OUT OF THE GAME Tall, sporty, and androgynous, Jenny was never the good little Chinese girl her parents wanted her to be. Her Mandarin sucks, she dropped out of vet school, and she never did make it far from good ol' Houston, where Mom and Dad still live, before her car broke down. It's not her parents' fault, and it's not anyone's fault. The only thing that's anyone's fault is getting stuck on the hit reality show spinoff "Survivor: Kids" as an adolescent and getting put in a living Lord of the Flies hellscape. There's a reason the show never made it past the first season and was quickly cut from the network. Jenny spent months out in the Canadian wilderness fending off black bears with immunity idols. Needless to say, the show was cut early on after a series of child-fueled accidents and she was sent home mostly intact, but the experience rubbed off. Jenny's a survivalist. Zombie apocalypse, Soviet invasion, it's all legit and all just a matter of time. She doesn't bother renting an apartment— who knows when she's gonna have to take off to avoid the cops or her parents or whoever-the-hell else. Instead, she lives out of a camper she tows behind her friend's pickup, which allegedly he's going to come back and collect one of these days.

INSIDE THE GAME How else do people combat seasonal depression? Jenny runs a scantily clad mysterious ninja character on UNOVR, who would probably be as cool and badass as she imagined if she could actually play her without old survival instincts kicking in. Even with her pain settings set to Reduced, Jenny can't seem to convince herself that nothing bad will ever happen to her. Big monster? Oh fuck, run. Big Pokemon? Run from that too. Small Pokemon? Well, better be safe, you guessed it, bail out fast. Jade has no interest in big plots or raids or pursuing whatever. UNOVR is like a fancier kind of air conditioning for her (she doesn't have any in the camper van.) Sometimes she sleeps in-game literally because it's more comfortable than sleeping outside of it. Then at night, she wakes up and goes to work. She named her character after the liquor shelf (Jade and Jagermeister). That's the plan, anyway. Jade never counted on her fatal flaw coming into play— she can't walk away when someone needs help. Hurt Pokemon, people who need her, doesn't matter. Cursing, sweating, scared for her life, Jade will always come through in a pinch. 'Can't say no' is her fatal flaw, and while she tries to take life easy while she's here, what's a virtual life for if not throwing it away on genuinely terrifying adventures? Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that.
