Talent: Cooking Unique magic: "False Serpent!" incantation: Keep him locked away! [The user can pull from moisture in the air or nearby water sources to create a stream of water shaped like a serpent - similar in appearance to the leviathan Uk’otoa (hence how he has that nickname) - which they can launch at their opponents for ramming or whip based attacks.] Trivia: His merfolk form resembles that of a lantern shark - making that form bioluminescent! … and also a lot smaller than his human form (4’9” - 6’0”). Which he is somewhat insecure about, but he won't admit that. Least the small size makes him very speedy, that's a plus! Though he does appreciate being bigger on land than in water, it allows him to be as strong as he always dreamed off as a merling. He is a very generous and boisterous boy, always looking out for others - and aiming to get stronger by any means necessary! ..which often gets him into trouble.  He has freckles all over his body, practically coating him, and not just on his face. ——— Character Summary: “I am a shark, the ground is my ocean, and most people can't even swim.”

He was the only child born to two (lantern shark) merfolk in the dark cold depths of the Coral sea - both of which work at a certain rather popular restaurant in the coral sea… and are indebted to the family who owns that restaurant due to them having struggled financially prior to being hired there. His family are good friends with that family because of it, often spending holidays together and having playdates with their kids or going to watch fireworks on the surface every year together.  Growing close with a certain octopus and eels… one of which he liked to roughhouse with but was also kinda scared of.

His parents always did everything they could to keep him safe - teaching him different shortcuts to avoid more dangerous predator animal merfolk, but also how to network and how to not get on those stronger peoples’ bad sides. Which had made him good at avoiding suspicions and blending in with crowds. He was always picked on for his small merform size, and wouldn’t really defend himself - usually running away or just being polite till they left him alone. But would always jump into a fight to defend someone else who was being bullied. Often ending with him badly hurt, never having won.. But it did gain him some friends and the idolization of some of his peers for his bravery on their behalf.

Due to not wanting people to suffer like he has, he aimed to get stronger every day in order to protect more people, but it escalated when he went on land for the first time,   seeing that his human form is much bigger than his merform, which excited him greatly! It allows him to be as strong and reliable as he always wanted to be! On land, people don't bully him for his small size and lack of strength. He became very fascinated with land life, wanting to explore and experience all it has to offer, something his family and friends don’t seem to understand nor encourage all that strongly.

Okay, so I actually gave a name to a more prominent member of the crew. You know the one who is always with Twigg? His name is Bomani. He's the Black man with the thinner dreadlocks who found Jack while he was still in the cell.

He made her one of the few toys she had, which was a wooden dog. He didn't buy it or trade for it, he carved it himself. Bomani is also patient, so he can handle a tiny child babbling to him and asking an infinite amount of questions.

Bomani taught Hector how to give her dreadlocks like Jack's because her hair is an absolute mess to deal with. She doesn't have white people hair(also she is a light skinned POC). He also taught her how to do it when she was old enough. She loves this man.

Pintel and Ragetti both adore their tiny niece. She is the first kid they've ever interacted with on a regular basis. Hector often just randomly hands her to one of them. First time Ragetti held newborn Jackie, he cried. Pintel likes to act tough, but he's often the one telling her stories abou

The bosun, strong and scary as he might be, is willing to be dragged around by her as she tries to show him random things. And he will fake being surprised and excited because that's his niece and she's like three.

One or two crew members don't like her, however these are a rarity. Most see her as their adorable niece whom if you touch even a hair on her head, you will die a miserable death. These one or two see her as a threat to being uncursed. The captain has said that if he had to choose between being uncursed and keeping Jackie, he'd pick Jackie. And no one else has any problem with it.

Family. Tragedy. Monsters and revenge

First thing I do after graduation? Draw a Dream Caster because I love them.

I edited the second picture for Pride Month, but just realized that I unintentionally made his natural hair color like the lipstick lesbian flag? Oops???
