Jenny Calendar is a fictional character played by Robia LaMorte in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Jenny Calendar was a Sunnydale High computer science teacher whose modern approach did not sit well with Rupert Giles. She called herself a techno-pagan and was a member of a cyber-coven. She assisted the Scooby Gang in the first two seasons. As they worked together against evil, Ms. Calendar and Mr. Giles gradually fell in love.
After Buffy lost her virginity to Angel (Surprise), Jenny was revealed to be Janna of the Kalderash gypsy clan, which had cursed Angel with his soul and years later sent Jenny to watch over him. Jenny was not told that Angel would lose his soul, but the Scooby Gang was still angry that she had concealed her identity. She decided to make up to Buffy by attempting another restoration and translated spell using a computer. The mad seer Drusilla sensed her plan and warned Angelus, who killed her before she could cast the curse. He left her dead body in Giles's bed with a trail of romantic symbols leading to the scene (Passion). Rupert was devastated and attempted revenge by himself. Xander viewed Jenny's murder as evidence that Angel was beyond redemption.
In the season two finale, Drusilla manipulated a badly tortured Giles into seeing her as Ms. Calendar and revealing what was needed to activate Acathla and suck the world into hell. The First Evil assumed her image again in season three (Amends) to torment Angel into killing Buffy (or himself, it did not mind).
Trivia
Robia LaMorte has, since the filming of her role as Jenny Calendar, become a born-again Christian and critical of many of the ideas expressed by her character.
The character was originally intended to be named "Nikki Calendar", but this was changed to avoid on-set confusion with actor Nicholas "Nicky" Brendon.
