David Jones

* AJS Version
* CC Original

**David Jeremiah Jones** is one of the three secondary protagonists of the Adelaine Jones Saga, alongside his wife Alessia Jones and his daughter's Adelaine's boyfriend, Hugh Anderson.

Coming from a police background, Jones lost an eye and nearly died due to a work accident in 2000, though would recover and become a retired detective, albeit he still helps the Police Department from time to time. He eventually got married to Alessia Jones in 2003, and two years later had his first daughter Adelaine. 12 years later, he and Alessia would have a second daughter named Diana. Jones is beloved by many in Grimsborough due to his longstanding service at the GPD, along with his bravery during the Y2K Crisis.

## Profile

52 years of age, Jones has brown spikey hair with a clear forehead. He has blue eyes and a trim beard, and wears an eyepatch on his left eye after he was permanently blinded from the Y2K Incident two decades prior. Jones is quite a muscular person, having kept up his muscle training even after he retired from the GPD's frontline duties. He is also above-average in height at 5'8".

Jones often wears his police jackets that he had from his frontline GPD Days, though when off-duty, he wears a variety of clothes, most often paired with jeans.

## Personality

Jones is a family man who treasures his time with his family. In many of the episodes, Jones is shown to be attentive to his family, especially towards his two daughters Adelaine and Diana, as well as his wife Alessia. This is most likely due to the tragedies he faced in the past, resulting in him always trying to give his family his best. Jones' devotion and often overprotectiveness to his daughters has often led to some friction between him and his daughter Adelaine, as he initially disapproved her relationship to Hugh Anderson. This was eventually resolved in My Little Rose, and later disappeared with Hugh moving into the Jones' household from the fallout of his mother's death.

Jones is also quite an angry man, and one who could be quite easily triggered, particularly if harm came to his family, especially Adelaine. In The Election Game, Jones became furious after hearing that Matthew Baldwin punched his daughter, nearly causing him to punch Matthew and his father Jack back, though Alex held him back to avoid a fight in the principal's office. Despite this, he doesn't seem to have a grudge towards Kelsey Griffs after she moved into the Jones' household despite of her actions from two years prior, likely due to her redemption and eventual adoption. He's also shown to still have a good relationship with his former colleagues, even though he has been retired for over 20 years at this point.
