## Gang

Jackie is one of the founders of Gator Shoez, a violent anarchist gang known for extreme shows of firepower. She started the gang alongside Ozzy, her adopted son.

In sharp contrast to their razing of buildings and lethal run-ins with the police, Gator Shoez also serves as a makeshift orphan agency for the numerous homeless, parentless children in the Gray Zone. Some suspect the kids are being used as meat shields to detract rival gangs and police from taking out the Gator Shoez headquarters. When really, Jackie just has a strong maternal instinct, and hates seeing kids suffer. Several of the gang's current members were raised by Jackie and the older Gator Shoez.

Jackie doesn't understand humans, unlike alligators, do not practice cannibalism. As a result, the Gator Shoez eat people.

## Physical Description

Jackie is a Mississippi alligator measuring just over 9 feet long from snout to tail. Her scaly hide is a mix of dark greens along her back and light tan on her underside. She has several scars across her body, the most noticeable being the light pink patch on her entire nose. She is rather heavyset, with a paunch belly, though under the fat is strong muscle. While her size is intimidating laying down, when she stands on her back legs she's barely more than 4 feet tall. She wears a bulletproof vest when on a job or attack. A black snap-back cap adorns her head.

## Relationships

* **Ozzy:** Jackie's adopted son, and co-founder of Gator Shoez. Things were great when he was a little kid. But, as he grew older and Jackie was more and more busy taking care of other kids, he grew distant and jealous. Their relationship fell apart after the Audit, when Ozzy started developing a dependency on morphine and she tried to get him to stop. She misses him dearly. But, after years of barely any successful contact, she's been trying to move on. She does still get him a birthday card every year. Always right on time.

* **Blaise:** A fellow lover of destruction, Blaise has earned a lot of Jackie's respect, even if he is a spineless coward in the face of a fight. They have a friendly rivalry going on, which has lead to an increase in destructive fires in the Gray Zone. It's not uncommon to see them sharing a bottle of whiskey at the bar. She gives him hell for not smoking, and makes it a point to have a cigar whenever they hang out. Sometimes she feels she should tell him about her family that lives in the underground Blaise uses for his gang's HQ. But most of the time she's too interested in waiting for the shit to hit the fan.

* **Clemmins:** Bitch.

* **Apollo & Bucket:** Jackie is a frequent customer of Bucket's, going to her Esperanza shop for nearly all her weapons repairs and ammo needs. Apollo always seems to be awkwardly hanging around whenever Jackie comes to shop. Jackie is proud of him for being such a good dad to Bucket. She thinks it's so sweet that Bucket tells her over and over again how she and Apollo are so close they're "literally brother and sister, estúpida."

* **Red Eye:** Kind-of-adopted son.

## Trivia

* She was spared any direct consequences during the Audit, as it was determined alligators are not registered citizens and thus do not owe taxes.
