## History

Jazz is Danny's older, sixteen-year-old sister who used to be very close to him during their earlier childhoods. As time passed however, their relationship became somewhat strained as Jazz became more overbearing and overprotective of him. Prior to learning of his secret identity, Jazz attempted to serve as a role model and paternal guide for her Danny, having been worried that their parents’ obsession with ghosts was a bad influence for him. Despite her good intentions however, she didn’t realize that she was smothering him, causing their relationship to become even more strained. While Danny did indeed still love his sister very much, he felt he could no longer open up to her due to her overbearing attitude. Further keeping him at odds with her was his secret identity, as he feared that she and their parents would no longer accept him if they found out the truth about his ghost powers.

During a ghost attack, Jazz saw him transform into Danny Phantom though he did not realize this. Despite initially being shocked by Danny’s transformation, she decided to let him chose when he is ready to tell her. This shows that despite realizing that Danny was half-ghost, she didn’t resent him as he had feared before, still loving her brother unconditionally. She also understood his reasons for keeping his powers a secret having seen how xenophobic their parents were towards ghosts.

For a long time, Jazz would often cover for her brother whenever he disappeared to fight ghosts and kept their parents from wondering where he went. During this time, she also occasionally saved his life. Jazz also came to realize that her younger brother was growing into the confident young mane and true hero. This caused her to become very proud of her brother and no longer treated him as a child in need, but as the young man he had become. This healed their strained relationship, allowing them to be close again.

During the battle with Dark Danny, Jazz finally revealed that she knew her brother’s secret and thus she would go one to join his ghost fighting team, Team Phantom, along with Sam and Tucker, though she usually served as a reserve member. By the time of the Disasteroid incident, their bond had no only been fully repaired, but also stronger than ever before. When Jazz believed Danny to have been killed in a plane crash during the crisis, Jazz was heartbroken over his supposed death and tearfully revealed the truth to their parents. She was later overjoyed to discover he survived and saved the world from the meteorite.

Jazz continues to support her brother in the years following the Disasteroid Crisis. By the time of Danny’s college years, he is constantly harassed and followed by fans and paparazzi, causing him to have little to no privacy or alone time. This caused Jazz to step in as Danny’s handler, managing all his social media and fan activity, as well as protecting him from crowds of fans. She also does her best to help him they and Sam time to themselves, knowing how much the constant attention has impaired their relationship. By the age of 26, Jazz continues to fight alongside her brother as a member of Team Phantom
