Global Robot Response Unit XJ-9, alias "Jenny" XJ-9 Wakeman is the protagonist of My Life as a Teenage Robot, a teenage female superhero robot created by Mrs. Wakeman, and called Jenny Wakeman at her high school. She was built to save the world from evil. However, she has free will and frequently rebels against her creator, in a manner typical of modern teenagers.

Jenny stands at 6 feet (1.82 m) tall. She has blue pigtails, with bolts connecting from her head to pigtails, blue hair, white skin, blue clothes, she has a tank top and bottom, a belly bolt (a bolt that simulates a belly button), feet that mix with the shoes, arms with lines in the middle, hands with 4 fingers that have holes in the center, no ears, and a "false nose".

Jenny's personality is that of the eager young teenager, one who desires a sense of freedom, but also wants acceptance from her peers. She likes anything pertaining to teenage activities, but hates it when her mother or her duties get in her way of her enjoyment. Unfortunately, she is easily trusting of others and, as a result, can be quite naïve. The Krust Cousins, Brit and Tiff, have often taken advantage of Jenny's kind and trusting nature.

Jenny's desire for acceptance has also earned her the attention of the all-robotic Cluster Empire, whose queen, Vexus, desires to bring Jenny into the Cluster in the name of "liberation from humanity". But no matter how badly she suffers from her human peers, Jenny continues to stick up for them, much to Vexus's confusion and anger.

Because of her low standings on the social ladder at school, Jenny has only a few friends. Brad and Tuck Carbunkle are her closest pals, for they were the first two friends Jenny ever got to know in all of her five years of activation. Sheldon Lee, the local nerd at school is another friend of hers, but only because of his crush on her and the fact that he won't leave her alone. Ex-Teen Team member Misty and the princess of Cluster Prime, Vega, are also close friends that Jenny has gotten to know.

Jenny is voiced by Janice Kawaye, who also provides the voice for the animated version of Ami Onuki on Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.
