Have you heard the tale of Stingy Jack? Legend goes Jack was a wicked drunkard who tricked the Devil, twice. The first, he had the Devil become a coin, saying it was to cheat someone he owed money to, only to put the coin next to a crucifix, and agreed to have the Devil spare his soul for 10 years if he removed him from the crucifix. The second time, Jack asked for an apple to eat on the way to Hell, only to trap the Devil in a tree by carving a cross into it, and making the Devil agree not to claim his soul if he let him go.

When Jack's time finally came, Heaven would not take him for being so wicked in life, and the devil took some glee in keeping up their bargain. Refusing them entry into Hell, the Devil gave Jack a burning coal from Hell to light their way back to the world of the living, and cursed him in doing so, cursed Jack to exist between Heaven and Hell, turning them into a monster. Jack, returning to the land of the living, took a turnip, and carved a lantern out of it, becoming "Jack of the Lantern", or "Jack O' Lantern". Much as people have over the centuries, Jack replaced his turnip with a pumpkin, and still wanders the world to this day.

In recent years, with mortal interest in monster girls, the Devil decided to get one more bit of revenge of Jack. Using the coal to channel their power, the Devil turned Jack into a beautiful woman, denying Jack the ability to scare others, as he had found fun in doing so on Halloween during the centuries. But, could this possibly give them a chance to find a new path, and a way to end their eternal wandering.

Jack, also known as "Stingy Jack", or "Jack of the Lantern", was a wicked person in life. They were an alcoholic, often being drunk most of the time. They also were well trained as a blacksmith, but when drunk, they don't do well. They tricked the Devil twice. The first time, they tricked the devil to turn into a coin to pay for drinks, and instead put the coin by a crucifix, making the Devil give them ten years before they would claim their soul. The second time, Jack tricked the Devil into getting them an apple, and trapping them in a tree by carving four crosses into the tree. Jack made the Devil promise never to claim his soul if he let the Devil out of the tree, which the Devil did.

When Jack finally died, having still kept up their wicked ways, Jack found they couldn't go to Heaven, being too evil to do so. And they couldn't go to Hell after the promise Jack forced the Devil to make. The Devil gave Jack a coal from hell to light their way, and when Jack touched it, they became a ghastly monster, looking as if hellfire is burning in them. Jack used a turnip to make a lantern to hold the coal, and has wandered the Earth for centuries. They are the origin of the tradition of jack o' lanterns, as jack o' lanterns are said to be carved to make evil spirits think Jack is nearby, and go away.

Jack has since replaced the turnip with a pumpkin lantern, and now enjoys scaring people during Halloween, as it's the only thing to occupy their time. They also still have a love of alcohol, and still have their crafty, trickster nature. But, in a last act of revenge, and due to mortal interests in monster girls in recent years, the Devil has now turned Jack into a beautiful demon woman looking to be in her early 20s, with huge breasts. Now Jack calls themselves "Jacqueline", and is now trying to find something else to occupy their time. Jack was originally attracted to woman, but now as Jacqueline, they are attracted to both genders. Jacqueline smells of fresh pumpkin, alcohol, and hellfire.

If they become romantically involved with someone, they will gain a second chance at a happy life, although they do not know this.
