ATTENTION:
I may not know what the "official" answers would be (if any),
so I'll give my MY best interpretations for additional questions that pop-up.
Remember that these a MERELY my interpretations.
I added these to the site's FAQs.
So Jenny Everywhere is basically open license... but what about other people's stories and designs?
Each Jenny Everywhere story should be respected as a copyright of the people that came up with it. However, if you have an idea that could be BASED off of one of these stories, or one of these stories could serve as a back story (Like "Soulless Mate" is loosely based off of "My Bloody Valentine"), should be OK. However you should still try and contact the original authors about your idea, particularly if it is heavily or largely based off of their story. Otherwise I do believe it is fine.
The reasoning that her scarf and goggles came from her Mother (who is only known as "a famous pilot who disappeared"). In a couple stories, We have also found out that her favorite food is toast. Which I believed was first mentioned in The Late Shift.
Remember that there are an infinite number of Jenny Everywhere's so there is a infinite amount of possibilities of stories. They all do not need to link up into a timeline or anything. Though some can and do. But you can also make something that contradicts another Jenny story if you'd like as well. Infinite possibilities!
What about other people's character designs?
Well, this is something where it might get a little confusing, but there are a few core elements in being a Jenny Everywhere. Again:
"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."
Jenny has also been frequently seen wearing a long fall/winter coat. Her personality has tended to be a bit rebellious, or "for the people" (remember she is a super hero). She may also be a bit naive (she does not always know the worlds she shifts to), but very creative and "worldly".
Technically... any of these can be messed with. In The Death of Jenny Everywhere there was a sighting of a Cat Jenny Everywhere, a African Jenny Everywhere, and a pre-op Johnny Everywhere. And in The Nipped Nap, the first fill story of Jenny as a humanoid, anthropomorphic animal, had her as a Fox.
The trick is to not go "too far" because then people may have a harder time identifying Jenny. Basically if you change some things, make sure you keep other things... for recognition purposes. If you choose to make a Jenny with a different ethnic background, keep the goggles and scarf. Some people have even just kept the goggles and her ethnicity. In Infinity Apartment, Jenny ends up having just glasses by the end. There are many possibilities.
Oh, and as far as "borrowing" other people's designs: It should be OK for the most part for adaptations, since so many are fully or partially or similarly based off of other Jenny designs already. But I would recommend against a FULL copy/mock of one's design unless you get their permission. But I doubt this would be an issue anyway.
