Origin

Jackie first took note of young Hunter Rose when he was still known as Eddie at the world fencing championship in England. She was a coach on the British team, and was struck by Eddie's style, speed, and finesse. She approached him and asked him to leave with her. Despite her being over twice his age, she was stunningly beautiful. Jackie's romance with Eddie would continue, her taking on the role of a mentor as much as a lover. She taught Eddie to search for the game in life.

Jackie eventually died. She was terminal ill since before ever meeting Eddie. She never mentioned her illness, nor did she display any obvious signs. She had prepared herself for it for quite some time, but decided to continue living and playing the game despite being sick. When her death came, it came quickly, and came as a shock to young Eddie. He would come to discover that she knew she was sick, and had set her affairs in order around a year before her death. Her influence on Eddie would be especially obvious after her death. Upon traveling back to America, Eddie took the name Hunter Rose and began his new life.
