Background[]
Edna married Ed, the couple acting as co-owners of their junkyard. Sometime later, Cliff Gordon would drop an infant Jay off at their doorstep, and she and Ed would embracingly accept him as their son.[1] When Jay was young, Edna would call him her "precious little gift."[2]

How to Build a Dragon (flashback)[]
Edna told Jay to come back to the junkyard after he was finished testing his gliders.
Snakebit[]
Edna visited Jay alongside her husband, embarrassing Jay in front of his friends. After their brief tour of the Destiny's Bounty, she and Ed returned to their home in the junkyard, only to be ambushed by Lloyd Garmadon and the Fangpyre tribe. Edna ran to her husband's side as the Fangpyre began biting various vehicles and machines around the junkyard—transforming them into Serpentine Vehicles—shortly before she and Ed were bitten as well.
When the ninja arrived at the junkyard, they found Ed and Edna stuffed in an old fridge, slowly transforming into snakes due to the Fangpyre venom in their bodies. The couple watched as Jay led the charge against the Fangpyre, with Edna using a frying pan to knock out a soldier sneaking up on Sensei Wu and Nya. Eventually, the ninja stole the Fangpyre Staff from General Fangtom, and Nya used the antivenom to make tea for Ed and Edna. After drinking the tea, Edna and her husband returned to normal.

The Last Voyage[]
When the ninja were preparing to leave on the Destiny's Bounty in search of the Island of Darkness, Edna and her husband were at the harbor. Edna advised Jay to eat his vegetables, demanding Ed to tell him the same thing, although Ed only told him to listen to his mother. Then as they sailed off, Edna asked if he packed enough underwear, much to Jay's dismay.

The Titanium Ninja[]
After Zane sacrificed himself to beat the Golden Master, Edna, her husband, and other citizens attended White Ninja's funeral.
A Team Divided[]
Edna hugged Jay when he returned to the junkyard on the second day of the Junkbot Battle Supreme. After explaining the event to him, Jay decided to join in, but was eventually humiliated when he lost to a young girl named Suzie. Edna expressed her understanding for how Jay felt but told him that he was meant to be better at being a ninja rather than an inventor. After she finished giving him advice, Jay's attention turned towards the TV, which was broadcasting "Ninjaaa....Now!!" and Edna helped Ed introduce the show to Jay, inspiring him to become a competitor.
The Corridor of Elders[]
Edna was among the crowd asked by Jay to aid the ninja in their the battle against Chen and his forces.
Shadow of Ronin (non-canon)[]
When the ninja, having lost their memories, came to Ed and Edna's Scrapyard to find Nya, Edna quickly hugged her son, reminding him she was his mom. However, Jay remarked he had not lost all of his memories. They were quickly interrupted by the attacking Fangpyre, and Ed helped them build the Mechanical Ninja to fend the snakes off.
Infamous[]
Edna was distraught while her husband was asked by the news of his view on the ninja's crimes.

Day of the Departed[]
Edna and her husband are saved by Ronin.
Edna and her family were spending the holiday together before they come under attack by the Skulkin, commanded by a resurrected Samukai. Samukai threatens Edna while Jay takes out the two Skulkin mechs used by Krazi and Frakjaw. As Ed goes to help Edna, they watch as Samukai begins fighting Jay, before Krazi and Frakjaw apprehend them. Horrified, she watches as Samukai manages to overwhelm Jay, beating him in the fight and preparing to kill him so that he can be fully resurrected. However, Ronin appeared and used a mech suit and rescued the couple, briefly giving his reasons for being present while allowing Jay to take on his enemy. After the Skulkin were defeated, Edna fixed Jay his favorite snack as Ronin was rewarded with a bag of scrap metal while being told by Ed that all he needed to do was ask for some.
