* AppropriatedAppellation: "Jacky Ha-Ha" actually started out as someone mocking the way she stuttered on her last name when introducing herself in preschool; she quickly embraced it and turned it into a badge declaring her wit.



* BerserkButton: Jacky gets furious when her stutter is called a "speech impediment".

to:

* BerserkButton: Jacky gets furious when her stutter is called a "speech impediment". She also doesn't like racist remarks being made about Meredith either.



* DidNotThinkThisThrough: A common failing of Jackie with such examples as "let's eat one of everything on the boardwalk" (she and Meredith end up throwing up), "I'll climb the local Ferris wheel" (she gets into massive trouble) and "let's call out the boardwalk thieves in song" (said thieves do it right back, forcing Jackie to come up with something else).

Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: Is one to her daughters in the in-universe present day and is writing the books, chronicling her childhood in the 90s, so they don't make her mistakes.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: "Jerk" would be a stretch but Jacky isn't afraid to take shots at others as part of her jokes; however, if one of her jokes is actively mean instead of annoying, she'll near-instantly regret it and [[EveryoneHasStandards racist or sexist jokes are off-limits completely]].

to:

[[folder: Jacky Jacqueline "Jacky" Hart]]



* {{Delinquent}}: Downplayed. Jacky never actually breaks the law (She mentions that some of her pranks are ''borderline'' illegal), and isn't a bully, but her antics earned her twenty detentions in the first week of school.
* HatesDresses: Jacky doesn't like wearing dresses much. She can't win a bike race or climb a Ferris wheel in a dress.



* MiddleChildSyndrome: She doesn't get as much parental attention, so she is often an AttentionWhore.
* MotorMouth: Jacky tends to ramble.
->'''Ms. Alvarez''': You come from a large family, correct?
->'''Jacky''': Well, no one is actually large. Hannah is what you might call pleasantly plump. She has a sweet tooth. Not sure which one it is. Probably a canine.



[[/folder]]

to:

[[/folder]]* {{Tomboy}}: Jacky is a rebellious prankster who likes sports and isn't a fan of dresses.
* TrashTalk: When she played catcher on a Little League team, she would trade insults with the batters for the other team.
