Jennifer Anne Mordant (a.k.a. Jenn)
Jennifer was Jimmy's classmate. She later became a resistance activist.
Physical Description
Mental characteristics
Jennifer was born to parents Cora and Harold Mordant, both 5s. When she was five, 2074, she got a little sister, Josephine, who had Down syndrome. Harold wanted Cora to abort, but due to health complications, she couldn't. When Josephine was born, the family was informed that they would have to give up her child anyway. They could either send it away at once, to be raised in a care facility, or they could wait until the baby reached school age, at which point it would be taken away regardless. Cora wanted to keep Josephine with her for as long as she could. Her husband gave her an ultimatum: the baby or him. She chose the baby and Harold left.
With a disabled child, no one else wanted to marry Cora, but she made do working a decent job as a cook, and the family got by. Both Cora and Jennifer were heartbroken when Josephine was taken away from them, just after her fifth birthday.
Jennifer was already overweight by 10. When she hit her teens, she became even more so, and by the time she reached the age of her first assessment she was ranked as a 2, primarily due to her weight. Skin colour also tends to bring down caste in all but a few cases.
She was not paired for a First Time, which was fine by her. She had already realised when she hit puberty that she was attracted to girls and not boys, though she knew to keep it to herself. She finished her A-levels and was not eligible for higher education, and so became a cleaner. Soon thereafter, she joined the resistance.

History
Jenn and Jimmy were good friends when they were children, but after being bullied in school, Jenn became very withdrawn and she and Jimmy lost touch for a while. They became friends again for a bit when they were sixteen, and Jimmy confided in Jenn about his gender identity issues, though he never fully came out to her. They met again when Jimmy escaped from The Galton Institute and joined the Cambridge cell of The Queer Resistance.

Towards Alexa Fitzsimmons
History
As Alexa has a tendency to occasionally slum it to get away from her life and the paparazzi, the two met by chance in a bar where Alexa was meeting another lover. People don't tend to recognise you when they aren't expecting to see you, and Alexa always dresses down, but Jenn recognised her anyway. The two hit it off, and Alexa ended up going with Jenn to her house when the person she was supposed to meet didn't show up. They did not have sex that night, but they did the next time they met. Since then, they have never been seen together publicly.
Alexa does not find out that Jenn is part of the resistance until much later. At first, she feels used, worrying that Jenn only wanted to get close to her because of Bryce, but Jenn assures her that that isn't true, but also recruits her. Alexa is forced to keep this connection a secret at first, for her own protection as well as Bryce's.
