Jake Briggs
  Jake is the subject of gossip because of his friendship with Jenny, but he doesn't care what anyone else thinks. Sometimes though, her flights of fancy leave him confused. Most of the time though, Jake shares the same social conscience as Jenny and will throw himself into whatever campaign she's leading. He's also good with computers and is a good leader.
