overall personality:
Jade is... well Jamaican. Almost stereotypical so. She's very go with the flow, outgoing, and loves having a good time. In her mind, she has all the time in the world, and is never really in a hurry for anything. Having a good time is her primary goal in life. And, while she's in no rush, she's also not very... still. She loves to move, to be active.
Passionate is a word many would use to describe her. She cares, and she cares deeply. When she finds something she loves, she'll do anything for it. She'll obsess over it. She'll be vocal about it. She throws all her time and energy into the things she loves. Likewise, she loves thrills and excitement. Her heart racing... she just loves it.
She is an outgoing girl, and isn't afraid to speak her mind as loudly as possible, and will talk to anyone and everyone. She is confident, in her words, and her actions. She learned it from her mother, who taught her to never be ashamed. To make sure people knew her, and make sure no one ever walked over her. Sometimes her confidence can come off as being cocky though.
Jade is not a victim. She's spent her whole life ensuring that. Wanting to make sure no one ever used her. That no one ever hurt her. She spent her entire childhood going to karate classes, playing sports, being active. Basically doing everything she could to make sure she'd never get hurt. But, unfortunately because she's spent so much time and effort learning how to protect herself, she's never made herself.... well available. Part of her is scared that if she opens her heart to someone, that the same thing that happened to her mother will happen to her. Basically, she's afraid that she'll be abandoned. That when she finally gives her heart to someone, they'll leave her and take her heart with it.
One thing to remember is... Well, she's Jamaican. She has a strong, Jamaican accent, and talks extremely fast. People accuse her of having lungs of steel, able to get out an insane amount of words between breaths. Between the speed in which she speaks, and her accent, anyone that isn't Jamaican is bound to ask her to repeat herself or slow down. Something that, since moving to Europe, has become quite the pet peeve of hers.

history:
Catherine was working at a hotel when she met Aidan. He was a businessman, in Jamaica to help promote his company's growth. They were opening an office in the country, and if things went well, he'd be the one to head it up. If he could get the right permits and such. He spent hours talking to her each night after the meetings. They grew to be close over those weeks. He took her out to dinner many times. She took him out on the town and how Jamaican's had fun. She was a wild fire. Beautiful, intoxicating, he loved her. After an intense, and amazing month, he returned to the United States to finish the paperwork involved with his company's expansion. While he was gone, Catherine found out she was pregnant.
After a few months he returned, and he and Catherine found a home together. They didn't get married, he didn't want to and she didn't care. She was just so in love with this brilliant American to care. Soon, they welcomed Jade, their daughter into the world. She was an early walker, and totally skipped over crawling. Before she was even a year old she was running and attempting to climb.
That as when.... Aidan left. Catherine came home from work and he was gone. He never came back. For the first few months she hoped he would. But as the bills piled up... Well, that hope dwindled. Eventually she had to move out of the home she'd shared with him. Being a single mother was rough, but they got through it. Jade grew older and blossomed into a confident, and outgoing girl who arose to any challenge.
From a young age, she showed signs of being... well different. She had insane luck, she always seemed to land on her feet no matter what she did. Then there was the incident where she got lost in a supermarket, and somehow managed to find her way home, saying "De lights showed mi". It wasn't until she was eleven and a man came to their home to tell them just how different she was. That she was special. A witch. And there was a small school on the island for people like her, to teach her just what she was capable of.
Jade was... a decent student. Not the best, but not the worst. It was sports she excelled at. Quodpot was the most popular game at her school, and she was a great player. Everyone always said she'd play professionally, that one of the teams in the USA would scout her. They knew about Quidditch, of course, but it'd never been that popular at the school so they didn't have any official teams, and none of the teachers really knew how to play. One of her classmates had a cousin in the USA though that had taught him how to play, and so, he taught his friends, Jade included. Despite no formal training, the ragtag group of friends turned out to be quite good. Very good. All of them were scouted by teams in the USA during their final years at school and went on to play the sport professionally.
They were all good players, despite being 'newbies', but Jade was the best. She did extremely well in the United States League. But, you could only go so far in the US and Quidditch. Quodpot was the big sport in the country, and she preferred Quidditch.
That was when they started hearing... rumors about what was going on in the UK. About the murders, at that school named 'Hogwarts'. Kids, like her, with nonmagical parents were being killed. Eventually the papers reported a mass kidnapping, and that a student, Elaine Dupree was behind it all. But she was in the wind, gone without a trace. Jade personally didn't worry to much. That was a pretty big ocean between herself and the UK after all!
About a month ago, she received an offer she just couldn't refuse though. One of the sponsors for the Appleby Arrows had seen her play a few weeks earlier. Her team had scored over twenty goals that match, and more then half of them had been hers. The Appleby Arrows had a vacant position on their team that needed to be filled, and they'd asked her to come try out. They felt she could bring some... flavor to the team. A spicy Jamaican could be just what they needed to stir things up. She tried out, and got the spot. Now, she's trying her luck in the European leagues.
