SCP-1903 is a rabbit humanoid character from the mythos of the SCP Foundation website. Her debut story, SCP-1903 — Jackie's Secret was authored by Fantem for the Pitch Haven canon.

SCP-1903 is a female rabbit-like humanoid standing 162 centimeters tall, with black hair, light skin, and a missing left eye. She superficially appears to wear a costume. Her white animal mask is actually her face, and despite appearing to be constructed through papier-mâché, it is comprised of skin cells, an unidentified plastic, blood, cotton fibers, and trace amounts of mercury. Non-invasive examination and related experiments indicate that surgical removal of the pseudo mask would be almost guaranteed to result in fatal blood loss due to unavoidable damage to blood vessels, arteries, teeth, and nerve endings.

Her hands and feet are stained black due to her mercury-contaminated blood seeping through her pores, and have grown black claws on her fingers and toes. She both has human ears and wears a pair of white novelty rabbit ears; the latter of which function as her actual ears, as if they are taken off her head, she will become deaf until they are returned. Despite what should be expected, she does not suffer from the effects of mercury poisoning nor exsanguination via chronic hematohidrosis, and the exposed hypodermis and dermis layers of her skin around her mask does not bleed nor has contracted an infection.

SCP-1903 was born as a human named Jackie Barter in the early 20th century. As a young adult, Barter entered Las Vegas' sex work industry as a prostitute (wearing a bunny costume complete with a rabbit mask as her attire) until the 1940s, when she was physically and sexually assaulted by "A.F.", a wealthy client who owned a chemical factory and cheated on his wife. That day, the client went as far as to cut her eye out with a stiletto dagger and used mercury in an attempt to destroy any physical evidence to the nature of her injuries. As Barter was treated in hospital for her injuries, she manifested her anomalous properties: her inhuman biology and a conditional infohazardous property.

If a person gains a certain extent of knowledge of what "A.F." had done to Jackie Barter, they will undergo the same transformation as SCP-1903: the epidermis layer on their face will flake off to reveal a mask, blood will seep from their pores (however mercury does not spontaneously manifest in their blood stream), their hands and feet will grow claws, and will become deaf unless they find and wear a pair of fake ears. This infohazard is not especially virulent, as SCP-1903-affected cannot infect others with knowledge about their transformation, only by spreading knowledge of SCP-1903's; this caused a containment breach shortly after her discovery that was secured once the SCP Foundation identified the infohazard at the cost of twenty personnel. Due to this and her nature has a sapient being of human-level intelligence, she is of Euclid containment class.

All attempts at removing a mask from an SCP-1903-affected person has resulted in the individual's death from exsanguination. This has been in the event of surgical attempts to remove them as well as less cautious means; there have been crude removals done out of ignorance (as was with the case of "A.F.", who shortly after died at home after cutting and prying his mask off) or with knowledge of the consequences (such as with the former head of SCP-1903 research, Dr. Stuart Hayward, who committed suicide by tearing off his cat mask).
