Basically the title, and any ideas. You could suggest elf or human ancestry, backstory ideas, traits... Anything.
Edit: I ended up working on the character a bit, so not exactly anything anymore. They're the androgynous (and doesn't elaborate whether they're female or male) child of a high elf and a Shou human, with a warm skin tone, violet eyes (magic influence), and long black hair typically braided and decorated with purple ribbons. They wear a purple and red typical jester outfit completed with a striped hat that ends in two points.
I strongly recommend the Friends cantrip. Jester's job was to alternately entertain and annoy. A basic ploy would be to trick a person coming into a court and then expose them as an idiot. That is the Friends spell but on purpose. You get the adv on charisma checks and them being angry with you afterward.
As for background ideas, both backgrounds in Wild Beyond the Witchlight (Feylost, Witchlight Hand) work well.
(Reply to Elfdope) So I guess I'm not making them here, because I don't have the money for buying the books. Paper and online information it is.
You can homebrew any official material as long as you do not try to publish it. Unpublished items remain in your personal collection for use. That is if you are at all interested in using DDB for this character.

It wouldn't let me choose spells for some reason. I went back and made sure it said bard, but still no spells. How can you bard without spells?

I am sorry for the delay. I didn't get the notification for this question. Can you elaborate?
Were you having trouble adding spells to your bard character?
Were you having trouble creating a bard spell in homebrew?
Were you having trouble assigning that homebrew bard spell to your bard character?
It didn't even give me the option to choose spells. It was ordered as if I was making a fighter or something.

Maybe Multiclass into Drunken Master? What type of Jester?
Studded Leather: He does exactly what I do
Natural Armor: But better
