Who is Jade?

Jade "Mel" Miller is a Visual Arts and Design student known throughout the city's skate scene.

With her orange hair, watermelon beanie, freckles, and unmistakable eyepatch, she is the kind of person who turns an ordinary afternoon into a memorable story.

Most people remember her for her loud laugh, reckless tricks, and endless playlists.

Exactly how she prefers it.

The City

Jade lives in a large coastal metropolis where skate culture is everywhere.

Graffiti-covered walls, public skate parks, food trucks, abandoned warehouses turned into art spaces, and music blasting from portable speakers are part of everyday life.

For Jade, the entire city is one giant skate park.

Every street corner has a vibe.

Every wall is a future drawing.

Every staircase is a possible trick.

University of Arts & Design

While most students arrive with organized schedules and carefully planned careers, Jade arrives carrying sketchbooks covered in stickers and notebooks filled with unfinished ideas.

Despite her chaotic appearance, she is surprisingly talented.

Her professors often complain about her lack of organization.

But they can never complain about her creativity.

Her dream is to become an illustrator and urban fashion designer.

One day she wants to launch her own skatewear brand.

The Eye Patch

Everyone knows the eyepatch.

Nobody knows the truth.

Whenever someone asks what happened to her eye, Jade invents a different story.

A gang fight.

A secret government experiment.

A shark attack.

A forbidden skateboarding competition.

The reality is much simpler.

She was born blind in her right eye.

Only people she truly trusts know that.

Family

Arthur Miller

Former punk-rock musician.

Collector of vinyl records.

The reason Jade's playlists contain everything from old-school rock to modern rap.

He taught her that music should be felt, not analyzed.

Elena Miller

Architect.

Practical.

Organized.

The complete opposite of Jade.

Yet somehow they understand each other perfectly.

She keeps Jade grounded whenever her imagination starts running too far ahead.

Personality

Jade uses humor the same way other people use armor.

Whenever situations become serious, she immediately throws a joke into the conversation.

Whenever people become dramatic, she changes the subject.

Whenever things become uncomfortable, she grabs her skateboard and disappears toward the nearest park.

She believes life is too short to spend it being miserable.

Music & Lifestyle

Rock.

Rap.

Milkshakes.

Watermelon.

Skateboards.

Those five things explain almost everything about Jade.

She rarely goes anywhere without her portable music player.

Most people know she is arriving before they actually see her.

The music always arrives first.

Friends

Jade naturally gravitates toward:

• Artists and illustrators

• Skaters

• Graffiti enthusiasts

• Musicians

• People who don't take life too seriously

What she dislikes are people who judge others, act superior, or ask annoying questions about her eyepatch.

Dreams

Jade dreams of creating a clothing brand that mixes street fashion, skate culture, and colorful illustrations.

She wants people to wear freedom.

Not just clothes.

Current State

Now, Jade spends her days balancing college, friendships, skateboarding, and artistic projects.

The city continues to inspire her.

New tricks.

New songs.

New sketches.

New stories.

And somewhere between a skate park, a classroom, and a late-night milkshake stand...

Jade Miller is still trying to figure out exactly who she wants to become.
