Some Evidence in Favor of Jade

One thing I've constantly seen in Jade hate posts is the idea that she's trapping good and innocent people like Aventurine and Topaz and chaining them down to the IPC.

But I actually think it's this act--choosing Aventurine and Topaz to be her proteges--that tells us a lot about whether Jade is a fundamentally bad person or not.

First, it's key to understand that Jade is in a significant position of power within the Stonehearts. When Diamond chooses not to appear, it's often Jade who goes in his place and acts as his voice. When it comes to making administrative decisions on who will get to join the Stonehearts, Jade had a direct hand in supporting Topaz's ascension (by accepting recommendations) and an even more direct role in Aventurine's ascension, choosing and testing him for the job herself.

So Jade is a character with enough power to have a strong say in who gets to become a leader in the IPC. She possesses enough authority and trust from Diamond to catapult a wanted murderer like Kakavasha straight up 45 ranks in the Star Rail universe's single most powerful corporate entity. She helps to decide who rules.

And who has she picked with that power?

Aventurine and Topaz are both good people. Although they'll do whatever is needed to advance the IPC's aims, they're both essentially kind-hearted and unwilling to put others at unnecessary risk. They both deeply value friendship and exhibit many of the other positive traits one associates with heroes--loyalty, generosity, gentleness, and honesty. Topaz takes a hit to her own reputation and rank to protect Belobog. Aventurine, infamous for high-stakes gambles, specifically spells out that he absolutely refuses to cheat his way to victory.

In an organization that is otherwise known for the literal colonization and extermination of civilizations--in an organization that puts wealth and material value above anything but their own god--in an organization with people like Obsidian who literally want to turn things into a bloodbath--Jade's top picks are both quintessentially good characters.

She is extracting value from them. She is profiting from their work for the IPC.

But Jade had the power to promote complete monsters into the Stonehearts. She could have picked heartless, profit-driven villains who would have forwarded the IPC's goals at the expense of the human element entirely. She could have promoted more evil into an already evil organization. But she did not. Jade chose to support two disadvantaged young people who had clawed their way up from the bottom while still maintaining their principles. At least two of the Ten Stonehearts are people the Trailblazer can associate with without extreme moral guilt, thanks in part to Jade.

The people that Jade chooses to throw her support behind mean something. Topaz and Aventurine's presence in the Stonehearts indicates that Jade is capable of not only recognizing goodness--but has actively chosen to elevate (at least relatively) moral people into positions of authority. This act, choosing to promote and support inherently decent human beings, speaks greatly to Jade's sense of who deserves power--and, from there, to her own sense of justice.

Just something worth thinking about, I feel.

this information has been taken from people who read the novel and I refuse to hear criticism to which is I identify as my opinions and thoughts.

Spoon read the novel, said 'nope, this won't do' took the rights to wmmap and created a comic SPECIFICALLY turning Jennette into a good hearted character who just wants a family to spend her life with.

What wmmap and sibapod people don't understand, is that Jennette was redeemed for a god-damned reason.

(though Claude's just as shitty though)

You can't talk without realizing the maybe LP!jennette wasn't awake due to the poison to defend her 'sister'

Or what if (bastard)Claude forbade them from properly interacting with each other and Jennette truly believed that the girl she wanted to meet her entire life truly poisoned her.

I can't speak on novel!Jennette, but I that alot of people agree that novel! Jihye/Athy were bitches deserving to burn in hell fire (I read a few lines and KNEW)

And if you don't consider that possiblity and just hate Jennette, then that's fine but don't go hating on people who love Jennette.

NOVEL JENNETTE IS NOT WMMAP JENNETTE.

But I personally love wmmap Athy.

Ahh but it's so Jennette coded

Athy in this outfit would make heads turn, and countless people offering to carry her umbrella for her...feeling like this Athy would answer to the cute nickname, "Lady Angel." by a... certain someone.
