Biography[]
Early life[]
Jennifer was born in August 7th, 1992, in a small town in the United States called Devil's Kettle. She was the best friend of a girl named Anita Lesnicki "since the sandbox," as she would later put it. As they grew up together, Jennifer became the popular girl, whereas Anita became the quieter one whom Jennifer kept around, much to the shock of the other students. At some point Jennifer started to call Anita “Needy.”

Succubus[]
Low Shoulder, the closet Satanic Band behind Jennifer's demonic rebirth
One night, when the two girls were teenagers, they went out to a bar where an indie-rock group called Low Shoulder was performing. The lead singer, Nikolai Wolf, was interested in Jennifer, only because he suspected that she was a virgin. The group were actually Satan worshippers who were looking for a virgin to sacrifice to Satan so they could cut a record deal, but Jennifer, who had been flirted with boys her entire life, found herself genuinely attracted to Nikolai. The bar caught on fire, annihilating it and killing a few bar patrons.
The band took a shocked Jennifer into their van. Jennifer, while in the van, saw occult books and various other satanic items, which made her nervous. Once they arrived at their destination, Jennifer unsuccessfully tried to escape, nervous and scared that the band members may be rapists. They forced her onto the ground and tied her up. They then recited a chant before brutally stabbing Jennifer with a bowie knife. But, unbeknownst to the band, Jennifer was not a virgin and had sexual encounters with previous boyfriends who she went on to ditch. Rather than dying, Jennifer was possessed by a demon. The possession gave her superhuman strength and speed, as well as levitation and immortality. The catch was that she would have to forever feast on the flesh of young male humans (or teenage boys) to maintain her eternal youth or else she would be vulnerable to decay and death.
Walking on the highway, she came across Amet, an Indian exchange student from her school who survived the fire. Jennifer asks him whether his host family or anyone knows he was alive and when Amet shakes his head as a answer to "no" to her question, Jennifer tells him she will take him somewhere where they'll both be safe, grabbing him by the hand and taking him to the woods, where she kills and eats him.
After the murder, Jennifer found her way to her friend Needy's house. She immediately went into the fridge in the kitchen and tried to eat chicken. But, being unable to digest human food, she vomited that out along with "black ferromagnetic fluid" which seemed almost alive for a short time. Jennifer then left Needy's home.
Jennifer shows some of her demonic abilities with a flame-immuned tongue.
She went out and slaughtered at least two more teenage boys (Jonas Jodelle and Colin Grey) before telling Needy what happened to her and the grisly murders she committed. She became very confident in her abilities, cutting herself and burning her tongue just to prove she could without hurting herself, and proclaiming to Needy that she was a god.
Jennifer then went after Needy's boyfriend, Chip. She lied to him, saying that Needy cheated on her with one of her male friends. He almost believed her. After Jennifer's feminine wiles were lost on Chip, because of his love for Needy, a suddenly insecure Jennifer attacked the boy. She began feeding on his neck just as Needy arrived and fought Jennifer. After a verbal exchange, Jennifer tried to kill Needy but Chip stabbed Jennifer with a pool skimmer, wounding her. Jennifer escaped and headed back home, where her wound began to heal; meanwhile, Chip succumbed to his wounds.
Death[]
Needy then went to Jennifer's home and broke into her room, screaming, "Best friends forever, huh?! You killed my boyfriend!", and a fight to the death ensued. Needy injured Jennifer by carving an "X" onto her stomach, but it had little effect. Jennifer then bit her on the shoulder in retaliation; Needy ripped off her BFF necklace, which shocked Jennifer, allowing Needy to stab her in the heart with a box cutter, killing her and avenging her boyfriend and all the victims that she killed.
Legacy[]
After Jennifer's death, her mother caught Needy holding the box cutter after stabbing Jennifer. She was sent to an asylum for the criminally insane. It was in prison that she discovered that the bite that Jennifer gave her awarded her with much of the same powers as Jennifer. She used said powers to escape from the institution. In vengeance, she tracked down the band, Low Shoulder, who was responsible for both Jennifer and Needy's demonic changes as well as the deaths that they had caused. She avenged herself, Jennifer, and her victims by killing them with, ironically, Nikolai's bowie knife - the same weapon they used to sacrifice Jennifer. As Needy left, their fans wanted to see Low Shoulder but screamed in horror when they saw them dead. It is possible that Needy became a vigilante after killing them, given that she was only willing to kill people if they were bad guys.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
As a human, Jennifer was an exceptional beauty and capable of seducing and manipulating boys easily with her charisma and flirtatiousness. But after her sacrifice for Satan went wrong (since she wasn’t a virgin), she gained demonic powers due to being possessed by a succubus. The powers and abilities she gained include:
- Demon Physiology: Because of the failed sacrifice to the Devil, Jennifer was possessed by a demon and gained supernatural powers upon possession but still maintains her humanoid body.
- Superhuman Strength: Jennifer was strong enough to kill teenage boys who were bigger than her.
- Superhuman Speed: When Needy got in her car, Jennifer jumped on her windshield in front of her after she murdered Colin incredibly fast.
- Immortality: Jennifer was granted immortality; she can regenerate from supposedly lethal wounds, implying that she can only be killed if her heart is stabbed.
- Levitation: Jennifer can levitate and hover her body in the air.
- Eternal Youth: Upon being possessed, Jennifer was given eternal youth so that she would remain beautiful. However, if she does not feed, her appearance will start to wither slightly.
- Regeneration: Jennifer can regenerate from nearly any injury. She recovered from being impaled through the stomach, having her tongue burned, and having her arm cut with a needle.
- Pain Immunity: Jennifer shows no signs of feeling any physical pain, which could be associated with her regeneration abilities.
- Conversion: Needy stated that, if anyone gets bitten by a demon and lives, they obtain some of their occult powers. Needy was the first and only example of this.
Abilities[]
- Seduction: Jennifer shows remarkable skills in the seduction of boys. These abilities were still retained even after becoming the host of the succubus. Her seduction later became one of her weapons in looking for more prey.
Weaknesses[]
- Starvation: If Jennifer does not consume any human flesh, she loses her beauty and becomes weak, leaving her vulnerable to decay and death.
- Heart: Despite being immortal, Jennifer dies when Needy stabs her in the heart.
