Biography
Jennifer "Jen" Scotts
In the distant future of the year 3000, Jennifer was an officer for the Time Force Police, which has nearly eradicated crime. The only remaining villain was a mutant named Ransik. Jen was present - as were many other Time Force operatives - when the Red Time Force Ranger, Alex, managed to arrest Ransik and take him for trial. Jen similarly attended the trial with Alex, whom she had been dating for some time and who, it is later revealed, was also the one that had helped her pass the Time Force entrance exam. With Ransik captured, Alex proposed to Jen and she accepted. Whether anything could have come from this relationship is unknown, because Jen and her team were waylaid while transporting Ransik to the cryo-prison. Though they attempted to chase him down, they arrived just in time to see Ransik strike down Alex before escaping into the past. With his final breath, Alex charged her and her team (Lucas, Trip and Katie) with travelling into the past and apprehending Ransik again. He gave her his Red Chronomorpher, and informed her of four similar Chronomorphers that they could use to become Time Force Rangers. Distraught by the apparent death of her lover, she did as he had asked and travelled to the year 2001, where she and the others were stranded in the fictional town of Silver Hills.
Unfortunately, as the four Time Force operatives discovered, the four Chronomorphers would not work without the Red Chronomorpher. They were forced to recruit Wesley Collins, a local man with a genetic resemblance to Alex, despite Jen's objections. Jen became the Pink Time Force Ranger and leader of the team. Seeing only the differences between Wes and Alex, she refused to let Wes join the team until he saved them at Trip's urging. It took some time, but she was finally able to accept him for who he was. In return, Wes helped them adjust to 21st century life - by providing an abandoned clock tower as a place to stay, and present-day clothes. Discovering that the clock tower had once been home to a business, Jen decided to open the store for their keep. When Wes' father, Mr Collins, discovered the identities of the Rangers, he attempted to hire them behind Wes' back, but Jen along with the others refused him. Over time, Jen developed true affection for Wes. However, when Alex mysteriously returned, seemingly from the dead, and stripped Wes of the Red Time Force Ranger powers, Jen found herself asking which of them she loved more. Alex had become bitter and stern, "following the book" to the degree that he would accept no suggestions beyond his own, unlike Wes who was team-oriented and friendly. Ironically, it was the differences between Wes and Alex that made her choose Wes. Alex returned to the future, finally convinced that Wes was right for the job. Wes also seems to change Alex back a bit as he saves Mr. Collins admitting that Wes changed his views. Alex is revealed to still deeply care for Jen because as soon as he hears that she's in trouble he sends Wes that Strata Cycle saying that since he's not there himself he trusts Wes to take care of Jen for him. This causes Wes to start to back off because he thinks Jen and Alex are still perfect for each other not realizing that Jen was starting to fall for him more.
Their romance would not last as a rift in time started to form over Silver Hills whereupon Ransik prepared his final assault. In response, Wes traps Jen and the other Rangers in their own time ship, set to travel back to 3000. Upon arrival, Jen learns from Alex that Wes was killed in the eventual fight. Furthermore, Jen and the other Rangers had to, by Time Force policy, have their memories of the past wiped clean. Not wanting to lose Wes, either from his death or from having her memory wiped clean, Jen convinces her fellow Power Rangers to return back in time to help him in battle, while at the same time, formally ending her engagement with Alex. That visibly hurt him but he accepted it telling them to take the Time Force Megazord in Jet Mode as it had the best chance of making the trip. Their intervention saved Wes, and Ransik voluntarily turned himself in. Unfortunately, with the mission over, Jen and Wes were forced to part ways. Though she knew that she had loved Wes - and told him so - she could not stay in 2001 with him. Jen returned to the past when she was assigned to track down the three mysterious Mut-Orgs (Rofang, Kired, and Takach), but had apparently disappeared. Her travels took her back in time to 2002, Jen now cloaked and spied on the Mut-Orgs who gathered on a rooftop, while she watched from the shadows, Jen uses a strange device to translate the strange language of the Mut-Orgs, listening to their plans that are to contaminate the Earth. Create more Orgs, and dominate the future, the Mut-Orgs listening to the device and their search to where it is. Jen is now watching the monsters from a ledge above and later leaves with the information acquired. Wes got injured enough by Rofang, but when the Mut-Org leader is about to finish him, it is stopped by some blast shots from high up. It turns out to be Jen in a cloak, armed with a special gun that can temporarily harm the Mut-Orgs. She helps Wes, Eric, and the Wild Force Rangers get away.
During her return to the past, she meets Wes again, who was upset that she was in the past for a week and did not contact him. Jen apologizes and it is clear that she and Wes are still deeply in love with each other. Jen and the other Rangers heard Circuit contacting them and says that reinforcements are on the way in the Time Ship. The rest of the Rangers meet the time ship on the beach.

Over time, Jen developed true affection for Wes. However, when Alex mysteriously returned, seemingly from the dead, and stripped Wes of the Red Time Force Ranger powers, Jen found herself asking which of them she loved more. Alex had become bitter and stern, "following the book" to the degree that he would accept no suggestions beyond his own, unlike Wes who was team-oriented and friendly. Ironically, it was the differences between Wes and Alex that made her choose Wes. When Alex's actions nearly caused them to lose to Dragontron, Jen ends up yelling at Alex for the way he treated everyone, calling Wes the better Ranger and getting Alex to give up his Morpher to Wes. Wes immediately proves Jen right by easily destroying Dragontron when Alex had a hard time. Alex returned to the future, finally convinced that Wes was right for the job. Wes also seems to change Alex back a bit as he saves Mr. Collins admitting that Wes changed his views. Alex is revealed to still deeply care for Jen because as soon as he hears that she's in trouble he sends Wes the Strata Cycle saying that since he's not there himself he trusts Wes to take care of Jen for him. This causes Wes to start to back off because he thinks Jen and Alex are still perfect for each other (after what Alex did he can understand what Jen saw in him) not realizing that Jen was starting to fall for him more.

Comic Books
- In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2018 Annual (2018), Jen Scotts appeared in the setting of the BOOM! Studios comic continuity. When events set into motion by Lord Drakkon caused the timeline to split into pocket universe, each anchored on a powerset. The Time Rangers were split off into their own pocket universe. Jen Scotts and her fellow Time Force Rangers, including Wes, observe a crack in space-time. The team gets closer to the fracture and attempt to repair it, but a sudden explosion expels her teanmates Trip, Katie, and Lucas from the Time Force Megazord, and they are sucked into the growing fracture. Jen, realizes that the fracture must have been caused by someone interfering with the past. She plans to find out what happened and prevent this, while Wes covers her escape. As Jen flies out and begins the chronal transition, she watches as the Megazord explodes from the instability of the fracture. Jen has no time to process her grief before an enormous, shadowy figure reaches through the void at her. As she flies away, the transition activates and Jen travels back to the root of the problem. Jen arrives in the present as Kimberly the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger is battling Drakkon after he has killed Tommy. Using her V-Weapon alongside Kim, they are able to drive Drakkon away. Jen collapses while Kim goes to Tommy and pleads with him to be alive. In the Command Center, the Rangers wait while Alpha 5 and Zordon try to heal Tommy while Jen lies in a coma from the strain of time travel, over the next five days after Tommy's funeral. Jen reveals to the Rangers who she is, and the chronal fracture that led to the death of her teammates, while they investigate the anomaly temporal. She then shows the Rangers the timeline of the various Power Rangers that come after them in a linear line; but because of this fracture the timelines have folded in upon themselves. Jen then explains that the Time Force had a theory that in order to protect this world, the Morphin Grid fractured the timeline of the main world; breaking each era of Power Rangers history into its own pocket universe. Jen gives her Transportal technology to Billy and Trini, for to connect the remains of the Black Dragon; with the thought being that since they can't go backwards in time, they should be able to go across the eras to get to the World of the Coinless, but Jen and the other Rangers sees how Lord Drakkon and his Sentries defeated all the team of the Samurai Rangers morph into their Rangers forms. Jen and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are transported in the specific place, finding Lauren Shiba. When the Mastodon Sentries used a Black Dragon Cannon to revert them back to their human forms but fortunately, Billy uses a pulse to interrupt the attack and transported to the Command Center in the Mighty Morphin pocket dimension with Lauren.
