Jade
Name: Jade T.Koopa
Age: 24(Jade was 19 when the first story took place and since its 5 years now she's 24..err..yup.)
HomePlanet: Yoshi's Island on Yamauchi.
History: Jade grew up in a small village with her sister, Gem and her Mother, Father and little brother. She was brought up in a family with good morals and values but she was the delinquent of the family. From day 1 she always got in trouble with the law and was a troublesome kid, who was an annoyance to the whole village. By age 14 she had dropped out of school and with her attractive looks she was a "player" and had numerous boyfriends. One day she and her sister came home one day to find their parents brutally murdered. The news spread and in the end Jade somehow took the blame of being the murderer. She fled her village leaving her sister and brother to fend on their own in life.
Jade's hatred grew by the day. She traveled the island alone, living off whatever she could find. At a point, she started robbing innocent people at night, taking their money and food to live off of until one night she robbed the wrong person...The person being a female Koopa as well, dressed in strange dark clothes, her face hidden. She was "Fang", a skilled assassin who knew how to defend herself. As she was about to strike Jade the death blow she realized who Jade was and spared her and offered her a life she couldn't resist. An assassin's life.
Jade was brought to a hide-out unknown on the island and learned many assassins lived there, most being female. They followed their leader who owned the hide-out and was the head authority. He was a swift muscular reptile whom they called "Master". Jade was then trained for a year to become one of them. She faced torture and pain but when it was time, she was finally one of them. Her next 2 years as an assassin built up. She became stronger and swifter and was soon the highest-ranking of the clan from her well-done jobs. She murdered many helpless victims and never failed to kill her objective. Her thoughts were mediocre and she did anything for her master. Not only was she loyal but she had feelings for him. He manipulated her and was able to use her for anything he wanted.
Finally at one point Jade was sent for the assassination of King Bowser. She failed and received multiple beatings from her Master. This was one of the biggest and most important missions and she failed it. He cursed and tortured her until she was almost dead, which was when she found out he was using her. She later found out his clan was the one who murdered her parents. Their only reason was because they had been watching her and saw the strength she had. Their plans succeeded and with her hatred was played as a pawn.
After Jade recovered she wanted revenge. Once getting loose she kicked the crap out of her Master and left for good. There was more hurt inside her than anger because she had loved him.
For the next year, Jade was a free killer. She continued her reign of death and murdered several hundred lives which ranged from Yoshies, Mushrooms, Koopas to any other creature she found on the island. She ignored the words of a wise man she mugged. His last words to her were that she would someday regret all she had done, and it would all come back to haunt her. She laughed that off and killed the old soul and went on with her life. She received the scar on her right eye when invading a Shy Guy village. The leader happened to be skilled in the arts of fighting and was able to mess up Jade whom fled that place.
She was finally 18 when she reached a part of the island where she was unknown. She found a small lair for herself to live and resided in the area of "The Markior's Mountain Lair", "Luna's Aurorium" and many other historic landmarks. She knew of the Yoshi Gods and Goddesses and the many others that visited these places and eventually saw them for herself. She held back on the killing and just teased and taunted the people. It was until she came upon a bad-ass lizalfos named "J Jr" that her feelings arose once again. He somehow appealed to her...and after bickering and fighting with him she got to his good side and they both fell in love. Gem now resided on this area of the island and found her sister who had grown and changed. Jade just ignored her existence and went on with Jr. Unfortunately the 2 eventually broke up and Jade was back to bugging the others. In a way she befriends some of the Yoshies and other inhabitants but never called them her friends.
When the island started changing she did as well (About the time of WWMAIS methinks). Jr's well known brother, an extremely strong Saiyan named Joseph DeLaCroix got up and left the place. Jade started to follow him around until the 2 found out they were in love. Their beliefs clashed as Joe was good-willed and Jade was evil. He taught her the ways of being a good person and actually started to tame her. They started a family together of one Saiyan child named Matthew and Joe gave Jade new powers and strength. Jr came around and Jade felt kinda sorry for him and set him up with Gem. The 2 fell in love as well and quickly produced 2 children. The first being a girl named Karina and the second a boy named Rex.
So their life prospered happily for about a year and a half, until it came to a total halt. Joe was killed along with Jr in an unnatural death. The 2 were put in a temporary death and reside somewhere else.
Without Joe, Jade lost her good qualities and became mean and senseless again. She ditched her family and left Matt with Gem. Gem was distraught and took care of him and her children as best as she can.
The years have now advanced and Jade is now an adult. She still acts rude and mean and careless towards people and has a big ego. She does have more power than she realizes but her rudeness makes her look hopeless.
Phys Description: 6'0 (Not too good with heights so I'm not sure if that's tall enough).
Jade has long auburn (reddish-brown) hair that goes down to about her knees. Being a Koopa, she is scaly and reptilian with sharp teeth and claws that tear through skin. She has a long tail with about 12 spikes running down it and usually wears something a little too *kauf* revealing. She also wears a spiky dog collar, along with 2 on her wrists and near her shoulders as well, thus its not a very good idea to hug or get too close to her. On her right eye she brandishes a scar that she received from a specific battle she had and her eyes are blue. She has a Spiked Koopa shell but doesn't always wear it.

Abilities: Jade is very powerful for her weak looks. She can uses both physical and Magical attacks. She's stealthy and fast from being an assassin and can sneak around without being known. The powers Joe gave her, allow her to float, hover and fly about as well as shoot large and small amounts of energy from her hands (these powers are similar to Ryoko's from Tenchi Muyo). She also plays around with magic and uses Dark spirits in her magick. Her best physical moves are slicing with her claws and punching. She can usually perform the death move by getting a hold of someone's neck and cutting the jugular vein in their throat by using her teeth or claws. Unfortunately this won't work on machines and other inhabitants that don't need a vein in their neck. That's where the magic and energy comes in…
Anything else: Jade may act evil, but deep down she still has a warm caring heart. She won't admit that to anyone and acts blunt to hide it. With enough words and intelligence she can be manipulated onto the Side of Good or Evil making her a pawn.
