 ## Character Read
-Jenni reads as unusually direct, friendly, and socially intentional. Where many creatures arrive by riffing, Jenni arrives by asking questions: what game this is, what else you stream, what platform you play on, what your specs are, whether you have Discord, whether you are open to new friends. That gives the whole presence a very different texture from the goblin swarm.
+The stream-chat surface ("What game is this?" / "Do you have a Discord?" / "Are you open to new friends?") previously read as a charming infiltrator doing rapid recruitment. The **DM archive corrects that**: Jenni is a **freelance commission artist**, and the full arc of how she reached Rain is the characterization. She did not lead with a pitch. She **offered interest first**—showed up, watched, asked real questions, treated him like a person instead of a billboard—and **only after a while** surfaced the possibility of an exchange of services. That patience is precisely why **Rain respected her and hired her**. Every other approach-shaped creature in the archive fails this test by moving too fast; Jenni cleared it by being willing to be present without demanding anything, and the commission came out of earned trust, not a cold pitch.
 
-In story terms, Jenni feels like a charming infiltrator: polite on the surface, but focused enough that the friendliness can also read as an advance, a recruitment attempt, or a lock-on.
+Once the commercial relationship opened, the register stayed consistent: polite, efficient, **businesslike with a cute mascot skin** (heavy `:3`, soft `xD`, playful exclamation points). She treats Rain the way a competent illustrator treats **any paying brand**: deliver, invoice, check in, apologize for delay, ask for a cross-platform shout-out. The court never quite registers her because she was never auditioning for it—she was earning a **client**, not a **throne seat**.
+
+Her art life matters: she is a working creator with a public **DeviantArt / Twitter** footprint, and her own bio lists **inflation** as one of her drawn kinks—though her posted gallery leans toward SFW commissions. Treat that as **characterization, not scandal**: it locates her in a very specific online-artist subculture and explains why she reads so comfortable around dragon / anthro / furry-adjacent clients like Rain without being part of his chorus.
 
 ## Battle Royale Function
-Jenni works as the social engineer: warm voice, direct eye contact, and a suspicious ability to turn casual chatter into rapid rapport.
+Jenni works best as the **commissioned outsider**: someone the court has to interact with because **she made things the court uses**—emotes, sub badges, maybe rigging work. She is not a gauntlet participant; she is the artist whose logo is on the merch. Visually, give her **clipboard / stylus energy**, a pouch or satchel over the cute mascot design, and a default register of "thank you for your payment :3" rather than chorus banter.
 
 ## Identity
-- Age / maturity: Age unspecified; maturity reads as socially controlled, patient, and deliberate.
+- Age / maturity: Age unspecified; maturity reads as **working-adult professional**—deadlines, invoices, client management. She is the most **operationally competent** creature in the archive.
 - Sex / gender: Female.
-- Sexuality: Intentionally irrelevant for this continuity.
-- Notes: Her identity matters less as a category than as a tactical mode of entry: she gets close by being calm, interested, and non-pushy.
+- Sexuality: Intentionally irrelevant for this continuity, though her kink-art portfolio ties her to fetish-art fandom spaces without that being the personality.
+- Notes: Her `:3` / `xD` habit and feline-muzzle mascot are **packaging** for a freelancer who writes invoices for a living. Under the cute frosting, she is **cash-register polite**, not court-hungry. The low quoted rate in the DM (~$3.33–$5/hour at four hours a day, six days a week) suggests either **developing-world pricing**, **early-career positioning**, or both—either way she works **cheap and reliably**, which is exactly why Rain hired her.
 
 ## Relationships
-Jenni barely engages the rest of the court in the archive. Almost all of her energy goes straight at Rain, which makes her feel less like a chorus regular and more like an outsider making a fast, focused entry. Even when Azure and Ubear are present, she does not seem interested in joining their social knot.
+Jenni barely engages the rest of the court in the archive. Almost all of her energy goes straight at Rain, but the DM archive shows **why**: she was never trying to join the chorus. The one-on-one focus is **client management**, not infiltration. Expect her to have **zero meaningful ties** to Azure, Ubear, Adrian, Starboy, or Agate in this continuity—she is adjacent to the show, not in it.
 
 ## Regard for Raincloud
-Jenni's regard for Rain reads as immediate interest and active rapport-seeking. She wants access, contact, and continued connection, but through warmth and direct approach rather than goblinized harassment. In court terms, she behaves like a newcomer trying to secure a private audience with the ruler.
+Jenni's regard for Rain is **vendor-to-patron** with a warm mascot overlay. She wants **the commission to go well, the next commission to happen, the invoice to be paid, and a shout-out on Bluesky** to drive referrals. She is consistently **grateful, apologetic about delays** (weddings, moving house), and **complimentary about his character/model** in the specific way artists talk about other people's IP ("cute character," "nice ref"). No flirtation of substance. No approval-seeking at the court level. She is being nice because **being nice is the job**—and also because she is, by local standards, genuinely kind.
+
+Rain, on his side, respects her precisely because of the **way she approached**—she offered **interest without immediacy**, let the relationship breathe, and only surfaced commercial terms once there was something real to transact on. That patience is rare in the archive and **earned the commission**. He then reads as a **patron / client**: pokes at her public bios with characteristic curiosity (notices the inflation-art line, comments on it), treats her as a creative peer when showing his own model ref, apologizes for invoicing delays, and keeps the exchange warm but firmly in commission-land. This is **not** one of the DM dyads where Rain is cold-by-default; it is Rain **being a customer to someone he actually respects**, which has its own polite register unrelated to his court behavior.

+- **Content shape:** emotes + sub badges commission, payment via PayPal, rigging discussed as an additional skill she offers, cross-promotion asks, references to her DeviantArt / Twitter (including an **inflation** bio line Rain notices), shipping timeline, and plain human chitchat about weddings, moving, and stream growth.
+- **Use:** writer / continuity only. Treat her as **not-chorus**: she appears when merch or a sub badge design appears on screen, not when the gauntlet is in session. Keep raw export **out of the repo**.
