She let her hair grow out because she didn't want to fuss with a short haircut and more frequent hair cuts. She stands about 5' 8'', which makes anyone who wants to ask her out uncomfortable because of her height. She sometimes will use this to settle arguments, but most of the time she doesn't care. She's slender, but powerful. Up close, her punches have caused much pain to those who bothered her too much. She usually wears a black hoodie and plain colored t-shirts, as well as jeans. Her has a duffel bag that she usually hangs over her shoulder unless she's at school, then she hangs a grey school bag over her shoulder. [url=http://www.zerochan.net/1051056]At twenty five,[/url] Jak cut her hair and let it hang loose and short. Sometimes if it bothers her she'll tie it up and go to work. She wears a black trenchcoat and jeans. She mainly wears graphic shirts, finding them somewhat amusing and cheap. She kept her slight frame, but looks even more well-toned than ten years ago. She moves with a more deliberate air. She grew to about 5' 9''. She always wears a watch and a hair tie on her left wrist. On her upper left arm is a tattoo of a stylized dragon.

She may not say much, but her words are always to cheer someone up. She's laid back and not much phases her, but when she's angry or focused on a task... It's not always apparent or obvious at first due to her quick change back and forth, but after a few times people close to her can tell. Jak is obsessed with Softball and practices whenever she has free time. If she set her mind to it, she could obtain great grades, however she doesn't want to because she's often busy. She can appear naive and just go with the flow, but she only has the best interests for people at heart. If her arm were to break, and she be disqualified for Softball, it is likely she's find no point to trying to go back. She figures herself to be the best at Softball, and hates to let people down who are counting on her. If she find people to be annoying or sad, she'll hit them lightly on the head then take them out for ice cream. She has an amazing amount of patience, and often will mediate in an argument if she feels like she has to. When she fights, she often doesn't really take anything seriously, treating it like a game. She doesn't panic easy, and doesn't cry or break down unless she's under a lot of stress. Jak's loyal to her friends, and pretty popular. She fights in close to prevent others from getting hurt, often trying to subdue the foe as much as possible, however, this leads to her getting more hurt. She dislikes stepping back to fight, but will fight from farther away if she thinks that she'll do better from a distance. If one were to see Jak at her worst, they'd believe that it was someone else completely. She shuts people out and keeps them at arm's length. Her motivation to do anything fades away and her smile that she always wears is gone. However, this in itself is a rare occurrence. She thinks it's her job to cheer others up, not to have them worry about her. So far, Jak's attitude has kept her from reaching a breaking point with people, often laughing off insults or being extra nice to that person. She often sneaks her bat into school whenever she can. [b]History: [/b] Jak was born and raised in Italy. From the age of five, she was trained to defend herself by her father, the owner of a small dojo. She learned that people needed an outlet and if they could no longer do that outlet then there was no point to life. Everyone relies on you in a team sport, and if she didn't meet their expectations, then she shouldn't do that activity at all. She understood, and from then on pushed herself further and harder, determined not to let anyone down. While she thought of karate as a family practice, she soon took to Softball. One day, while walking from from a good practice, she watched students from her school ambush others. She stepped in, severely injuring herself and protecting the other student. Jak determined that she had to protect people with all her strength, no matter the cost. Soon she became pretty popular and famous for solving disputes any way she could. She's pretty cool about it though, often just brushing it off. Jak one month ago seems very different from her current self. This is because one month ago Jak woke to her room being on fire and the door exit being blocked. The fire had spread very rapidly across the bedrooms, and thus caused her to be trapped. Shortly after the fire broke out her father and mother managed to leave the house safely. However, as soon as her father left he realized that Jak was not with them. He rushed back inside. Her father has passed on very recently, and she is still coping with his loss. He passed on due to a fire that was started with an unknown source as of right now. [hider=Extra Information on history] -Jak's father passed away about a month or so ago in a fire. -Jak's father is buried in the only cemetery in Trespiano -Jak and her mom are currently living in a fairly run down building with two floors -Jak's Mother is currently employed (if only barely) -Jak's Mother is a drunk (To be added to as the story continues) [/hider] [b] Overview: [/b] Jak is a fifteen year old girl obsessed with softball and trying to help everyone. She's always smiling and offering ice cream to people. She tries to fight in close, protecting as many people as she can. She was born and raised in Venice, and her father has passed away recently.
