WIP
The jackalope guide for the Es from the novel. Despite looking similar and having similar names, she is a distinct character from the jackalope seen in the MILGRAM Youtube series (Jack). She prefers Es to call her Jacka.
Appearance[]
A female jackalope who appears to be an ordinary rabbit with large lop ears, dark round eyes and a cute nose and mouth. However, she also has 'stag-like' antlers.
She speaks with a tense and dignified voice that could be mistaken for a human woman. In contrast, her movements are very rabbit-like, such as scratching behind her ear with her hind foot.
The novel describes her as having soft, white fur but the cover art shows her having a sliver and white fur pattern similar to that of a dutch rabbit. Much like Jack, Jacka wears a blue police cap with a golden MILGRAM logo on the front and a matching blue cape loosely held around her by a gold coloured sash on the front.
Unlike Jack, her dewlap may be slightly more prominent (as is common in female rabbits) but this is not entirely clear.
Personality[]
From the start, Jacka displays a manipulative personality, deliberately making the prisoners search for a non-existant exit to the prison to ensure they won't attempt a rebellion.
Similarly to Jack, Jacka dislikes when others insinuate she is a rabbit, finding it demeaning.
History[]
Most of Jacka's life prior to her job as a MILGRAM guide is unknown.
At one point she says that while MILGRAM is a place that really exists, it is an "error" for a being like her to speak human language. No further explanation for the existance of jackalopes is given but it seems they are in some way tied to the MILGRAM experiments, as throughout the novel she sends trial reports of Es' behaviour back to another jackalope and until arriving in MILGRAM, Es believed jackalopes were entirely mythologial creatures.
Etymology[]
"Jacka" is the shortened form of "Jackalope" which is a portmanteu of "jack rabbit" (another name for a hare) and "antelope".
