Description

And (of course) here's the fluffy version of Jade's ref. You can't really appreciate her coat pattern with clothes. Also, the patch on her back. She's also very spotty! Something very unique, as the ref mentions, is her eyes. As you know, Jade is blind. She lost her sight at a very young age during the first invasion to Canis Major, prior to Year Zero. However, don't feel sad for her. She is an exceptionally happy Evo, and having this unfortunate incident happen at such a young age, gives her only very vague memories of being able to see.

Unlike some life forms that rely on eyesight, Evos have very sharp senses. Jade's sense of smell, hearing and touch are naturally very strong, and have developed even further to compensate for her lost of sight. Evos also have a very strong sixth sense, which they call instinct. And in the case of Jade, this instinct has somehow fused with her other remaining senses strangely letting her feel her surroundings, the ones around her, in a way that can almost be considered unnatural.

As per studies from her medic brothers and sisters, they have noticed these signals are interpreted by her brain as images. Despite she has absolutely no sight left; not even sensitivity to light, she can somehow "see" images before her. It is in fact her brain forming a three-dimensional figures and shapes corresponding to what's perceived around her by her other senses. She can't explain how these images show themselves, but medics have concluded that it's like darker silhouettes over a darker background.

For other species unknowing of her "disability", they would not be able to tell that she is blind. She moves around her environment and interacts with others as if she indeed is able to see. Only the fact that she pretty much never opens her eyes would be a clue of what's going on. It is strange... but Jade claims that opening her eyes, even though the visual input is null and there is virtually no difference on what she would perceive whether she has them open or not, does in fact affect the way she perceives her surroundings. Opening her eyes, makes her feel disoriented, doubt her surroundings and even temporarily lose her ability to sense the way she does.

Retcans recently found out of Jade's injury and of course, they immediately offered help. Retcans do posses the technology to either regenerate her eyes, or even replace them with synthetic tissue eyes. Surprisingly to everyone, Jade refused kindly. She claims that what she is able to sense, is unlike anything else. The intensity of the warmth she feels from her brother and sisters around her fill her with something that could be interpreted as total ecstasy. Other Evo's scent, warmth, the way their voice gently vibrates in her ears is something she senses in a level that others are unable to comprehend. She is afraid of losing this. She is truly capable of feeling and knowing another Evo in levels deeper than the eye can meet.

Jade spends most of her time very close to Luke and Rika, who are not only her best friends, but also have become her family for more than a decade now. They are her pack. She doesn't talk too much, surprisingly. She can been seen sitting close by, just "observing" with her heightened senses those around her. Smiling, happy and complete. On a side note, apart from Rika and Hasky herself, Jade also helped raise and even nurse Husky and Fx, so you can imagine how close she is to them. Not uncommon for packs of Evos who share a zone. They become incredibly close.
