSlayer" Tate?</span>]

| === Final Spoken Lines ===
| |
| :"''Do you think you could endeavor never to forget me only in my current form?''" - Abdizur
| |
| :"''Not a chance, Rocky. Not a chance...''" - Jen
