In every adorable sophomore bird dorm, there must be one awful, awful person.
This is Lyss, and I have taken it upon myself to write this person, and I'm sorry.

So hey you guys, meet

Jade is a 16 year old sophomore Azurcrest, and a pureblood. She comes from like, everywhere. That's part of the problem. Her mother is a Guatemalan diplomat, and her father is a Canadian international trade lawyer based out of Vancouver, so she lives (kind of) in both those places.

Her classes include: Charms, Herbology, Hermeticism, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Aesthetic Magic, Astronomy. She isn't as smart as all that would imply, but works hard and gets solid Bs, at least. She's in Drama (she loves it,) and Duelling/Fencing (for the hexes, because those are handy,) and Event Committee (because it seemed like a good idea.)

Jade grew up having to travel the world with her parents for their stupid jobs. She hated it very much, and was not able to ever really adapt to one place enough to really grow roots there. Gooseberry has been that for her so far.

She attended what felt like countless international magic-student-schools and never made any friends. At first she learned to live with that. But then in middle school. she learned that she had claws. Basically. Jade became rude, eager to express her dominance, fake to fit in, honestly kind of deeply unpleasant. It was her version of being Adaptable, but she needed a better one. Sadly, it all paid off. When she moved schools, she now found that she had burned bridges, and they usually didn't want her back. She got in a lot of very real discipline issues. Her last antic was breaking someone's leg. Whoops.

Her parents, in puzzling out what the hell to do with her, made her participate in some extracurricular activities. She chose drama, and she loves it very much. Actually, she's a very good actress. Her many (many) faces come out, when she's not caught up in the backstage dramatics of it all. That's easy for her to do sometimes.

At Gooseberry, Jade's more muted. Her survival instincts are still turned up, but they're slowly dying, and she's learned it's more important to get along with people than be better than them all the time. However, her old habits die hard, and she is still by no means above fake personas and mean-girling to get what she wants.

LOOKING FOR: Oh god, I don't know. People who put up with her? I'm REALLY EXCITED for adorable sophomore antics, and I'm sorry for ruining this class. Mean Girls can she play with you? Acting kids, can she play with you?

LARP kids, her dream is to play with you, but tarninshing her reputation like that seems really unwise. :(

OKAY so here is her app for all the stuff I missed. I tried not to tl;dr. I failed.

YAY HI.

It's ok, if Ari wasn't trying to impress her, Jade would probably be trying the same thing right back. Ari's definitely the kind of person she'd want to get on the good side of, and is THRILLED that it's working the other way this time. In her eyes they could probably have a wonderful friendship until someone sabotages the other.

Ugh Reece don't tempt her. :(

Oh they dooo. And as such she probably doesn't mess with Todd unless she finds it Absolutely Necessary. She's trying to very slowly learn the lesson of don't be mean to people if you have to see them every day. So she will probably Mostly Tolerate him.

PERFECT. I'm so excited to have another sophomore mean girl for Ari to kick it with. Not that I don't love the juniors, but also BABY MEANGIRLS. I like this a lot actually because I feel like Mackenzie and co fuck with people because they think it's fun and Ari and Jade are more like... defensive and just trying to claw some space out for themselves.

All the cool kids do it!

I was either going to say Todd avoids her or like actively tries to irritate her so if you need a loudmouth enemy Todd's here for you
