== Background ==
Jade Lawson was born on October 31, 1994 in Clover, South Carolina to two high command members of the Jackals MC. She was raised under the protection of the MC and discovered the illegal activities her family engaged in early on in life. 
She graduated from high school and set her sights on attending college, but before she could apply, her parents were brutally killed by a rival gang. Her family encouraged her to move away and start a new life, even offering to help her financially until she got settled. She bought a one-way ticket to California and never looked back.
Jade spent 10 years in San Diego. She opened up a book shop near the beach, learned to surf, sang in a band and read countless books about astrology. She was itching for a new adventure and packed her bags once more and set her sights on Los Santos.

After shit went down LS, Jade decided to visit home in North Carolina. She visited with her Jackals MC family and was keeping in touch with just a few old friends from LS. 
One of her childhood friends, Jack, the Road Captain for the Jackals, told her about a huge opportunity in Miami. Their weed connect needed a new organizer. Jack had told them he might have the perfect person. Jade agreed to go to a meeting and see if it was a good fit.
She met the connect, Ryan - who went by Skully - they clicked immediately and she started working with him. She started with managing the grow op. Skully introduced her to Roxie and Jax, who would work on the grow op with her. They became close friends. They bonded over their love of bikes and beaches. They settled into a condo near the beach together. 
The girls decided to start an MC, which they named Devil Dolls. Roxie focused on recruitment, Jax managed the money and Jade created and enforced the rules. Soon they had a crew of 8 girls and 2 guys not including the 3 founders. They bought out the other condos in the complex and were lovingly known as the most chill biker gang in the city.
Skully supported them and included all of them in more of his weed op. He funded custom kuttes with sealed compartments for compressed packed weed. So they started transporting goods which would be disguised as rides. They also bought a bar that was only a 10 minute walk from the condo complex. It quickly became a hot spot for parties and the best illegal weed in Miami.
During one of their transports the crew was ambushed by one of Skully's rivals. PD was notified and pursued those who were not injured during the conflict. Jade and Jax were the only ones to make it out but were pursued by PD. They were apprehended and split up for questioning. The custom kuttes they wore for transports were well insulated and did not appear bulky. They were also coated with a chemical that made it difficult for drug dogs to give a solid identification. Both Jade and Jax had their kuttes on them when brought into PD for questioning. 
Jade kept quiet and requested a lawyer, like the club rules stated. Her lawyer arrived minutes before detectives walked in and proceeded to rip Jade's kutte off her back. They cut open the compartments revealing the drugs. Jade was arrested for drug trafficking. While she was being processed she saw Jax, without her kutte on, standing with detectives. She was not in handcuffs. 
Roxie visited the prison in full disguise and told Jade everything. Skully and Roxie were the only two who had escaped and gone into hiding. They were heading for Mexico, but would not stop looking for Jax, who had entered witness protection program. Jax had rolled on Skully's entire operation. She had given a statement implicating everyone in Devil Dolls. The condos had been raided, the bar closed down. 
Jade was sentenced to 10 years. She served nearly 3 years and was released early on parole. During her time in prison, she protected the Devil Dolls who were serving their time in the same facility. Before she was released, they decided to disband for good. She was given permission to move back to North Carolina to complete her parole and moved in with Jack. Her Jackals family helped her get back on her feet and got her a legal job at their diner. 
About 3 months later, she got a call from an old friend from LS. Things were changing. The criminal underworld was blossoming. Jade had just finished her parole. She had a legal job. Hadn't even been pulled over for a speeding ticket in the past 3 months. She was clean. And she didn't fucking hesitate to book a flight to LS to get her hands dirty all over again.
