Derived from Robert Louis Stevenson's popular novella, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"

Dr. Jekyll is a respected doctor and friend of both Lanyon, a fellow physician, and Utterson, a lawyer. Jekyll is a seemingly prosperous man, well established in the community, and known for his decency and charitable works. Since his youth, however, he has secretly engaged in unspecified dissolute and corrupt behavior. Jekyll finds this dark side a burden and undertakes experiments intended to separate his good and evil selves from one another. Through these experiments, he brings Mr. Hyde into being, finding a way to transform himself in such a way that he fully becomes his darker half.
"If I ever needed further justification for my experiments, gentleman; you have just provided it."

A style of parenting that provides a full spectrum of emotional and psychological experiences to a child vis-a-vis the parents’ instability and addictions which lays the groundwork for years of in-depth psychotherapies in which the child, throughout their lifespan, has the opportunity to undo the warp and find some semblance of balance and potentially, a sense of a true self.
Yup, at our house it was nose-to-the-grindstone discipline during the week and then Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride when the weekends rolled around; my parents were practicing devotees of Jekyll and Hyde Parenting.
Jezel is an amazing person pretty and has a confusing life. She might hate people she goes out with and she might also not be good on relationships. Jezel's can be misunderstood. Sometimes they can be a little to talkative but they are one and unique a Jezel.
Look at her she is so bad...
That is Jezel and she is actually really nice if you get to know her.
I guess she is really pretty and doesn't look as mean..

Kind, loving, smart. Outgoing and kind of shy at first. Loving and super athletic. Short, but has a big personality. Honest and trustworthy she will always have your back and keep your secrets. She is a great friend and makes a great girlfriend too. Silly, unique and sometimes award but everyone loves a jezlyn.
"Hey, you see that girl?"
"Yeah, she's so pretty what a Jezlyn!"
