## Personality

Jace is very chill and casual. She isn't the smartest or the most curious, as she doesn't understand most complex concepts and often doesn't question things around her. Though she is socially aware and often judges those who are not considered "normal." She is very cynical and does not easily forgive others, as she frequently thinks that missions are going to go wrong, and blames Mr. Parker for a lot of the missions going wrong.

## Physical Description

Jace is a short Vietnamese girl standing at 5'0". She is strong and has visible muscles. She has dark brown eyes and long black hair that is usually pulled up in a high ponytail with a pink or orange scrunchie.

She wears fairly trendy clothes that are usually more revealing that the average middle-schooler wears. It's a wonder she gets away with the dress code. She wears colors that tend to lean to the warmer side of things.

## History

### Early Life

Jace was family friends with Forget-Me-Not, and the two met when Jace was only 1. The two grew up together and were close friends up until middle school. Jace found Synth when she was around 10 years old hanging out in a forest.

In middle school Jace grew apart from her family, developing more of an attitude and becoming more rebellious. 3 months before the end of her 7th-grade year she suddenly moved, without telling anyone.

Jace moved to Aprilside mid-July under the guise that "her dad got a promotion" though this is not true. The real circumstances under her sudden move are unknown. Her mom gave her Nephele as a sort of babysitter to watch over her and made sure Synth stayed in the house.

### Present

Jace is currently living in Aprilside, where she joined the cheer team and the PSA club. She hangs out with the people in her cheer team, the kids in the PSA club, and a few others that are associated with the PSA club.

She recently found out through a picture found in Kieu's room that she is cousins with Tobi Dinh.
