== Charactah Account ==
Jade is often used to serve as an antagonist to Tori Vega on the show, but they are still members of the same friend group. She is one of Cat's best friends, Tori’s friend and former frenemy and Beck's girlfriend.
Jade has a very prickly personality; she is known for being sassy, tough, dark, grouchy, and sarcastic to those around her. She was described as "freaky" by the boy in Ice Cream for Ke$ha, to which she took offense to, but when she was described as "weird" by Moose in Three Girls and a Moose, she acknowledged and admitted it, nodding along. Jade is obsessed with scissors, as evidenced by her Slap username of "ScissorLuv", as well as her locker being decorated with numerous scissors. Her favorite movie is The Scissoring. She even has a favorite pair as shown in her videos on TheSlap and is known to buy herself new pairs.
Jade seems to have a sadistic personality, taking a great interest in watching people get hurt and often pokes fun at other's misfortunes. She has a macabre sense of humor, usually saying things about people being hit by a bus at various episodes, as well as somewhat sadistic tendencies, such as enjoying people getting hurt, even her own boyfriend being slapped.

== Trivia ==
* Besides Tori and Andre, Jade has also sang on the show. She had one solo performance and duets with Tori and Cat.
* Jade loves the sound of breaking glass.
* Jade has the words "ENNUI" and "REVENGE" on the walls of her room.
* Jade has broken the law many times, but hasn't gotten into trouble, such as in Sleepover at Sikowitz's and Tori Gets Stuck.
* Jade's locker is next to Robbie's locker.
* Jade and Tori are the only girls to have colored highlights.
* Jade also sometimes mixes her highlights (Purple and Blue on Pilot and iParty with Victorious, Green and Blue in Season 2).
* Jade is the only person to have a lot of dislikes (as mentioned on The Wood).
* Jade is friends with all the main characters, except for Trina. That said, she seems the least liked of the group.
* Jade has a black purse made out of monkey fur (Freak the Freak Out). She also has a large black purse (The Worst Couple), (André's Horrible Girl) and a smaller leather black one that also has silver studs (Three Girls and a Moose). Her backpack for school is a Gears of War bag.
* Jade is possibly a masochist, as she was disappointed that the feet smoothing wouldn't hurt her, wanted Tori to slap her with a sausage (Cat's New Boyfriend), said she would love it if she exploded (Survival of the Hottest), and was disappointed that getting a haircut didn't hurt (post from TheSlap.com). She has posted "This is a crisis. My day's completely ruined. Just found out that song 'Killing Me Softly' is actually a really sweet song." (on TheSlap.com). Also, in Ice Cream for Ke$ha, she said "This is actually causing me pain, and not the good kind."
* Jade likes blood, as seen in Freak the Freak Out; Cat asked Tori what was on her arm, and when Tori said it was Trina's mouth blood, Jade said, "Cool," with fascination. Also, in Tori Gets Stuck Jade says to take a lot of blood from Tori and send whatever they don't use to her house.
* Jade was called a "gank" three times in the episode "Freak the Freak Out" and was called it by Sikowitz in Tori Gets Stuck by Tori, André, and Sikowitz. According to Beck, such an insult actually downplays how awful Jade is.
* According to The Wood, it is shown that Jade (and Tori) know[s] how to speak and sing the song "Forever Baby" in Spanish when she and Tori push Festus home in a wheelbarrow.
* According to Jade Dumps Beck, Jade's favorite tropical fruit is the mango.
* Jade appears to have a liking for butterflies, based on the fact that she has a collection of dead butterflies in her room and has been shown to have a black notebook with pink butterflies on it. However, these could also be moths, which are thought to be much more dark than butterflies, as they are nocturnal and occasionally an omen of bad luck, which would fit much more with her personality.
* Jade loves to drink coffee and drinks it black with two sugars. She is often seen holding a cup of it at the beginning of an episode. Jade says she loves coffee so much that she wants to marry a man that is "like coffee", in her What I Love video on TheSlap.com.
* In Wok Star, Jade shows a nice, respectful attitude towards Mrs. Lee until she tries to change Jade's play and ideas. This shows Jade can be completely hostile-free towards people until they tick her off. That said, this appears more derived from Mrs. Lee funding her play as, in many other episodes, she flew into rages at completely innocent statements from people outside the gang.
* Jade likes scaring babies (mentioned in Tori Gets Stuck).
* Jade hates birthdays, except her own.
* Jade is a heavy sleeper, as seen in Locked Up!.
* It is mentioned in the TheSlap video "Jade With Tots 2" that her father has a "new wife," making her the only character whose parents are known to be divorced. Going by her Slap posts, it is assumed Jade is a shared custody child as neither of her parents seemed to want her.
* Jade's favorite color is black.
* Jade's favorite kind of music is heavy metal. Her song You Don't Know Me is the only rock song of the whole show.
* In Jade Gets Crushed, Tori shows that Jade likes scary, sad, or tragic movies.
* Jade claims that "beef makes her puke", something backed up by her initially turning down Karaoke Dokie in Three Girls and a Moose.
* According to Jade Dumps Beck, Jade has her driver's license. This was also proven in Freak the Freak Out, The Worst Couple, Car, Rain & Fire, Driving Tori Crazy, Opposite Date, and Three Girls and a Moose.
* Jade dislikes the Sesame Street theme song (Terror on Cupcake Street).
* Jade has a neighbor whose house she eggs every Halloween.
* It can be assumed that Jade lives with her mother at least some of the time, as she says that her mother let Cat into her house (Cat Crashes Jade's House).
* Surprisingly, Jade doesn't seem to mind shopping, However according to Beck, she only likes to try on black clothing. However, she doesn't really like Black Friday.
* Jade is one of the four main characters (with Tori, Robbie, and André) who have never been absent for an episode. Of those four, she usually has the least amount of screentime in episodes, such as in The Birthweek Song and Driving Tori Crazy, with her having only minor roles with no actual impact on the plots of those two episodes. Even Jade Gets Crushed featured her as more of a plot device than as a character.
* In Wi-Fi in the Sky, there is a shot of Jade's laptop. It has a spiderweb with a spider coming down from it as a decal. The wallpaper was a raven.
* Jade used to spend Thanksgiving with Beck and once made his family cry by saying grace before dinner.
* Even though Jade is assumed to be the toughest, she has cried twice on the show; once when Beck would not get back together with her (Jade Dumps Beck), and once when she realized she was sweating for the first time (Survival of the Hottest). She later fake cried in Brain Squeezers but Tori instantly saw through this.
* Jade has some skill in composing song lyrics, as shown in Jade Gets Crushed.
* According to Beck's New Year's Eve status update of 2011, Jade calls New Year's Eve parties "Death of [insert number of the past years] parties".
* Jade doesn't go in the ocean because she is afraid of dolphins, due to a traumatic experience she had in 3rd grade that she refuses to talk about.
* According to a picture on TheSlap, Jade likes older guys, suggesting that she may be younger than Beck.
* According to one of her Slap updates, Jade had to wear a pink dress for a role, and apparently quit because of it, going so far as to burn the dress.
* Jade also does not like having hair cut. For her, it is such a waste of time.
* Jade seems to be rather fond of licorice since she cuts off a pretty long piece of Cat's "bra-candy" for herself whilst not paying much attention to how long the others' (Beck and André) pieces are. In addition she smiles and pleasurably chews on it. In addition she seems to have a sweet tooth in general. As mentioned on the show she drinks her coffee with two sugars Tori offered her a muffin in Car, Rain & Fire, she didn't hesitate in accepting the offer opposing to her usually skeptical personality.
* Out of all the characters, Jade has the third most amount of fans on TheSlap, behind Cat and Tori. She has over a million fans.
* Jade's favorite Hollywood Arts teacher is Sikowitz according to TheSlap. From all indications however, she is not his favorite student.
* In Stage Fighting, a girl who accidentally threw a cup of water at her begged her, "Please don't destroy me socially!" This implies Jade is rather high on the social hierarchy of Hollywood Arts, despite being seen to be hated/feared by the majority of the student body.
* In Survival of the Hottest, Jade claims she doesn't sweat. She sweats for the first time ever when they are all stuck in Beck's RV with a temperature of 110 degrees. She denies it at first, but when Beck yells at her and tells her that she really is sweating, she starts to cry. It is assumed she hadn't sweated knowingly until this incident.
* In Wi-Fi in the Sky, it is shown Jade has several things in jars in her room. One may be the lump of fat she got from a doctor in Rex Dies.
* Jade likes locking herself in the bathroom, turning off the lights, and just sitting there.
* In the What Jade Loves! video, Jade says that she loves bunnies.
* Jade and Robbie appear in the Sam & Cat special The Killer Tuna Jump where she mentions to Cat's grandma that she and Beck are still a couple over a year after Victori-Yes, presumably while in their senior year of high school.
* Jade is the only character to radically alter her appearance between seasons (having gained weight and dyed her hair black starting in Season 2). Though the other girls played around with makeup, they still looked largely the same.
* Despite being a main character, Jade is often cast as an episode's main antagonist (Pilot, Stage Fighting, The Great Ping Pong Scam, Cat's New Boyfriend, Tori Gets Stuck, Prom Wrecker, Opposite Date, and Brain Squeezers) or the one that caused the conflict to occur in the first place (Jade Dumps Beck, Wok Star, The Worst Couple, André's Horrible Girl, The Bad Roommate).
* Though many characters often speak about what a great actress Jade is, she was never given an individual lead role in the whole of the series' run (though she did share the leads with Tori (Tori & Jade's Play Date) and Robbie (Cell Block)). Notably, she was also the only performer that Sofia Michelle felt wasn't even worth the time to look at. Indeed, when she tried to use acting to trick Tori in Brain Squeezers, Tori saw through the ruse instantly.
* Whenever Cat gets off-topic and talks about her brother, Jade has a tendency to give her an object to distract her, such as keys or crayons and a coloring book.
* If someone does something Jade doesn't like, such as physical contact or singing the Sesame Street theme song, she yells "NO!"
* Jade hates aloe vera.
