'''Where and when did you get your powers?'''
 
'''Where and when did you get your powers?'''
 
Baby, I was born this way! I think. I mean, as long as Halcyon Child Services has had a file for me, they've mentioned the weird voice thing. I know you've noticed the voice thing. You know, how each word, and sometimes even each phoneme sounds like it was spoken by a different voice? Yeah - that's a thing I've been doing as long as I can remember. It kinda freaked out my foster parents the first time they started hearing their own voices coming out of my mouth. HCS warned them, but I guess it wasn't enough for a lot of them. Some of my "long term placements" became "short term" very quickly, is all I'm saying. Not that it bothers me or anything...

=== MC & Player Questions ===
 
 
'''Who in Halcyon besides the Queen has taken an interest in you, and what you can do, and isn't taking no for an answer?'''
 
Lately, I keep getting mysterious messages on my phone...my computer...randomly scrolling across the bottom of a television broadcast for a fraction of a second - all from someone/something that calls themselves '''The Data Dancer'''. It's starting to get really creepy; I have no clue what they want, or why they are so interested in me.
 
 
'''What's the coolest trick you've pulled with your abilities so far?'''
 
Well, there was the time that I waylaid an AEGIS liaison who had come to speak at a school assembly about some new initiative, locked her in an empty room, and took her place at the podium to give her presentation...with some 'creative' amendments to her spiel. That was fun - the principal only figured out what was going on when the woman burst into the gym halfway through the assembly.
 
 
'''Do you ever get confused between Mockingbird and Jaclyn and whoever you're pretending to be? Do you ever wonder who you REALLY are?'''
 
Jaclyn is Mockingbird. Mockingbird is Jaclyn.
 
 
Everything else is just playing a character; like acting in a play.
 
 
'''Who on the team do you count on for backup if things go sideways, or can you handle it all yourself?'''
 
Look, people suck. You can't trust anyone; they'll either screw you over or let you down, and these guys are no different. If I have to rely on someone, I always have a backup plan for when it inevitably goes wrong.
 
 
=== A Note on Psychology ===
 
Jaclyn is hurting, but she'll die before she admits it. She's been tossed aside enough for being different that she defaults to keeping people at arms length, so they can't hurt her again. When she does get close to people, she's always subconsciously on the alert for signs that things are starting to fall apart, and she's quick to jump on any little hiccup as an excuse to push people away. Because she can't be hurt if she's the one doing the hurting, right?
 
 
If her life had been more stable, and her relationships weren't all so volatile, she'd probably be a hero. But she's prickly, and getting through to her at this point takes a lot more time, effort, and patience than most people want to invest. So she hangs out with Teegan, who is at least up front with her motivations regarding Jaclyn.
