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

Background

Jenny is an optimistic Catholic missionary sent to the American west to try and spread her religion.

Interactions

Jenny makes an appearance during the mission "Exodus in America", in which she is seen to be riding on the train to Armadillo. She is talking to the Preacher about bringing the Christian faith to the West, and bringing "civilization" to the Native Americans.

Jenny then appears during the Stranger side-mission "Jenny's Faith", in which Marston finds her in the wilderness of Cholla Springs, testing her faith in God. When Marston finds her, she is very ill. However, when asked if she wants help, she turns him away, claiming that the Lord will save her. 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, saying it was his will that caused him to do such a good deed. Marston, seeing she has gone insane in the heat, offers to give her a ride back to Armadillo, but she declines, still believing that her faith will let her live throughout the exploit. However, after the mission Jenny can be hog-tied and then brought to other locations where she will then begin to do various actions, immplying that from there on in, she will remain alive but not reoccur within the plot of the game.
