Cannon Or Original?: Original
Character Name: Jacques Margret Vegas
Aliases: Jackie, Jack, and Jake are a few of the more common names she hears, but most prefer to call her simply by her first name.
Special Abilities: Oddly enough, Jacques does seem to have psychic potential though it is undeveloped and rather spastic. She has minor bursts of pyrokenetic fire (a real problem during shows) but only when she’s feeling threatened or terribly stressed. There are also time when she can hear other people’s thoughts but she writes it off as her imagination getting away with her. As well, she has precog abilities that are channeled through tarot cards. If she does a tarot reading, rest assured, she is really telling your future.
Profession: Full time circus performer ~
Skills: Jacques has a talent when it comes to animals and is always content around them as they are with her. She’s also a wonderful singer like Epona and tends to sing when she’s alone or feeling scared. As well, she can usually see the good in anything; no matter how bad it might seem at the moment.
Weaknesses: For starters, Jacques is terribly uncoordinated. This can leading to tripping and has greatly affected what little hand-eye coordination she ever had which then leads to a habit of greatly doubting herself at every turn. Like her other sisters, Jacques is overly obedient to her older siblings and nearly everyone else. In other words, she’s a bit of a doormat to people. Mixed with a lack of physical and mental strength, she isn’t exactly a powerhouse.
Special Note: Jacques is part of the Vegas Sister’s Circus and the only kind hearted one in the bunch. As well, she plans on staying behind when her sisters leave and possibly making her way back home and, she suffers from the beginning stages of PDD which causes forgetfulness.
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Description: Jacques is rather misfit-ish child among her sisters of dark hair and eyes. Her hair is long and dirty blonde with a small braid one either side just before her ears. She about average height for her age and underweight as she hasn’t had anything other than fruits and vegetables since she was three years old, but her arms and legs have a good amount of strength in them to make up for her small stature. Her skin is, however, lightly tinted purple like her sisters and her eyes teeter on the edge of being light blue or soft lavender; it really all depends on the lighting.
Clothing Style/Uniform: When one looks at Jacques’ particular style, they see more the gypsy appearance rather than a modern day little girl. Both the braid in her hair are lightly beaded and feathered and a head band of light blue and gold tied around her forehead to prevent her bangs from falling into her eyes. Her general color choice is blue, be they dark, pastels, or aquatic so chances of seeing her in any color other than blue is somewhat rare. Jacques wears a white sash around her left shoulder that doubles as a bag and keeps her juggling balls and other stage items in it and on colder days she wears an old brown jacket covered in patches from age. Her clothes consist, normally, of a blue, silver embroidered skirt with dark leggings underneath and a matching tank top over a thin, sequined performance top with belled sleeves. Shoes are normally sandals of ballet slippers.
Family: Mother: Jean L. Marlene - Accomplished seamstress in her little hometown and currently living at home with her husband.
Father: Harold C. Vegas - Dead beat father who went missing a few years ago and is only known to be alive through letters and phone calls received at random when he sees fit.
Siblings: Renola - Reno is the eldest sister in the troop and Jacque’s ringmaster/trainer/instigator/ everything else.
Epona - Her other older sister who rides the horses in the show. She steers clear of her since they don’t exactly get along.
Atlanta - Another of her older siblings, she walks the tight rope (or at least tries) in their troop. Another sister she stays away from but more for her own safety…
Personality: There is a very lighthearted attitude that comes with Jacques since she tries her best not to take after her sisters. She’s sweet and quiet, but in more the manner that comes from fear of being snapped at ,or worse. It has become natural for her to think before she speaks which can be both good and bad because it makes her stutter and sometimes go quiet completely, but when she has a moment of courage, she can be a real ball of fire. She’s always nervous when it comes to her act or the circus in general so expect a good amount of babbling if the subject comes up, but Jacques is a pretty happy girl for what her life is. She’s willing to smile when she can and laugh when it’s needed and tries her best to remain optimistic about anything she can. Jacques is a brave hearted young girl with a lot of talent, but because she has been put down some many times, she afraid to show them and sticks to what she’s told to do.
Quirks: She tends to sing, whistle, or hum when she’s scared or nervous, is rather spontaneous when no one is around to stop her, can’t juggle for the life of her, and has one of the oddest names around. What more is there to say? ~
Likes: Peaches and oranges, animals of all kinds, new people, kids her own age, long walks, beaches, singing, and dancing.
Dislikes: Being yelled at, knowing when things are going to go wrong, people who laugh at her, her sisters, her father, juggling in general, and the majority of vegetables.
History: It was by simple chance that Jacques was born a little while after her father told her mother that he didn’t want anymore children. She didn’t have a choice, it wasn’t her fault. When her mother had become pregnant, however, that had been beyond comprehension for her older siblings. They saw her as an intruder and the reason for all their troubles. Their father left, money got tight, and their plans were put on hold. Even her mother seemed a bit sore about her coming into the world and named her the most ridiculous thing she could think of. For 3 years after she was born, Jacques was loved by only her mother and treated with scorn by her sisters at every turn. Then, when she was old enough, things got complicated. Reno would wait no longer and convinced her mother to let them leave, but of course, not without the precious baby of the family. She was loaded up and they were off; Jacques waving goodbye to her little hometown until she could no longer see its little houses or smiling residence. As she grew, Jacques began to realize just how unwanted she was.
She worked hard to please her sisters in any way she could. Jacques took up juggling, took care of the animals, ran errand after errand, but still gained no place in her siblings’ hearts. No matter what she did, she was merely and interloper who was merely tolerated, never valued. For months, she’s been considering turning back and finding her way back home and has frequently run off for a while to get a bit of alone time, but has yet to actually do it out of fear. At this point, she is merely biding her time at Whispering Rock and trying to think of a way to get out of the circus life that has no place for her.
