Jacqueline Pemberton

## Background

### 1995 - 2018: Jacqueline Pemberton

Though raised as the daughter of Sylvester & Claudia Pemberton, Jacqueline is biologically the daughter of sometime villain Henry King Sr & his second wife Merry Pemberton (Sylvester's sister). When his criminal activities came to light, Merry went off to live with her brother while Henry's son from his first marriage, Henry Jr, stayed with his mother. While living with her brother, Merry soon discovered she was pregnant with Henry Sr.'s child, but wanted him to have nothing to do with the baby. After begging her brother, him & his wife decided they would take the child. Upon Merry giving birth, Sylvester & Claudia announced they welcomed a daughter.

Born & raised in the illustrious & well known Pemberton family, Jacqueline had a wide array of resources at her fingertips. Because of their vast amount of wealth, she was given the best tutors & enrolled in elite schools. While other children went to fun camps in the summer, Jacqueline spent her time travelling the world with her family & learning other worldly customs. When she was home, her father would take her & her brother to see his friend Ted Grant at Wildcat Gym to learn some movies. Her brother Arthur quickly found a love for combat, leading to him joining the military. Jack loved fighting as well, but decided to keep learning the skills while also focusing on her education. Though she could have easily skipped many grades over the years, she was adamant about staying in the same class as her peers. When Jacqueline graduated high school at seventeen, she was much more advanced that her colleagues. She then headed to Ivy University that fall.

While she formerly wanted to stay in the same grade as her peers, her feelings changed for college & Jacqueline quickly excelled in her classes. Though worried about making friends, she quickly became close to two other young geniuses: Lena Luthor & Velma Dinkley. All three women understood the burden of living up to their parents' expectations & status, leading to them forming a close friendship that consisted of studying & venting. In addition to those similarities, all women received their doctorates in engineering with Jacqueline & Velma also sharing a doctorate in chemistry & bachelor's in biology. In just five years, she managed to get two doctorates & bachelor's degree under her belt.
