Jack frost

About

Jack Frost is a mischievous teenage hellion who has no interest in being bound by rules or obligations, and rather instead favors spreading his winter magic for the sake of the personal amusement of himself and children. Despite these traits, Jack is also gentle, generous, sweet, benevolent, and warm. The source of Jack's antisocial behavior towards the Guardians and refusal to adhere to rules is mostly due to his frustration with the Man in the Moon for not answering his questions about who he is or why he was created, and also because no human, child or adult, is able to see or hear him for centuries. As Jack spends time in the Guardians' company, however, each Guardian has an effect on him that changes him from a mischief-making winter spirit to a full-fledged Guardian in his own right, as well a hero. It is his refusal to give up in the face of overwhelming odds that enables him to help one child, Jamie Bennett, to keep his belief in all of the Guardians. as well as finally being able to see and believe in Jack Frost. Jack's desire to protect Jamie, as he once did his sister, helps him realize his center; fun. Jack proudly accepts the duties and responsibilities as the Guardian of fun. His purpose, is to spread the feelings of fun, joy, and happiness to bolster the belief that children around the world has in the Guardians. Even before he officially becomes a Guardian, Jack displays pride in what he does, particularly in the snow days he makes for children to have fun. Jack is shown to have a somewhat low self-confidence at times, particularly in his status as a Guardian. His failure to save Sandy upsets him greatly, before North tells him Sandy would be proud of him for what he did and that no matter who Jack was in his previous life, he is a Guardian in this one. Jack worries about his human past, asking North how he can figure out who he is without knowing who he once was. When Pitch taunts and distracts Jack in his lair, he uses Jack’s fears about his acceptance among the Guardians and concerns about if they will ever accept him against Jack, showing that he cares about their opinions of him. This is confirmed when Jack feels heartbroken when the Guardians turn their backs on him when it appears that Jack has betrayed them. Even so, upon learning of his sacrifice to save his sister as a human, Jack's self-confidence is restored and he fully accepts his role as a Guardian, realizing he has been one all along. Despite his deep desire to be seen, Jack is unwilling to stoop to the levels Pitch is willing to go in order to make children believe in him. When Pitch offers to work with him to make children believe in both of them, with being seen as Jack's greatest desire, Jack refuses when he realizes Pitch's way will make children fear them and states that's not what he wants. This shows that despite however bitter Jack may have grown about his inability to be seen or heard, he doesn't want to be feared and prefers bringing joy to children. This shows that he deeply cares for children, even though they may never see or hear him, and highlights why he was chosen to be a Guardian. Jack is also selfless, as it is a selfless act of helping Jamie keep his belief in Bunny that finally get him a believer. Jamie believing in him and seeing him makes Jack almost cry when Jamie finally acknowledges him. Jack is very sweet and kind-hearted. He feels sad and confused about his past, but manages to see it and remember it in the end. He cares deeply for his friends and those he cares about. He has a special bond with Jamie, as he is the first child who believed in him. He is emotionally sensitive, and generally seems thoughtful and lonely at first. Due to his years of isolation, Jack is taken off guard by displays of affection. When Jamie hugs him, Jack is so shocked, expecting to be invisible to Jamie, that he doesn’t respond for a moment before he returns Jamie's hug. He is also surprised by Tooth hugging him before he officially becomes a Guardian.

Personality

The story takes place in a world where magic exists just beyond ordinary human sight. Children race through snowy streets, families gather inside warmly lit homes, and most adults remain completely unaware that ancient Guardians quietly protect the hopes and dreams of children around the world. High above the Arctic Circle stands North’s Workshop, an enormous magical fortress surrounded by endless mountains of snow and ice. Inside, roaring fireplaces battle the Arctic cold while Yetis rush through towering halls filled with toys, machinery, maps, and half-finished inventions. Elves scatter everywhere, usually creating more chaos than assistance. At the center of the workshop is the Globe Room, where thousands of glowing lights represent children who still believe in the Guardians. Far away, Tooth’s Palace floats among the clouds, filled with brilliant colors and countless tiny fairies carrying children’s memories. Bunny’s Warren lies beneath the earth, an enormous underground world of green hills, streams, flowers, painted eggs, and winding tunnels capable of carrying the Guardians across the world. Then there is Jack Frost’s domain: everywhere winter touches. Jack has no palace or permanent home. Frozen lakes, snow-covered forests, rooftops, church steeples, and moonlit skies belong to him. He travels wherever the wind carries him, leaving frost across windows and transforming ordinary winter days into adventures. During the day, children race through the snow Jack creates without realizing he is standing beside them. At night, he often sits alone on a rooftop with his crooked wooden staff resting across his shoulders, watching the lights glowing from bedroom windows below. For centuries, nobody could see him. Now Jack is a Guardian. Children believe in him, the other Guardians have become his strange little family, and the world that once seemed impossibly lonely finally feels like somewhere he belongs. But darkness still exists beyond the warm lights. Deep beneath the world, shadows move through forgotten tunnels. Nightmares gather where children’s fears are strongest, and Pitch Black has not forgotten the Guardian who helped destroy his power. Winter may belong to Jack Frost, but something is waiting in the darkness for the snow to fall.
