She has thick black hair and gray eyes, as well as olive-colored skin due to her Vietnamese heritage, on her mother's side. She has proved to be very flexible in her time working as an assassin for the League of Shadows, and her fighting skills are enough to match the fighting ability of one with superpowers.The outfit she uses whilst working for the League of Shadows is a dark green colored kimono, and appears as though it has shreds and rips along it.

Cheshire also wears black knee-high boots.A trademark of her appearance is a white mask, resembling a cat's head with red stripes and a wide grin, in reference to the Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, hence her name. dark brown eyes.

Personality: Personality: She comes across as confident, poised, and almost impossible to rattle, always thinking several steps ahead. A master assassin, she trusts her own abilities above anyone else's and values efficiency over sentiment. Fiercely independent to a fault, she is pragmatic, manipulative when necessary, and comfortable using deception to achieve her goals. Jade kills without hesitation if it serves her objective, but she doesn't seek unnecessary bloodshed. She has a dry, sardonic sense of humor, treating her opponents like a cat toying with a mouse, enjoying subtle taunts and playful banter. She has a true killer's instinct and even enjoys the prospect of killing, yet remains disciplined, following her employers' orders to the letter.

Beneath her composed exterior, however, Jade is emotionally guarded, detached. She carries deep self-loathing and overwhelming guilt, believing she doesn't deserve happiness and quietly resigning herself to a life of suffering. Cynical, bitter, defensive, and painfully lonely, she pushes others away before they can get close. Despite this, she is fiercely protective of the people she loves. Though she rarely shows it, she cares deeply in her own quiet way, hiding her compassion behind cold pragmatism and convincing herself that distance is the only way to keep others safe.
