Big Nate Wiki

Jenny Jenkins (born August 28, 2001) is a female character at P.S. 38, whom Nate has had a crush on ever since first grade (Big Nate: In A Class By Himself references that fact). She finds Nate extremely annoying. Nate really has a problem with her relationship with Artur. Nate also thinks Jenny likes him deep down.

Personality

Although Jenny has been shown in the books a variety of times, she is the love interest of Nate, who wishes that one day she will dump Artur and start dating him instead. She has a very long relationship with Artur. She seems polite and hard-working, similar to Gina. She usually freaks out whenever something rotten happens to her (i.e. Nate accidentally trips and splashes egg salad on Jenny's hair, causing her to go berserk, seen in Big Nate Strikes Again!). She is also short-tempered and very hot-headed. She is very mean to Nate and barely considers him a friend.

Trivia

  • Ironically, every time a project that involves pairs occurs in Mrs. Godfrey's class, Jenny always seems to get paired with Artur (much to Nate's dismay).
  • In preschool, she would chase all the boys around the preschool, and when she caught up, she kissed them as she said in Big Nate Genius Mode.
  • Her zodiac symbol is said to be Virgo by Lincoln Peirce.
  • In the older comics she was a cheerleader.
  • She left the Big Nate comic strip whilst moving to Seattle in Febuary 2, 2013.
  • However, in June 4, 2013, she made a comeback and Nate is back to chasing her as usual.
