Jenna to Addison

Jenna Marshall is a major supporting antagonist character in Pretty Little Liars television series on Freeform. She is portrayed by Tammin Sursok.

She is the younger step-sister of Toby Cavanaugh. She was the victim of a "prank" orchestrated by Alison DiLaurentis that resulted in her becoming blind. They refer to that infamous incident as "The Jenna Thing"

Biography[]

In October 2008, Jenna moved to Rosewood after her mother married Toby's father. She quickly became popular at Rosewood High School. Alison invited her to join her group of friends, but she declined, stating that she'd rather make her own group of friends. This led to a long-term rivalry between the two, as Jenna is a very aggressive and manipulative person. She forced her step-brother, Toby, into a sexual relationship with her and threatened to accuse him of forcing himself on her if he didn't agree. 

After being accidentally blinded by a stink bomb set up in Toby's garage by Alison and her friends, Jenna developed a hatred and grudge against all of them. Jenna seems to have been involved with the N.A.T. Club before Alison went missing. She was not sorry for Alison's passing and has continued to keep The Liars on her radar to assure they won't reveal her secret.

In Season 2, Jenna got an eye surgery and was fully able to see throughout the third season. However, going into Season 4, the operation proved to only have temporary effects as she began to lose her sight again. She used to date the popular jock Noel Kahn and used him to regain her popularity in school. 

While she was still blind, Jenna was made to believe that Garrett, whom she dated, killed Alison. Throughout the first three seasons, Jenna thought she knew how Alison was killed. However, it was incorrect. Jenna has almost been murdered twice: once in Season 2 by being lured to and locked in a burning house and again in Season 4, after being knocked unconscious and left in a lake to drown by Charlotte DiLaurentis

Personality[]

Toby had described Jenna as "someone who gets whatever she wants". Although Jenna is resentful towards Alison and her friends, she volunteers to do a speech at Alison's memorial dedication in "Please, Do Talk About Me When I'm Gone". She shares only kind words, mentioning Alison's visit to her in the hospital, claiming that Ali made her stronger and more in touch with her identity.

Jenna also proves she can be slightly abusive and controlling, as she slaps Toby when he tells her he will "never touch her like that again", and asks who he thinks he's talking to. Jenna is known to show a much sadder and vulnerable side than she usually does when around people she doesn't know. She has made a beautiful pottery piece, but is frustrated that she cannot see anything, not even the shadows it produces when lit.

Jenna is a young woman. He has black hair and green eyes. Since her blindness, she always wears black glasses.

After Noel and Mona broke up in Season 2, Jenna becomes close to Noel and it gets clearly that she is dating him. They may have been together during the summer between Season 2 and Season 3, although it is unclear.

Later, the viewers find out that the mysterious person from "UnmAsked" is the person Jenna meets again now at the park, Shana.

Friendships[]

Ian Thomas

She is seen talking to Ian in "The Badass Seed", but is not friends with him. Ian doesn't seem to like or trust Jenna, but they do have ties. She is also seen in Alison's house with Garrett and Ian through a film that Ian is making in Alison's room which later shows Melissa come through the door yelling 'Where is she?!', implying that she is friends with all of the N.A.T. Club.

Mona Vanderwaal

She is seen talking to Mona in the first Halloween special. After Jenna's very sexual display of her lady Gaga costume, and Ali coming up to Jenna and trying to be friends, which Jenna refuses, Mona comes up to tell her that her costume is better than Ali's. Jenna smilingly tells her that she better not tell Ali, to which Mona says "she doesn't scare me". Both of them smile. However, what ever friendship that was implied shattered later on when Mona begins to hate Jenna because she stole Noel Kahn from her. Regardless of Mona's hatred, Jenna still joined Mona's Army in Season 5, because both of them were afraid of Alison's return.

Jenna reached out to Sydney upon hearing that Alison was alive and coming back to Rosewood. Sydney is first seen with Jenna in "Miss Me x 100" when they both arrive at the park to meet with Mona. They appear to share an uncanny resemblance and are working with Mona to take down Alison. Spencer and Emily confront Jenna and Sydney at the eye doctor's office. Emily realizes that she can't trust Sydney because she's allies with Jenna. In "How the 'A' Stole Christmas", Emily refers to Sydney as Jenna's eyes and ears. Jenna attends the Dilaurentis Ice Ball with Sydney by her side. Jenna and Sydney explain later on to Emily how they are only with Alison because they are too scared to wrong her as Jenna has already made the mistake of saying no to Alison's friendship.

Sara Harvey

Sara and Jenna first meet in "Along Comes Mary". They both checked into The Radley Hotel and ordered a drink. Sara talked to her about how they have a common enemy relationship with The Liars. They easily clicked and started to become friends. The Liars pointed out that they are their biggest threats, and that they possibly could team up to tear up their alibi.

Trivia[]

  • Jenna had sexually molested her step-brother Toby. Jenna is very sexually aggressive, as shown by her behavior at the Halloween party, and seems comfortable using sex as a way to control men.
  • She was blinded by a supposed prank gone wrong set up by Alison with the help of the other Liars. Towards the end of Season 2, she got eye surgery that restored her vision in one eye. However, she still continued to let everybody believe that she was still blind, with the exception of a mystery-person she met up with in a park in the second season's finale (later revealed to be Shana).
  • She paid Caleb to spy on Hanna in order to keep the secret of her having forced herself on her step-brother Toby. Jenna was slapped by Hanna after Hanna found out that Caleb was being paid by Jenna to get close to her and to spy on her.
  • She put a note in Jason's pocket saying, "I know what you did". The note was intended to make him think he killed his sister Ali, which she knows he did not. She did this to cover up for Garrett, her love interest at the time, because she thought he had killed Alison.
  • Before she became blind, Jenna was shown as having the capability of giving Ali competition for the Queen Bee title. Ali felt intimidated and suggested that they team up instead, but Jenna refused, saying that she prefers to pick her own friends.
  • Jenna is shown to be able to play the flute well.
  • Jenna uses a flash-drive in "Someone to Watch Over Me". It is unclear how she can operate it without seeing, but it is mentioned that she has a special computer for the blind. In the same episode, Jenna uses Caleb's locker combination, 2-1-4, to leave something in his locker. How she opened his locker without seeing is a mystery, as the number markings are not indented very well. Another combination with numbers far from zero might have given her even more trouble.
  • Jenna previously believed that Garrett Reynolds killed Ali with a field hockey stick, but he only whacked the tree with it twice. Since she is blind, she was fooled by Garrett to believe he had done it.
  • Jenna was thought to be bisexual, but due to her personality (ie. using others to get what she wants: "means to an end"), it was theorised she was just using Shana's crush on her to her advantage.
  • By "'A' is for A-l-i-v-e", her vision had begun fading away, as seen by needing someone to hold onto (like in "Pilot") and the return of her black sunglasses.
  • She might have been the one that Toby saw or the one that hit him over the head in "A DAngerous GAme".
  • Jenna is featured as a major recurring character in the first three seasons and in the seventh season. She was downgraded to a guest character for the fourth and fifth season.
  • Season 6 was the only season she was absent from and was only mentioned in "Last Dance", when she went to the prom with Lucas Gottesman.
  • Jenna gets a new pair of sunglasses in Season 7.
  • In "The DArkest Knight", Jenna and Noel attempted to kill the Liars with a gun, but failed as Mary Drake intervened and Noel was killed.
    • After her failure, she was dragged away and abducted by A.D., taking her away in a van. She is now their helper.
  • In "These Boots Were Made for Stalking" Jenna claims that Charlotte left behind money for her eye surgery and Noel Kahn was after the money and threatened to kill Jenna and also murdered Sara. 
  • Jenna might be bisexual as she dated a girl.

Quotes[]

Spencer: So when did you move back to Rosewood? Last we heard, you were at a school in Philadelphia for the... visually impaired.
Jenna: It's okay, Spencer. You can say blind. It's not a dirty word.


Jenna [to the Liars]: We've all made mistakes. Remember, I'm still paying for yours.


Jenna [to Ezra Fitz]: I'm fascinated by the nature of evil.


Jenna: I don't need a special flashlight to know what people around here are hiding. This school is filled with phonies and liars. They're everywhere.


Jenna [to the Liars]: I've never been the one you really need to fear.


Jenna [speaking at Alison's memorial]: We think we know who we are, but we don't. Not until something bad happens to us, and then all the useless things fall away, and we're left with who we really are. I learned that from Alison DiLaurentis. My whole life, I thought I knew who she was, but I found out the truth when she came and talked to me at the hospital. I found out that she was the strongest person that I had ever met. And it's her strength that touched so many people, shaped them. That's her real legacy. That's how her memory will endure, in the actions of those she inspired in so many different ways. From all of us... thank you, Alison.


Jenna [to the Liars]: Whisper, whisper, whisper, it is almost as if Alison is still here.


Jenna [to Hanna]: I never had a problem with my ears, Hanna. I guess we'll just have to see how it all turns out.


Jenna [to Emily]: It seems to me that everyone who saw Ali the night she went missing is waking up dead.


Jenna: Where am I? Did you shoot Spencer? You're A.D.


Jenna [to Addison]: I may not be able to see but I can smell a bitch a mile away.

Book Comparisons[]

  • In the books, her last name was Cavanaugh. In the show, it is Marshall. This means that unlike her book counterpart, she kept her original surname after her mom's marriage.
  • In the show, it is Jenna who has an obsession with Toby and she's the one who forced him into a sexual relationship. In the books, Jenna hates Toby because he forced her to have sex.
  • She planned the Jenna Thing in the book with Alison, whereas in the show, she was caught completely off guard by it.
  • She was not rivals with Alison in the books, but Courtney bullied her.
  • In the books, Jenna and Mona were best friends, whereas in the show they have little interaction.
  • In the books, Jenna is murdered by Alison and thrown into a ditch. In Season 4, she is almost killed at Emily's birthday party by Big A.
  • She was close friends with "Alison" in the books, so much that Jenna is the only one that knew they were twins (aside from the DiLaurentis' and Nick), whereas Alison and Jenna are enemies in the TV series.
  • Jenna's personality in the TV series is darker, whereas in the books she was more compassionate and understanding.
  • In the show, Jenna moves to Rosewood several months before The Jenna Thing and Alison's disappearance. But in the books, Jenna grew up in Rosewood, and has presumably lived there longer than Alison and Courtney had.
