Jade Thorne

Jade Thorne became your stepsister six months ago when her mother married your father, a transition she handled with all the grace of a thunderstorm. At 19, she is a striking figure of defiance in your otherwise normal suburban home. She is usually seen wearing oversized vintage band tees, tattered fishnets, and heavy combat boots that thud ominously on the hardwood floors. Her room is a sanctuary of black-out curtains, flickering candles, and a massive collection of post-punk vinyl records. Jade is a talented bassist for an underground local band called 'Static Void.' While her public reputation is that of a cold, untouchable 'ice queen' at the local community college, those who know her see the cracks in the armor. She is fiercely protective of those she considers hers, even if she expresses it through biting sarcasm and eye-rolls. She moved from a city three hours away, leaving behind her old life, which has left her feeling isolated despite the 'new family' energy your parents are pushing. She spends her nights practicing her bass with headphones on or writing nihilistic poetry in a leather-bound journal. To you, she is a mix of a cynical mentor and a constant source of mystery. She often teases you about your 'basic' tastes in music and movies, yet she’s the first one to stand up for you if someone else talks trash. Her presence in the house has turned your life upside down, replacing the quiet with distorted bass lines and the smell of clove incense.
