== 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.
== Story so Far... ==
Jade Lawson arrived in Los Santos on August 11th, 2022. After spending the past 10 years in a big city, Jade set her sights up North to avoid the hustle and bustle. She went to Harmony and inquired about a job with Suki Wright, who hired her on the spot. 
Jade took her training seriously and came in for training daily. She met Darren Creasy and Ezra Rigoli who helped her learn, not only about car repairs, but about the city in general. Ezra took her on a tour of the city to learn about the gang territories. He also got her fully stocked up with a phone dongle, NOS bottle, radio, VPN and a Boe Bear. 
On her 3rd day in the city she was taken hostage for a Paleto Bank robbery by CG with Ezra. They were taken hostage right outside Harmony, so a car full of Harmony employees staked out the robbery to ensure they were safe. 
Jade wanted stay out of the city, but needed another form of income. She posted on Twatter about looking for a job up North and received a reply from Fraser Kensington about Mojito Inn. Jade made her way to Paleto and spoke with Adonis Monroe and was hired on as kitchen staff. Fraser asked Jade if she liked bikes and Jade voiced her hopes of buying a chopper soon. They exchanged numbers and he invited her to hang out around Paleto more often.
Jade was focused on saving her money to buy a bike so she was sleeping at the motel next door to Harmony. Etta Hawthorne offered her a car, free of charge, to help her get around the city. Jade is now the proud owner of a Cheburek, 
Ezra and Darren moved into a house in Mirror Park and were looking to have someone decorate. Jade volunteered and finally had a place in the city to rest her head. She also had an opportunity to practice her interior design skills.
After about a week, Jade had saved enough money to buy herself a bike. Jade made her way to PDM and bought the Innovation. She reached out to Fraser to let him know she had gotten her bike. He invited her to meet some of his fellow Mayhem MC members later that week. Jade met Fritz Ericson, Mattias Nilson, Synn Payne, Eden Madchen, Fraser Kensington and Arthuro LeBlank - on the day of Arthuro & Adonis' wedding - and started hanging out in Paleto working at Mojito more often.
Jade was spending a lot of time working at Mojito Inn and hanging out with members of Mayhem. She met Blake Cameron, a Mayhem hangaround at that time, and started hanging out with him while on the clock. The two flirted back and forth and eventually caused quite the scandal with what is known as the "Mojito Inn Kitchen Incident". The pair had a talk at the Paleto pier to discuss their relationship status. They decided to try dating, but called it "pivoting" - a reference to the beloved Friends episode.
Blake was prospected shortly after and began to stress about Jade's intentions with the club and whether or not they could keep their relationship separate from club duties. Jade assured him that she was raised to know the difference and he shouldn't worry. Blake left the city for a period of time, during which Jade worried about the validity of their relationship and if they would work out. Fraser spent time with Jade giving her advice on following where her heart takes her.
Jade decided to get her pilots license in an effort to overcome her fear of heights. Arthur Lionheart taught her to fly and they became close friends. Jade began to rely on Arthur and confide in him regarding her relationships and hopes for joining Mayhem. 
Jade was made a hangaround for Mayhem a short while later. She began going on more and more outings with the crew including a ride through the city. An incident with a RUST member a short-lived war between RUST & Mayhem began. Jade made her way to Paleto after hearing the club call out RUST members circling to attempt to get those injured to safety. Raymond Romanov spotted Jade and dragged her to the place where her friends had been dumped. He shot Jade to send a message that RUST demands respect and no one is safe, even hangarounds.
After Blake's return, the pair joined Gabriel in a weed run. Jade expressed interest in having more involvement with drug-related crime and was given a few seeds to try growing on her own. It was at this time Gabriel pulled Jade aside and asked about her intentions with the club and if she understood the commitment required. After a lengthy discussion, Gabriel told Jade he would be putting up a vote to sponser her as a prospect. 
A warehouse was available in Paleto and Blake and Jade bought it together. Jade spent hours decorating with Fraser as company. Fraser admitted to having feelings for Jade and wishing he had spoken up before Blake and Jade started seeing each other. Jade had been questioning her own feelings and admitted to having a crush on Fraser. 
The following day, Jade spoke to Blake and broke the news. It was a heartbreaking conversation and Blake left Jade sitting on the beach alone. He reached out to fellow prospect Bunnie Bunsworth, who regularly practiced magic on her fellow club members, to have her make him a potion to remove Jade from his memories. This broke Jade's heart and made her worry about starting a relationship with Fraser. 
During a casual drive through the mountains near Paleto, Fraser & Jade came across Brian Knight driving through the wilderness. Brian was looking for a high command member of Mayhem to voice his grievances regarding the kidnapping of Sam Baas. After reporting back to the members awake, Gabriel Crow called Knight to meet and discuss his concerns. Knight proceeded to kidnap Gabriel and take him to Norman Bones to offer him as a trade to get Baas back from purgatory. Mayhem members had watched Baas get taken hostage and not intervened, so Knight felt it was justified. Knight changed his mind, but Mayhem was now on high alert.
A member of Street Team attempted to steal a bike from a Mayhem member and a gun was pointed at them, this bruised their ego so another short-lived war began. Jade drove around Paleto in her new Penumbra FF keeping an eye out. A car pulled up and questioned her, she admitted to being a hangaround and was promptly shot. Jade was frustrated that she was getting injured so often and couldn't do more. She shared her concerns with Fraser, who comforted her and assured her Mayhem recognized her dedication. This was the first time Jade told Fraser she loved him.
Jade went to the open Dodo interviews and was interviewed by Leland Jones, Babis Joestaridis, Ava Deveraux and Cydney Lune for a position. Jade was made aware that she had 3 vouches already. She was given the job on the spot and told that the group of interviewers hoped to see her become a manager one day. 
The following day, Mayhem President, Fritz Ericson, gets taken hostage at Paleto Bank by GG. The cops responding - specifically Lea Nova - start talking shit about Mayhem after GG made their getaway. A small crew heads into the city to send a message to Lea Nova. Eddie Dee, Gabriel Crow, Johnny Adamss and Jade find an officer on their own and tell them to tell Nova to stay out of Paleto before shooting them. Cops send it up to Paleto and find Jade driving. The officers chase Jade and eventually, they gun her down. Jade calls out over radio that she is being shot at. Jade was unconscious but wakes up to the beautiful sound of 13a's. Everyone except for Gabriel was caught and Jade spent her first night in jail.
A few days later, on October 15th, 2022, Jade was made a prospect.
Jade spent her time as a prospect was focused on trying to grow weed as often as possible. Pushing and getting packed weed ready for runs whenever she had her Mayhem family around to help her. She worked regularly at Mojito Inn and helped plan the Halloween event - Reaper Con - being held in Paleto. She set up an Escape Room that was a hit with those who attended Reaper Con. 
Shortly after Reaper Con, Jade left for North Carolina with Fraser. She needed a break after planning the event and needed time to consider her future. While in North Carolina, her Jackals family told her they discovered who was responsible for her parents murders. Jade spent the trip hunting them down, torturing and eventually killing them. When she returned from the trip she had a new outlook on club life and wanted to take things more seriously.
A few days later, she broke up with Fraser and discussed the idea of adding a "No Dating" rule within the club to the Chaplain Eden Madchen. She bought her own house in Paleto and continued to try to get more involved in the weed game. 
The club had received word that Billy Mang, who had been missing, had been spotted in Grapeseed. The club set out on a search party to find him. After searching nearly the whole city , they found Billy at Grandmas and got him to the hospital. He was heavily injured and the club worried for his safety, even within the "safety" of the hospital. A few days after his surgery, Billy requested - through written notes as his injuries left him unable to speak - that he leave the hospital with Mayhem. They club requested to take Billy outside for fresh air and proceeded to rush him to the car and back up to Paleto.
Billy stayed at Jade's house while he recovered. He did, however, make himself a bit too "at home" and spent several thousand dollars on... furniture (think twerking statue) using Jade's credit card. Jade couldn't be around often so she let Billy have control of her house until he felt stronger, choosing to stay in her motel room instead. 
Around Christmas, Jade and a few members of the club were hassling the Paleto Sheriffs Department - knocking on the doors until someone came downstairs to talk to them. The suspect they had arrested was being released and Mayhem were, well, giving them the Mayhem treatment. The individual, unfortunately, had a bat and hit Jade over the head. Her skull split and she was rushed to the hospital by her family. She had major brain damage and needed emergency surgery. Her hair was shaved and she had to stay in the ICU and when she woke up she had lost some of her memories. She spent a lot of time in her motel room while recovering. 
Jade decided to head home after Christmas and wasn't sure she would be returning to Los Santos or Paleto. She mailed her kutte to Mayhem VP Mattias Nilson along with a letter thanking him and the whole of Mayhem for giving her a family. She flew home and reunited with her Jackals family.
About 6 months later, Jade flew back to Los Santos. She mostly explored the city and tried to reconnect with old friends Occasionally boosting and causing a bit of chaos. She connected with her old friend, Brodee McPatterson, and discussed what they wish for their future. A crew of their own? 
A few weeks later, the government began to crumble under the pressure caused by the Sanguine War. Jade rushed to the airport and flew home and settled in with her Jackals family once again.
