Giles/Jenny is the pairing of Rupert Giles and Jenny Calendar from the Buffyverse.
Canon
Giles and Jenny both teach at Sunnydale High School. The two are initially at odds, with Giles mistrustful of technology and the computer science teachers presence in his library. Jenny as a technopagan has an understanding of the dark arts that intrigues Giles, and she begins to help the Slayer and her Watcher in their fight against evil. As they grow closer, they develop an attraction and begin a relationship.
Jenny is revealed to be a member of Kalderdash gypsy family that cursed Angel with his soul. This causes a rift in their relationship and they break up. Jenny eventually finds the spell to restore Angel's soul, but before she can inform the others she is murdered by Angelus. Her body is placed in Giles' bedroom amidst candles and flower petals. Her death deeply impacts Giles.
