Jenova

Character from Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix

An alien entity that crash-landed on the Planet two thousand years ago, nearly wiping out the Cetra, now used by Shinra as a bioweapon catalyst and by Sephiroth as an instrument of apocalypse.

Also known as: Jenova, The Calamity from the Skies, Calamity, Mother, J-E-N-O-V-A

What They Know

• Alien entity that crash-landed on the Planet approximately 2000 years ago at what became the Northern Crater
• Nearly exterminated the Cetra by mimicking their forms, infiltrating their settlements, and spreading a devastating plague
• Possesses the ability to shapeshift and create illusions by reading the memories and desires of those near it
• Jenova's cells are the foundation of Shinra's SOLDIER enhancement program and all related experiments including Project S
• The Reunion instinct causes all beings infused with Jenova cells to be drawn toward the main body or toward Sephiroth
• Whether Sephiroth controls Jenova or Jenova controls Sephiroth through maternal manipulation is deliberately ambiguous
• The body housed in Shinra HQ is incomplete — pieces were distributed to various research facilities and continue to act independently
• The Planet itself treats Jenova as a foreign infection, and the Lifestream actively rejects Jenova-tainted souls
