QuoteFrom the Jenny Everywhere FAQ:

Who is Jenny Everywhere?
Though the character of Jenny Everywhere is vague enough to allow for many different interpretations, there are a few things that define who she is. Do all these signifiers need to be represented? Absolutely not. But the fewer that you use, the less likely that your character will be recognized as Jenny Everywhere.

She has short, dark hair. She usually wears aviation goggles on top of her head and a scarf around her neck. Otherwise, she dresses in comfortable clothes. She is average size and has a good body image. She has loads of confidence and charisma. She appears to be Asian or Native American. She has a ready smile.

Does Jenny have any powers?
Jenny Everywhere exists in all dimensions at once. She has the accumulated wisdom of all her other selves, and she can potentially shape or change dimensional properties. Her powers basically allow her to have wildly diverging storylines without having to worry about continuity. Her powers aren't the reason for the story, they're the means to get to the story. Since she exists everywhere at the same time, you should have no trouble throwing her into any situation you choose, be it riding dinosaurs in the Wild West or arm wrestling Richard Nixon on the moon. For the Shifter, any adventure is possible.

Some people may want to explore her powers further. Keep in mind that your story does not have to showcase any overt uses of her powers at all. In fact, though her powers may be put to use in a fair number of ways, the concept behind Jenny is that she prefers to get out of dangerous situations without the use of these powers. She thrives on the thrill and always plays fair, even if it brings her close to death.

Keep in mind that this click and lock is not for a kind of generic dimension shifter... this is for Jenny Everywhere.  One specific shifter who exists in many, many dimensions simultaneously and can draw on them.  By attaching various right-side click and locks to this, you can create a few of the many Jenny Everywheres that are out there.

I encourage anyone who uses a Jenny Everywhere in their games to post her experiences in this thread so that other people who use a different Jenny Everywhere can make reference to them in their own games.

Here's my own impression of what Jenny Everywhere might look like:
