Character Name: Jade Harley
Character Series: Homestuck
Character Age: 13
Background: MSPA Wiki
Personality: At first glance, Jade is a bubbly, sillier than usual 13 year old girl with a knack for making friends and being enthusiastic. She is typically cheerful and supportive, optimistic even in dire situations. She is more naive than even your typical 13 year old, having spent most of her life alone, with only her dog-guardian Bec for company. Most of her life has been very sheltered, growing up on an isolated island, with her computer and the internet being her only connection to the rest of the world. There haven't been people in her life to teach her the danger that can come with trusting others, so she is likely to lend someone her trust with little prompting. This doesn't mean that her trust is easy to keep, and her bad side is one that you don't want to be on. When it comes to dealing with someone she doesn't like, Jade's usual response is to just ignore them. If ignoring them doesn't work, flipping the fuck out at them is also a viable option. Her personality does a 180 in her frustration. Jade doesn't respond particularly well to weepy pessimism either, and if words fail, slapping you to your senses is always an option. Jade doesn't have high tolerance for harassment, and is far easier to win her over with the same kindness that she will inevitably show you.
In some ways, Jade lags behind her friends in maturity, largely in part to her upbringing. She loves Squiddles and anthropomorphic fauna, but also has a fondness for nuclear physics and horticulture. Her intelligence is not hampered by her maturity, it just changes the way she expresses it. Despite being less mature than her friends, Jade is not lacking in the bravery department. She'll do just about anything to protect her friends, including being crushed by a moon for them. She also engages in battle with Bec Noir with little hesitation, despite generally being a pacifist. Jade knows that sometimes there's no option but to fight, and when that time comes she puts everything she has into it. This can sometimes backfire in her becoming a bit careless, accidentally harming her friends despite her attempts to protect them.
Jade is a very eccentric girl, even without her odd interests. She has spent a lot of time dealing with problems of narcolepsy, which have caused her to almost spend more time asleep than awake. These narcoleptic attacks allowed her to live through her dream self (as well as her dream bot, which allowed her to keep in touch in the "real" world, until both were destroyed) and she witnessed events of the past, present and future while in her dreams. Spending so much time with her head literally in the clouds has played a large part in her personality as we know it. This knowledge makes her sometimes seem sometimes cryptic or prophetic, and has given her something of an advantage without even participating in the game. She is shown to be very resourceful, using this knowledge to maintain stable time loops as well as implement some tricky time shenanigans. In addition to being resourceful Jade is the sort to always be prepared, when others might think they're okay with just one computer, Jade suits up with five of them, to make sure that she'll always have a way to keep in contact with her friends. Although she has an uncanny knack for memory games, her actual memory isn't so great, causing her to keep an assortment of colorful reminders on her fingers so that she can keep things straight.
All the unusual events in her life have taught her to adapt easily to new, strange situations. She shares her Grandpa's love of adventure, and especially eager to do something with her friends. Jade falls pretty clearly into the role of a support character, orchestrating events to help her friends succeed while paying less attention to her own advancement. This is a role that she's quite happy to fill, preferring to support and encourage her friends than be the big damn hero herself. She believes in her friends and their abilities, and does everything she can to keep morale up and things moving smoothly, all while being upbeat and a little silly! :)
Abilities: Jade doesn't have any super human abilities. :'(
