Jennifer Jane Parker was born in 1968 in Hill Valley, California. The novel for Part II says her birthday is October 29th, but that would make her 46 on October 21st, 2015 and she is clearly said to be 47 on that date. She is the girlfriend of Marty McFly, having met him at Hill Valley High School where they both attend in 1985.

Jennifer appears to be doing quite well in school and is rarely late, unlike Marty. Jennifer and Marty seem to be "serious" enough for him to introduce her to his best friend, local inventor Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, who is regarded as eccentric and strange by many townspeople.

Jennifer has a mainly positive attitude to life, knowing what to say to Marty if he needs cheering up, and wondering what happy life she has in the future. A draft script said that Jennifer (known as "Suzy" in the draft) was seeing a psychiatrist, but no mention of this is ever made in the films or novels. There is a theory that she doesn't get along with her father, by the way she says, "It's my dad" to Marty in the first film, but she could have just been annoyed at her father interrupting her kiss.

Other than her father and grandma, no family members were ever mentioned in the films, although the animated series reveals that Jennifer's paternal grandparents own a ranch just outside Hill Valley, which has been in the Parker family since at least the 1870s.
