A Childhood Incident

So, a part of Jade's backstory is a bit...hazy. In her description, it's said that she has a long, horizontal scar running across her cheek, from an incident when she was a child. Some were confused about it. So, I decided to try and write what had happened. To give some background, Jade used to be called a witch child because of her odd looks, and because she couldn't touch anyone without making them pass out, or become very weak. At home, she would be beaten by her father. But, she made a friend (that she slowly started to fall in love with) that had the same situation at home. They stayed friends for a little, until one night...

o H SHIT

OH MY GOSH I FORGOT TO UPDATE THIS BLOG FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS SHIT MAN SHIT SHIT SHIT OKAY SORRY

aHh I'm crying I'm so sorry guys! QoQ Okay, okay so, let's just ignore my complete forgetting to update. Okay. So, in my last post, I was talking about my need to change Jade, my super unoriginal character, into someone that would fit the part of a sadistic-al and cold queen/leader of the Shadows. And, I think I found the answer. So, from Jade Harley...to Jade Hexe Young!

To start off, I kept her first name, as you can see. She's just always going to be Jade, and that's perfectly fine with me. Her middle name is actually a small little joke. Not really. But kinda. So, Jade is from German heritage, and when she was born, her father called her "Ah! Hexe! Hexe!" Hexe means "witch" in German. I mean, you'd be a little startled when your child has white hair and bright red eyes, right? So, her father just called her Hexe from then on. So as a cruel joke, she took that name up as her middle name. Isn't that just funny?! Hahaha...haaaa......................anyway. Her last name, it was actually just picked randomly. It sounded like a pretentious last name, and so I shrugged and put it as her last name. I kinda like it, actually. Jade Hexe Young.

Now, to get rid of her look as to Fem! Prussia, I decided to change only a couple things. I wanted to keep her red eyes and white hair, because that's a big part of her. So, instead, I focused on what hair style she has, and her outfit. Before, it was a red, white, and blue colored pirate outfit. Which was really weird. I didn't really...get...why I did that...But! It's much better now.

So, basically, what she wears now, is military type dresses that are black, and knee high wedges, that are also black. She has badges and such on her chest, and wears a belt that has her sword on it, but other than that she rarely wears any makeup or jewelry. Sometimes she's seen with a small red cross on, and mascara, but other than that, nothing else. It's basic and also, really nice. One problem with the outfit that I'm going to show you, the boots are off. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted on the site I made the outfit on, so it's a separate picture.

As you can see, the boots are much different. Much cooler. Mhmmhm. Anyways, moving onto her hair, I think I'm going to have it be at just past her shoulders, somewhat rounded in, so if she's leaning forward you can tell easily that it's curled slightly at the tips. I didn't really want her to hair straight hair, so this works. So, yeah! The revamped Jade Young. Woo! Sorry again for the late post, and until next time!!

Jade Harley --> ????

Okay, so recently I've been stressing about if I actually wrote the book. Because, um, well there's a lot of problems with one of my characters. For one, like ninety percent of her is not even my idea. Whoops. I originally just took a free-form character named Jade, and turned her into a girl with long white hair and red eyes, and gave her a last name. But the problem is, the character design was a bit unoriginal. The name I gave her was Jade Harley. And, if you look way back into my posts, you'll see that I basically just took the name from a character from Homestuck.

Which is bad. Not only that though, when looking for pictures of a girl with long white hair and red eyes, I stumbled upon gender bent Hetalia. Hetalia is an anime about personified countries. The picture of the girl I was looking exactly for was the girl version of Prussia, an albino.

I just rolled with the whole pirate outfit. But so anyways, I um, I decided I needed to redo like, all of her design. New name, new look. Although, I think I might keep the name Jade, just because a new first name puts a whole different spin on the character, and none of my friends would really like if I did that. So, basically everything minus her first name.

So I know there's like, no one out there, so I can't be all, "Oh, choose between this name and this one!" because I know I wouldn't get any response. So instead, I'm just going to think about it myself, and maybe post my thoughts, and then a new design. And maybe a different design.

That's basically what's happening, yo.

Jade Harley is a Badass

Okay, so I wrote a Vital Vocab a little while ago and I cannot stop reading it over again. I just really love Jade! She's so elegant and strong and just, just, ahhhhhh Jade.... So anyways, I'm gonna shove the Vital Vocab at you. Read it. Now.

 I heard quiet comments ripple through the crowds as I made my way through the ballroom, my eyes dancing around easily as I took it all in. My party, my grand scheme, it was almost complete. Now all I needed was the Army to take the bait, and the chess game would finally begin.
“My, Jade really does look beautiful tonight, doesn’t she?” I heard from a man, to which a girl responded, “Yeah, she really is sublime.” I smirked slightly as I made my way to a table with all sorts of refreshments laid, picking up a small glass with bubbling champagne in it. As I took a small sip, my mind slipped out, entering everyone’s at once, catching every thought.
Jade looks more stoic than usual, I guess she’s trying to pull her masks again... I heard the single thought and turned to the carrier, catching the Main Guard’s eye. As soon as he met my cold stare, he got my succinct message, swallowed and turned away, trying to join in with an amiable conversation some people were having by him. A girl, elegantly dressed in a green dress, appeared by my side, munching on some crackers and cheese.
“What angle are you trying to play at, Jade?” She asked, some crumbs on her black lips. I merely smiled and took another sip, closing my eyes. “Ah, Leatrin. I’m only playing with my pawns. Notice how I didn’t invite many important pieces to the party?” They all surmise it’s for fun... She scoffed, lifting another cracker to her lips.
“Of course I did; not even Nate is here. Which is why I’m asking, what angle are you getting at with all this?” I finished off my glass and dropped it, hearing the usually strident shatter muffled by the music in the room.
“Bear with me, you’ll see. It’s all laid out.” Leatrin sighed, crossed her arms, turned. “You never tell me your plans.” She walked away, and I stepped over my broken glass, tapping a small button on my wrist. As the music slowed to a stop, I felt a small chip in the back of my throat turn on and my voice projected.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming out tonight to join me at my nineteenth birthday party. I hope you’ll all bare your souls tonight as we drink and dance, because you’ve all worked hard for a night such as this.” People started clapping and I let them carry out their applause before they quieted down.
“Now,” I sensed them walk in; the Army, Elizabeth, Beatrix, Tyler, Hank, Anthony, they slowly walked in. I caught Elizabeth's eye, and smiled wickedly. “Let’s all give a round of applause for our special guests, the Army!”

Just a little bonus, here's the dress Jade would be wearing at the ball:

she's such a babe ovo
