Jade Estella Antoinette

Jade Antoinette is the main and one-half leader of the Third Street Saints in Hazardverse.

Physical Appearance
Jade is only 5'9 and considered to be the tallest girl in the gang. Her hair is naturally jet black and sometimes have blue or purple streaks in her hair. She consistently wears many variants of bobs and at one point, slicked back hair and is never the one to grow her hair out. Jade's fashion is usually gothic/punk and designer clothing that varies from darker colors such as black, maroon, midnight blue or a deep shade of purple. She also has a huge preference for chains on her skirts and chrome cross necklaces. While dressed femininely like pleated skirts, frilly blouses, stockings, and platforms, Jade also doesn't mind a bit of masculine tastes like slacks, dress shirts and dress shoes.

Her body shape is considered to be an hourglass, which Jade takes advantage when it comes to her significant participation in the prostitution crime ring. When first starting out in the Saints, Jade had a toned body during a small period in her life where she took upon working out. After the explosion and being in a coma for four years, she lost her muscles and became quite skinny. It didn't take long to build herself back in good shape, but never had the muscles like she used to. Being half human and half vampire, she has a noticeably bigger head with less bones in her body and lacks a shadow. She also has fangs, but lacks bloodlust due to being half vampire. Her skin was originally tan, but having been inside comatose in a prison for four years, she grew pale at first but got her tan back mid Saints Row 2.

Jade is also never shown in public without wearing some sort of makeup. She loves semi-glossy black lipsticks and winged eyeliners. Her eyeshadow is either black or purple. Jade has a variety of tattoos on her body consisting of both flower sleeves, a black swan on the back of her neck, a broken heart tat, and so forth.

Personality
Jade is often snarky and sometimes can be downright cold if provoked. This is a result from her hectic and pressured childhood living with her family of crime lords. Also because of this, she possess a level-headed state of mind like how her father would to keep his empire afloat. Unlike her peers, such as Johnny Gat and her best friend/co-boss, Brody Winston, Jade uses her head and does not resort to head-on tactics unless it is absolutely necessary. Ironically, she on occasion give Pierce flack for over relying on plans unless it's on board with her morals, ideologies, or whether she's in a good mood. Jade can also be unempathetic and apathetic to certain things such as social events and certain people such as Carlos.

While her gang believes she can be a decent person, Jade's morality is deemed highly questionable and dynamic to where she herself is not aware of that sometimes. When it came to destroying the drugs lab in Shivington, Jade was sure she was doing a good cause to the community, but also was aware of what sort of damaging outcomes she'd bring upon until she took the risk and saw a much worse effect. Jade also has done her fair share of sociopathic behavior such as applying toxic waste to Matt's ink to burn Maero's face, permanently impairing Matt's hand, and even burying Shogo alive.

Despite being a mostly negative person, Jade has a few redeeming qualities that makes up for it. Jade can be known for being forgiving, maybe too forgiving. On few occasions, she has spared and even recruited enemies to the Saints such as Matt and Viola. Jade showed empathy towards Viola over the loss of her sister, Kiki as Jade herself knows about losing someone important. When it comes to leading the Saints, she shows a vast amount of respect and loyalty to her friends and the members of both parties. She may treat them like they're just a ragtag team, but deep down Jade loves them like family. Over the years, she has grown to become less bitter about everything and tries to be more optimistic. Jade is a realist, meaning she see things for what they are and works around them in a practical and logical manner. She does not fall for lies and propaganda easily which makes working with corporations and/or money-hungry criminals troublesome and infuriating.

Skills

 * Leadership - Jade knows a thing or two about leadership thanks to her background being involved in social cliques in her teen years and her family having an criminal empire in Florida. She excels in knowing what's best for the Saints/Outcasts and sticking with it unless a plan goes very wrong and resorts to using backup plans she creates ahead of time.
 * Firearms - There's no doubt that Jade would pick up the art of gunslinging. Her father had taught her at a fairly young age how to defend herself from seedy people. Eventually by the time she was 17, her marksmanship skill was considered to be far from the normal human capabilities.
 * Enhanced Senses - As a dhampir, Jade has a lot of advantages under her wing that her fellow normal humans envy about. This includes her heightened sense of smell, sight, and hearing. She is able to see invisible vampires, see in the darkness and at greater distances, hear things no one else could, and smell things nobody else could either. This skill has provided a lot of help for her gang.
 * Superhuman Capabilities - Jade is nearly indestructible as her durability can withstand a lot of high impact forces and injuries that could either easily cripple or kill a normal human. Her speed and stamina are unmatched with a regular human being as she can hardly become tired and is able to dodge and block a lot of attacks. Jade is also semi-immortal as she can never truly age after reaching adulthood and cannot die from natural causes. To regain health, she feeds upon enemies and drain their blood empty. Despite all of this, Jade still should worry about being killed by bullets and sharp objects.
 * Ju-jitsu - In her teenage years, Jade wanted to try her hand at martial arts to further add on new skills and to not rely on just using firearms. She took upon taking a Ju-jitsu class, specifically in the art of Brazilian Ju-jitsu, to defend herself against much bigger opponents than her. She only managed to get brown belt at the start of Saints Row 1, but after the coma took her time to head back and get her black belt after many years.
 * Blades - Jade has a fondness of blades, such as regular knives, butterfly knives, switchblades, karambits, etc and definitely uses her fondness to a full tee. She was taught where to specifically attack certain arteries in the midst of any fights and even uses blades in submissions only as last resort.

History
Before she and Brody were in the Saints, Jade lived a luxurious, but rather personally mundane life in Miami, Florida. She was born into a wealthy family who had already paved the way in the drug trafficking business in the state. Her mother was not only a smuggler, but was involved with extortion and prostitution. Her father was a notorious, but strangely noble kingpin who gave back to his community and decimated rival gangs who dared to crush his empire. Jade is their only child, which gave the dhampir the benefits of having a strong bond with her parents and having everything she wants but came with the pressure of being their perfect angel and growing up without a sibling to be there for her. The only friend Jade would consider as a true brother would be Brody Winston as they have been friends since pre-school. Jade's much more closer to her father than she is with her mother as her mother was often hiding from the law so he was stuck raising their daughter.

When she was a pre-teen, she picked up a serious fascination with Gothic literature and the culture surrounding it thanks to the chatroom friends she met on DIM. Jade even learned about vampire lore, particularly Slavic vampires, when the first NyteBlayde movie had came out and all of this would turn her into the person she became today. When her parents had found out about this, they were worried Jade couldn't handle the truth about her and the family but decided it would be best to tell the young dhampir anyway. They told her about their vampiric bloodline and that she was the only offspring of a human/vampire breed which would automatically appoint her the role of a vampire hunter due to having abilities unlike regular vampires. Jade would then fully understand who she is meant to be and took upon a different route in her life that her entire family considered her as the "black sheep".

In the spring of 2004, Jade moved to Stilwater alongside Brody to seek a much more interesting life rather than being around rich folks for days on end. In the biggest sheer of good and bad luck, she got more than what she bargained for as a day after the two had arrived in the city, Jade would blindly entered a gunfight that could have ended her.

Saints Row
Shortly after being canonized into the Third Street Saints, Jade was appointed the role of being Julius' right hand alongside Brody, knowing the two could get some serious work done together. Specifically, she was tasked to take out Los Carnales since she grew up knowing all about the drug business and that her and Dex were a perfect set of tacticians. After taking over a Carnales stronghold in Athos Bay, Jade took upon the opportunity to dish out substantial damage to the gang by destroying drug labs, crossing tags out (with the help of Brody), and hijacking shipments. This proved successful as Los Carnales appeared on the Saints' radar and retaliated. When it came down to her and Dex being sent by Julius to meet with Manuel in order to get in on the drug trade, the two were ambushed by Victor's pack and forced back to Mission Beach, leading to the Carnales' raid at the church. The violent battle ensues while Jade takes on Victor and his heavily armed Bulldog. Believing Jade took him down with a grenade chucked in his vehicle, Victor comes back burning alive and Jade finally kills him with a point blank shotgun blast to the head.

Two days after, Jade gets word from Dex about the Columbians willing to work for the Saints if only they bring back the cocaine that was confiscated. Backed by not only Manuel but a friend of Jade's father who heard about her affiliation with the Saints, the dhampir was more than happy to get the Columbians on the gang's side. With a plan of using a car bomb to blow a hole in the police station, the plan goes perfect. Jade, Brody, Dex and Julius would meet with Manuel for another deal before Angelo interrupts it by opening fire. The dhampir would then be given the address to the Lopez's mansion by Manuel in order to assault and kill Angelo, only for it to go awry and Angelo escaping after a hectic chase throughout the city. Now that the leadership of Los Carnales have been dismantled, Jade would become aware of Angelo's preparation to leave Stilwater. With Brody and Dex on her side to stop him, the trio drives to the airport full of heavy security, making it a challenge to destroy Angelo's jet. Despite this, they took out his jet resulting everyone on board dead. Jade would finally see Luz eye to eye for the first time ever only for Brody to threaten harm towards Luz. The trio let her go unharmed and Los Carnales are no longer a problem to Stilwater.

After taking down the Carnales, Jade would meet up with Johnny Gat to assist in the annihilation of the Vice Kings. Sticking around with Johnny's "plans" wasn't easy for Jade to deal with as constantly improvising and diving headfirst into combat was not her ideal pace compared to being with Dex and his carefully well-thought out tactics. Nonetheless, her, Johnny, and Brody were able to pull through. Jade took a different approach to disrupting the Vice Kings' prostitution ring by not only stealing their prostitutes, but having sex with their clients to get them to pay for her instead. Tanya and Warren would take notice, putting a hit on Jade to be held hostage until the money she received comes back to the Vice Kings. A day of being held hostage and she would end up escaping with reckless fashion. After Vice Kings' coup against Ben King, Jade was skeptical of his presence in the Saints only until it was known him and Julius go back since the 70s. Her, King, Brody, and Gat would storm King's penthouse in effort to eliminate Tanya once and for all.

While Jade was less involved in the dismantlement of the Westside Rollerz, she had assisted Brody as backup for stealing high-performance cars from the gang and smashing up Donnie's garage. However, Jade was less than thrilled to hear about Lin's death, especially the news of Brody being shot by William Sharp so she took upon vengeance against Joseph Price and the remainder of the Rollerz.

The gangs have been all erased, making the Saints the number one gang in Stilwater and promoting Jade and Brody as lieutenants. A few months later, she would receive a worrisome call that would unknowingly lead the Saints to their downfall. Alderman Hughes had forced her to do his dirty work so he could be the mayor of the city. After some work here and there and assassinating Alderman's rival candidate, Jade took a bold risk to meet with him alone on his yacht, believing she could take him down. Instead, it turned out his yacht was rigged to blow which resulted Jade being blown up and having a life-threatening head injury in the process.

Saints Row 2
[TO BE ADDED]

Saints Row: The Third
Three years after reclaiming Stilwater and taking on Dex's private army in the island of Palmhaven, Jade and the Saints are solidified as household names after Suzume's deal with Ultor a few years back. As a way to make more money and help Josh Birk with his method acting, she and the crew alongside Deadringer decides to rob a bank in the most grand scheme possible. Things go awry when it's discovered that the bank is owned by the Syndicate, a well established criminal organization and the law enforcement is called upon thanks to Josh alerting them. The heist flops, resulting in Jade and the crew being arrested on the spot.

Now bailed out by the head of the Syndicate, Phillpe Loren, the Saints are expected to make a deal with them. Jade, Brody and the crew refused the offer knowing it won't benefit them in anyway. Violence ensues on Loren's plane, making Jade, Brody, Shaundi, and Deadringer escape thanks to Gat and his heroic sacrifice.

Upon landing in the city of Steelport and having all of their bank accounts and assets wiped, Jade and Brody are forced to start over once again. While buying weapons at a Friendly Fire, Shaundi's sarcastic idea of raiding an armory comes into full motion because of Brody insisting it'll be a good idea. The armory gets raided of its weapons cache, but Jade takes sight of a bomb and wants to steal it for later use. The four gets pinned down by the military until Pierce, and the few Saints (including the Bosses' inner circle) come to their aid. After an air battle with the military, the crew settles into Shaundi's ex's apartment where the bomb is set on top of the apartment as there is nowhere else to put it.

In the meantime, Jade and Brody would take the time to get to know Steelport better and assists Pierce in starting a ruckus with the Syndicate. They would also know slowly who they are dealing with as they run into rather slightly less than human foes on the way. After buying some real estate and making some profit off trafficking, Pierce would contact Jade on taking over a penthouse owned by the Syndicate and Jade would gather up her best members for this mission.

The next night would be the penthouse takeover and the trusted enforcers would unleash their assault onto the Syndicate's party. During the assault, it's revealed the penthouse is set to blow up unless a way to disarm the bomb is given. Jade would follow one of the organization's lieutenants and force them into giving away the specific wire needed to stop the bomb.

With the penthouse now taken over and renamed to Saints HQ,

Epilogue
A month after managing to save Shaundi and Viola with Reina and Pierce while the rest of the Saints dealt with Killbane, Jade would publicly decline being in the spotlight as she had already became irritable and lost self-worth of being a celebrity. She would also head back to Stilwater to clean out the rest of the Syndicate that had remained there before the heist. It would be until five years later in 2016 where she would go off the grid for reasons unknown.

Brody Winston
Brody is her best friend and soul brother since pre-school and they both get into the thick of trouble no matter the circumstances. Brody taught her a lot of things about the street life since Jade lived in a more well-off lifestyle and Jade gave a part of her life to him, making their bond grow stronger. The two had roamed around their hometown of Miami day and night, seeking thrills and making money. With the two now being infamous criminals and dealing with the consequences behind it, their friendship is usually tested. They may bicker a lot, but it always come from a place of heart and tough love.

Julius
Jade had looked up to Julius as a man true to his beliefs and a leader, but never in a way that she had looked up to her father. Jade wasn't one to please him for her work for the Third Street Saints though rather she prefers to act upon her own desires, which Julius was starting to see becoming a problem. In result of this, Julius turned on her by rigging Alderman's boat to explode, hoping at least Jade or Brody would be killed off. After waking up from her coma, Jade had nothing but pure hatred for his betrayal, making her already bitter nature more cruel than before. Soon after reuniting with her former mentor and temporarily helping each other from Ultor, Jade had shot him dead in cold-blood.

Johnny Gat
From the moment Johnny introduced himself to her, Jade had a strong dislikening towards him. She saw him as insecure, reckless, and boneheaded like Brody but on a borderline sociopathic scale. Johnny could never take the hint that Jade really does not want to be around him since he thought she was trying to impress him. When not giving him the cold shoulder or throwing snarky jabs at him, Jade would attempt to push aside her negative feelings towards him but never exactly sticks with it. The only things Jade likes about him is his loyalty and brief instances of nobility.

Dex
Jade took a liking to the skilled tactician since he isn't a madman like Johnny and that the two had ambitious mindsets. They know how to work together and constructively critique their plans before setting them in motion. Outside of their goals, Jade had fallen for Dex's witty and charismatic charm but had kept it a secret. She hadn't suspected of Dex being a sellout until four years later when Jade woke up from her coma to find out Dex dropped his flags and sold his soul to Ultor. Heartbroken by the news, her love then turned into rage as she planned to kill Dex for turning his back on her.

Troy
Troy was always weird to Jade since they first met. She knew something was fishy about him from the way he looked and questioned everything, but never fully suspected he was undercover. Troy would end up to be her life lesson to be cautious about the people she's around, to which Jade believed she was good at. Despite the revelation of him being in the police force, she doesn't mind the fact Troy's helping her and the Saints on the down low, but she is prepared to erase him the moment he stops becoming useful to them.

Lin
Jade and Lin had barely interacted with each other since they were heavily focused on two different gangs. The little time they did spend with each other was bantering about immature guys and that the two should get to know each other more. When Lin died, Jade was robbed of a chance for a strong friendship between the two and it had made her angry.

Shaundi
Shaundi is one of the people Jade respects a lot. She admires her work ethic and the amount of connection she has amongst the many exes Shaundi's been with. The two would occasionally get together and bond over music, relationships, and interior design. While Jade doesn't mind Shaundi's laidback attitude and stonerisms at first, she does get annoyed with her if it affects their plans to gain control. Over the years as Shaundi began to grow as a person, her and Jade became alike in a sense to where they finally both understood each other deeply. They've also been honest with each other in private, such as Jade's confession of loathing Johnny.

Pierce
Jade gets along with Pierce well enough, but not enough to hang out with him for a full day. She respects his skills as a tactician and being a go-getter in business, but loathes his complaining and incompetence. While not a total bully towards him unlike Brody, Jade loves to tease Pierce in a light-hearted manner to get him to let loose a little.

Viola
While at first Jade wanted to kill her for being indirectly tied to Johnny's death, her distrust and hatred then began to ween off when she realized Viola truly meant vengeance against Killbane for murdering her sister, Kiki. During this time, Jade would show empathy for Viola while the two were becoming lovestruck with each other. The conflict between Viola and Shaundi had set their feelings for her aside, causing their newfound relationship to be troubled. By the end of Saints Row: The Third, Jade and Viola would finally become more open to a romantic relationship.

Kenzie
The two doesn't really mind each other as Jade finds Kenzie to be a more socially awkward version of herself and Kenzie finds Jade to be a welcoming presence for her to openly discuss about their kinks to each other. Kenzie also likes the fact Jade can at least understand what she's trying to tell them. Only potential problem Jade has with Kenzie is the possibility that she may be actually spying on her.

Angel
Jade could care any less about him and his goal to crush Killbane's ego as she finds him to be uninteresting to be around and overall useless to the Third Street Saints.

Zimos
She has an extremely strong disdain for the pimp and wants nothing to do with him at all. Zimos doesn't like Jade for being a joykill and for insulting his art.

Oleg
The two are cool with each other and occasionally have debates on topics just to pass the time. Oleg senses Jade to be not bad of a person everyone claims her to be and she respects that.
