Jenna is the deuteragonist of the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th and Clay Miller's love interest.
She can be considered to be a loose pastiche of both Chris Higgins (from Friday the 13th Part III) and Trish Jarvis (from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter).
She was portrayed by Danielle Panabaker, who also played Killer Frost in the Arrowverse.

Jenna, Clay and Trent are left and Trent wants to leave with Jenna while Clay wants to go find his sister. Jenna ends up deciding to stay with Clay, angering Trent even more. When Jenna and Clay find Jason's lair they find Clay's sister. As Clay attempts to free Whitney, Jenna hears Jason coming and warns Clay to hurry.

Behind the Scenes[]
Danielle Panabaker, in her breakthrough role that would also lead up to her being typecast as other ill-fated key characters in horror films such as The Crazies, The Ward, and Piranha 3DD (which is so far as of 2012 Panabaker's only horror film where her main character has not died).
Notes & Trivia[]
- Scout Taylor-Compton auditioned for the role of 'Jenna' which eventually went to Danielle Panabaker.
- The script originally had Jenna dying later on in the film than she did in the final cut. In the finished film, Jenna is killed as Clay and Whitney are pulling her out of Jason's lair. Originally, Jenna would have hidden from Jason in the abandoned bus with Clay and Whitney after escaping from his lair, exchanged dialogue with Clay about doing something more romantic on their next date and she then would have been killed by Jason with a fire extinguisher.
