Jade grew up as a prim and proper girl with brown hair and blue-green eyes. When she turned sixteen, her parents decided they wanted to move to Europe, but Jade rebelled against the change so much they let her stay in the States with her uncle, Douglas. She abandoned her proper upbringing and joined Spur Harbor thinking the job would be practical computer work. However, she had no idea of the dangers she would soon get into. After those dangers presented themselves, she ended up loving field work more so than her technological job.

An outgoing and feisty young woman, Jade quickly loses her temper over the tiniest things. She enjoys computers, guns, the color turquoise, swimming, and mild chaos. She is also incredibly superstitious ... she keeps a lucky rubber duck and rabbit's foot, refuses to walk under ladders, and would rather die if she ever broke a mirror. The only exception to this is her love of black cats. Instead of fearing them, she believes befriending them is a daring display and is almost like staring fear in the mouth. Because of this, she owns a black cat she has named Otto.

Jade also hates a lot of things, most notably, her fear of physical pain. A simple scratch to the normal person is reason for Jade to go into a tizzy. However, Jade has undergone extreme pain of two tattoos as homage to her fellow comrades—a peacock feather that spans diagonally across her back for Ize, and a black fishbone on her upper left arm for Trent. Other than pain, she is also impartial to dogs, coffee, vegetables, being told what to do, and of course ... bad karma.

As a member of the Cove Assemblage under Spur Harbor, Jade not only handles a gun to use in the field. She's one of the organization's main hackers and manages most of the technological work. She holds the rank of third in command aboard the Cove's watercraft, the Aquamarina.

She wields a Glock 19 semi-automatic with an Egyptian-styled black cat image etched in a turquoise stone inlay on the grip, a present from Ize. Her codename is "Peacock," the name Ize jokingly called her when she first saw her; she absolutely hates it but has learned to live with it. She much prefers the name given to her by civilians who have heard of her wrath, "The Green Demon."
