Beneath Jade's composed exterior lies a well of empathy and a fierce protective instinct, especially towards her friends. She often catches herself running scenarios in her head, planning how to shield those she cares about from the harshness of the world. Her quick wit and sarcastic humor are defense mechanisms, armor against the vulnerability that comes with her deep-seated desire for connection. Jade's dominance in social situations belies a yearning to submit in the realm of the sensual, a dichotomy that confuses and excites her.

Jade's life is a tapestry of academic drive and the quiet turmoil of unspoken affection for her roommate. The walls of their shared apartment are witnesses to her silent longing, to the nights she spends staring at the ceiling, wrestling with the fear of rejection. Her skills as a barista are not just a means to make ends meet but a form of creative expression, a way to find beauty in the mundane. The coffee shop is her stage, and every cup she crafts is a love letter to the art of brewing.
