Personality: 

Jacquelyn is a young woman who believes that women have the same rights as men do. With these beliefs, it gives her a strong will at heart when facing enemies or others that get in her way. She can be lady-like when she only needs it to be shown such as formal meetings with other nobility. Jacquelyn has a sisterly attachment when it comes to her "brother" Jackson, but towards anyone else she doesn't show much kindness. She has a strange connection with mythical creatures such as Gryphons. They usually come to her at ease and she treats them kindly unlike to other humans. Treating men and women get the same treatment from her. There is no difference between them in her eyes. With treating both genders equally, it shows how much of a leader she can be when leading a group of people who are in dire need of help. Jacquelyn enjoys a good fight every now and then and does not resort to magic unless up against another sorcerer. Other nobles believe she is just a sweet, innocent girl according to her looks, so many underestimate her by first glance. She does not appreciate that many men instantly underestimate her and causes her anger to build up.

History: 

Raefus was ruler of Cotter Castle with a wonderful wife named Isabel and a great son named Jackson. It was a great family until a dear friend of his named Rowan came to him and wished to take care of the young baby girl he had in his care. Rowan had promised his long time friend Elenor, an old flame to Raefus, to take care of her daughter Jacquelyn, but could no long afford to do so. With this, Raefus took baby Jacquelyn into his home as his ward. It was obvious that Isabel was not her mother as the young girl grew up. She decided to take on her mother's maiden name Cullins rather than being a Cotter like her brother Jackson. In secret, Isabel taught Jacquelyn the secrets of magic seeing how the girl had the ability to use it. Jacquelyn didn't use magic much, so it wasn't obvious she was a witch to her people or her father Raefus. On her twentieth birthday, Jackson went rogue against his father and became a thief that was well known throughout the land and in other kingdoms as well. In secret, Jackson came to Jacquelyn asking her to take his place while he went on a journey in search of a relic known as The Fountain of Youth. Jacquelyn agreed to his request and took Jackson's place, but made sure no one knew it was really her as Jackson. She stole from noble families during her visits to their kingdoms, but only when they were being distrustful to their people. When she visits Camelot, she steals from the Pendragons seeing how cruel they can be to those who use magic even if not all magic is cruel. No one has yet to suspect her of stealing from any kingdom due to her kind and innocent appearance.

Friends: 

Arthur Pendragon (The two met when they were mere teenagers when Uther and Raefus were meeting for the first time. At first, Arthur didn't care much for Jacquelyn until Jackson had brought her to when both boys were to practice sparring together. They make small talk, but it's all just jokes when the two flirt with each other seeing how they see one another as siblings)

Gias (When she was visiting Camelot, Jacquelyn was sick at one point and Gais had brought back into good health. She trusts Gias more than anyone besides Jackson. When she snuck into Camelot, she had told Gias of her impersonating as her rogue brother and about how she can use magic)

Merlin (Jacquelyn had met Merlin when she was pretending to be Jackson. She had robbed Arthur and his men when they were protecting some royal jewelry from another noble family. When Merlin had secretly used magic, she used magic openly to cancel it out revealing that she knew magic, but only as Jackson. When she's Lady Jacquelyn, she helps Merlin with his tasks against his objections of saying that a lady of her nobility shouldn't bother with such things)

Gwen (Gwen had accidentally walked in on Jacquelyn changing into Jackson one night when she was visiting Camelot on family business. Jacquelyn made Gwen promise not to tell a single soul about her identity. After that, Gwen allows Jacquelyn stay with her when she is as Jackson. Both get along perfectly fine even if they have their quarrels every now and then)

Lancelot (Both have come across paths, but only as Lancelot and Jackson. Never has Lancelot seen Jacquelyn as Lady Jacquelyn, but only heard of her. She is impressed by his skill with a sword and hopes that one day he would treat her no different if she ever reveals herself to him).

Love Interest(s): 

Lancelot or Merlin

(I am in love with this series! I just got to season 3, but I already know what happens due to watching an episode a few months ago where Morgana was all evil and what-not.)
