Jackie Character in When the Curtain has fallen | World Anvil

Jackie

The Reasonable Monster

The Lord of the Puppets loved to experiment with his Dolls.
In his search of the Doll that has as little human parts as possible, he decided to create ones comprising of mutated or non-human parts.
One of the early alive and not crazy results was Jackie.  

Appearance

From afar, and when she wears baggy clothes or dresses, Jackie looks almost completely human.
When getting close to her, one can see the bumps where her clothes hide her two additional, clawed arms.
Her spine is longer than that of the human, creating the bony, prehensile tail, ended with a sting.
Most of her body is covered with a scale-like skin that's both resistant to cuts and elastic enough to absorb punches.
  Looking at her heart-shaped face, one can see long, thin holes that start on her lips and end on her jawbones. Thanks to those holes, and because her lower jaw is divided into two parts, she can open her mouth just like a snake.
Additionally, her lips conceal a very scary weapon that is her long, sharp tongue.  

Apparel, Equipment and Weaponry

Whenever she can, Jackie wears long dresses with flowery designs and straw hats.
Sadly for her, more often she needs to wear clothes that conceal her monstrous features.
She still possesses ribbon from the time she was human.   When fighting, she uses her whole body as a weapon and the shield.
She will use her additional limbs and her tongue to disable as many opponents as possible, letting the rest of the squad finish them off.
Whenever she finds one, she will also use firearms.  

Abilities

Crystallization: Whenever Jackie is hurt, in the surrounding area of her wound, her body starts to leak an unidentified substance that hardens under contact, diffusing the impact of any further attack. Because of that, any attack after the first is almost completely ineffective in the said area.   Anormal anatomy: Just as her exterior was warped by the Lord of the Puppets, Jackie's insides are as messed up. Because of that, any attack directed at her organs has a very big chance of missing or hitting the completely different organ, just because it could be placed in different locations of her body.   Inhuman strength: Despite her small stature, Jackie is able to lift the twentyfold of her weight with each of her limbs.   Divisible attention: Jackie is able to divide her attention to the point where she can control all of her arms, tail, and tongue completely independently from each other and still be able to rationally assess her surroundings.  

Personality

Despite being one of the monstrous Dolls, most of Jackie's personality is still intact.
She is a cheerful, optimistic, curious and smart girl.
Because of those traits, the rest of the Dead Squad treats her as a leader, a shining star that guides them.
  Jackie loves to talk with new people, however, her monstrous features stop her from this little entertainment.
When someone calls her a monster, she still shows her smile to them, even when it hurts her every time.

— Bianca about Jackie
I don't know if we would be able to survive so long without her. The food and shelter she finds, the dangers she warns us about, without that something would already kill us. Or worse, we would be found by him.

Mannerisms

  • Whenever she finds something curious, she will touch it with all of her hands at once and fixate on the thing for a short while.
  • When she gets hungry and sees something she could eat, she starts to salivate uncontrollably.
  • Even when she could use her hands, when she needs to pull herself up on the ledge, she will use her tail.
 

Speech

When she talks, she often laughs.
Is someone she meets has a phrase they say very often, she will start to parrot them.
If too excited by something new, she will talk in broken sentences.  

A memory

Jackie has one memory from when she was still human.
Strawberry cake with candles and her name written on it.
A smile of someone that cared for her, when she blew the candles.
Opening the present - her ribbon.
