#5 Jennifer “Lady JayJay” Ardor
Jennifer Ardor is an 8 year old diva. She considers herself a triple threat- sing, act, dance- all she needs is a stage or a camera and she’s good to go. Her latest persona is “Lady JayJay.” Her mom, Mrs. Ardor, a best-selling author on child-rearing, tolerates her eccentricities and fashion sense…to a point. She had to draw the line when she found Lady Jay sewing together pieces of bologna to make her own “meat dress” after watching a clip from the VMAs on YouTube.
Little does Jenny Ardor know, she’s not the only member of the household who has an alter ego and wears a costume. Her big brother Eric…yeah, he’s a superhero.
Fleshing out the supporting characters in EPIC, the superteen comic I’m working on with fellow 30 Characters Challenger Matt Zolman. Our main character has a large and colorful nuclear family, something I’m trying to have some fun with. “Lady Jay Jay” is an example of that. Check out the EPIC website for more on the comic.
Though she’s more artistically drawn, she sounds like a good foil for Marie-Bozo Chanteuiller, which I posted a few days ago and I believe is scheduled for Nov. 13!
