Jeny Greenteeth is a green hag from Faerun (specifically the Quivering Forest region of the Moonsea). She was brought into Barovia along with the Quivering Woods as the Mists expanded Barovia by engulfing Faerunian lands. Although an entirely malicious creature like most of her kind, Jeny Greenteeth is an able liar and deceiver, quite comfortable of assuming a guise of a harmless little old lady. She is unusually cosmopolitan for a green hag in that she will sell her services as a spellcasting healer for hire. In fact, she may be the only one near Orașnou with both the ability and motivation to provide spellcasting services.[1]

Though she loathes humanity, Jeny Greenteeth cares about the Quivering Forest and the unseelie fey that live there, whom she is the leader of. To this end, she became concerned with freeing the Forest from the Mists and keeping the Forest from being further absorbed.

History

On Faerun, Jeny and the other fey of the Quivering Forest created an alliance with Cvaal Daoran, one of the city's rulers, to help with Phlan's defense in the case of invasion. In return for this promise, Phlan was to ensure intruders stayed out of the forest. Decades later, Talaric Daoran, son of Cvaal, violated the agreement. For this transgression, he was murdered by Jeny.[2]

Despite the above violation, the pact stood for several years more until it was violated for a second time, this by a group of woodsmen in pursuit of a fleeing Cult of the Dragon member. This second violation caused Jeny and her fey to step away from the pact. They avoiding getting involved when the Cult and Vorgansharax, a powerful green dragon, rampaged throughout Phlan and its environs.[2]

Over a hundred years after Talaric's murder, the Mists began engulfing areas close to Phlan, including the Quivering Forest, and delivering them to Barovia. Jeny saw her power boosted, but she became haunted by Talaric's ghost, animated by the Dark Powers.[2]
