### Pre-Story

Jackie was born Jack Middleton sometime around 2033, around Norton or Wellfleet on Mars. At eighteen, they started their first year of college majoring in chemistry, and was assigned Nick Althorne as their roommate. Since then, the two had been best friends. They are Black, have no hair, and they wear glasses. They have a collection of earrings and have them as a source of narrative symbolism. They also go by they/them pronouns, and was romantically involved at some point with a woman called Annabeth.

With Nick after graduation, the two of them were assigned the case of Morgan Hensley and Riley Jameson, and were given a sample of semifluid matter. They worked on this case for three years until it was solved.

### Convergence

Jackie makes their first debut in *Convergence* as a deuteragonist, when they are seen working with Nick on the semifluid matter. Ella walks into the office, and between chapters, Jackie is introduced to her and they become fast friends.

Jackie is a comforting person in Nick's life, and although they don't appear much in the chapters before the ending, they're a prominent member of the storyline. They fight against the warlock without superpowers, instead using a plasma gun which doesn't do much damage. Morgan later tosses this out of their hands.

At the end of *Convergence*, Jackie is Ella's secondary adopted parent, and calls themselves her "gender-neutral wine aunt".

Their appearance in this book is a lab coat, khakis, boots, and dice earrings.

### Convergence II: Ella's Mystery

Jackie does show up in this book less, but just as in *Convergence*, they are still incredibly prominent. Jackie calls Ella "Cindy" or "Cinderella" as a reference to the fairytale and movie(s) of the same name.

Their appearance in this book fluctuates, but they are mostly seen looking quite stylish and with random earrings.

### Convergence III: Fulfillment in Becoming

In this book, Jackie is now just about Nick's age, and coming into their own as a main character and a central part of the story. Their earrings fluctuate throughout the story, changing for symbolism of the current scene.

Jackie hangs out with Ella, Ozzy and Nick on the very first chapter, and later in the book, once Nick receives their powers, Jackie accidentally receives telekinesis. They do their best to control it throughout the book, but still has work to do towards the end. They go later with Nick to the convenience store, where they wear ketchup earrings.

When Nick starts to disappear, Jackie takes a more mature role in the issue, telling Ella to go hang out with Serena regardless, telling her that Nick wanted her to. Between the time when she leaves and comes back, Jackie finds Nick possessed by semifluid matter and takes a stand with Ella to fight against it. Using their powers, they ascend up an elevator shaft (with some difficulties), and make it to their office. There, Jackie and Ella take on the daunting task of deciphering Nick's instructions for a vaccine that would theoretically remove the corrupted magic from their body. Jackie's earrings come into play here, where they swap their Rubix's Cube earrings for a pair of sneaker earrings. The vaccine works, and they assist Nick in faking their death to move to the multiverse void and take their role as protector of the universe. Jackie is officially dubbed a demipro.

### Trivia

* Jackie is British. Their surname comes from the popular Minecraft YouTuber DanTDM.
* Jackie's references to early 21st century pop culture insinuate that they were a history buff before choosing to go into the field of science.
* Unlike Nick and Ella, Jackie's birthday is unknown and never outwardly stated. I just know that it's not in between September and February.
