Jasper St. Clair

Time presents

Jasper St. Clair
The Dead Jewel

Personality

When she was alive, Jasper was spoilt, arrogant, and selfish. Having had full access to her father's wealth since she was thirteen, she received everything she wanted when she wanted. Considering herself practically royalty, she often treated those around her like peasants and didn't hesitate to walk all over them. She also forced down any empathy, turning a blind eye to her father and his actions in both the past and present in order to survive and continue with her lifestyle. Self described survivor, she would throw anyone under the bus in order to protect herself and her situation. As a consequence, she repressed anything humane and ignores her guilt and shame over her own actions of allowing her father to get away with what he does.
On the other hand, she adored the high life, loving to build up a circle of pawns, especially those with high standing in society and loved the lifestyle she lead, the diamonds, the parties, the men, even the woman. She was known to break hearts, keep lovers for a few weeks before throwing them away for someone new, laughing when they tried to tell her they were in love with her or tried to fight for her.
However, Jasper was quite afraid of death and, therefore, when she was killed, she chose the ghost life as she knew she had a one way ticket to hell. Stuck in ghost form, she's been forced to reevaluate herself and allowed herself to feel the guilt over her own actions but can become quite defensive if ever brought up. She's also become quite lonely, having no one to really turn to which, though it wasn't a problem in her life as she preferred to deal with her problems on her own, has become a bit of an irritation to her now.
Becoming a ghost has put Jasper quite out of place, being ripped away from what she loves and is use to, also slightly despising that her prospects really only consisted on relying on some person and having little control over her own life. However, her pride won't allow her to even consider that maybe she deserves it and that her death just might have been her own fault.

History

Jasper's father was a politician. High ranking, rich, adored by the public, and corrupt. He slept with every person he could get his hands one, regardless of the consent or their marriage. He gambled frequently and skimmed money from the government in order to make up for it and believed, after a while, that he was untouchable, especially with his own ability to bully people into silence. On the other hand, her mother was a small time cook at a local restaurant in Central City, an assistant really that helped the main cook. She had come from Earth and went to CCH growing up. Due to this, she was quite lower class to MW's standards, but she was happy regardless.
Their paths crossed when the mother, Sybil, was brought by the head chef to work at private function for a friend of his. It was a dinner part, with the father, Christian, attended. The host wanted his friend a chance to show his skill in the kitchen and perhaps gain a sponsor from one of the guests. Throughout it, Sybil eventually caught Christian's eye and, after Christian excused himself for the bathroom, the deed was done. Sybil kept her mouth shut afterwards, realising no one would believe her and any prospect of a career would be dismantled.
Nine months later, Jasper was born. The mother kept Christian out of it all, not even telling him that the child was born, though she doubted he would have cared. Still, Sybil loved the child, naming her unconventionally after her older brother who committed suicide two years before. However, Sybil realised her meagre job wasn't going to give Jasper the life that she wanted of her. And so, for a few years, she took cooking classes and degrees on top of the job she already had. Due to this, Jasper, for the first few years of her life, was often left alone. However, when Sybil was home, they adored each other. Sybil, though, brought Jasper up on both Mirrorworld and Earth, learning both the histories and the politics of each world, deeming it appropriate if Jasper were to ever decide to live in a world without her father or whatever reason.
When she was ten, her mother had fallen into debt due to some poor management of funds and faced eviction. Sybil was forced to contact Jasper's father in order to keep Jasper off the streets. She had acquired enough evidence to prove that he was Jasper's father and threatened to go to the public of the child and her birth situation if he didn't. He agreed on one condition: Jasper has nothing to do with Sybil. Not one ounce of contact was allowed. Sybil, though wanting to deny it, saw no other alternative except placing Jasper into a terrible life when she could have a great one. So she agreed.
For the next few years, Jasper struggled to adjust and suffered verbal, and sometimes physical if Jasper ever fought back, abuse under Christian. She was forced to undergo a different kind of education, one that made her as 'proper' and worthy of being related to her father. However, Jasper wasn't stupid and, when she was fifteen, she had stolen enough evidence to, potentially, ruin her father's career and relations. Blackmailing him, she threatened that if he didn't leave her alone and allow her to live her own life (with access to his bank accounts, of course), she'd release it. Agreeing, he still asked that her own mother be kept out of the picture which she agreed to.
However, Jasper was a bit of a sneak. She'd hired a P.I to track down her mother, finding out that she did end up finding success and was one of the chefs at the Treehouse Restaurant. Soon, she became a frequent customer but kept to her word. In the years after, she only ever got glimpses of her mother, contacting her through only small handwritten notes, passed between her and her mother through a waiter, but she never let it go more than that. Partly, her father, the other part, she didn't want her mother to see what she turned out as.
Being enrolled into SPA, Jasper eventually blossomed into a little social butterfly. One with horns and teeth and will stab in your sleep. She gathered a level of connections that made her quite powerful, having dirt on everyone worth knowing, keeping them under her influence. She became a socialite, everyone wanted to know her, be around her and was Queen Bee of the school. Selfish, she didn't care for who she hurt in order to keep her power. This nature eventually drove her to go through Soongi to protect, surprisingly, her father. Her father had made a poor investment and, as it threatened to collapse, would cause him to go broke and, most likely, his job. And Jasper couldn't have that.
What she figured out was that she needed to prevent another business arrangement that rivalled her fathers. The businessman? Kye Hancheol. She'd met his son previously and didn't really have much care for him. She befriended him, making herself seem sweet and innocent, using him to gain access to his father. After ruining the business plan, she left the blame on Soongi's shoulder without a second glance. She didn't really care for him, he was just a pawn.
However, it all changed. She'd arranged for her father to meet her in an apartment complex in Central, wanting to give him the information face to face, in belief someone was tapping their HCs. She could never be too sure. When she reached the apartment she found her father dead with an assassin standing over him. As she saw the face, the assassin was forced to kill her. After her death, she decided to come back as a ghost, aware that her only destination was Hell, really. Maybe, as a ghost, she could make some amends and make it to Heaven.

Relationships

**Sybil Crawley**
To Jasper, her mother is the only person worth living for and her mother is really the only person Jasper loves in the world. For that, she'd do anything to protect her and would hate if her mother found out about Jasper's life.
**Christian St Clair**
Jasper never really cared for Christian, though deep down she resents him, she never allowed herself to acknowledge it. She liked what he offered and she heavily ignored everything he did to get it.
**Kye Soongi**
If she lets herself think about him, she supposed she is guilty but it was necessary, right? On the other hand, Jasper doesn't really think she'll ever see him again and doesn't care for him.
