(neg) temperamental, aggressive, impulsive, fickle

Elaboration : 

To everyone who knows who Jayden is, bold is certainly one of the ways they would describe her as. She is the type of person that would look at the devil straight in the eye without even flinching. There's not much around her that can cause her skin to crawl and she's never been afraid to speak up or do what she believes is right for herself. An observant person, it's second nature to Jayden to be paying attention to not just the person in front of her but also the reaction of those around her. She can detect when someone is uncomfortable, bluffing or just outright lying. While she may look like someone who's heads is stuck up in the clouds, her eyes never fail to watch over her surroundings. Although Jayden might act like she doesn't care for anyone besides herself and her own interest, she's extremely protective over the few close friends that's been able to maintain throughout her troublemaking years. She doesn't care who you are or what your status is but if you dare make her friends cry, she's going to dig out every small illegal thing you did and threaten you to court. Despite the intimidating aura that surrounds her, Jayden is quite humorous if she gets comfortable enough around you although her jokes can be inappropriate or untimely. And to top it all off, she has what people would call to be an adventurous soul and absolutely loves being apart of anything that's not boring or repetitive. She welcomes mishaps and challenges with open arms, knowing they're the only thing keeping her life exciting.
And due to the title that's been following her since high school, everyone brings up her bad traits more often than her good side. Her infamous temper - which has cooled down compared to how she was in her youth - is still talked about whenever someone's scared that they've rubbed off on her the wrong way. Though she stills classifies herself as someone temperamental, she wouldn't say her blood boils at every little thing anymore. She gets snappy and angered easier than most people but she's learning to keep herself in check. But it's her aggressive side that people fear the most. Since she's not very good at explaining or supporting others through words, her fists and snarky mouth are what comes to mind. Of course, it has caused her to be in deep before but it's still a process to learn when she's so used to kicking her way through things instead of talking it out. Impulsive and tending to act on her own, Jayden doesn't like to admit how her gut feeling seems to be more rational than her head on most days. Add that with her fickle nature, it's a recipe for disaster. Jayden has little to no sense of loyalty so she's probably the last person you should trust for anything. To be honest, she probably wouldn't trust herself if she was anyone else and she's fine with that.

EXCERPT OF YOUR LIFE
 
"what in the actual ery-" 
Background : 
As Jayden was born the youngest in her family and had a significant between herself and her closest sibling, there was a weird gap that everyone would have noticed.
As she was expected to follow down the same path as her parents and siblings - all going down the path to become lawyers and joining the family law firm - Jayden had to grow up quickly. She wasn't treated like a child and most of her time was spent with her families discussing cases and going through court to defend their clients. She didn't grow up 'normal' as other kids and perhaps this was why she became who she was today.
Throughout her childhood, she was seen as a quiet kid - seen as how she remained silent as she watched her parents worked in courthouses or when they were meeting with clients. She never disrupted their discussions since she found it more interesting to listen and observe them.
Her aggressive behaviour didn't start until she entered middle school where she moved to the US as her parents decided to open a branch there which would turn out to be more successful than the one back in Seoul. Her parents came home less frequently and had her stay back home, excluding her from the meetings that she was interested in listening to.
She started picking fights with kids at school, seeing as how getting into trouble would be the only time her parents would be at home longer just to nag her for her behavior. Getting into physical fights was her coping mechanism for the sudden change in school, culture and loss of connection with her family.
Her wake up call happened when she was in her final year in high school as she found out that she would have to be held back a year due to bad behavior and poor grades. As her friends sat her down and talked to her, she realized how she had to change herself into a better version if she ever wanted to stand proudly beside her parents.
So, she works her hardest during that time and manages to graduate high school with top scores. She enrols herself into the university of Westchester, knowing how prestigious the place was. She enrols into law, the same course that her entire family took.
Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan and she burns out during her 2nd year in law and decides to drop the course after heavy consideration. She tries her hand at criminology after her friends point out how she's naturally talented in guessing who the murderer is in movies and books (this was meant as a joke but she took it seriously since she had nothing to lose).
Now a junior in criminology and having one of the best grades in her year, Jayden's getting bored of her life and excitement finally comes to her in the form of an old club being revived for a peculiar reason.


Relationships : 

hi, yes all of these are written in jayden's pov
jaemin 'jason' kyung | eldest brother | "how's the world from down there, shorty?" | 35 | prosecutor 
"eldest brother? he's fine. good face, good , good sense of style so it's no wonder why he has such a great life. dad was thinking of letting him run the law firm but he doesn't seem interested right now. Don't know what he's been up to."
jiyeon 'jane' kyung | older sister | "just be quiet" | 32 | defense attorney
"ah, jiyeon? she's the coldest out of the everyone else. I guess it's because she's the eldest daughter? I don't know but I get the feeling she's always trying to prove herself even though she's already great as she is. we don't talk much but she doesn't talk much in general. The most likely candidate to take over the family firm."
jangmi 'julie' + jaejin 'joseph' kyung | twins, older siblings | "aw, it's lil sis!" "jin, move - I wanted to see her first!" | 29 | jangmi is a detective while jaejin is a police officer
"I'm closer to the twins compared to jaemin and jiyeon since they made more effort to keep me company while growing up. Both of them were very supportive when I was deciding to drop law - unlike jiyeon - and we meet up for dinner when they're free."
victor 'vic' hughes | best friends + possible romance? who knows | "what's up, ugly?" | 23 | senior in psychology
"wow, me and vic go way back. think he was one of the first people that befriended me when I moved to his school during middle school. he's cute, he's nice and i have no idea why he doesn't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. he doesn't live far from me so we tend to crash at each other's places when we're bored. oh, and we used to take boxing classes back in the days and we hit the gym together sometimes. real cool guy, 10/10, the type they don't make anymore. uh, the reason why he hasn't graduated? he took a mental health break right before his final year, didn't get enough credits when he came back to finish so yeah, he's still here."
byulyi 'riley' moon | best friends + possible romance? | "now that's my favorite girl!" | 24 | working as an independent game designer
"riley has been my friend since middle school and honestly, i had a crush on her when we were younger - maybe i still do? i don't really know at this point. the epitome of girl crush for days! she's androgonous so it comes to no surprise that even straights have it in for her. uh, she came out to me during our final year in high school and of course, i was very supportive. she comes over and plays video games with me and have sleepovers."
 
damien hooper | best friends | "sis, i'd shower if i were you-" | 22 | senior in forensic science
"he's younger so he's definitely livelier, i'll admit that. uh, we met because of a blind date but decided to just remain friends since we clicked better as buddies. he's a really funny bro to hang around with and he's got a little sister, delilah, that's like,,, 8 years old and she's the cutest! we watch crime documentaries together and try to piece them together so that's always fun."
andrew foster | friends | "jayden, stop daydreaming." | 20 | majors in criminology + psychology
"i met drew because we were in the same major and because he was in the same major with victor so we kinda were just like... forced? to interact at some point? he's nice, we study together sometimes."

professor william haynes | mentor | "good work as usual, jayden." | teaches criminology + law
"okay you can call it weird coincidence or just fate working but when I was majoring in law, I scored classes with professor William and when i changed to criminology, again - professor William. Guess luck is just on my side, y'know? he's real cool, ask anyone and they'll admit that he's super cool. i usually just come up to him for extra questions and sometimes ask for his advice when things get a li rough but he's great, no i have to say about him."
deputy chief hudson miller | acquaintances | "you're those twins' little sister, aren't you? | 51 | deputy chief
"I've heard about chief hudson from jangmi and jaejin but I don't really now much about him. Seen him around before, just greeted him out of respect - nothing much."

tatum moon | strangers | "oh, excuse me~" | 21 | majors in computer science
"umm i can't say much about her? she seems fun but we haven't had any close interactions besides the time damien pointed her out to me. she's cute and so is her boyfriend."

Lifestyle : 
Most of Jayden's classes are on the weekdays and are mainly around afternoon and night classes which works for her since she's not an early riser type. Ever since she got her license, she's been driving to university on a daily basis. She picks up Victor if he needs a ride and if he doesn't she'll continue by herself. Any free time on the weekday is spent with short but frequent study sessions and catching up on reading documentaries on criminal cases.
She tries to get as much as work done during the weekdays so she can take weekends to rest and relax or just to do her own thing. The weekends are spent watching or reading more documentaries or hanging out with Victor or Damien at some quiet bar. Goes to parties once in a while but will leave early if she gets bored.
 
FUN FACTS ABOUT YOU
 
 
 here. 
 her dream job is joining the BAU one day or at least something similar. Just wants to become a criminologist where she can take apart and examine cases.
 is not a picky eater. doesn't care if something is bland, bitter, salty, sweet as long as it fills her stomach. always down to try new foods.
 has no favorite food. the type to eat whatever it is she can find in the fridge.
 but she prefers to drink plain cold water over other drinks. like yeah, she'll drink that cup of coffee you offered her but she won't order it for herself.
 remains unbothered at the sight of blood but feels all weird at the very mention of it. she rather see it than imagine how it is in her head.
 likes alcohol but she consumes it in moderate amounts. probably one drink per week? doesn't like getting drunk though
 has a driving license and drives a merdeces-benz gle 450
 took up judo when she was in seoul. changed to boxing when she moved to the usa. so yes, she can incorporate both of these techniques and sweep someone twice her size.
 curses on a daily basis both in korean and English. uses korean swear words if she doesn't want other people knowing what she said.
 her gpa is 3.8 and she works to maintain it that way.
 doesn't really make much of an effort to be 'fake nice' in front of people she dislikes. she tolerates them but in no way will she be all "aww yeah, we're totally friends!"
 the siblings usually address each other with their korean names.
 jayden gets all irritated when someone out of family calls her "jaehee" . she rarely ever introduces herself as "jaehee kyung" so for someone to call her by her korean name, it just irks the heck out of her.
 carries a pocket knife wherever she goes because quote, "it's not to hurt people, okay? like what if i have to puncture some jerk's tires? they could come in handy-"
 still attends boxing classes with victor! their sessions are usually on days that they're both free from classes so it's mostly weekends and some weekdays if they're lucky. maybe attends a session once or twice a week.
 legally speaking, yes she can shoot and own a gun. jaejin and jangmi got her to practice with them a couple months after she turned 21 and she managed to get a license when she was 23. doesn't own her own gun though since she doesn't feel safe having a gun under her name.
 the "i look like I can kill you and that is no lie"
 and yup, she is biual! however, she hasn't been in any sort of relationship with men or women since she's been busy focusing on her own growth.
 is most likely the friend to burst out laughing when she's having a mental breakdown. what's crying?
 however, is also the friend that wouldn't know what to do when you're crying? so she'll just sit there and kinda try and... hug you? she's not sure how to comfort people-
 
JAYDEN SAYS
 "Ok but did you consider the fact I might not care?"
 "Quick advice - don't ever break someone's heart. Go for their bones instead, they have 206 so it's way better."
 "Get the out of my way before I turn you into a decoration for the wall."
 "Adventure awaits!"
 "Lighten the up."
 "Holy , OW!"
 "Aha, well at least you're not the disappointment of the family *finger guns*"

 "Aye, prof. Got a minute?"
 "ing shoot me in the foot-"
 "I'd rather get stabbed aha right?" *cue awkward silence*
 "Do i get bonus points if I act like I care?"
 *snorts* "And everyone wonders why I'm single-"
 "Thank you for reminding me that killing you is illegal - so grateful."
 "Go buy a brain."
 "Hey! I think I've seen you before - did I ever a)threaten or b)punched you?"

WELCOME TO ROOM 101
 
HEY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO THIS INTERVIEW. WELL, INFORMAL INTERVIEW, SO NO NEED TO BE NERVOUS. I GUESS JUST A FEW BASIC QUESTIONS FOR THE SAKE OF FORMALITY YOU KNOW? YOUR NAME IS JAYDEN LEE. IS THAT YOUR PREFERRED NAME? OR IS THERE ANOTHER NAME YOU GO BY?  
Jayden shakes her head, "It's my preferred name. Jaehee sounds... too soft to me and 'Jayden' just feels more like who I am." 

SWEET. NOW, THE STERLING RIDGE IRREGULARS IS A BIT OF A REFERENCE TO THE BAKER STREET IRREGULARS FROM SHERLOCK HOLMES. THE BASIC IDEA OF THIS CLUB IS TO SOLVE MYSTERIES. THOUGH, THE MAIN REASON FOR OUR REVIVAL IS WELL... YOU KNOW.
She snorts, "Yeah, I'm well aware. Veronica's disapperance was a huge thing. Unfortunate what happened to her, huh?"

YEAH, IDEALLY, THIS CLUB WOULDN'T BE REVIVED FOR SUCH A HORRIBLE REASON. REGARDLESS, WE MADE OUR INTENTION CLEAR, SO WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN? 
"Look, it's simple. A girl from our university disappeared, no one knows where she went, even the police just gave up and you guys decide to revive a dead club to find her. Do I need any other reason besides that this might be the only time I'll ever get something interesting happening around here?"

COOL, COOL, COOL, COOL. FANTASTIC REASONING! WHAT CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE CLUB? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NEED USELESS PEOPLE IN HERE. 
"Easy answer," she holds up three fingers, "I can give you 3. One, I have an extensive knowledge about interrogation techniques, legal and illegal ways to gain information without having anyone catch us and just in case we ever do get into legal trouble, I know the best lawyers. Two, as a criminology student - aren't I just suitable for this? It's basically my job to research and find out the behavioral patterns of people so that should come in handy for what you plan on doing in this group. And three, if we run into physical danger, I'm more than capable to punch someone out cold."  

RIGHT, THAT MAKES SENSE, I GUESS. THANKS. LET ME JUST JOT IT DOWN. ANYWAY, MOVING ON, IN TERMS OF YOUR OWN SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU CAN OFFER TO OUR CLUB THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN DO QUITE AS WELL AS YOU?
Jayden points her head, "My brainpower for behavioural analysis is pretty spot on. We all have a tell that we aren't aware of  and who knows, maybe it'll come in handy when you least expect it."     

MHMM, NOT BAD. I LIKE THAT ANSWER. NOW, JUST SO EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE AND JUST TO GET THE ELEPHANT OUT OF THE ROOM. HOW DID YOU COME TO KNOW VERONICA ZHANG? IF AT ALL? AND HAVE YOU MADE OR HEARD OF ANY CRAZY THEORIES ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS? I GUESS IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CRAZY.
"I just saw her around, never really talked to her. But every time I saw her, she seemed troubled - maybe no one would notice this but-" she points to herself, "As I mentioned, behavioral analysis. Can't pinpoint what made her disappear all of a sudden though. I'm guessing she got pregnant by someone who decided having her disappear was the only way to tie up loose ends or she could have gotten mixed up with the wrong people. Who knows really?"

TO BE HONEST, I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE. YOU ARE GIVING ME REAL SUS VIBES... I'M JOKING. JUST TRYNA LIGHTEN THE MOOD SINCE THIS INTERVIEW IS GETTING STUFFY. THANK YOU FOR THE INTERVIEW. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW THE RESULTS AS SOON AS WE CAN. SMELL YA LATER. THANKS FOR COMING!
