Jacqueline Styles

is a character role-played by YupItsKJStyles

Appearance
Jackie has ginger hair is extremely proud of it. Her emerald green eyes were once her defining feature, before a car accident that caused her to have to have her left eye removed. Her pale skin covered in freckles and scars, she does her best to keep her self esteem up, and continues to try her best to forget the scars on her face that she covers with makeup. She is usually seen wearing an Orange Jacket her brother gave to her before he left to Los Santos, years before, and now she wears it as a reminder of him since he went missing the moment she arrived in the city.

Personality
Jackie use to have great patience, but as her life fell apart the past few years, her temper has gotten much shorter. She is very conscious of the scars that decorate her body and face, and is ashamed of the loss of her eye, so many arguments have been started with snide comments about said things. She is kind, and very polite when not having to deal with people mocking her voice, or threatening her family. It just so happens the city of Los Santos is cruel, so that side of her rarely gets a chance to shine.

Family
Jacqueline is the oldest of the Styles Siblings which consist of Janette Styles, Kenny Styles and herself. Her Father Ronald Styles, and her mother Susan Styles still reside in Aaronsville, Upstate Liberty.

Background
Jacqueline was born and raised in Aaronsville, Upstate Liberty, along with her little sister Janette, and her little brother Kenny. Their family was not the richest, and struggled to make ends meet. Jackie was the oldest of the Styles Siblings, and often got the new clothes and toys and such before her brother and sister, and typically would give them her old toys and clothes as new ones arrived, as rare as that was. Jackie and Janette both had horribly deep and raspy voices, most of which could be contributed to their mothers terrible smoking problem, but also from their moms already deep and raspy natural voice. Because of this, Jackie was horribly bullied in school, which in later years caused her to make sure her little sister did not have to deal with the same shit she had too, and would beat the shit out of the kids who teased her little sister.

As Jackie finished up school, her mother got fired from her job for smuggling cigarettes out of the factory she worked in, and Jacqueline had to help her dad make enough money to keep the family from becoming homeless. Jackie and Janette both got small little jobs to help keep things afloat, which greatly upset Jackie that her sister had to lose out on her childhood working, and not hanging with her friends like she had.

As the years passed, the Styles siblings began to notice their mother starting to forget things more and more often, and they had her go get tested for some things, where she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. The warning signs were there early on, with her excuse for the stealing of cigarettes always having been that she thought she was buying them, but they never believed her. It was going to be a hard time dealing with their mothers disease, and keeping the family strong and together, but Jackie and Janette were up to the challenge.

As Kenny's final year in high school finished up, he dropped a bombshell on the whole family. He had applied and got accepted to LSU, a college on the west coast that specialized in film, deep in the heart of Vinewood. It was no surprise to the family that Kenny was interested in going to film school, but they all just figured he would apply to a local college, and stay in the town he had grown up in. He was met with anger from their Dad and Jackie, claiming he was being selfish and bailing on their mother when she needed him the most, but he claimed that this town was a dead end, and that he was going to become a big film icon, and the money he made he would send back and make sure mom was taken care of. Jackie was having none of it, and saw it as a selfish move after all the effort and time she had given to the family. Heart broken that his family did not support him, Kenny avoided them to the day he left home for Los Santos.

During this time, Jackie had met a man named Bruce Kennedy Pillman, a kind man who would show up and order big meals, and leave huge tips at Jackie's place of work, especially if Jackie was his server. Bruce was a very well off man, and liked to show this wealth off to Jackie. He would often ask her to join him on her break, where he would listen and give advice about life, and how to deal with a mother with Alzheimer's. He would go on about his own father, and how he dealt with it years prior. The two grew close as the year went on, with Bruce often giving huge tips specifically for Jackie to help her with her ailing mother.

One Night Jackie had asked Janette to drive her to work so her little sister could use the car to drive herself and her friend around while Jackie did her shift, but on their way to work a drunk driver from the nearby bar smashed into their vehicle. Glass and metal tore through Jackie's face and pierced her left eye, while Janette's friend passed away from her injuries. Though she had lost her eye, and scarred up her face, Jackie did her best to make sure her sister didn't blame herself, comforting her, letting her know it wasn't her fault, but it really seemed not to matter, all Jackie could do was wrap her sister in her arms, and tell her she still loved her, and that her friend didn't blame her either. From that point on, Jackie never drank alcohol, for her sisters sake.

Though her face was messed up, Bruce did not seem to mind, and eventually Jackie and Bruce began to date, and surprisingly were engaged and married by the end of the year. With promises of undying love, and financial support for her mother and the medical expenses that come with her worsening disease, it was a no brainer for the ginger girl, but it would lead to the worst time in her life, and a turning point in her relationship with her little brother.

Bruce and Jackie proudly returned to the Styles Household and they both excitedly let the family know that Bruce would be taking care of all the medical bills, and that they would not have to worry about any of those things. Though as Bruce explained the details, he kept adding little insulting wordage as if he was talking down to lesser people. The passive insults were not lost on either Janette, or Jackie, but if it ment their mother was taken care of, it didn't matter to Jackie. It was soon after that that Janette left for Los Santos to go be with their brother, another sibling gone, and Jackie feeling even more isolated.

Without getting into detail, things went south fast in the marriage. The nice kind man, who Jackie could relate too disappeared, replaced by a man who would use his money and Jackies reliance on it for her mother, as leverage to slowly become a monster in her life. Almost instantly he would come home smelling of other girls, not even hiding the fact he was drunk, and covered in lipstick. Many other instances of cruelty could be laid out, but for the sake of everyone, lets just say he was a shitty abusive person. Insults, mockery, and constant cheating. When did the kind caring man become this monster, or was he always this way, using his charms, and money, to deceive? Jackie would never find out these answers, because he would not be alive much longer to help her find that out.

After an entire year of slowly becoming more reliant on this mans money, his constant disrespect of her as a person, and the escalating abuse were seen to Jackie as a price she paid to make sure her mother was taken care of, but a person can only take so much. On this final night he was on this earth, Bruce made one last bad decision, and that was to assume Jackie wouldn't get tired of his bullshit. Sitting in his study, laughing at something on the tv, his attention was quickly brought to a nose bleeding and bruised Jackie, their security baseball ball pulled full on back behind her, and the mans final words before his skull was continually smashed into pulp were "JACKIE WAIT!" This would be Jackies last night of being abused by this man, and the feeling of taking control back from him, and ending his life made her smile, her entire body covered in his blood.

Jackie was arrested for the murder of her husband, something she never denied. She was seemingly proud to let everyone know that she, in the end, was the one in control. Her family and friends distanced themselves from Jackie, a bit disturbed that she was capable of doing something like that, not understanding the things she had went through. Stuff like this didn't happen in Upstate Liberty, that was more of a Liberty City kinda thing.

Janette and Kenny returned from San Andreas to be with Jackie, who was going through the trail for the murder of her now ex husband. Jackie at first was not wanting to be around any of them, feeling as if they had betrayed her in some way, left her to deal with all the problems they refused to help take care of. But over time, as the trail went on, she gave in, and just needed them to help keep her sane. The Siblings caught up on all the things that had happened since they had split, and as Kenny was about to return to Los Santos, he wrapped Jackie in his orange jacket, a jacket Jackie herself had purchased him years ago, and said the last words Jackie would hear from her little brother. " This jacket you bought me always made me feel safe and strong when i was scared, its time it made you feel that way."

Jackie was eventually found not guilty, god knows how that happened, and was released back to her home. After about a half a year, Jackie could not stand living in the same house all this tragedy had happened, and she quickly found a buyer for it. She didn't care how much she got, she just wanted it to be done, and gone. She had received a email from Kenny asking her to come to Los Santos, and get away from it all, even if just for a little bit. Thinking it over, she went to discuss it with their mom, who gave her a hug, and said that Kenny had the right idea, and if she wanted to start a new life, it shouldn't be in this dead end town. With all the money she had gotten from the house, she left a big chunk of it with her mother, and with tears in her eyes and one last hug, she got on the plane to her future. Los Santos, the city of new beginnings.
