Dark Horse Jenny designed with a combat focus to pair with a support Minh, although she does tend towards a generalist with 0-level cards anyway.

She's designed to take advantage of Minh Thi Phan's ability combined with Dark Horse and Hard Knocks to take advantage of the over-win conditions of .41 Derringer, Switchblade, Quick Thinking, and Double or Nothing, with Daring Maneuver as support for this goal (although that doesn't help much with Double or Nothing). Fire Axe is also here to combo with Dark Horse for more boosting and also so you don't need to over-succeed (and maybe there should be two of those and one Dark Horse?). Kukri is also a consideration if you want to save that out of faction slot (maybe having Jenny hit the gym for some Physical Training), since you can take advantage of the extra actions from Leo De Luca (and maybe Quick Thinking).

"Let me handle this!" is also to help cover Minh (which also conveniently costs 0 so can be used with Dark Horse), who in turn should help you set up with No Stone Unturned.

Furthermore, Jenny is designed to operate on very few resources once Dark Horse is out, with most continual use cards costing 2 or fewer resources. Leo De Luca and a weapon (either Fire Axe or Hard Knocks should ideally be up before we should expect to stay in Dark Horse mode.

The major exception to this plan is Backstab, which is there to provide additional damage should the need arise. The other card competing for this slot is Sneak Attack, but that has the unfortunate precondition of having to exhaust the enemy, so that means that Jenny would need to evade it first, which isn't so terrible but since she would also need resources to play the card, that means that Dark Horse can't be active either. Kind of a sticky situation there. Upgraded Sneak Attack is much more forgiving in this regard, especially since Minh seems likely to soak some damage at least (hopefully she's wearing her Leather Coat!).

With her extra actions from Leo De Luca, if they're not used to down enemies since she can't do that quite so effectively as a Guardian can, she can use to investigate pretty effectively with a Flashlight, especially with Dark Horse active.

Fine Clothes are pretty situational as well, but I do like both the theming (of course Jenny has some Fine Clothes, she's is The Dilettante after all) but also having a little extra damage and sanity soak can't hurt, either.

The last thing I have to mention about this deck is that I'm not quite sure if the balance should be 2 Dark Horse and 1 Fire Axe or the other way around.
