Description ||
At four foot eleven inches, Jade is tall for her age of eleven years old. Her chest, at hardly a triple A, however, is spot on for her age group. On her head she wears a long, rectangular pink paisley bandana tied in the back in a large, butterfly shaped bow. On this bandana, she wears a pin depicting a friend ball. Beneath this bandana sprouts her crop of brown hair, which fluffs out in a generally uniform pattern. Her skin is a deep tan, as if she were trying to be Ganguro had it not been natural, and matches nicely with her deep green eyes, colored like sea glass. Her outfit consists of a simply tank top in sea green, edged with cream on the top. Below this is her blue, pleated micro-mini that sports two floppy red bows- one on each side. To help with the fact that this skirt is too short to cover her properly, Jade wears a pair of white biker shorts that stop two inches above her knees. For shoes, she wear her favorite pair of sea green galoshes, accented in cream like her shirt.
All in all, Jade is a pretty girl for her age, but in a plain and simply way. Her wide, green eyes point upwards just a bit at the corners and her nose is small and upturned. Though it is a little square, her face is mostly round with a distinct chin. Her limbs are thin and muscled on account of her status as a hardcore athlete. Jade's hands are regular size for an eleven year old, and her fingers are long like a pianist. Her feet sport similar affectations, but since she wears rain boots, it tends to go unnoticed.

Personality ||
Jade is sort of composed of limited extremes. While she is a very energetic girl, she stops just short of being considered high energy and- most of the time- she knows when to calm down and take a seat. Another description of her is that she's a calm girl without a speck of anger in her, though that isn't completely true either. As she considers everyone-poke'mon and people alike- as friends, any sort of abuse or neglect angers her deeply. This tends to be manifested as a short shouting match and, since she doesn't really know how to act in an argument, a challenge to a duel of some sort, said duel usually being in athletics. She is still, however, a very level-headed person with a head for thinking things through. Also, though she considers everyone to be a friend, there are still certain types of people that she just can't seem to bring herself to be completely friendly with, namely sore losers and those who give up without even trying.
Jade has an extreme passion when it comes to sports and a strong sense of duty towards her family. This leads to her often helping out around the house with an attitude of charity, and not of grudging. For this reason, she's developed mediocre talent at simply chores like washing dishes, cleaning, changing diapers- general things needed to keep a hectic household together. She is, however, better at cooking than she is at any other chore and can cook most things so long as she has a recipe to go with it. While this doesn't make her a five star chef, it means she can slap together her favorite snack- flan- anytime she gets in the kitchen. Because she has such a passion for sports, Jade tends to always be challenging herself physically. When she runs laps, she always tries to run one more, and when it's just walking to get somewhere, she wants to get there five minutes faster. While this means she's always ready for any physical trial that comes her way, she has a habit of pushing herself just a little too far. Also, though she does consider herself somewhat girly, her love for things sporty has given her a generally disdain for confining clothes, anything excessively glittery and pretty much any sort of clothing item that gets between her and being able to run a three lap race at any given time. Rainboots, however, are the only exception. While one would think a sports enthusiast would wear the best in running shoes, Jade is too in love with rainboots to wear anything but. At home, she has a sizable collection in a variety of cute prints and- though she dislikes things that glitter- a pair of sparkly silver galoshes.
Though she likes to bake, and adores rain boots, she never asks for any ingredient or pair of shoes her family can't afford. She is very sensitive when it comes to living within her means, and does her best to be self-sufficient so that she doesn't have to ask her family for money. This is why, instead of staying at home in Goldrenrod City to participate in the Poke'thlon regularly, she has chosen to strike out on a journey to beat the Elite Four. It is her hope that her journey will not only fund itself as she picks up money from winning battles, but also help her to afford a long career as a Poke' Athlete. Also, though her mother has been a Coordinator since she was a child, Jade has never really had an interest in Poke'mon contests since she doesn't think they require much work on behalf of the trainer.
Though she aims to be the top Poke' Athlete, that is merely her short term goal. Since she is still a girl, her goal in the long run is to eventually settle town with a sweet guy in a large house with a white picket fence and start a family. In general, Jade believes that as long as she has friendship, she can climb any mountain.
History ||
At the time Jade was born, her mother was still participating in contests at the contest hall in Hearthrome City, Sinnoh. Her father had chosen to settle down there with his wife, and had acquired a job paper pushing at the contest hall. And so, it was in Hearthrome City that Jade was born. For a couple months after Jade was born, everything seemed perfect. Her mother brought in just enough money with her contests to cover the bills that her father couldn't cover with his job as a secretary. This simply lifestyle, however, teetered over the edge into near poverty with a few turns of fate when Jade was almost a year old.
Jade's grandparents had been old when they'd had their son, Jade's father, and even older when they'd had their daughter, Jade's aunt Lacey. Due to their old age, they'd passed away leaving their six-year-old daughter an orphan. At about the same time, the contest hall went through a renovation, becoming the booming business it is today. To do this, they cut jobs that they considered to be unnecessary to the success of the contest hall, and so Jade's father become jobless. In a bit of a pickle, the family packed up and moved from Hearthrome City in Sinnoh region to live in Goldenrod City, Joto region so that they could take care of Lacey. Though continuing to do contests in Sinnoh was still an option, Jade's mother put her job as a coordinator on hold to take care of her two-year-old daughter and seven-year-old niece so that her husband could concentrate full on searching for a job. At this time, though the couple had planned to have two children, they gave up on the idea of having a second. As Jade's mother preferred to put it, she already had two children: Lacey and Jade.
It took two years for Jade's father to finally get a job at the radio station, and by that time the family was in serious debit. Once she turned ten, Lacey starter on her journey to become a poke'mon trainer in hopes of hoarding prize money so that the family could rise back up out of poverty. In less than a year, though, she'd returned home broke and without even a single badge to her name. Feeling that she didn't deserve to be a trainer any more, she set her all her poke'mon free, except for her pint sized skitty. It was quite attached to her, and she to it, and so she kept it with her as a companion. Though Lacey saw herself as a complete failure, Jade's mother took this as a sign that she was now ready to take care of herself and returned to her role as a poke'mon Coordinator in Sinnoh.
Since Jade's mother now spent most of her time working in Sinnoh, Lacey took on the role of raising Jade for the most part. It was at this time that Jade's aunt began studying the art of poke'mon breeding and Jade decided to focus on poke'mon athletics. Using her Delcatty, which was still the size of a regular Skitty, Lacey began a small scale breeding program to sell teacup Skitties as house pets. With Lacey's breeding program, Jade's mother job as a poke'mon Coordinator and her father's job at the radio tower, things were looking up for the family. They had the average income of a family in the middle class. Since they had the money, her parent's decided to enroll Jade as a day student in the local poke'mon school so that when she started her poke'mon journey, she'd have at least some skills under her belt. In the year before she left on her poke'mon journey, Jade finished up her classes at the poke'mon academy as her Aunt expanded her breeding buisness. Now that the family had success, Jade's mother quit coordinating for good to concentrate full time on raising the newest member of their family- Jade's little brother Corie Bell.
Quirks||
Jade does NOT like long walks on the beach. She finds that the sand is hard to run on and makes her ankles hurt. So, while she has no issues with the idea of swimming, she is rather opposed to the idea of spending time at the beach.
