"There are many ladies of negotiable virtue in Fallen London, but Sinning Jenny is certainly the most notorious. She is said to have strangled quite a senior devil with a pair of scarlet stockings, a gift from Mr Wines. Although there seems to be some confusion about whether this was in fact a paid service."

(Probably not the sort of girl you could take home to your parents.)

Sinning Jenny, a prioress from Abbey Rock, runs the Parlour of Virtue. (Yes, a nun running a brothel!) She is a favorite of the Masters, especially Mr Wines. She was also Mayor of London for a year after winning the 1894 election in a landslide, having run on a platform of social reform under the slogan "Fortune Favours the Bold".

Despite her friendship with Mr Wines, Jenny is sympathetic towards-if not outright allied with-London's revolutionaries. She advocates for fair treatment of workers and for an end to child labor.^[1] She respects the Jovial Contrarian^[2] and Furnace Ancona^[3]. She also has a close relationship with April of the Calendar Council^[4][5] who worked with her in order to kill the Vake^[6].
