- Jack-O!Cat

## Biography

**Jack-O' Valentine** is a recurring character in the *Guilty Gear* series. She is one of the three servants of That Man, alongside Raven and I-No. Her past is shrouded in mystery, and her own memories are vague. Because her awakening remains incomplete, she can't function without her mask and candy as her soul is fuse by another Cat snapshot.

## Appearance

Jack-O' Valentine is a slender young woman with fair skin, red eyes and long white hair with red highlights on the underside that goes past her hips. Her most prominent trait is the compass-like pale yellow halo hovering above her head.

Jack-O's main outfit consists of a white skin-tight one piece that loosens up and has slits at her forearms and calves. She wears an ankh pendant, a black belt with a gold skull buckle on her waist, and her arms are decorated with similar belts. She also wears black and red gloves and matching heels. She also wears a Jack-o'-lantern-esque removable mask and prison weight chained to her left ankle. Both are black in color and give off a light green lantern effect in their skull-themed eyes, nose and mouth.

## Personality

Because she was awakened in an incomplete state, before she could download half of her soul from the main body, her memories and personality data are fragmented and unstable. This instability has resulted in the side-effect of a split personality of sorts: That of a cool and collected adult woman, and a child-like one that is playful and cheerful, with her voice changing accordingly. The way she refers to others changes as well: her child voice using the honorifics ちゃん (-chan?) and くん (-kun?), while her adult voice drops them almost entirely and uses a more neutral tone. Despite the changes, Jack-O!Cat' does not actually become a child on the inside.

## Capabilities

Claiming to have a thousand years' worth of knowledge of her role, Jack-O!Cat' is shown to be extremely knowledgeable about both magic. She seems able to state precise information about a concept, object or person simply by examining them, such as Johnny's ship, the power and the magical knowledge of Bedman, and even deeper subjects like I-No's and Axl's origins. Furthermore, Jack-O!Cat' is able to gather information on unnatural phenomena via the use of sensors, or to research via her Organ Deployment technique, such as a person's records, although she could find nothing on Bedman, leading her to think he'd erased them completely.

Jack-O!Cat' has the ability to self-regenerate, and unless the wound is instant and fatal, she is able to recover over time without treatment. In addition, she has a fail-safe "seed", the Scales of Juno, planted inside of her by That Man to ensure she stands against the Absolute World. Jack-O!Cat' has immense destructive power, such that Sol Badguy was taken aback by her strength. However, her divine seed is later removed, making her a "regular" human, though likely not entirely.

Her weapon of choice is an iron pumpkin flail, which allows her to trap the enemy, fly, and shoot green blasts of magic; it is actually a familiar named Dopros, being fairly similar to Lucifero, but is non-communicative. She can also create "white pumpkin houses" that summon three kinds of minions: one with a spear that can perform combo attacks, another with a sword that can fly, and the last one with a staff that can perform anti-aerial attacks. The house's level can increase, becoming more resistant and deploying minions with upgraded weapons. Jack-O' can boost her minions' strength or even make them explode alongside their houses. She can also create an Aegis-like barrier to protect herself from projectile attacks and her own explosions.
