Beware!! Hella mega spoilers

Okay so, as you may already know, Jenette Margarita is a child conceived through black magic by Anastacius (Claude’s older brother) and Penelope Judith (Claude’s former fiancée).

However, there is something very important to note: in the novel, it’s very well specified that Jenette is neither human or Anastacius’ « child »: just as Lucas said, she’s just something that « exists ». Her jewelled eyes are caused by the fact that Anastacius used a few drops of his blood to create her. Therefore, she has no royal blood or magic (contrary to Anastacius, Claude and Athanasia). Her eyes regain their true color (green, just like Penelope) after her magic/mana is sealed by Karax. So she’s basically a Penelope’s « clone » so to say. Penelope was persuaded that her baby would give her glory and success.

The ones to name her were probably her aunt and Roger Alpheus. They gave her the name Jenette, a « perfect name for a princess », as it means « God is gracious » (because they couldn’t give her an eternity/immortality related name, as the emperor would be the one one to do so). When she was a child, she overheard her aunt talking with duchess Alpheus: they were unsure that Jenette truly was Claude’s child, but Jenny didn’t really minded it.

Remember that in order to forget Diana and Athanasia’s existence, Claude used black magic, but he ended up hating them instead. He was kinda weakened by that black magic, and it worsened with Jenette’s apparition, as she unconsciously used her black magic to make him love her (she also used it on pretty much everyone). Jenette was basically absorbing Claude’s vital energy like a leech.

In a spin-off of the novel, Athanasia ends up in the Lovely Princess world, and has to switch places with that world’s Athanasia (let’s call her LP!Athy). She noticed that LP!Jenette seems to kinda brag about Claude’s affection to her (LP!Jenette thinks she’s LP!Athy), and under her breath, she (our Athanasia) calls her a cuckoo (because cuckoos place their eggs in other bird’s nests, and once they hatch, baby cuckoos kick-off the real bird’s eggs to take their place and survive. Athanasia is basically saying that LP!Jenette is a cuckoo that stole LP!Athy’s dad and position). But LP!Jenette hears her, and also under her breath, tells her « I’m not the cuckoo »: LP!Jenette knows that Claude is not her real dad (I don’t know how she knows though. Remember that contrary to the manhwa, Anastacius is definitely dead so he can’t be the one to tell her), but she estimates that because Claude killed her father and mother, depriving her of her family and her status of crown princess, he must repent by spoiling her and taking care of her instead of Athanasia. So according to her, LP!Athanasia is the real cuckoo, as she « tries » to steal her rightful position.

Claude gets in a coma because of some LP!Lucas doings, so Jenette, as the heir and older princess, should be the one taking care of the Empire, but she absolutely refuses, despite her aunt and duke Alpheus’ insistence, because she wants to stay be her father’s side. So LP!Athanasia is the one who must take care of it. Everyone is kinda mean to her at first, but they realise that she is very capable despite her lack of experience concerning state affairs. Jenette is totally a spoiled child. She never helped Athanasia, who was sick a few days before that.

Yes, dear friends, the sweet Jenette is quite dark and mean. And sadly, it’s not only in the world of The Lovely Princess:

Contrary to what happens in the webtoon, Athanasia doesn’t hide in the Alpheus when she is escaping from Claude, but she does visit Jenette once, so they don’t create a great bond like in the manhwa, and Claude never calls Jenette to calm his headaches. After Claude regains his memories, he tells Athanasia to distance herself from Jenette because he doesn’t like her (after meeting her at the debutante, he understood that she was Penelope and Anastacius’ child) , and Athanasia instead becases great friends with marquis Elaine’s daughter, Helena Elaine (aka lily girl who is in love with the lone black wolf, Lucas). She and Claude even visit the Elaine estate quite often, so Claude can have tea with the marquis while Athy and Helena have fun.

So Jenette keeps longing for her « family »’s love, but she feels rejected, and starts feeling jealousy of Athanasia and having magic « crises ». She even unconsciously injured Ijekiel because she did not want to him to meet Athanasia, because she is in love with Ijekiel but knows that he loves Athanasia.

Very soon, she begins to distance herself from Athanasia, because even if she still loves her, she feels bad whenever she sees her and hates feeling like that. She even avoids Athanasia at social events.

When she meets Lucas, she says that she wants his attention, because she’s kinda jealous of his relationship with Athanasia. She tells herself « If Athanasia is friends with him, why couldn’t I? ». But Lucas totally and bluntly tells her that he wants nothing to do with her. Jenette tells him « but you’re not like that with Athanasia! And Athanasia is my friend so you shouldn’t talk like that to me ». Lucas is kinda pissed so he tells her that contrary to her, Athanasia is an important person who works a lot for the well-being of the Empire and that she shouldn’t address to the princess so familiarly.

One day, she meets them (Lucathy) with Ijekiel and tells that they look like great, intimate friends (which is like. Something super impolite to say to an unmarried princess) to hurt Ijekiel. Lucas warns her to be correct to the princess, and that if it weren’t for Athanasia’s forgiveness, she would have already arrested for insulting the royal family.

At some point, Roger Alpheus (who even kinda appreciates Athy now, lol) decided that it was for the better not to present her to Claude, as he knew that she would never get his favours and affection, but Jenette insists and keeps throwing tantrums because she feels betrayed. He doesn’t want her to go to the party celebrating Atlanta’s delegation’s departure, but she uses her magic on him to convince him.

At the party, she states that she hates her behaviour but doesn’t feel guilty about it. She declares her feelings to Ijekiel, but he rejects her (quite sweetly though: he tells her that he’s profoundly sorry for hurting her. He knows the pain of unrequited love and never wanted to inflict it to her. He adds that he could never see her as a woman, but that she is his precious little sister. He adds that not everything in life can go as she wants and that he can’t always follow her decisions, which makes her bad because she thinks that nothing has ever went as she wants). Then, she gets angry and tells him that just like he doesn’t love her back, Athanasia will never love him back. She really enjoys that Ijekiel is almost about to cry, and that for once, she isn’t the sad one. Ijekiel tells her that he is happy as long as Athanasia is happy, even if it’s with another man. Jenette tells him that it’s stupid.

She is shocked to see that Ijekiel won’t go back about his feelings, because she always assumed that she would marry him and become the next duchess Alpheus (I assume she had already understood that she wouldn’t get the crown princess title).

She wants her loved ones to suffer just like she did, and firmly believes that she deserves Claude’s love way more than Athanasia because she has longed for it during all her life, and that Athanasia doesn’t deserve Ijekiel’s love. As Ijekiel keeps trying to confort her and rejecting her, she slaps him, but he only asks her to forgive him and hugs her.

Once Claude tells her that he is not her father, she calls Athanasia a thief who stole Claude away from her. Claude tells her that the only reasons why he did not kill her were that she was the proof of Penelope and Anastacius/ failure, and because Athanasia likes her. She notices that Athanasia always knew that they were not sisters and calls her a liar, and tries to kill/hurt her using her black magic. She creates a dark magic storm.

Claude calls the head of the Black Tower (he’s the one who tried to cure Athy when she was 8 but failed. He’s an especialist in mana), who tells him that her mana is disgusting and darkened by her hate and dark feelings. She doesn’t have a drop of royal blood or magic. Athy asks Lucas to seal her mana without killing her.

Jenette falls unconscious and Ijekiel and Roger appear. Ijekiel begs pardon to Claude, and to Jenny because he was unable to stop her and take care of her.

Later, she is transported to an room of the Emerald palace instead of a prison because Athanasia asked for it, despite Claude and Lucas’s disagreements. Once she wakes up, Jenette tells Athy that her whole life was hell because she was always faking to be someone she’s not (aka being sweet, polite…) and that she would rather die or be an orphanage’s child than be an evil man (Anastacius)’s daughter. She tells that the one who she thought to be her sister was only the child of a liar (Diana) and a killer (Claude). She hates Claude because he killed her father.

She refuses to talk to Athanasia, and only keeps insulting her and she even throws things at her (I’m not sure about that). Felix and the other guards are very kind to her, respecting her privacy but she doesn’t want their pity or affection (because she knows that Athanasia must have been the one to ask them to be kind to her).

In the end, neither she or the Alpheus family are killed by Claude, because Athanasia pleaded in their favor (stating that they ended up not doing anything and they couldn’t have known that Jenette was Anastacius’ child. Athanasia really doesn’t want to see Jenette dead.) Then Claude asked himself “what kind of man/father would I be if I killed my daughter’s friend?” AND THAT’S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RELATIONSHIP CLAUDE/JENETTE IN THE LOVELY PRINCESS AND CLAUDE/ATHY IN WMMAP.

So Jenette and the Alpheus are exiled (to Atlanta I think???), but Claude whipped mr. White’s hands as a punition 😭😂

Jenette and Athy started exchanging letters back some time after that.

Later, Athanasia’s friends are talking about Jenette and they say that they feel like she’s was actually not that pretty and kinda weird (because the effects of her black magic on them disappeared). Athanasia also noticed that without her black magic, Jenette was kinda “ugly”.

I think that’s all ^^’ I hope this wasn’t too messy and that there are not too much grammatical errors

I hope you liked this ^.^ What are your opinions of Jenny now?

(I just want to clarify that I’m not a Jenette hater. I dislike her behaviour but please don’t spread out your hate in the comments. I did not invent any of this. It really happened in the original novel.)
