## **Early Life**

Jackie was born in 2002 to Janus and an unnamed mother. Not much is known about Jackie's past before his/her time at Legion Rome, and he/she/they doesn't seem to like talking about it, which may be a hint at Jackie suffering from trauma.

### **Pre-Legion Rome**

He/she/they was often attacked by monsters and it scared her/him. He/she hears his/her mother's voice when Kawauso speak, which might be suggesting his/her mother is no-longer with him/her.

### **Joining Legion Rome**

[These Events are covered in the books]

Jackie was roughly 10 years old when he chose to follow Lupa to Legion Rome, instead of staying back and getting him memory erased. He was admitted to Peter and Pietro's Cohort IX and was later switched to Centurion Zari's Cohort VIII. She was expelled from Legion Rome from switching teams during training games and practices.

## **Appearance**

Jackie has dark olive skin speckled with freckles. He/She/they has wavy black hair dyed lime green at the tips. He/She/they has full heterochromic eyes, his/her/their right one being green, the left one being amber. Though later Jackie's eyes are described as 'Greenish brown'. He was male the first time Liz sees him and is seen wearing

'....black jeans, white t-shirt, grey long sleeve shirt under t-shirt, and green converse with a green hoodie tied around his waist'

Jackie isn't seen (other than calling Liz) in the rest of the first book, but, he/she/they is seen again in the second book, this time with longer hair and wearing

'...a blue and black plaid t-shirt, chunky black boots and thick tan jacket.'

Jackie is truly neutral throughout the books, helping whoever asks within reason.

## **Personality**

Jackie is first seen as adventures, loud, aggressive and has a tendency to lie to acquaintances. He/She/they seems to have no problem misleading others, but that is later revealed to be false.

In the Second novel, Jackie is revealed to be surprisingly logical and smart.

## **Misc Trivia**

* Jackie's last name, Hyde comes from the novella '*Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde'* and is an example of personalities in one person
* Jackie being gender-fluid comes from Janus his/her father, being the god of dualities

* When Jackie is female, she has visibly more freckles than when he's male.
* The status of Jackie's mother is unknown, though it is more likely that she is no longer alive.
* Jackie states that 'I either followed Lupa, or I drank from the River Lethe' which is strange, because Jackie is a Roman Demigod and the River Lethe is a Greek Concept. So it may be possible that His/her mother had/has some relation to Greek deities.
* Jackie feels not only male and female, but also non-binary and bigender at times. 'I dunno! Sometimes I'm a guy, sometimes I'm a girl, sometimes I'm both, sometimes I'm neither...'
* Jackie has a step-father so Jackie's mother changed her and Jackie's surname from Trevisani to Hyde.
