Does your character have a type? What is it? (Romantic, platonic, and sexual relationships are all valid for your answer)
[meta] PLATONIC Jenny is used to friendships being kind of transactional and backstabby, something she engaged with as well back in the city. Among the (children of the) powerful and the rich, there was always an aspect of hoping to 'gain' something from connections. I think that desire has kind of dwindled since coming to town, but it's definitely still somewhat present. On a more real, sincere level, Jenny looks in friends for people who will support her (even when wrong) and share her sense of whimsy. She likes the artistically inclined, especially when it comes to poetry/literature, but can find other topics of conversation if that's not an issue. She likes people who have a sense of whimsy and spontaneity with them. It doesn't need to be silly all the time, but there needs to be room for silly. If it's only seriousness, she will wither and get annoyed. And feel stupid. So that doesn't tend to work well. Truth be told, Jenny wants to be liked by everyone, but that sometimes tends to mean she becomes defensive (if not offensive) if she feels someone does not. She's shown this uglier side before. But, combine that with her general outgoing nature and I do think Jenny can make surface level friends easy with a lot of different people... she just isn't always good at being a bad weather friend. ROMANTIC A bit similar to the above, especially if we think about the dating kind of romance. Jenny also does tend to go for looks at times, and can be shallow. In a romantic partner, she looks for someone who respects and sees her whole. Someone who can make her feel grounded but who also just has fun with her. Someone who doesn't feed her insecurities (of her being shallow, or stupid). Someone who challenges her. She has had a string of exes that have met and not met these criteria. I do think she tends to go for people who make her feel good on a shallow level and who don't get her. I think that's also part of the space she was in before, where so much was about that power and money struggle versus the more sincere relationships that can apparently exist here. She's a bit of a romantic mess. SEXUAL
