Dear friends,

'Jenny is like her mother', does it refer to jenny's 'appreance' or 'personality' that is like her mother?

Thank you!

It's probably her personality, though more context would make this clear. If it's her appearance, we say that she looks like her mother.

For both personality and appearance, we can say that she takes after her mother.
