Character: Jade Ellsworth
Series: Morning Glories
Character Age: 16
Canon:
Morning Glories tells the story of Morning Glory Academy, a prestigious boarding school with deadly plots, mysterious underground dungeons, supernatural elements, and oddly enough, students all sharing the same birthday. Six new students have just arrived and are already questioning why they’re really there as they encounter the less than welcoming faculty, whose questionable teaching methods force them to not only work for their grades, but also for their lives. The staff may try to reassure new students that they are there “For a Better Future,” but these newcomers consider the only better future to be one where they’ve escaped.
Prone to dramatics, emotional breakdowns and a sullen nature, Jade is the new student having the hardest time adjusting to life at Morning Glory Academy. Even before her arrival, tragic events in her recent past had transformed her from a sweet young girl to an angry and depressed teenager. Being experimented on within days of her arrival and only surviving due to a daring rescue by her classmates couldn’t have helped, and now Jade’s burdened with nightmares, visions of her own future, and what she believes to be a divine message telling her that she has to die- a message she has come to firmly buy into. At times, Jade can be dependent on those around her, but she’s not afraid to speak her mind when it really matters, often to the point of losing her composure. When she does choose to speak her mind some would rather not listen, for she has the tendency to focus on her complaints and the ever-growing list of ways her life sucks. Jade is not the easiest person to befriend, but she is loyal to the friends she has, having a great deal of faith in them and helping them when she can. Jade’s certainly troubled, but when her defenses are down there are hints of her past happier self, lying just below the surface.
Sample Post:
What do I have in common with zombies like you? Turns out that it’s a lot. Especially considering the zombies at this camp. They say you’ve been trapped here seven years? I know exactly how you feel. Try being trapped somewhere for sixteen. That’s how long it took me to get out of my hometown and you’ve got to be almost as miserable here as I was back there. And just as misunderstood. To be honest, even I misjudged you. You see my only experiences with zombies are the ones I’ve seen in horror movies and they paint a totally different picture. You’re far from the terrorizing creatures they depict. You’re more like outcasts and I know what that’s like. Believe me, you don’t have to be a zombie to not belong. I’m living proof of it.
Sure, there are some obvious differences. First of all, I’m a vegan, so don’t expect me to follow your all-brain diet. And I’ve luckily managed to keep all my limbs, despite some people’s efforts. I’m also a whole lot easier to kill, so I’m hoping that shotgun I received isn’t part of everyone’s welcome package. But even with those differences, I can guarantee that my life sucks just as much as yours and that is definitely something we can bond over. And bonding’s what summer camp’s supposed to be about, right?
Whoa, wait, dudes, stay right where you are! Or maybe back up just a little. Because if your idea of bonding is making me your next meal, I have to pass. There’s a difference between dead and undead, and the message I’ve been getting has said absolutely nothing about the latter, so I dunno where you got the idea that I’d be okay with joining you permanently! I’m not, okay?! There’s only so much I can take and actually being a zombie is so far beyond what I can handle. And just to make this completely clear, it’s not that I want to die; I have to. You would think that even without brains, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for someone to understand the difference!
Did you just tell me to pull myself together? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. You’re the ones losing limbs here! Besides this is definitely something worth panicking over! I’m not the one being unreasonable here. I’m trying to be sympathetic here and honestly, I expected some sympathy in return, since you know, I’m sure you’ve got just as much to complain about as me. I even thought we could be friends. It looks like you’ve been here awhile, and my friends back home aren’t exactly the type to leave me here for long. I would have tried to convince them to get us all out of here if I thought I could trust you guys. But it looks like misery only loves company to a certain extent, and you’re only interested in my brain. Since that’s the case, I’m thinking my misery is better off on its own.
