On her best friend/ex-boyfriend's, Theo's seventeenth birthday, she, Theo and her brother Jonas, all travel to a different time period. After traveling to the past, arriving and waking up on a beach in 1718 in St. Lucia, they make an encounter with Blackbeard, one of the most infamous pirates in known history, who was famous for torturing and killing witches. Once he challenged them, he managed to capture and leave with her twin brother, Jonas. Eventually he is tracked down, through a locator spell that Theo casts, with her blood. While getting him back, she accidentally learned to create fireballs out of pure emotion.

After learning how to return to 2023, she and the other protectors are magically summoned into a temple, formally meeting the Council of Avalon, the magical council which magic is enforced. They discover their new identities as the new Protectors, the guardians of the Codex with the job of protecting the timeline. They learn from the council that Theo has inherited his magic from his bloodline.

After being sent on a mission by the Council of Avalon to to future to find an object to amplify the powers of witches, they meet two witches, Elena and Mateo, who are able to help them with his endeavor. Unbeknownst to her, after she left back to her time, Theo discovered that Elena and Mateo are his and her great-great-grandchildren.

After traveling to 45 BC, Jayda encounters one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Death. After being constantly haunted and hounded by Death, she eventually possesses her, in order to kill Theo, although she retains some of Death's memories of magic, and even was able to use her own type of magic, a ancient and dark powerful form of magic, Shadow Magic, which she helped develop when stealing the Shadow Staff. On their way back to 2023, the trio finally discovers Symone, and learn that she's a witch, just like the rest of them, and has gone on multiple of their ventures through time, as she touched the Codex before the trio.

On on of their quests, Jayda and the protectors finally use the Codex in order to venture into the Otherworld, a dimension parallel to the First World, where Theo discovers the truth his mother hid from him. He is from the Otherworld, where his entire family is from, and is of royal lineage and is the rightful heir to the throne of Solaria, the strongest realm of the Otherworld.

Jayda and the Protectors were eventually transported to the year 2009, in New York City by the Codex, and meet their four year old selves and discover they were all aware of witches, and were all apparently witches, making Theo wonder how the twins possessed magic before the Codex bonded to them, and making Jaida question her identity.

Overtime, after going back in time to the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, where the Protectors eventually met Evie West, an ancestor of Jayda and Jonas who helped deliver a baby who was said to become a beacon of hope in the future. This is when the protectors discovered the twins witch nature, and that they are from a prominent family of powerful witches from Africa.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Magic**: After becoming a Protector of The Codex, Jayda was imbued with powerful magical abilities. She discovered that her emotions vastly impact her magic, as the more emotion she put into using magic, the stronger the spell is. Due to being possessed by Death, Jayda was able to retain some of her memories and knowledge, which allowed her to use a small degree of her dark magic and spells. Despite gaining limited magic, she was able to overpower Death, Apocalypse's finest student, through sheer force of will. This also granted her a connection to The Shadowlands, a realm between realms, comprised of pure darkness, devoid of light and the origin of shadow magic. In the future, her power eventually grows to be so great that she is known to become one of the most powerful witches of all time.
	+ **Pyrokinesis**: Jayda discovered she can conjure fireballs with her mind. With instruction from Death, her unofficial master, she learned more control in order to manipulate fire. She accidentally caused water to ignite, causing a vehicle to catch on fire.
	+ **Spellcasting**: Jayda is able to manipulate magic to cast spells and manipulate reality. She was able to cast a telekinesis spell in order to get away from Maximus' view, stating the incantation, *Fara*. She later learned that her magic was growing stronger. She even learned to cast an unlinking spell, in order to unlink and separate Theo from Maximus and untether them from each other.
	+ **Shadowmancy**: Although she had no formal training at first, Jayda finds she possesses a natural talent and specializes in performing shadow magic, something that Death and Malachi both notice. The Council of Avalon warn Jayda that her connection to the Shadowlands could potentially lead her to nothing but pain, yet she is considerably unaffected by her dark magic's influence.
