Jax Blackburn

hell is a teenage girl

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Jax looks a wee bit ghoulish. She's 5'7 and quite stick-like, having narrow shoulders and a naturally thin figure. She has long legs and a shorter torso, making it quite annoying to find pants and shirts that actually fit her. She has a rosy complexion, complimented by her pale skin and dyed red hair. Her eyes are brown and almond-shaped, pairing well with her angular face and sharper jawline. Her nose is upturned with a small bump near the top; she hates her nose for this reason, despite the bump being fairly unnoticeable even from the side. Her lips are average-sized, though, her top lip is much smaller than the bottom one. She usually tends to look a bit disheveled though not unclean, with smudged eyeliner and messy hair being her usual go-to looks. She usually keeps her makeup minimal, though does sometimes throw on some eyeshadow and highlight if she has the time. She opts to wear contacts over her glasses, however, oftentimes wears neither because her vision isn't bad enough to make her care; she's usually only seen with her glasses when she drives.
Jax's wardrobe consists of a LOT of graphic tees, most of them falling apart at the seams from being either her dad's hand-me-downs or thrift finds she decided to rip up herself. She is a huge supporter of tiny top and large pant styles, opting to wear small black tops with sweatpants and cargo pants. When she feels like dressing up she tends to wear an assortment of long skirts, colorful flared pants, and lingerie she wears as tops. When she goes out she has a wide array of outfits- most of them borrowed from her sister. Unfortunately, Jax's style hardly prepares for Michigan winters- she only has one winter coat that's obnoxiously large, which she hates wearing as a result. Otherwise, she has a few ratty zip-ups and some of her girlfriend's old track sweatshirts.
She has quite a collection of piercings, with her medusa and ears being the most obvious. On her right ear, she has her doubles, conch, helix, cartilage, and tragus pierced, and on her left ear, she has her doubles, tragus, and industrial pierced. She decorates these with mostly silver rings and smaller silver hoops usually on her lobes. Her industrial piercing is still the default piercing bar because it's taking *forever* to heal. She has her belly button pierced as well, along with an invisible scar from the septum piercing she had for years prior to getting her medusa. She has two small tattoos, one on her ankle and another on the upper area of her ribs. The one on her ankle is a small letter-in-a-bottle stick and poke her sister gave her when she was 15. The other is a small red bat some guy with a tattoo gun (Slade) gave her in her sister's apartment. Both have actually held up pretty well.
## Relations

* Family
* Other

* Her dad is just her dad. He opted to stay at home once the twins were born, making Jax and her dad much closer than she and her mother. The two still aren't particularly close, but get along well and enjoy going snowboarding together.

* Jax and her mom have a complicated, tumultuous relationship. Petunia acted as the breadwinner for their family and thus was never around as Jax was growing up; so, they have a weird mother-daughter relationship that would've been weird anyways, but now is a lot worse. Petunia has mental illness problems because of her alcoholic father who died at 45... and surprise, generational trauma is working overtime in this family. Over time Petunia has tried to mend their relationship, but Jax is adamant about not forgiving her.

* Jax is most definitely closest to Jolene out of all her siblings. When Jolene came out as transgender, most of their Catholic family took it very poorly- except for Jax. Jax was there for her all throughout her transition and still hangs out with her frequently, spending nights at her apartment quite often. They've both bonded over their poor relationship with their mother and especially about their own alcoholism problems as a result. Jolene knows Jax best, knowing nearly all of her Deepest Darkest Secrets and living through all of her lore. They often fantasize about moving to California together once Jax graduates high school.

* Jax loves her younger brother but doesn't really know how to connect to him. She occasionally plays video games with him but Mason tends to think her favorite games are too girly and not fun because he is an 8th-grade boy and plays Fortnite religiously.

* Eliana and Jax are closer than her and Mason but have gotten less so as of late; Jax chalks this up to Eliana getting her first boyfriend and also being an 8th-grade girl going through puberty. While Jax tries to help Eliana through it, part of Jax resents her for having such easy problems. Because the two were born four years apart, they saw two completely different sides of their mother- Jax getting the worst of her, of course, and Eliana getting the best. She doesn't really know how to cope with this difference so she just kind of doesn't.

* Part of Jax really wants to relationship Neil, but she knows that they would make a horrible match and have a disaster relationship. Apart from that, she regards him as a really close friend who she enjoys the company of. She has no desire to irreversibly mess up their relationship, but maybe she will sometime when she's in one of her self-destructive moods.

* Jax doesn't know Kian beyond being Neil's brother, but she is fond of the kid. He occasionally will get her a handle when he goes to 7/11 and so he is her favorite Boyd sibling.

* Kyra insinuated that Jax and Neil were fucking ONE time and now Jax kind of hates her.

* Keagan and Jax used to be really close near the beginning of high school. Their parents were always friends and their older siblings were always relatively close, leading them to become best friends through their middle school and early high school years. Unfortunately, Keagan and Jax started talking to the same guy, who Jax really liked- but when he chose to ask Keagan to their freshman homecoming, shit hit the fan. The two got into an explosive fight at the dance and Jax swore to never speak to her again. She finds the whole fight stupid now but feels it would be weird to text her 'sorry' years later.

* While Jax tries not to be weird around Liam, given that he is Jolene's boyfriend, she can't help but be a little awkward after everything that happened with Keagan. She tries to avoid him if she can.

* Jax is SO GLAD Felicity is in Neil's band with her. She's not sure what she'd do without a normal person that she could talk to, and, bonus points, the two actually have become close friends! Jax, also, of course, has a silly little crush on her because she can't have normal friendships without putting them in jeopardy for fun.

* Jax likes Guppet a lot. She doesn't know what to make of the "relationship" between him and Neil but they are friends anyways and she's surprisingly normal about it. Yay! But she also has the teeniest and tiniest semblance of a crush on him because he is a guy who pays attention to her.

* Jax lumps all these people together because they're the people she never really talks to in the group. She wants to get to know these people better but not badly enough to reach out first.

* Jax was surprised to find how much she enjoys being around Alto- probably because she only ever tells her what she wants to hear, but... you know. She's glad they met and considers her a friend.
