‎‧₊˚✧Jade Harley✧˚₊‧‎

jade has green eyes, tan skin, freckles, curly white and brown hair, and white dog ears. she wears circular glasses and hippie-style clothes. such as long skirts and baggy shirts

Jade has a very quirky personality, and often dozes off to sleep, then wakes up without any recollection of ever falling asleep. This is at least in part due to Vriska's frequent use of her powers on JadeHS, causing her to fall asleep. She is completely unaware of her narcolepsy, possibly never sleeping by her own choice, and only makes it into bed with Bec's help. She is forgetful and wears COLORFUL REMINDERS on her fingers. She has been seen with a flute which she plays, though in a very silly and bad manner. She is, however, an expert on the Eclectic Bass. She has an interest in older cartoons, the Furry fandom, Nuclear physics, and high-tech gadgetry, and she is a skilled riflewoman (though perplexingly, she alchemizes a Saiga shotgun).

She has repeatedly proven herself to be very brave and resourceful. She cares deeply about her friends and pushed John's dream self out of the way of Prospit's Moon when it was crashing on the surface of Skaia. She values the ability to act in a crisis, as well as the ability to rise above her despair when others are counting on her. She becomes very frustrated when she, or some version of herself is unable or willing to help in a time of need. Despite her generally positive and plucky demeanor, she has been shown to be impatient and rather insensitive when it comes to handling the emotions of others when they are being particularly difficult. Notable examples are Karkat, Jadesprite (though this was largely due to her disappointment in herself), John on his 15th birthday (HS - HS), and Dave when trying to force him to face Lord English.

Jade, like several other characters, has her own unique loading screen for flash animations about her, featuring a slowly spinning mechanical flower and her silly green font. However, during her Strife with her Grandpa, this is replaced with a second loading screen featuring a portrait of her dream self hanging over a purple and yellow fireplace mantle.

Jade's title is the Witch of Space, which is very appropriate, considering her pet Bec's (and later, her own) ability to warp space at will. Befitting her title, she appears to be very knowledgeable about physics, casually talking to John about relativity, frames of reference, and the physical laws of different universes. This knowledge could have been enhanced or granted to her by her ascension to her god tier form, which merged her with Becquerel and Jadesprite.

Jade heading home Jade is very enthusiastic!!!

Jade lives on a strange island with her Grandpa, despite him being dead. Jade's house is a giant tower next to the volcano on her island, which was discovered by Grandpa. It is filled with high-tech gadgets that appear to have somehow originated from Prospit. Living in isolation like this would explain her lack of pop-cultural knowledge and enthusiasm. In the real world, Google Maps indeed shows an underwater feature of approximately 15 by 25km, in the general area of Winslow Reef, Pheonix Islands, Kiribati in the South Pacific. The structure is peculiarly rectangular and compass-aligned, and could possibly represent some kind of mapping or data error.

Jade owns a Dreambot, one of the first Robots to appear in the comics. She used it frequently to interact with her friends while still asleep.

Jade's Fetch modus is not data structure-based like the other kids'. Instead, she opts for Modi based on children's games like Pictionary and Memory. She has an uncanny knack for guessing the cards on the Memory Modus correctly on her first try. Her Strife Specibus is riflekind; she is a skilled markswoman with a supply of firearms that her Grandpa insists she carry with her when leaving the house.

Unique among the chums, Jade is evidently not a gamer. She has been shown to have a very excitable personality and she loves to plaster her pesterings with a large number of exclamation points and emoticons. Jade has Pesterchum Enamel, a version of Pesterchum which advertises itself as being much shinier! Along with having the chumhandles of John, Dave, and Rose, she also has a Trollslum with all of the trolls, despite at least two of them refusing to ever troll any of the kids.

After ascending to the god tiers and subsuming Jadesprite she inherited the dog traits from Jadesprite which she in turn had inherited from Becquerel, as well as inheriting their sprite and first guardian powers later discussed and demonstrated in-comic (HS, HS). These traits include a dog's instincts such as chasing and barking at cats, as Jade did to Jaspersprite.

It's implied that among Jade's darkest desires was to confront Dave about the flaws that she perceived him to have, and even though she was mind-controlled by the Condesce at the time, she still felt apologetic about the whole incident.

Relationships Becquerel Jade planets Jade captchaloging The Battlefield, LOWAS, LOHAC, LOLAR, and LOFAF.

Jade's pet is her guardian and the first guardian of Earth. Dave describes him as a fucking devilbeast that should be [taken] out behind the woodshed [where Jade should] blow its head off. Jade says she couldn't accomplish such a task if she tried; her cross-hairs would never settle on an innocent creature, ANTHROPOMORPHICALLY PERSUADED OR OTHERWISEHS. She attempts to shoot him during their Strife, but Bec's reality-warping powers make it impossible for Jade to inflict any actual harm upon him. It seems she is simply playing with him in any case, as it ends with her having him fetch a bullet from mid-air.

In order to save Jade from her impending meteor, Bec leaped into Jade's kernel and became her sprite before heading off into the sky to destroy the meteor and helping Jade's bullet reach the Bec-shaped piñata by bending space. The consequences of a first guardian becoming a first-tier prototyped sprite immediately transformed Jack Noir into an indestructible demon. This has had horrible consequences on some of the Underlings.

Grandpa Not much is elaborated on Jade's relationship with her ectobiological forebearer. She describes him as intense and avoids bumping into him for fear of being subjected to another of his stern lectures, although Jade is likely being silly about them due his being long dead. After his sudden death, Jade believed that one of his dolls had killed him, before realizing how silly that was and considering the possibility of suicide. Grandpa was implied to be somewhat negligent as a grand-parental figure, due to him brazenly allowing a young Jade to play with gunsHS. When her dream self died, her grandfather tearily took her home through time shenanigans to be stuffed, according to family tradition.

Dave Strider Jade's relationship with Dave is not confirmed to be anything other than platonic. Karkat's shipping chart showed that the two would end up marrying, and Jade, along with the three other kids, responded to the chart with sarcasm. It was eventually revealed that Jade and Davesprite had been dating, but have since broken up, causing for her to harbor some hostility towards the alpha-timeline Dave. The two appear to be on better terms post-retcon and rule the Troll kingdom together along with Karkat and Terezi after settling down in Earth C.

Davesprite/Davepetasprite^2 During the three year journey through the Yellow Yard, Jade and Davesprite started dating, likely due to Davesprite and Jadesprite's brief relationship prior to her fusion with Jade when she ascended. The two eventually break upHS due to Davesprite's apparent emotional issues, leading Jade to become resentful of both Davesprite and alpha Dave. Following the events of the retcon, when Davesprite is accidentally prototyped with Nepetasprite, Davepetasprite^2 is formed. Later Davepetasprite^2 runs into a post-retcon Jade near the Green Sun. After discussing their relationship with Jade's pre-retcon self and Jade's lonely time on the battleship, Davepeta says their goodbyes to Jade with a kiss, before stabbing the sleeping Jade awake.

Karkat Vantas Jade's interactions with Karkat started off as being extremely negative, with both of them hating the other, Jade due to Karkat's long-standing harassment and Karkat due to him blaming Jade for ruining the session and ruining his. After Jade loses her dreamself, she is pulled into a memo with a Karkat from the past (still hostile towards Jade) and another from the future (who had already apologized to Jade)HS. The interaction between the two Karkats was so upsetting to Jade that she finally loses her patience tells both Karkats off. After Jade enters the session, Karkat finally apologizes to Jade, and their relationship significantly improves from there, with Karkat becoming Jade's patron troll.

After the two reconcile, Karkat appears to have become fond of Jade, and possibly harbors red feelings for her. Kanaya states that this is due to Jade giving Karkat a reason to be angry. During Openbound, Karkat alludes to his interactions with Jade with his password for his door.

Jade's experience in the memo with Karkat leads her to avoid using memos altogether and set up a password system to avoid any similar trans-timeline squabbles and paradoxes while interacting with the trolls. This system becomes instrumental in the formulation of a plan that allowed Jade to escape the Scratch.

The two appear to be on better terms post-retcon and rule the Troll kingdom together along with Dave and Terezi after settling down in Earth C.

John Egbert John and Jade are generally good friends, both being very friendly and silly. They formed a sibling relationship during the 3-year journey on the Battleship, though it becomes slightly strained due to John going off the handle during his 15th birthday (HS - HS). After the retcons, the three-year journey through the Yellow Yard is significantly different for Jade, as her versions of John and Davesprite were killed when LOWAS exploded, leaving her alone for the duration of those three years. The two finally reunite after the events of [S] Collide.

Rose Lalonde Rose and Jade are generally good friends, having bonded at a young age over squiddles.

Jake English Jade spent many years exchanging letters with the alternate version of her Grandpa, believing him to be her grandson (which, from Jake's perspective, is accurate). The two work together to build a robotic rabbit for John, which becomes instrumental to many events in Jade's session. After finally arriving in the B2 session, Jade greets Jake and Jane after saving them from a Lrd English-ified Jack Noir, before becoming mind-controlled by The Condesce. While grimbark, Jade was notably more hostile towards Jake, treating him like an imbecile.

Other Characters Jade enjoys talking to Kanaya Maryam because of their shared roles as Heroes of Space. She is not fond of Eridan Ampora at all.

She turned down Tavros' romantic advances, stating that he seems nice but that they hardly know each other. She was generally upset with him when she discovered he was responsible for her Grandpa's death, but quickly forgives him after realizing how the whole situation was a sad misunderstanding.

In Act 6 Act 6 Jade has become friends with Jane, both while they were both corrupt and in dream bubble conversations with Calliope, who she has also befriended.

The post-retcon version of Jade also befriended Alternate Calliope, finding solace in her company and stories during her long lonely journey through the Yellow Yard.
