Jen Crane (nee Weston) is a character on Defying Gravity portrayed by Christina Cox, and by Genea Charpentier as a young girl.The wise-talking Canadian biologist on Antares, Jen Crane suffers no fools. She's the friend you hope to have: wise and supportive, with an opinion on everything. However, Jen is also a quiet, stubborn enemy whom you wouldn't want to cross.
Though she dated Ted Shaw during training (a sex- and emotion-fueled rollercoaster of an affair) Jen married Rollie Crane just prior to their inclusion on the Antares mission. Jen and Rollie's "honeymoon in space" derails when Rollie is removed from Antares in the eleventh hour, only to be replaced by Ted. A test of fidelity - and sanity - will be Jen's burden aboard the ship as she ponders the true meaning of the phrase "alone in the universe."

Final Chapter[]
Following the cancellation of the series, James Parriott confirmed how Jen's story arc would have ended.
Jen — Was she mistakenly put on the mission? Why can’t she see the fractal objects? “No, she was correctly put on the mission. And she can’t see [the objects] because, if you look back at when she was in the isolation tanks, she has a fear of abandonment. Jen seems to always need a man, and she’s very needy that way because she was abandoned as a child. And what the fractal objects were doing was she was going to become extraordinarily lonely in season two, and the bunny was going to fuck up the ship and she was going to have to kill that bunny. That’s her thing she was going to have to overcome, that incredible loneliness.”
