[ I slept and saw God's forge in frost. Its hearth was quelled, and as it cooled so swooned the verdancy it kept above. In slumber it grew a thick winter skin, white as bedsheets. In their folds the waker dreamt, her breath as steam, her touch as hot as iron, forgotten in the fire.
Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew! ]

INTRO
Jade Harley's god-tier title is the Witch of Space. The symbols she is commonly associated with are the Devilbeast head graphic, a Blue Atom, and the Space symbol. She is formerly of the planet Earth, and the elements Earth and Uranium may also be associated with her. In terms of weapons, Jade favors Riflekind, but she can wield just about anything given time and practice. Jade's musical themes include: A Room Above the Shimmering Ocean, Wielder of Celestial Atmospheres, Blue Atom, and 3 In The Morning.
Her weaknesses are numerous. Jade is forgetful, hot-headed, impatient at times, and insensitive towards the emotional outbursts of her friends. When increasingly emotional, she is more vulnerable to manipulation than usual as a result of the more canine portion of her nature. Jade also cannot use her omnipotent abilities due to being essentially separated from the energy of the Green Sun while in the Omniverse; however, some moves, such as Bang!, still harness and utilize some of that energy. Jade also has a tendency to push herself too far to accomplish nearly impossible or even just plain difficult tasks, which can end up being detrimental to her mental and physical health.
Fortunately, Jade also has many strengths. She is in possession of strong intuition, and a fair amount of resourcefulness and bravery. She is optimistic most of the time. She is very intelligent and has an enormous capacity for destruction when fully equipped with her Space powers. She can deliver a hell of a verbal smackdown if properly pissed-off. She is often mistaken to be naive, sometimes even by her friends. This is not the case.

PERSONALITY
Jade's interests include gardening, nuclear physics, gadgetry, and anthropomorphic fauna (furries). She dislikes big game trophies, mummies, rude trolls, and eldritch horrors. A few of the quirky traits she has are dog instincts and mannerisms. Jade (used to) doze off at inopportune moments, making her a narcoleptic precognitive for some time; this condition is reduced in the Omniverse but will likely return. She has been known to exhibit the verbal tic "woof!" very rarely.
Her morality can best be defined as heroic and friendly. Her attitude? Peppy, chipper, other words for positive, positive, positive! Her outlook on life is that, "There is still something worth fighting for!!", something, which makes her exceedingly optimistic. Jade is a gardener, so she likes to cultivate friendships and the various places that she visits. She can also take on the role of a guardian, if given something to watch over, such as the Little Sister taken from Rapture by Tearen Wover, Rebecca.
A quote to describe her philosophy best would be this: "A world in which there are monsters, and ghosts, and things that want to steal your heart is a world in which there are angels, and dreams, and a world in which there is hope.” - Neil Gaiman.
While amiable towards those who are not outwardly rude towards herself or her friends, Jade can sometimes be a bit overzealous in all of her interactions. She is a very curious individual and can often list off a great amount of questions off the top of her head. If someone is directly mean, however, Jade will react pretty explosively and would not be opposed to a fight. Jade is generally a nice person and would like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. However, if she were to see someone attacked right before her very eyes without knowing the reason for it, she would most likely throw herself in harm's way to defend them. She can also work herself up into an unhealthy stint over things not working out the way she would have liked for them to, and will work herself to the point of exhaustion to correct any mistakes.
It should be remembered that Jade was alone for a very long time on her island. Someone hints at not wanting to speak with her anymore or she offends them in some way by accident? Panic time.
NOT-SO-BRIEF HISTORY:
Jade Harley’s story begins with her relative isolation on a volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean. Her taxidermied grandfather (a Harley family tradition) stood in her living room and her dog Becquerel was her only companion. Her house was a very tall, sepulchral tower filled with loads of high-tech gadgetry, including transportalizers and a garden atrium. She communicated with her three friends John Egbert, Dave Strider, and Rose Lalonde over the internet, using a chat program called Pesterchum.
One day, the four friends played a video game called SBURB, which had world-altering consequences. The Game destroyed their Earth with meteors as the children entered the Game (capitalization totally intended.) Through a series of zany events and repeated time shenanigans, Jade Harley was shown to be very plucky, compassionate, and quick-witted, although a bit hot-headed and baffled by emotional outbursts. This can be attributed to her virtual seclusion for much of her life. Also, she was an excellent markswoman, so this aided her in defeating game-generated enemies.
In the game, however, it was up to Jade to help in the creation of a new universe through her frog breeding duties as a Hero of Space. Her planet, LOFAF(the Land of Frost and Frogs), was equipped with a Forge for this purpose. Her denizen Echidna spoke to Jade about moving on to a new game session as the one they were in was doomed to fail, and Jade agreed to carry all of the planets(her own and her friends’) to the new session.
*** SERIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD ***
She took a great deal of initiative in leading her friends through the Game, even interacting heavily with another session’s players for advice and still attempting to carry out her frog breeding mission. However, this was all for naught, and Jade was killed by a shaving cream bomb.
Before Jade died, she had created a sprite, or an entity with a ghost-like wisp of a tail that is privy to a bucket load of knowledge on the Game and their corresponding player’s mission/purpose. Her sprite, Jadesprite, was a combination of her dead dream self and her pet dog Becquerel(a First Guardian with extraordinary capabilities such as omnipotence and the ability to ‘fetch’ bullets, among other more Space-oriented powers.) This autonomous sprite proceeded to throw a massive tantrum at having been resurrected and left to go mope about the Battlefield, much to Jade’s chagrin.
During [S] Cascade, the non-sprite, dead Jade Harley ascended to god-tier on the Battlefield after having been placed upon her Quest Bed by Jack Noir. She merged with Jadesprite, thus becoming part dog and gaining dog ears and Becquerel’s First Guardian omnipotence to boot. She became the Witch of Space, with the abilities of matter and spatial manipulation, teleportation, flight, and trans-universal travel capabilities.
With the knowledge fresh in her mind that she must travel across the Yellow Yard to a new game session, Jade boarded a Prospitian Battleship with John Egbert and Davesprite, whom Jadesprite had met on the Battlefield while still independent of Jade. She shrank down the planets of their session to a smaller size and broke through the Fourth Wall, hurtling the battleship across the Yellow Yard towards the new game session with her Space powers.
Shortly after the events of [S] Cascade, while Jade Harley and her ectobiological brother John Egbert were on their three-year journey across the Yellow Yard aboard the Prospitian Battleship that Jade shrank down with her Space abilities, Jade minimized down John and Davesprite so that they could visit LOWAS(the Land of Wind and Shade, John’s planet).
John’s denizen, Typheus, blew the planet up in a plume of smoke, effectively killing John and Davesprite. Jade was mostly left by herself on the ship and sank into a deep depression from lonesomeness during the remainder of her journey. In the meantime, she became skilled with all different weaponkinds of Strife Specibi. Only, that journey didn’t get a chance to finish, as Jade was suddenly plucked from her universe and placed in the Omniverse.
Upon her arrival in the Nexus, Jade’s abilities should have been tampered down quite a bit. She will essentially have to re-learn most of her god-tier abilities, or at least several approximately equivalent ones, according the the rules of the Omniverse, and as a manipulator of Space it will most likely be difficult to adjust to the new universe’s limitations.
