It also fails to explain her connection to Ben both the Sparrow variant and the others.
I definitely wanted to know more about Jennifer’s role in the story.
Unfortunately, her arc was over just as it began.

It’s not entirely clear why Jennifer was born from this massive creature.
How Jennifer became the host of Durango particles is also never addressed.
Abigail explains that by creating Marigold, she also created Durango.

Perhaps the series should have introduced Jennifer sooner, allowing itself more time to dig into her origin.
But using this rationale, Jennifer could have been attracted to any of the Hargreeves siblings.
They all have Marigold in their systems, yet only Ben feels a pull towards Jennifer.
InThe Umbrella Academyseason 3,Sparrow Ben has sketches of Jennifer in his bedroom.
If he recalls enough about Jennifer to draw her, Ben should recognize her in New Grumpson.
I’m baffled thatThe Umbrella Academyoverlooks this, though I can come up with a possible explanation for it.
The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book of the same name created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. The Hargreeves — collectively known as The Umbrella Academy — were born with superpowers, and their adoptive father utilized their abilities. However, as they grew older, the siblings grew apart as they dealt with their trauma. They are brought back together after their father dies and Five returns from the future with grave news: The world will end, and The Umbrella Academy has to stop it before it happens.
If he recalls enough about Jennifer to draw her, Ben should recognize her in New Grumpson.
Ben and Jennifer only met as kids, leaving Ben to imagine what she looks like as an adult.
As such, he may not recognize the real Jennifer when he sees her.
This may be whatThe Umbrella Academyis going for, but the show never clarifies.
It won’t get another chance, so some closure feels warranted.
However, as they grew older, the siblings grew apart as they dealt with their trauma.
