personality
Princess:: Not overly spoiled or anything. But Jeny is the baby of her family, and thus doted upon. She believes Guillermo is jealous, since so much responsibility was put on him.
Kind:: Jeny can be a brat sometimes. But so can anyone. Once you get past the Salas-Ortiz toughie face, she is the most loving, giving, generous creature you have ever met. She is a sympathetic soul, and loves helping people.
Naive:: As much as she hates to have it pointed out to her, in most aspects of her life Jeny is pretty innocent. This means: No sex, no drugs, no alcohol has occurred thus far in her life.
WHATTA ROMANTIC THIS GIRL IS!:: Jeny is such a little bohemian. Freedom, Beauty, Truth, and above all other things LOVE, are the most important values to her. Her Father's divorce had the opposite effect on the sister than it did for the brother. Guillermo saw his Father weaken, pining away for a woman. Jeny saw her Father never ceasing to love a woman who hurt him so. It was all terribly romantic.
past Jeny was raised in El Paso Texas, by her parents, and with her older brother Guillermo. The family was fairly happy, as far as families go. In her younger years, Jeny was a spunky little tomboy. She played soccer, ran around, scraped her knee. And her and Guillermo were as close as siblings who had four years between them could be. He was protective, ever looming to beat the snot out of a bully. True, it was over bearing, but Jeny loved that he cared so much for her.
However, things were not as happy in the home front as Enrique and Lorena left the children to believe. And soon this became apparent. The fighting became louder, the tension became tenser. And when Jeny turned twelve, her Mother gave up. Just poof, no more marriage. It was a crushing blow for little Jeny, and when made to choose who she would live with, she opted to go to Springfield with her Father and Brother.
But things were different. Guillermo turned... ugly. He was sour, harsh, cruel even. And with puberty brimming out of Jeny's ears, she too changed. No longer did she want to be the girl at school who couldn't hold a boys hand because she was too busy high fiving them. Enrique tried to keep his children united, but it was too little avail. The divorce devastated the family.
Guillermo eventually left, a great blow to Jeny, even if he claimed that he wasn't their brother. She felt abandoned, and left to deal with her Father's sadness alone. Her Mother remarried, to some Joe-whats-his-name with a pretty little son. Jeny was replaced, unneeded, unloved by all but her Father (or so she felt). But the household calmed, and Jeny watched her Father's distress at the tense phone conversations he would have with his son.
And then her Father's death happened. Enrique died of a heart attack, a couple weeks after his daughters eighteenth birthday. It was fitting, Jeny thought after some time, that he died of a broken heart. She was filled with so much anger. At her Mother for giving up on their family. At her Brother for being a dickface. At the Martin's, for just existing. So she left. Vanished. Poof.
present
And she decided New York made the most sense. She had applied to many colleges, and as she had gotten into J. Barrie anyway, it just worked. On the way up from El Paso, she saw the sights, enjoyed herself. It occurred to her that maybe she should call someone, but she decided against it. She'd see her Brother when she got to New York anyway. It wasn't like she couldn't take care of herself.
So once she got there, Jeny saw the sites, looked up Guillermo in the white pages, and decided to take it from there.

book title The Books of Oz
backstory AWhile still an infant, Ozma, the daughter of the former King Pastoria of Oz, was given to the witch Mombi by the Wizard of Oz, as he worried that Ozma would someday challenge his illegitimate rule as Oz's de facto dictator. Mombi then transformed Ozma into a boy and called him "Tip" (short for Tippetarius). Ozma, in the form of Tip, lived as a boy through his childhood, and had no memory of ever having been a girl. As Tip, Ozma created Jack Pumpkinhead. In The Marvelous Land of Oz, Glinda the good witch forced Mombi to transform the boy Tip back into Ozma, and she was installed as Oz's ruler (although many realms within Oz were and remain unaware of her authority). Baum was not inclined to worry about things like continuity among his books, however, and so Ozma changed frequently. In her initial appearance, she was described as a cherubic little girl with red-gold hair; however, most subsequent illustrations of the Princess show her as dark-haired, though this is noted in the text only many years later in "The Lost King of Oz" when Pastoria places the crown of Oz on her "dark curls". According to Ozma of Oz, she appears to be the same height and age as Dorothy Gale. According to The Tin Woodman of Oz, Princess Ozma appears to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and thus several years older than Dorothy. However, in Glinda of Oz, Queen Coo-ee-oh is described as "a girl who looked older than Ozma or Dorothy -- fifteen or sixteen." But Ozma's origins changed even more than her appearance. At first she is the daughter of Pastoria, described as a regular (except for her royal position) little girl. Then a hint of a change in her origins comes in the form of a remark by General Guph in "Emerald City of Oz" that Ozma has a fairy wand. Later in the series, Baum declares that Ozma herself is a fairy, not just a regular little girl and that she was left behind at the age of three months to rule Oz by the fairy Queen Lurline. The Shaggy Man of Oz (written by Jack Snow, long after Baum's death) explains that she is several hundred years old, and was one of a band of fairies who waited on Queen Lurline, who left her behind to rule Oz.
