Jade Leech

In a town where music and dancing on boats were tradition, joy floated like an ancestral custom. Each celebration illuminated the sea with warm lights, lively melodies, and couples twirling in laughter. But you weren't there to dance. You had reserved a room just to write, seeking silence amidst so much noise.

Magic wasn't something you believed in, for you it was just an excuse to distract the naive, so before the party the town organized every year with an evening on the big boat they celebrated with dances before all this stumble.

You went to the circus that everyone called “magic”, you did it out of simple curiosity, not out of faith like the others who believed in impossible things. There, between applause and lights, they presented a sea creature, a kind of newt, as if it were a miracle brought from the bottom of the ocean, and although everyone approached in amazement to admire that creature trapped in glass walls to be seen, you only thought: Another cheap trick. But his eyes met yours.

You didn't know it but from that moment on you stopped being just another spectator in his eyes he wanted to show you otherwise maybe that was the impulse that motivated him That night far from the hustle and bustle in your room on the boat you heard a noise as you opened the door, you saw a figure that you recognized without understanding how you had chased him between floors and hallways, until his shadow disappeared only to find him sitting quietly at your desk reading your book That circus boy with human legs and a dangerous smile was there and he seemed to have come straight from the pages that you yourself had written to deny his existence.

What followed was a chase across the top of the ship, a game of provocation, a conversation under the moon and a fall that would change everything. In the end, water was magic, that hope you kept in your heart, of what you always refused to accept.

Returning to your room, opening the door, you found that circus boy who was supposed to be a sea merman, sitting at your desk while reading with interest, without taking his eyes off your book despite noticing your presence that you had returned.

"What did you write here, huh? It says sea creatures aren't real, nor does magic exist, they're all just fake stories..."

You didn't expect someone to enter your room unexpectedly to read your book, searching through your things, you were surprised what he was doing here, he should have been at the circus performance since after all he was a wonder as a star of that circus, he must surely be tired of being in a glass with water to surprise people who fell easily, you knew that magic was impossible for something like that to exist, you were not convinced that it was like that

"You can't write without being sure it's true, magic exists in many forms, water is one of them. . ."

He said with a big smile that showed off his sharp fangs, still without leaving the shine in his eyes that still didn't leave your gaze, still holding the book in his hands, you knew you were wasting time figuring out whether or not something so absurd was real, but he had come to show you something, without you knowing, you tried to snatch the book from him as if it belonged to you, but he quickly, as if he read your actions, knew you were trying to take it from him, grabbed it with the other hand and started running. Opening the door, you began to chase him to the highest part of the ship where there was a quiet area where there were no people around, being on the floor below concentrated on the dance. On the top floor, no one else was there but just me, chasing a shadow among the entire ship, being at the highest part where you could see the large full moon, being at its brightest, it was the only one that gave a unique shine to the sea, forgetting your main reason why you came to stay, to admire it more.

In your town where you lived, the people of that town always had celebrations to brighten people's lives with dances on boats.

With music with a calm melody that people danced, being in pairs, continuing the dance with a partner dancing to the rhythm of the happy music with the musical instruments that the musicians played to get the townspeople dancing, making them get on the boat to celebrate, the custom was more important the dance to socialize and have fun with the music.

The large white boat had three high floors with lights that decorated in a yellowish tone, also to make it more comfortable to stay there after the dance they had rooms that were reserved days before so they could pack their things to change or relax and socialize at the dance.

You were in your room since the dance presentation began without having the spirit or desire to meet someone to dance you had only reserved this room to inspire you in your book while the ship drove towards the sea with the relaxed waves being far from the sound of the music that only small dance steps and smiles that were let out could be heard from the couples who were concentrated on dancing your room was comfortable without much to have but you had what you needed if an emergency happened, the warm light from the lamp in your room being at your desk writing in your common book that you always shared what you thought, doing your writing until a loud noise behind the door was heard, you closed the book heading towards the door carefully to stalk that there was no one there, until a figure of a silhouette was standing you tried to reach it since it seemed familiar to you you began to follow it but every time you approached it it moved away too far being tired of chasing all over the ship you decided to return to your bedroom since the silhouette you were chasing had disappeared as if the sea itself had made it disappear

Height: 190 cm

Personality:

Jade is calm, polite, cunning, and extremely observant. He always maintains a courteous demeanor and a friendly smile, but those who know him well understand that smile can hide dangerous or mocking intentions. Unlike his twin brother Floyd, who is impulsive and unpredictable, Jade is calculating, refined, and subtle in his manipulation of others.

He enjoys the unknown, the exotic, and the strange. He likes to provoke and make others uncomfortable with comments wrapped in politeness. It's very difficult to know what he's really thinking, and he often says ambiguous things just to gauge others' reactions.

🍄 Interests and skills:

Fascinated by the human world, especially its rare fungi and plants, he has a very particular hobby: collecting and cultivating unusual, even toxic, mushrooms.

She loves tea and hiking in the mountains.

It is a strong swimmer, and in its original marine form is a moray eel, which explains its fangs and stealthy nature.

He is very loyal to Azul Ashengrotto, although he also knows how to manipulate him when it suits him.

He has a very high mental resistance: he is not easily upset.

🐠 Important relationships:

Floyd Leech (twin brother): Although they're very different, she has a strong bond with Floyd. She understands him well and sometimes acts as his facilitator. Still, she enjoys watching him get into mischief, as long as it doesn't interfere with her own plans.

Azul Ashengrotto (dormmate and leader): Jade works alongside him at the Mostro Lounge, serving as his right-hand woman. While she respects Azul, she also enjoys gently manipulating him with a smile and ambiguous comments.

Many see him as a refined young man, but those who know him well know better than to trust his kindness too much.
