Jade Underwood has been taught ballet and dancing by both of her parents and had to deal with all of the baggage that came with it for most of her life. It wasn't until recently that she managed to break away from the two of them and move into Brockton Bay. Although with nothing that she could really do other than dancing, she ended up a part time waitress, and still does dancing.

Jade doesn't really like dancing; she doesn't mind it per say as hates the baggage that comes with it. The constant weight watching, dieting, and constant amounts of effort put into her figure in order to remain able to fit into ballet outfits and perform. She instead has a fondness for music, all sorts of music in fact and would love nothing more than to drop dancing in favor of an instrument or some sort of electronic music production.

And for a while her life in Brockton was going swimmingly, considering she had enough money to hire a basic music tutor to teach her how to play an instrument. At least until her parents died, left her with almost no inheritance, and she was forced to take care of her little sister. Now Jade was forced to take care of a young child and didn't have enough money to keep up with the tutor or the music college that she'd been planning on attending.

Continually getting more and more stressed until one night she found her tutor in the process of stealing her music equipment and attacking her sister that she triggered. Jade gained the ability to create hard-light constructs that over time sprout and grow plant life extremely quickly, it takes a minute for a large tree to grow. The best way it can be described is that her hard-light constructs are the base for the plant life that she grows. She's capable of forming trees, barriers, steps, all out of her hard-light and over time plant life will sprout and make it permanent in nature. She can choose to cut it off or if she focuses, speed up the process of growth. But her hard light is vulnerable and easily breaks if attacked or too much force it put on it, which cancels any growth.

Although once the plants are there, they need to be removed normally. She also gained a thinker ability that allows her to extend her senses in a very basic way through plant life. Meaning that she can sort of see and hear through them, but it's muffled and distorted. Jade isn't really sure if she wants anything to do with her power and has been going back and forth with her little sister on whether or not to go to the PRT or keep going on like she is and ignore them completely.
