==Background Information==
Jay Skeeber, born 12/12/1995, was raised in a small, but close-knit community in the Midwest of America. She was taught traditional values in regards to her friends, family, and lifestyle: Cherish those you love, fight hard for what you care about, and put in the work to succeed in life. "Dedication, determination - that'll get you through even the hardest times," is what rings in her ears from her Pops each time she stumbles, or feels overwhelmed. Keep going.
Of course, when she arrived in Los Santos, she felt like she had just been ejected from an airlock, floating through space - being tugged and pulled with wherever it felt like putting her, no matter how much she might try to guide herself. Thankfully though, she wasn't left adrift for too long, when by purely chance she saw an ad in the directory for Dynomite Motorwerks, which was nestled up in Harmony.
==== Dynomite Motorwerks ====
Roman and Valerie were the owners of Dynomite, and took her in after her interview right away. They showed her the ropes, helped her get set up fully - truly made her feel like she was welcome. She thrived under their tutelage, branching out and meeting more people daily. Through this, she often took trips to Burgershot in Sandy Shores for food runs... and thus, she met two people who would become some of the most important people in her life.
Oswin Mikhail, and Vin Petrol were... odd. The first introduction she had to Oswin was him stopping by the mechanic shop after they had briefly met at Burgershot, with him claiming she was his future wife. She enjoyed their company, the wildness of the adventures that they would take her on - becoming fast friends. They would eventually become part of the founding members of Vin's revival of Marbled Polecats MC, a casual, lowkey club where they mostly would just hang out and enjoy each other's company.
However, she quickly found interest in Oswin's career at the Department of Corrections, realizing it could be something she was craving - structure. She felt like she was floating, unsure of what path she was going to take, as she began to dip into the more criminal side of life - stealing bikes, driving fast, and beginning to want more. But he encouraged her efforts if she wanted to give it a try, and once she arrived at the interviews for it, she knew she was sold, if they would have her.
==== The Department of Corrections Era ====
They did, much to her surprise - and she flourished under the tutelage of her Training Officers. She showed she was ready for anything, and to not just sit idly by with the responsibilities given to her, but to take them on and then some. She wanted to make any place she worked at better for everyone involved, to ease the burdens on those that already give so much time. Anything she could do to help - she would.
Her Command would take notice of this, and she would excel through the ranks at a quicker pace than those within the same class as her, becoming particularly fond of her position as a Senior Corrections Officer for some time. She was content here, a place she could directly help those above bring their visions to life, and still maintain a bond with those in the field everyday. She even was able to pursue a relationship and eventual marriage with Oswin during these times, a testament to the happiness she held. Though, through unforeseen circumstances, what was once seeming to be a straightforward and simple path for the Department of Corrections, changed suddenly with two large events.
With the judgement rendered on then Senior Corrections Officer Eveline Maddox's Government Corruption case, and the passing of Sergeant Al Hart, things felt... rocky, to put it lightly. Jay's heart was crushed, as Al held a special place for her in her time training, and guiding her to become a teacher and leader herself. He had always supported her endeavors, and so, a promise was made by Jay. She promised to Al she would not just 'take' his place as the leader of the Bolingbroke Rapid Response Team, but she would work everyday to -earn- it, to make it thrive, and to help his vision become a reality. It is something she holds to herself each day she walks into the prison, and the weight of it is... significant.
But then the day finally came. She completed her tasks to have it operational, and assumed leadership of the BRRT Division. While still small, she felt a part of her heart begin to repair when it was official, feeling like she just might be able to prove to herself she had earned her place. The times following that, however, would change that optimism completely.
==== Dark Times for Jaybird ====
Unfortunately, with the passing of Al, and the weight of her new responsibilities, she would crumble when Oswin would break the news to her about his infidelity. She had been holding on by a thread, grasping at anything to keep her moving forward: "Dedication. Determination. Keep. Going." continued to ring through her ears, but she would be unable to remain stable. Her life felt a disaster, her mood swings extreme and erratic. The only things that got her through this were her friends: Aaron Fussar, AJ, John Palmer, and Sven Wallin. Despite their better judgement, she decided to attempt to reconcile things with Oswin, a feeble attempt to hold on to one of the good things she had in life.
But, as stories such as this go, it would not have a happy ending between the two. It would end with her calling for separation, unable to suppress the lack of trust she had now in him, and they would go their separate ways. During this time, however, she would meet Jon Castle, a man who, while they seemed to butt heads on things quite often, was someone she respected deeply. He was there for her during her lowest times, comforting and guiding her back to her former self, eventually truly unlocking her from the shackles of her former relationship's presence in her mind after some time. They became close, deciding to be exclusive not long after.
This would not make times easy, though. They were like oil and water it seemed, not being able to truly communicate and arguing more than speaking to each other. The good times would make up for it, at first - but then eventually it would seem the bad times would take over. With her stepping up to become Acting Deputy Warden in the absence of the current one due to an LOA, she would become driven and focused on work, and battled with others constantly to try to assert herself. The toll it would have on her relationships would be irreparable, it seemed... but as for if they are truly unable to salvaged, only time can tell that now, as she continues to navigate both her career, and her life in general.
