Jade is one of the protagonists of the Sky Dancers Animated Series.
History[]
As daughter of a renowned scientist, Jade found the idea of the Wingdom and existence of magic to be impossible. Her mother, Anna Yamato, taught Jade ballet dancing at a young age, but left Jade and her father to pursue a professional career in ballet herself. Because of this, Jade developed a strong resentment towards her mother.[1] Nevertheless, Jade joined High Hope Dance Academy and became the school's prima ballerina.
After discovering about the Wingdom from Queen Skyla and being transformed into a Sky Dancer, Jade gained the Power Move to turn invisible. She used her nimble movement to attack Skyclone and his minions up close.[2]
At one point, Jade became infatuated with a dancer from the Wingdom, Rudolph Fareev, who had been secretly working with Skyclone. Jade's kindness and strength convinced Rudolph of the errors of his ways, and he helped the Sky Dancers foil Skyclone's plot.[3] Jade also developed slight feelings for Slam over the course of her years as a student at High Hope, though these feelings ultimately led nowhere.
Later, Jade was able to forgive her mother after realizing she was truly apologetic. Jade was last seen visiting Angelica in the hospital after she injured her leg during a performance.[4]
Appearance[]
Jade is a thin teenage girl of Japanese descent. She has long black hair in a ponytail and purple eyes, and often wears an outfit with a purple and light blue color scheme. She wears circle earrings in both her civilian and Sky Dancer attire.
Personality[]
Jade is intelligent and ambitious, and the most analytical out of the Sky Dancers. She was the last of the Sky Dancers to gain her power move as she didn't believe it statistically possible. Jade can come off as cold to others, and a perfectionist who strives to be a professional ballerina like her mother.
Powers and abilities[]
Jade gained the ability to turn invisible from Queen Skyla after becoming a Sky Dancer. She most often has to twirl her body in order to turn invisible, and uses this ability to attack her enemies without worrying about retaliation.
Like all Sky Dancers and denizens of the Wingdom, Jade has the ability to fly using her wings.
