    You just answered "Why did they contact the guy that designed Jack to write this?" with "Because the guy that designed Jack wrote this."

    I thought she sounded like an interesting character when the profiles came out, and lo and behold she's interesting.

    So haters gonna hate.

    Ah, just one nitpick Canon:

    -- Okay. I understand. Let us make our contract, Mother.
    Even in the lines that don't specifically have a pronoun, I get the feeling you should still be using "we".

    Leaving aside that I thought he was asking something else, that's a perfectly good explanation.

    It would have been stranger if they asked someone else.

    Ok, let's try this one: something went wrong in the editorial department, and they had to fill don't-remember-how-many-pages, and thus Higashide volunteered?

    Yes, what I said.

    Maybe Jackie is popular in the Japanese fanbase, and they reserved her a spot in Ace, what do I know?

    There's no fanbase :P

    I dunno, I don't see why there has to be a reason other than "it's an interesting character". Sounds like you're just looking for a reason to bash it and cry "fanservice!" because it's not the one you would have preferred to see.

    I agree, but I do get the feeling that a lot of people were put off by an infamous serial killer of prostitutes being depicted as a young girl with skimpy clothes.

    I'm not because it is quite interesting and I never had a problem with her beyond "I have no idea why she is dressed that way". I literally assumed we would see any other Servant other than Frankenstein and that monk guy I can't remember, before Jack the Ripper.

    People seem totally okay with Astolfo being a trap or Jeanne d'Arc showing off her legs though. :P

    Jeanne d'Arc is Takeuchi so I gave up on explaining that.
    Astolfo is the result of needing to please his Avalon sugar momma.

    Ah, you finally said it. You were going around it~

    Well, it is fanservice. But aside from this I never bashed Jackie. I always said that her background is well done, and the design is the only thing I'd change about her.

    So, in other words, you have wasted a good chance to shut up. >:P

    How exactly "Her design is retarded, her backstory is not" makes no sense?

    It seemed to me you were trying to tease me into going full hipster mode.

    But whatever, let's leave this argument behind.
