Born on the outskirts of London, England. Jenny Learned that It not only took brains, but guts as well to be known in life.She was determined at the age of two to be a detective. The First Girl Mouse Detective! Her Mother and Father Babied her, Spoiled her, and practically gave it all that they had for their "Darling Jenny." But before she had the spot light, someone else was in the center ring.
Professor Ratigan was adopted by Jenny's Parents, Sylvia and Alexander Ratigan, at the age of three. Ratigan loved his parents deeply and they too would give their life for him. Until the day the triplets were born. Youlanda, Sharice and Lana. Ratigan didn't care much at all for the girls. Actually they didn't bother him at all. Everything was in perfect harmony!
Until "She" was born. Sylvia and Alexander started ignoring the "Adopted" child. In fact never hardly showed any love for the boy at all. Ratigan was growing apart from the ones that he loved with all his heart. He felt betrayed, and convinced himself that they were evil. "Backstabers with the strength to wipeout a community", he thought. So one night he planned for the hardest thing that would be put before him. Murder!
On Jenny's third birthday the sun was shining and the birds were doing the usual chirping in the blue sky. Perfect for the Birthday of Sylvia's and Alexander's "Darling Jenny". Jenny did the usuall blowing out of the candles and opening of the presents. But when they went outside to take one picture of the family, Ratigan Dissapeared. For the first time Jenny wanted the boy in the picture, and so did his parents. When the picture was taken two cracks were fired. And when the smoke cleared. It revealed two dead mice laying on the ground. Jenny's eyes widened, and was picked up by her oldest sister Youlanda. She motioned for the girls to follow her. They ran as hard as they could to get away from the place known as their home. Jenny looked back one last time and saw something in the bushes. It was Ratigan and he had a gun in his hand.
Later that day they were picked up by a hevey set mouse who offered the triplets a job. Jenny didn't want anything to do with it. Youlanda plainly explained to the young mouse that they needed a place to stay and money for food. Jenny then reconsidered.
For three years Jenny worked at the Rat Trap saloon as a very young barmaid. While her three sisters sang and danced on stage. One evening Jenny was carring a couple of beers to a table in the back, when she was tripped. The Beer flew out of her hands and splashed one of the women at the bar. Scared as she was Jenny fled to the front of the Bar only to be torchured and smacked at. Her sisters were gone that night and couldn't save her.
The minute that Youlanda heard of the beating that Jenny got, She rushed up to her room to find a small six year old mouse on her bed out cold covered in bruses and cuts. Youlanda never forgave herself for leaving that night. Crying on Jenny's bed barried in her arms, Youlanda saw Jenny awoke telling in a weak voice that she was determined to get her and her sisters out of that horrid place.
Ten Years later, and just like anyother girl Jenny hoped to have the best for her sweet sixteenth birthday. And she did. Her Older Sister invited her into their dressing room and gave her a necklace with a small Magnifying Glass charm. She was stunned. That same night a young mouse entered the Rat Trap unknowing of the danger of even being there. He stood tall and was good looking for his age. He had a grey sute on and held a novel in his right coat pocket. In other words he was a teenage boy looking for some rough action that night. He sat down at one of the tables waiting patiently for someone to wait on him.
Jenny scampared down the stairs only to be yelled at by her boss telling her to get to the tables and do her job like she was supposed to do. Jenny sighed and took her tray. Walked over to the table and asked the boy what he would like. Unforchantly he had his nose in the book he was carring. Jenny walked back over to the bar table and grabed a couple of drinks. Everyone in the bar that night knew it was Jenny's birthday. Specially one thug that felt she needed another present.
When Jenny walked pased him he wistled. Jenny just put her nose in the air and pranced by. Flustrated and ambarrised the thug triped Jenny making the drinks fly out of her hands as they did before. Splashing a man in his late thirties. The man glared at Jenny and stormed toward her. Jenny Fled to the back of the room looking for her sisters. They weren't around. Jenny crouched down in a corner shelding her self from the abuse that was going to be brought before her. When the man raised his hand toward Jenny, his rist was grabed, and pulled behind his back while his face was slamed against the wall. "That is no way to treat a lady!" spoke a voice.
Jenny looked up to see a angry mouse standing before her. He straightened him self up and held out his hand to Jenny helping her back on her feet. "Are you alright my dear?", he asked. Then Jenny noticed who it was. It was the boy that ignored her at the table. "I'm uuuuhhhh... fine sir", she answered holding back her hand and grabing her tray. The boy smiled and held his hand out once more. "Hello, allow me to introuduce my self madam", the boy anounced, then looked at the abusive man in smite, "my name is....." But when he looked back at Jenny, she had vannished. Dissapointed and worried the boy left the bar never to return.
