[edit] Character Profile
Jade is Jackie's Hong Kong-born, pre-teen niece (actually his first-cousin-once-removed, since she is his "cousin Shen's girl") who is already 'Americanised'. She is adventurous, and to that extent, almost always disobeys Jackie's advice to remain in safety, preferring to accompany him to see him fight, and thus gets into - or even causes - a lot of mischief. Just as often, however, her impulsiveness, quick mind and flexible thinking help save the day in situations where Jackie's moderate thinking and sometimes exaggerated caution prove a definite hindrance.
Jade is the founder and de facto leader of the J-Team, though this fact is not acknowledged by the perhaps most important member after her - her own uncle, Jackie. She is also the Chosen One of the Ben-Shui order (proven when she wielded a stick full of the previos chosen ones chi with great proficincy, though she is completely unaware of this fact). This accounts for her considerable skill, energy, and enthusiasm, and for her immense (yet still mostly unrealized) potential in the martial arts, demonstrated when she easily beat up a skilled Section 13 worker called Mickey in the opening scene of the "Tchang Tsu Portal" episode.
In the final episode, Captain Black decides that Jade is to become an agent at Section 13 when she is older. In two episodes, Jade encounters a future version of herself. This future Jade is the head of Section 13, and came back in time once to stop Drago. This future Jade shows her true potential in the martial arts because she is able to be on par with Jackie's fighting skills in this episode. Later on, present Jade traveled to the future and found that Captain Black is back in charge of Section 13 and her future-self has been reassigned to desk duty as punishment for Future Jade's previous unauthorized use of the Dragon Talisman, which resulted in the destruction of a donut shop.
[edit] Catchphrases
Some of Jade's catch phrases consist of 'awww' usually when Jackie won't allow her to do something, 'Hmph!' she just does that when she is upset, 'Tch, duh!' when something is obvious, and 'Go Uncle!' when Uncle does something impressive or when she wants to root for him. Her main Catchphrase is "Hi Jackie" which she says in most episodes, it's usually the first thing she says as she says it when she appears unexpectedly next to Jackie.
