I fit in my locker, trash cans... you'd be surprised what those guys fit me into.  — Jackson Jekyll in "Miss Infearmation"

Jackson Jekyll
Monster High Student
Age	16
Killer Style	I like sweater vests and plain styles that are neat, orderly and buttoned down. It may seem a little quiet and dull but the last thing I need in my life is more loud and flashy.
Freaky Flaw	My dual nature makes it impossible for me to be totally reliable. It's not that I don't try, but it's like a total creep shoot whether or not I actually follow through on any promise I make.
Pet	Crossfade, a chameleon. He can blend into any situation and never call attention to himself.
Favorite Activity	I'm actually pretty athletic, not like werewolf athletic of course, but I like playing basketball–I mean casketball–and video games.
Biggest Pet Peeve	Having to listen to loud music with a beat. It causes me to lose my short-term memory and my long-term dignity.
Fav School Subject	Mad Science. I don't know why; guess it's just in my blood.
Least Fav Subject	Physical Deaducation during dodge ball week.
Favorite Color	Yellow.
Favorite Food	Macaroni and Cheese
BFFs	Frankie Stein andDeuce Gorgon

Jackson Jekyll is the 16-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. Jekyll, the latter presumably a descendant of the Dr. Jekyll from the 19th century. Jackson's father is a fire elemental.

Jackson is the alter-ego of Holt Hyde. He, like his alter-ego, is voiced by Cindy Robinson.

PersonalityEdit

Jackson's alter ego is Holt Hyde, known as DJ Hyde in the books; his transformation is triggered by music.

Jackson is friendly and likes to play casketball, though he has a geeky fashion style and is sometimes picked on by other students. He appears to be the only human student at Monster High, and he is confused by his normalcy and feels a bit outcast in a school full of monsters.

In the diaries he once asked Draculaura to bite him,^[1] as he was afraid they couldn't really be friends when school started. Draculaura was able to talk him out of it, but she could tell he was still depressed.

In the book series he is not afraid or uncomfortable about being around monsters and is able to interact with them quite easily. Draculaura noted in her diary that he was unfazed when he met her father, who normally creeps out both human and monsters.^[2]

In the webisodes he seems much more wary around monsters, most likely due to being bullied at school for being a "normie". He even went as far as to say that he "didn't belong", and that no one would want him at Cleo's party in the episode "Hyde and Shriek".

While the Monster High students are unaware of Jackson's/Holt's dual nature, older monsters can apparently sense his duality. This is evident in Draculaura's 'Basic' diary when she overhears a conversation between her father and Jackson, where Jackson makes a light joke about stakes. Her father later cryptically tells her that Jackson is more than he appears.^[3]

Physical DescriptionEdit

Jackson has black hair with blonde ends, blue eyes and a pierced left eyebrow. He has a yin yang symbol between his shoulders. Because he is shy, his body language is nervous and he tends to hunch his shoulders.

Jackson, and therefore Holt, has a Yin-Yang tattoo on his back at the base of his neck.

TransformationEdit

Throughout each storyline, Holt and Jackson have no control over their transformations and change from one into the other under specific circumstances. In the webisodes, it seems to be music that causes Holt/Jackson's transformation. This is first seen in "Hyde and Shriek".In the books it is heat.

In Holt's 'Basic' diary, Holt's transformation into Jackson Jekyll normally occurs at sunrise and lasts until sunset. Holt noted that when he was trying to see what the town was like during the day, he blacked out at the moment of sunrise. However, in Jackson Jekyll's diary, it's revealed that the trigger for Jackson's transformation has since changed, so that it is now music as in the webisodes. Specifically, "music with a 4/4 time signature played in excess of 90 decibels" triggers the transformation into Holt. However according to the dairy, because of Jackson's "elemental heritage + hyde transformation + teenage boy" status, it is likely to change again at least once more before he hits adulthood.

In the books, the change is caused by temperature shifts, be it from him getting hot from embarrassment or from outside forces like a hot day.

Despite not being aware of their true nature, there are times when Jackson's and Holt's memories and abilities leak over to the other. For example, in the diaries Jackson is able to keep up with Deuce Gorgonin a basketball game (to the Gorgon's surprise),^[4] while Holt recognizes Draculaura at a club despite the fact it's the "first" time he meets her.
