Jenny

"With faith, I can achieve great things."

- Jenny

 is a minor character and a Stranger in Red Dead Redemption. She appears in and gives the player the Stranger side-mission "Jenny's Faith".

Background
Jenny is an optimistic missionary sent to the west to try and spread her religion. She then wanders out into the wilderness in Cholla Springs, testing her faith in God. John Marston finds her and she is very ill, it is up to him to go and get her some Medicine. Once he returns to Jenny she thanks the Lord, and not Marston, for saving her. Marston practically begs her to give her a ride back to Armadillo, but she declines, still believing that her faith will let her live throughout the adventure. In the Hillcoat cinematic, it is shown that she dies in the desert.

Interactions
She appears first in the opening film for the mission "Exodus in America" although the player can only overhear her conversation with the Preacher.

Marston also comes to her aid in Stranger side-mission "Jenny's Faith".

Mission Appearances

Tip
Be sure to have at least one bottle of Medicine in your satchel before riding out to her, it'll save you a trip to the nearest store.

Trivia

 * It is possible to hogtie Jenny and return her to Armadillo. Once released, she will attempt to run back into the wilderness, unless she is cut free inside a building.
 * Upon releasing Jenny, Marston will yell "You owe me one!"
 * It's possible that Jenny actually died because in the video made by Rockstar of RDR, Jenny is shown dead on the ground. although this video can be seen as non canon as several features of the story are different to the game.
 * Despite Jenny calling the Preacher father, it is entirely possible they are not related and Jenny is just using Father as a respectful title to refer to a priest.
 * It's also possible Jenny lived through her experience in the desert, as she was seen crying in front of a cross in a trailer of Red Dead Redemption, possibly meaning she survived, but possibly no longer has faith, or is simply traumatised by her experience.
 * Jenny is, aside from Edgar Ross, the only character that is in both a story mission and a stranger task.
 * Jenny can be seen in the trailer of Undead Nightmare.
 * Jenny can be seen in the cutscene of "Exodus in America" talking to his father inside a train.
