INFJ-T
Although she helps others on a near-constant basis, she doesn’t come across as a nice person, as she has a tendency to make people worry about her what with her antagonistic reaction to befriending people. Regardless, she is very polite (overwhelmingly so). Jade isn’t necessarily bad at making friends and she doesn’t have social anxiety, as her choice to keep everyone away from her is a conscious decision. When she does make friends, however, she bonds with them easily, so it’s more of a case of whether you’re her best friend or you’ve never spoken to her. The case is more often the latter. She’ll never drop a conversation with someone who has been misinformed/has a "wrong" opinion until they see the truth.
Introverted- avoids having relationships (platonic and romantic) like the plague because she doesn't want them to suffer from grief when she dies
Creative- Indulges in the above hobbies, especially drawing, to distract herself and has improved skill-wise over the centuries of experience
Organized- likes to have control of the things she can control, dislikes disorder
Insecure- emphasis on this part, sees herself as an abomination, a blatant mistake

Drawing, arts and crafts, baking, gymnastics, ballet, reading, playing violin

Good at giving advice (though she often doesn't follow it), can play piano duets with Alex, also plays violin, proficient when it comes to domestic work/chores because of centuries of experience

Thinks that people need her help, "negative pride" - thinks she has to bear the burdens of others to make life easier for them, even when they outright tell her they don't need her help, kind of like thinking you're worse than everyone else but simultaneously doing anything to make others better? Idk, it's like how pride is when you think you're better and constantly belittle others but subverted? Idek if this should even go under prejudices, because it's kinda like a reverse-prejudice because she thinks that everyone's better than her, UNLESS a certain person spouts lies and negative opinions of people she cares about/admires, then she'll go ballistic

WAAAY too altruistic, bad at socializing, reclusive, antisocial, pushes people away by nature, can be painfully mean and blunt when it comes to the truth, nearly antagonistic toward any sort of friendship, independent to a fault and never bothers to ask for help (however badly she needs it)

Obligation to help people, feels need to "redeem" herself for the deaths on her hands, wants to keep Max alive

Taps her foot when arguing with someone, tends to spin or hop while walking from dancing experience, rambles when happy, right-handed, uses the weirdest idioms and metaphors (e.g. “I have the willpower of a dead parrot”)

Widely omnist

Believes that the best government is a fair one that does not lie to its people, no matter how terrible the truth is

Previous Everlasting, spanned from around 1998 BC China to 1348 England, Black Plague. She was the first successful Everlasting/Life Outlet. Her given name was Fèng Jiayù but she changed it to Vivian when she moved to England because she was being hunted down by those who coveted her immortality. Death was also in need of an Outlet, and she became the first successful Phoenix/Death Outlet, reincarnating every 15 years. She's lived almost everywhere through her reincarnations. Over the years, she realized how emotionally damaging her deaths have been to others, as her friends before she died were also children who would have an extremely difficult time coping in comparison with adults. She changed from an optimistic, friendly girl into a recluse, trying to sever ties with anyone who attempted to befriend her. Jade is her current incarnation. Her past significant selves:
Vivian, a sort of mage because of her immortality (around 500 AD)
Hope, cause of her pyrophobia (burned in the Salem witch trials in 1693)
Cordelia, raised on the seas by Rebecca as a sister (killed in 1723)
Lily, middle-class Victorian girl who fell in love with Alex (died in 1873 of tuberculosis)
Molly, befriended Hunter, the only real best friend she could be completely honest with (subway crash in 2008)

None

Jade is very pyrophobic and has a hard time being near any sort of fire.

Although they don't interact too much, Jade finds Zack very... overwhelming. She's amused by his outgoing personality but is also worried about his recklessness. Whenever he tries to talk about being a Life Outlet, she makes sure to cut the conversation short. However, she greatly appreciates him for being her friend- not her best friend, but not a total stranger, as she’s never had someone who knew her but didn’t know her intimately.
