Jase Emeriinne

Jacinta Annaleigh E. Emeriinne, commonly referred to as Jase, is a resident of Lower Duck Pond.

## Physical description

Jase is a fifteen-year-old girl with a slim, petite build. Her most distinctive feature is her copper, borderline red, hair which reaches down to just below her shoulders, with her left bangs swept aside while her right bangs are left hanging in front of her eyes; whenever she pulls it up into a ponytail, she almost always leaves two strands framing her face. She bears green eyes, freckles on her cheeks, and a pale complexion throughout.

Her outfits mostly consist of any dresses, shirts and pants, and blouses that bear the colour yellow. Her favourite outfit consists of a yellow crocheted cardigan with a light green shirt underneath and khaki pants.

## Background

Since her first day of kindergarten, her parents had always expected only the best from her; while she and her older brother Lars both excelled academically, it was Jase who was truly recognised as a prodigy, having demonstrated proficiency in mathematics. She, along with a team of other students, had represented Westfield Elementary School in multiple competitions, even reaching the international level in fifth grade.

When she turned eleven, she gained an interest in music which her parents seemed to oppose. She was first introduced to the guitar at age five by her uncle, Clifford Davidson Emeriinne, but started truly practising it in the few months before she entered middle school. As her uncle wasn't able to visit as much as he used to since he had to manage a thrash metal band he fronts, Lars has since stepped in as her mentor, despite the latter being more proficient in bass. They continued to play out of sight--and out of earshot--of their parents as much as possible.

The gradual disappearance of their parents from the siblings' daily lives started becoming more evident to her by the time she turned twelve. The combined anxiety of realising that she and Lars would practically be living all by themselves, suddenly learning that her then-only friend Taylor Pollux would be studying in a different school, and juggling a jampacked academic schedule led her to become even more withdrawn than she was prior to all this. This brief phase started to slough away when she joined a Battle of the Bands event in Hydroelectric City as the lead guitarist in a band with Lars and two of his friends, in which they landed first runner-up.

She has yet to fully grow out of this phase, however; at this point, she's uncertain whether she should still continue to refer to it as her "rebel phase" or not. As of late, she's resorted to busying herself with studies, her duties as the vice president of a small music club in Richland High School, and the occasional mischievous escapades with Lars and Taylor (both always seemed to take the lead in persuading her to come with, though).

## Personality

Although reserved, preferring to stay by the sidelines if she could, Jase still makes an effort to socialize with people if only a little bit. With her brother and the very few close friends she has, however, she tends to show a more extroverted side; she becomes a bit more talkative, sometimes even attempting to crack jokes that often fall flat, which she doesn't mind. She carries a warm and gentle aura with her everywhere she goes.
