Hobbies:

Photography-
She'd have to have a passion for the hobby to want to make it her full time career. Jack has been snapping pictures of very nearly everything since she was about 7, when her parents first started giving her disposable cameras to play with. It didn't take long though, for them to realize their little girl had a budding talent. By 11 they had given her a proper digital camera, and her photography can be seen littering the walls of their house. She loves taking pictures of flowers and nature, as well as catching friends, families, and even strangers in candid, beautiful moments. She's even submitted some of her work for contests and calendars.

Cooking -
When she's not being a shutter-bug, Jack loves spending time in the kitchen. It doesn't matter if she's following a recipe, or working on something new and different. She loves the sounds, smells, and tastes that go along with creating things in the kitchen. If she hadn't gone into photography, the culinary arts would have been a close second.

Hiking -
Hiking is a hobby that was born from another of her hobbies. Jacqueline loves to photograph nature, and the best way to find the best parts of nature is to go looking for them. At first it was a means to an ends, but after a time Jack learned to love the quiet time she got while walking forest trails or through fields. There's so many sights, smells, and sounds, and you never really know what you might see. It can also be incredibly therapeutic. PLus it's healthy!


Virtues:

Eager -
From a very young age Jacqueline has been an eager one. She's not afraid of trying new things, or going new places, but what she really thrives on is the praise and recognition that comes along with an eager, can-do attitude. If you don't try, you'll never succeed!

Frugal -
A penny saved is a penny earned! While Jacqueline's family was comfortably middle class, her father and mother tended to be more frugal. They did not spend their money on any little thing, nor did they spoil their children needlessly. Instead, if Jack or her siblings wanted something they couldn't afford on their own, they were given the option of working and saving up for said item. Starter saving accounts were set up for them early, and these good habits and values have stuck with Jack even into her young adult years. She likes to bargain shop, look for deals, refurbish and reuse. She will always think heavily on a new, large purchase to weight whether or not she truly needs and wants it.

Observant -
Being a photographer, Jack has learned to be very observant. Not just of her surroundings, but of the people around her as well. At first it was a means to capture the perfect shot, but it comes in handy in other ways as well. It's easier to spot things, to find things that are lost, or to notice something strange or off about a person or a situation. She takes things in quickly, catching details others might miss, and reacts accordingly.


Flaws:

Anxious -
For as eager as Jack can be in certain situations, she's really ill-equipped in handling when things start to go wrong. She has a tendency to over-think and over-worry. So long as things are running smoothly, she'd fine, but the second it starts to crumble, even a little, Jack falls apart as well. As a result she tends to avoid a lot of overly social events where communication is predominate. It's also part of why she's so frugal.

Quiet -
Along with anxiety, Jack is also fairly shy. These combined make her a fairly quiet individual. One that's less likely to speak up, especially when she isn't on familiar footing with those around her. Being behind the camera allows her to be a part of things, without necessarily having to interact with people, and that's the way she likes it.

Push Over -
A keen desire to never rock the boat or cause any problems has left Jack as a bit of a push over. She's much too willing to allow things to happen that she might not be happy or comfortable with, or going along with plans that either don't seem fun, or would be down right unwise. Of course that only feeds further into her anxiety, which in turn feeds further into her desire to placate and pacify situations. It's a vicious cycle that she's had little luck in breaking.

Hey Bee!
Jack's Civi profile looks great! Sounds like the girl lives for her camera!

Just a couple of things on her powered profile if you would please smile
Could you please provide a link to the space wonder she is named after? Just is just for double checking purposes.

Also, for her eternal attack, the current range of the attack is only 0.96 feet from where she stands in any direction. I am not sure if you wanted it to be that small but please feel free to make the radius bigger of the circle. Unless you wanted just her to get hit with it.

Double checking!

Quote me for another look!

Looks good! Congratulations!
A GM will be by shortly!
