Jupiter North

Morrigan Crow
At first wary of Morrigan, Jack was quite rude to her and they would often exchange spiteful remarks. Eventually however Jack warmed up to Morrigan and they became good friends.
Jack visited the Wundrous society show trial to support Morrigan as a friend.
Morrigan knew how it must feel for Jack to be a witness, to see things from the Gossamer which other people can't and make sense of the madness. So, they often play a game in which Jack tells Morrigan how each visitor at the Deucalion is thinking or feeling.
Even though they like to tease each other for fun, Morrigan and Jack do care about each other.
Hawthorne Swift

Etymology
John is the English form of the Latin Iohannes, itself a form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes) which was derived from the Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious."[2] Jack is derived from Jackin (earlier Jankin), a medieval diminutive of the name John. Jack is often regarded as an independent name instead of only a nickname.[3]
Arjuna (अर्जुन) is a name of Sanskrit (Indian) descent meaning "white, clear."[4] In Hindu texts, Arjuna was the name of a hero, the half-mortal, half-divine son of Indra who bested even his father in combat.
Korrapati (కొర్రపాటి) is a location surname. It combines the Telugu పతి (pati) meaning "belongs to" with the place, in this case, an area called Korra or Korrapalem.[5]
Trivia and Behind-the-Scenes
- Mentioned to be in his third year at Graysmark School during the events of Nevermoor
