Jenna is a barmaid working at the Shattered Skull Tavern in Tenebrae. She appears in Ultima VIII.
Description[edit]
Jenna was the daughter of Darion, captain of the Tenebraean guard. Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her and her father never remarried.[1] As the only caretaker of a single child, Darion made little secret of the fact that he had desired a son and trained Jenna from an early age in the art of sword fighting, bolstering her independent spirit and leading her to long for the life of an errant adventurer.
When Jenna came of marriageable age, she chafed at the notion of being yolked to a man, and left her father's household when he pressed the issue of matrimony. She supported herself by working at Orlok's tavern and did her utmost to ward off any suitors foolish enough to approach her. Should the Avatar speak with her about such matters, she would mention her relief that Cyrrus had left for Argentrock Isle, as she did not requite the young man's deep-seated infatuation with her.
The hero would have to choose all words carefully in speaking with Jenna, as she had a quick temper and was slow to forget a grudge. Should she be treated amicably, she would offer the tavern's fare at a lower price than Orlok typically charged.[2]
Trivia[edit]
- Jenna carries a sword at all times. The weapon is an heirloom she inherited from her grandfather.[2]
- It is possible to anger Jenna enough that she will deny the hero service.
