 Jenny's attitude to causing temporal paradoxes varied; [[#Friendly paradoxes|at least one version]] was reckless enough to cause some for the sake of a bet on a pint of beer, or generally just as a favour to friends, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Narcissist? (comic story)|Narcissist?]]'') while [[#Max Murdock's friend|another]] became increasingly strict about temporal paradoxes as she grew older, refusing access to future information to her own younger self when the younger version tried to reach out into her future.

 Some Jennies also had a violent side to them; [[#In Right-On By The Sea|the Jenny from Right-On By The Sea]] admitted to finding fights "fun" even though she granted they were a suboptimal way to solve problems, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Name's Not Down (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]'') and [[#With Nigel|another Jenny]] was shown to have no qualms about killing sentient opponents if she held them to be morally bankrupt.

+In many universes, Jenny had a documented liking for [[toast]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'') Jenny had strong opinions about toast; different incarnations favoured different kinds of bread, making it a common topic of conversation during multi-Shifter events. Most also considered it a personal offensive to use inappropriate condiments (such as mustard) in their presence. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') Dropping by the retail store [[Suppa$hoppa]] in [[Universe (Paper or Plastic)|one universe]] to buy a shopping cart's worth of sliced bread, [[#Dropping by Suppa$shoppa|one Jenny]] then bumped into employee [[Jeff O'Donnell]] and had what he would subsequently describe as “the most intense debate ''ever''… about ''bread''” with him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Paper or Plastic Bonus Strip (comic story)|Paper or Plastic Bonus Strip]]'')
 Jenny enjoyed the atmosphere of winter cheer and would sometimes hang around a snowy Victorian city for extended periods of time around the Christmas period to soak in the “''[[A Christmas Carol|Christmas Carol]]'' mood”.

 Later, while reading the mind of [[#Assisting the Nommo|a different Jenny]], an alien ambassador known as [[the Nommo]] caught a glimpse of this incarnation. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Say The Word (comic story)|Say The Word]]'')
 ===In Right-On By The Sea===

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Name's Not Down (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]'')]]One version of Jenny inhabited the picturesque seaside British town of [[Right-On By The Sea]], where she usually hung out in the streets with her inseparable group of friends [[Clea]], [[Lex]] and [[Bradley]]. This Jenny was a fun-loving troublemaker (indeed, the town's ''only'' troublemaker) as well as a pop-music enthusiast. She and her friends once forced their way into an exclusive soirée at [[Club Twart]] by simply beating up the close-minded [[Bouncer (Name's Not Down)|Bouncer]] after the Club's promoter, [[Nathan (Name's Not Down)|Nathan]], walked back on his promise to Jenny to give them free entrance.

 ==== Light reading ====
 On one occasion, Jenny read through a web story which starred [[#Visiting the Heroines Guild|another one of her selves]]. Kim walked by just as she was finishing it, and they exchanged a few words about it. Kim was amused, upon her summary of the tale (where Jenny ended up riding off with a partially-undressed girl tied to her saddle), to hear that it was “one of those stories”, needling Jenny about her pronounced longing to have a little of that kind of fun of late, and the two shared some surreal banter on the subject of whether some pretty boys would be allowed as pets by the terms of their apartment lease — referencing a recent update to those terms from the apartment company's lawyers, pursuant to an incident involving a [[spherical cow]] for which Jenny still insisted she wasn't to blame.

+[[File:Jenny Everywhere in Paper or Plastic Bonus Strip.png|thumb|left|Jenny shopping for bread at [[Suppa$hoppa]].

She was a thin, tan-skinned Asian woman with short black hair, wearing a dark gray coat, a white scarf with red ends, dark blue pants, brown shoes, and goggles with a white strap and light blue lenses. During this shopping trip, she bumped into employee [[Jeff O'Donnell]] and had a very intense conversation with him about bread.
