### Personality

Jade is a tomboy who isn't at all concerned with following trends or fitting in. She always speaks her mind, even if it means she occasionally comes off as abrasive or impatient. More than anything, though, Jade loves to defy expectations. Her specialty at Rainbow High is makeup, but rather than limiting herself to beauty or glamour, she prefers dramatic, theatrical looks that leave people equal parts shock and impressed. Using her makeup skills, she chose to scare two of her new roommates, Violet and Ruby, in lieu of a typical greeting.

Jade had proven herself to be a levelheaded and reasonable person, as seen when she attempted to talk Bella out of sacrificing her future at Rainbow High for a potential internship. Despite her rough exterior, Jade also has a sensitive side- especially when it comes to her work. She's very protective of her work and can take critiques personally. She expresses her emotions openly and can't hide them when she's feeling hurt or frustrated. Fortunately, she doesn't take her frustrations out on her friends. Rather, she saves her anger for those she feels deserve it. Jade also has a somewhat guarded exterior- it seems to take a lot to gain her trust.

## Relationships

### Friends

Out of everyone in her runway group, Jade is shown to be closest to Bella. From the start, the two were close, as shown in *The Gr8 Hairscape,* Bella comforts Jade after she gets upset over criticism from other members of the runway group. Jade even has a nickname for Bella - "B". In *Bella's Night Out*, Jade tries to persuade Bella not to risk expulsion by taking her around the school, and the two of them seem closer than ever. In *Enter Amaya*, Jade runs to try and catch Bella before she leaves the school for good after being expelled. Jade is clearly the most impacted by Bella's departure, being very protective of her and her place at Rainbow High even after she leaves, and frequently keeping in touch with her through texts and video calls.

Jade also seems to be close with Ruby. When Bella is expelled, Ruby comforts Jade. However, in *Bring On Rainbow Cheer*, they briefly fight because Ruby's emblem design doesn't match Jade's visions for hair and makeup.

Though Violet, Poppy, and Skyler previously hurt her feelings by critiquing her makeup designs, Jade forgave them and remains on good terms with them and the rest of her runway group. In fact, she seems very protective of her friends in *Gurlfriend Take Over,* when Colin tries to cheat on Skyler with Ruby. Her disagreements with Violet are sparked again when Violet posts a video of Bella getting expelled, but after getting revenge the two smooth it out once more.

### Other

Jade is on very poor terms with Colin due to him attempting to cheat on Skyler with Ruby. She yells at him and later implies that she is willing to physically fight him.

She also is likely currently not very fond of Lou Wright or Pamela Morten as they were dismissive of her reaction to Bella's expulsion. Likewise, she wasn't very welcoming to Amaya taking Bella's spot. Though she hasn't been outwardly hostile towards Amaya, she remains very protective and defensive of Bella's former spot in the group. However, in *Amaya's Discovery*, Jade apologizes to Amaya and resolves to be kinder to her, she shows appreciation to Amaya's work and she told her that she is now glad for her to be part of the team on Fashion Fates Fiasco.
