[edit] Roles
Jenna has appeared in all of the Balto movies. And in each one, she has had a different role.
[edit] Balto (1995)
In Balto, Jenna first meets Balto during the sled dog competition in the beginning of the movie. Balto spots Rosy's hat in the path of the sled dogs coming towards town. Trying to impress Jenna, Balto rushes into the road and tries to return Rosy's hat. But the movie's antagonist Steele thinks that Balto's trying to beat him. When Balto manages to avoid Steele, he returns Rosy's hat. When Balto sees Jenna again, he almost slides into her with just their noses touching. When Rosy becomes ill, Jenna grows worried about her and Balto journeys off after Steele's team(who have gotten lost in a snow storm while on their way back to Nome). When Jenna returned to watch Rosy from her window, she smells Balto's remains and notices his pawprints leading to out of Nome. She appears again during Balto's battle with a grizzly bear. She tries to fend the bear off but has no luck and is swatted away twice. When Balto and the bear fall below the frozen lake, Jenna is worried sick about Balto drowning. When Muk and Luk, Balto's polar bear friends surface from the lake with a unconscious Balto, she is over-joyed to see Balto. After Balto regains consciousness, Jenna warms Balto by snuggling with the shivering Balto. But when Balto and friends prepare to travel on, Jenna starts falling down. She was beaten too much during her short fight with the bear. Balto tell Muk, Luk and Boris to return Jenna to Nome as he continues after Steele's team, but not before giving Balto her bandana as a good luck charm. When Jenna returns to Nome, she tells the other dogs what Balto is doing. They laugh and say that Balto will fail. Then, a nearly frozen alive Steele appears in the door. Steele is carrying Jenna's bandana after his clash with Balto. After hearing his lie about how Balto perished and left Jenna in his care, she says that he's lying and Balto's coming home. Jenna then heads for the outer edge of Nome and puts the broken bottles that Balto showed her up against a mountain. The reflection of the light through them causes a Northern Lights to flash on the mountain side. She looks back and whispers "Balto". When she hears Balto howl as he re-enters Nome with Steele's team, she barks loud and happy that Balto's made it back. After some praise and love from the townsfolk and Rosy, Balto and Jenna see each other again on the front steps of the hospital. Jenna rubs her head against Balto and smiles. She is happy Balto's alive.
[edit] Balto II: Wolf Quest (2002)
