Jaq is a natural leader who takes charge of the mice in Cinderella's care, often taking it upon himself to welcome newer mice to the group, such as Gus.

==Appearance== | |||
Jaq is a small brown mouse with a long tail and two large front teeth. Thanks to Cinderella, he wears miniaturized clothes specially crafted by her for him; Jaq's custom outfit consists of a cap, shoes, shirt and overshirt, which are all shades of red. In mouse form, Jaq has a noticeably high-pitched voice to suit his small stature. In addition, Jaq and his mouse friends occasionally let slip a minor speech quirk, referring to Cinderella as "Cinderellie" and Lucifer as "Rucifie". | |||

Jaq can access tight spaces and areas not accessible to humans. | Although Jaq's abilities in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' are not fully displayed, in the film, he is shown to be clever and stealthy, traits which help him during his constant run-ins with Lucifer. Being a mouse, he can also access tight spaces and areas not accessible to humans. | ||

Jaq first appears in Walt Disney's film classic film, ''Cinderella''. The film was, in turn, inspired by the Charles Perrault fairy tale, ''{{w|Cendrillon}}'', which was published in 1697. In Perrault's tale, the mice were only included with the purpose of being turned into horses for Cinderella's carriage. For the film, the mice's roles were expanded, turning them into friends for Cinderella, and some of them were given distinct personalities; thus, Jaq became the lead mouse. Also, in the film, Jaq is constantly seen partnered with his best friend, Gus, a fatter and slower mouse who is equally as brave and loyal to Cinderella. | Jaq first appears in Walt Disney's film classic film, ''Cinderella''.

Jaq' | ==Trivia== | ||
*Jaq was the first new Disney character featured in promotional pictures and footage of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.'' | |||
*The fast-paced, high-pitched, unintelligible language spoken by Jaq in ''Cinderella'' was dubbed "Mouse Latin" by Disney story man Winston Hibler. Because Jaq's use of the language was carried over into ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', subtitles that appear on the screen do not match what he actually says. However, there are some instances where this occurs, such as when he speaks to Ventus in a mouse trap and uses his trademark phrase, "Zugk-Zugk". Ironically, if Ventus returns to Castle of Dreams and speaks to Jaq in Cinderella's Room, Jaq's dialogue in the text boxes are spelled exactly as how he says it; for instance, "Ven-Ven" and "Flinderelly" are used. | |||
