i think jade is one of the best executions of the whole "real human being, emotionally reacting to life in a cartoon world" concepts that i've ever seen. being the world's specialest girl who got to be raised by a demigod dog on a tech billionaire's deserted island, who desperately wishes she had a normal childhood in a normal world. and is also one of the strongest people to ever exist. it's a real "what can the girl who 'has everything' do when she wants something no one can give?" arc, especially towards the end of act 6.

being a lonely/'different' child makes "becoming a normal adult" often feel like an unreachable goal. being in homestuck, it kinda literally is, so it's been interesting seeing how she handles growing up. we know that candy is generally the "worst case scenario" for all characters, but meat jade has a lot going for her, still. no mediocre marriage, freshly out of a love triangle, all the time in the world.
