Jen Rice

Jen Rice is the main character, the heroine of the Jen Rice story. She is grouchy, grumpy, and far too willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Work Life
Jen started off working for Hawkeyes Security, a private sector security firm. However, her personal feud with Hyatt Response and her unwillingness to let slide the murder of a werewolf (in front of her, no less) caused her no end of trouble at Hawkeyes.

While on suspension, Jen recieved a phone call from David Melrose, Director for New World Response, asking her to come in and talk to him about the events that had led to her suspension. She agreed, and her life has never been the same since.

Family Life
Jen has two sisters and two brothers.

Jaime works as an advertising consultant in New York and doesn't have many chances to get together with her family. She is the oldest girl and, try as she did, never managed to turn Jen into a girl as well.

Mary is not only the youngest girl, she is the youngest of all the Rice siblings. She is currently in school to become a vetrenarian.

Patrick is the oldest of the siblings, and looks nothing like any of them. He has flaming red hair and a wide, solid build. Although nobody would ever say as much, there appears to be a skeleton or two in the Rice family closet.

Jen's twin brother Todd is a full-fledged mage. He was sent off for magical training when he and Jen were still young, and he stil hasn't forgiven himself for leaving her the way he did. He perfected his scrying spell quickly, partly because he was an excellent student, but mostly to help him check in on Jen. Even if he wasnt there, seeing her in his scryglass helped to make him feel less homesick.

Favorites
Not as complex as some of the other characters in the series, Jen Rice has a handful of definite "do" and "don't" items on her lists. Even worse, she's not afraid to let people know what she thinks!

Her Jeep is high on the list of favorites. It was her first vehicle, and she treasures it like she assembled it herself. In a way, she did... that truck has enough bolt-on hardware to make Dr. Frankenstein flinch.

Taco King. It's a definite yes. Jen can't cook (understatement there!) so she survives on takeout and whatever she can avail herself to of her friends' fridges. By and far, Taco King is her favorite place to eat. Hail to the King!

Beene Brothers Coffeehouse. Another resounding "Yes!" Never a morning person, Jen just isn't herself until she's had four shots of Beene Brothers and some coconut for flavor. That was nice, now hand her another one, thank you!
