Jackaroe
Mary "Jacky" Faber
 * Action Girl
 * Catch Phrase: "I am so very hard on my friends" and "Men, i swear."
 * And "I am not shy in that regard." And "It's just that i wasn't raised up proper." Jacky has a lot of these.
 * "I am promised to another," and its replacement, "I have sworn to live single all of my days," from when she temporarily breaks up with Jaimy in Under The Jolly Roger.
 * Cowardly Lion
 * Embarrassing Nickname "Puss-in-Boots", "Princess Pretty Bottom"...

 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Jacky is the tomboy, with Amy as girly girl.
