Jenny Flint

Jenny was the companion to (and maid of) the Silurian Madame Vastra. They operated from London, in the late 19th century. Jenny and Vastra were romantically involved with one another; she got quite jealous when Vastra showed interest in other people.

Jenny intially worked as a match girl. She first met Vastra when she was attacked and molested by the Tongs. Out of work, Vastra decided to hire Jenny as her maid, companion and romantic partner.

Among the many allies the Doctor had recruited, she along with her lover were among the few to survive the attack of the headless monks. She displayed excellent skills with a sword during the battle. She comforted Amy Pond afterwards, and later returned to her own time with Vastra. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)
