JACKIE THE RIPPER

Character design

East End of London. The year was 1888.

Creepy rumors started to sweep trough the city. Beautiful girls were brutally murdered by someone who has a good knowledge about human anatomy. All the women murdered were prostitutes, and all except for one - Elizabeth Stride - were horribly mutilated. What was in common: the five women were all active or former prostitutes; all of the victims were from the lower class; all lived no more than a quarter of a mile from one another; and all the murders were committed after pub closing time.

But there also were added another salient details: No one ever heard a single scream or cry for help, unusual for such a densely populated neighborhood. None of the bodies exhibited defense wounds, such as slashes or bruising on the hands and forearms.The people called the maniac Jack the Ripper. In the city Jack the Ripper became a stand-in for the prejudices and fears of London society.

Nearly 140 years later, Jack the Ripper has become arguably the most infamous and most mythologized serial killer. There were many theories who was it, but nobody knows to this days.

But nobody even thought seriously what if it was a girl...
