Jaden Colchis is a 2023-introduced and all-around/fiction-only character. He is the son of Jason, leader of The Argonauts, Prince of Thessaly and Medea, the Princess of Colchis, Priestess of Hecate, and Sorceress of Poison, from Greek Mythology, and currently attends Ever After High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, he is on the Rebel Side, since he doesn't want to be like his parents.

## Character

### **Personality**

Jaden Clochis is seemingly laid back and quite uninterested in other people's problems; trapped in his own little world. That is, until you decide to venture deeper. It may not be obvious, but he constantly worries and doubts himself, masking his true emotions with a mask of confidence and 'manly' behavior that was deeply ingrained in him by his culture. He is greatly protective of the people he loves and has dedicated himself to make them the happiest and safest possible, even though he sometimes might go overboard. He likes being bold and standing out, truly not caring for strangers' opinions of him as long as the ones he is closest with still like him. Jaden's biggest pride is that he doesn't judge anybody by their appearance or destiny, (as he often is) and will accept his friends' likes and dislikes even if he doesn't completely agree with them. Jaden also has a knack for not asking help for anything and has a hard time admitting he can't do something himself, thinking that would make him appear weak. He also deeply dislikes any kind of discrimination against villainous destinies, but as someone who has already signed the storybook before the rebel movement, doesn't feel he is entitled to give his opinion about this topic openly. Jaden has often been described as ‘butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth’. That’s literally how charming he is. He puts the 'charm' in 'charming'. He has always presented himself as the epitome of a perfect, good-natured hero, having the good grades and being absolutely chivalrous, the one whom every princess (or prince) would swoon for. His heroic qualities shine through with his actions in everyday life, making him appear to be selfless, virtuous and all in all, an amazing person. He’s seen as kind-hearted and considerate, even towards his rowdy and active distant cousins and friends. It seems to be a fact that most of his friends are extroverted, and Jaden himself is no exception. He is highly sociable because sociability is something one needs in order to dominate the popularity ladder and as such, claims his position as a top dog in Ever After High's metaphorical social caste system. He views school as the absolute perfect place to build connections and networks frequently. Fitting perfectly into popular jock stereotypes, it is undeniable that he is athletic and sporty. Additionally, Jaden is a good team player, engaging well with the people he hangs out with or works with. He makes an effort to understand them in order to maximize the best possible outcomes that could occur from partaking in activities with them, for instance, football (strategic placement and utility of each person's strengths) or big term group projects (ensuring everyone has the adequate but diverse sets of talent required to fulfill the many tasks delegated by most likely him). He is confident and assertive, clear-sighted about what he wants, having a strong sense of self-identity and self-worth. Jaden has a calm demeanor. In front of annoying people or alarming situations, he is able to maintain his cool. It’s rare for anything to unnerve him or get on his nerves, though this might be attributed to him having the mindset that nothing in life should surprise him, because he finds the need to always look prepared for anything, showing no flaws or weaknesses to his character. He adheres so strictly to conventional masculine stereotypes that so many contrasts can be drawn between him and his cousin.

It could also be said that he usually exhibits calmness because he constantly believes that he is able to take control in every situation and sees everybody else as just people under his jurisdiction, likely feeling contempt towards them (but not showing it physically, in typical Jaden fashion). He has the sort of cool level-headedness that allows him to make rather rational decisions that appear to be for the good of the majority, which basically proves to everyone that he has good leadership qualities. When he speaks, it is with a passive yet authoritative and a rather imposing air, which many are obliged to comply with. His voice is basically a voice that enthralls you to listen, which may be a reason why so many girls are attracted to the confidence he exudes. Towards the large majority of the school, he is courteous and respectful, always looking out for others. He also appears to always be willing to help, though this might be a ploy to meddle in and obtain information of other people’s lives (not like they care though, since they adore and appreciate him). As much as a rosy picture Jaden paints for himself, he constantly humbly brags and plays the ignorant front, because he is intelligent enough to know that people will praise him even more and feed into his ego. It’s reverse psychology really, because Jaden loves what he will probably call in a possible AU villain speech (entirely metaphorical but hey who knows) the three As: adoration, admiration and affirmation of the masses, really living up to his name. He is an ambitious overachiever, who likes to push his limits and enjoys a good challenge. It could be said that he is ruthless in ensuring success in achieving his goals and would go to great lengths to do so. This determination is often seen by many as simply part of his angelic character and would be linked to his drive to do well in all areas of being a ‘good prince’, but it could also foreshadow other, more sinister things. Jaden is also rather calculative, seeking the best solution (for himself) in every situation. More often than not, if he offers or agrees to help people, he seeks something in return, without explicitly telling the other party. However, he still does retain some genuine and sincere morality in him, as expressed in his compassion for less fortunate people, such as beggars in the poorer parts of New Athens or less privileged students at Ever After High (almost bordering on contempt 'this is the right and proper thing for me to do because i am immortal and i should help you'). It still wouldn’t stop him from asking something in return if he gets a chance. Jaden is so overly concerned regarding shaping himself into being the perfect hero that he would feel incomplete without having the merits of being one. He's also terribly narrow-minded and obstinate, coming off as quite bossy at times. While he does listen to others' opinions on certain matters, if he has an idea, his end goal is for his ideas to be chosen (after they have been tweaked accordingly if he finds the feedback favorable). This is mainly because he feels entitled to have the last say in anything (which is actually fine because most people will go with his ideas since they are already happy with the idea that he wants to lead and more often than not, his way is the most strategic way with good outcomes for everyone). He refuses to see reason if he has set his mind on something, so a lot of people are intimidated or just too cowardly to refute him, not necessarily a great thing for his character as it further fuels his self-gotism. He's difficult to handle if he's petty, and that is if the situation manages to escalate to that stage, given that he's always calm and collected, rarely losing his temper. As a result, most people tend to desire pleasing him and ending up in his good books because who knows? They might be the lucky ones he proposes to one day.

### **Appearance**

Jaden is often described as a seventeen year old boy with a very powerful aura to him. Jaden is described with wavy dark blonde hair, dark brown eyes and light skin.
