Sally's Suicide Attempt

Let's start with Sally, our sweet, patchwork girl. She's got a thing for Jack, you know, the whole "I'd do anything for him" vibe. But Jack's not having it, so Sally, in a moment of despair, swallows some deadly potion. Oops!

But wait! Dr. Finkelstein, her creator, saves the day. He's like, "Nah, girl, you're too pretty to die." And thus, Sally lives to wreak more havoc.

Jack's "Death" and Resurrection

Now, Jack. He's the big cheese, the Pumpkin King. He's got a god complex, thinks he can control Christmas. Spoiler alert: he can't. The townsfolk, they're not having his Santa impersonation, so they tie him to a chair and set him on fire.

But Jack's no ordinary skeleton. He's got a magical hat, remember? It saves him, and he's back, more determined than ever. It's like he's got nine lives, that guy.
