Jade (マルティナ, Marutina^?, lit. Martina) is a character in Dragon Quest XI. She's an expert martial artist and the traveling companion of Rab, who places the safety of the Luminary above all else.

Appearance and Personality

Jade is a beautiful and physically fit young woman with upturned purple eyes and long dark purple hair. Her hair is tied with a red hairband in a high ponytail that reaches her knees and has a fringe parted to the right side of her face. She wears a light green-coloured halter top attached to a choker with a metal ring, over a black midriff-baring tank top. A light green leather half-skirt, open at the front, reaches to the top of her similarly-colored white-laced high-heeled boots that reach up to just below her knees. Underneath, she wears black short shorts. On her forearms, she wears light green bracers with white laces, and black fingerless gloves on her hands. She prefers wearing clothes that are alluring or emphasize freedom of movement.

Jade is a serious woman who is dedicated to protecting the Luminary no matter the cost, and carries a dignified air about herself. Due to a past incident in her youth where she was not able to save the infant Luminary, Jade harbors sombre feelings in her heart and occasionally speaks in a blunt, cold manner. Despite these incidental slips, Jade is very soft-spoken towards others and quickly becomes friendly with the rest of the party after joining the group. She is closest to Rab due to the years they have spent wandering Erdrea and training together, and acts like an older sister figure to the Luminary.

Jade's flashing kicks in her skillset are said to be unmatched in terms of power and, through her training with Rab, are a personalised take on the martial arts teachings of Angri-La that also incorporates the use of spears. Jade's arsenal is augmented by her body as well, being fully aware of her figure and putting it to good use with the skills she learns via the Allure section of her character builder.

Story

Act One

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content

Jade is first met under the guise of a wandering Martial Artist, but she is in fact the missing crown princess of Heliodor and daughter of King Carnelian. She is the one who saved the Luminary from assassination during Mordegon's assault on the castle sixteen years ago during the meeting of kings to discuss the fate of the newborn, having wandered off from the royal banquet after becoming bored and spent the evening playing with Lady Eleanor, the infant's mother and Queen of Dundrasil. The Queen gives her son to Jade in order to flee the castle safely when the monsters attack, acting as a decoy to give the girl time to escape. Jade is able to the the Luminary's cradle basket out of the castle grounds, but becomes separated after the basket is pulled down a waterfall and is herself fished out of the water by Lord Robert shortly afterwards. The two refuse to believe the Luminary has died, and wander the world to search for him - though she is initially unaware of her father's possession by Mordegon, the two recognise King Carnelian's strange behaviour in calling the Luminary a blight on the world, and Jade does not return to Heliodor. She is presumed dead by most of Erdrea.

Jade and Rab scoured the world for any signs of the Luminary while training together and trying to find out the reason behind Dundrasil's demise. The duo kept a low profile, with Jade often pretending to be a wandering dancer as she grew older. She finally meets the Luminary in the Masked Martial Arts tournament at Octagonia as a fellow combatant; she first sees him when the pairings are drawn, where her number (8) and his number (11) are paired up, but Rab whispers something to the announcer and the pairings are redrawn so that Rab and Jade are together for the competition. She later sees the Luminary a second time after the first round of the tournament, having defeated Erik and his unnamed partner in battle, walking towards the party and interrupting Erik and Veronica's bickering. She warns the Luminary to keep an eye out for his partner, Vince Vanquish, who she and Rab suspect may have something to do with the disappearing MMA fighters of Octagonia as of late.

The night before the grand final match with Vince and the Hero, the aforementioned have a talk in the lower level of the Orphanage, before hearing commotion in his bedroom. There, Vince and the Hero find that his room had been ransacked by a mysterious someone, with many vials scattered on the floor. The day of the battle, Vince pops a vial and drinks it like usual, and Jade and Rab exchange knowing glances. In the battle, the Luminary guards with his hands crossed, and the pair stop their attacks when she sees the Mark of Light on his hand. The day after the battle, Jade goes missing, and the award ceremony is postponed. Rab requests the Hero for assistance in finding her, and the party finds a big hole in the lower level of the Orphanage that leads down to the Caverns Under Octagonia. There, in the west-most chamber of the caverns, blocked off by a door, they find that Vince is carrying an unconscious Jade in his arms, offering her as a sacrifice to the giant spider monster Arachtagon. She wakes up just as the party arrives and tells them to fight off the spider while she releases the other trapped MMA fighters in the room. The next day, at the award ceremony, a staff member announces that the award has been stolen - the note left behind reads that the party should meet Rab in the ruins of Dundrasil.

There, the party figures that she is the long-lost princess of Heliodor. After a ceremony, Jade and the Hero are split from the other party members by wandering Heliodorian soldiers and they encounter Hendrik, who forces the Hero off a crumbling cliff. Unbeknownst to Jade, her cries for Hendrik remind him of little princess Jade many years ago, and he figures out her true identity. Jade takes his faltering stance as an opportunity to dive after the falling Hero, to Hendrik's dismay, as she vows never to let go of him again after the incident years back. The Hero wakes up in the nearby cottage, where Jade had dragged him to, and they share a heartfelt conversation next to the fireplace before leaving to reunite with the other party members. Hendrik catches up to them, and Jade properly engages him in battle, but is too weak. However, her scared stance on the floor reminded Hendrik of a young princess Jade crying, and he skids to a stop before he can hurt her. She takes the opportunity to knock him off his steed and ride off with the Hero, leaving Hendrik behind. When they make it back to Dundrasil, they reunite with the others and properly joins the party.

Act Two

After The Fall of Yggdrasil, Jade is blown to the Dundrasil Region and begins methodically saving as many people as she can before returning to Octagonia following rumours of monsters having taken over the city. She successfully helps a citizen from monsters before makeing headway into destroying the source of the madness in the upper story of the central building, where the Arena for MMA fighting used to be. Unfortunately, she catches the eye of one of Mordegeon's Spectral Sentinels, Booga. Although disgusted by the beastly buffoon's advances, Jade is pressured to put on a seemingly normal blue bunny suit he calls the Hare-raising suit; if she refused, the people held captive in the area would be mauled by his two war gryphons. When she puts on the suit, Booga has his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend and self-proclaimed sweetheart Boodica banish everyone expect him and her to Limboo, though Jade is accidentally sucked into Limboo while trying to save a civilian. After learning about Limboo's strict rules by the discouraged various MMA fighters from Act One, she takes the place of Golden Boy's punishment of fighting 100 monsters, but is instead forced by Boodica - enraged by jealousy - to fight in the Girly Burly, a sequence of monster trials for women that she deems "naughty". When Jade fights through all the "Boodiful" monsters, she is confronted by the female jockilles Boodica herself, and is forced into a grueling battle with her and her two wrecktor bodyguards. However, Jade is accompanied by the other MMA fighters that arrive at the scene, inspired by her determination to escape, and apologise for their earlier dismissal. The world of Limboo collapses and the fighters all jump out of a crack in the air, leading them to the main casino area where Jade musters up the last of her strength to confront Booga. However, the curse placed upon the hare-raising suit kicks in, turning her skin grey and the suit black, and she becomes Booga's personal bunny girl.

• This scenario is only present in the S: Definitive Edition of the game.

When the Luminary and co. arrive to rescue her, she attacks them. After being defeated and watching the party crush Booga in turn, Jade is released from the curse and gets the last word in on the monster's life before dispatching him for corrupting her. This grants her the Re-Vamp skill, which temporarily turns her into the red-eyed, fanged version of herself for a substantial power boost. Rejoining the Luminary, Jade participates in the assault on Mordregon's Fortress of Fear.

Postgame

Warning: Spoilers!
Click expand to view content

After the Hero travels back in time, Jade meets her "father" at the World Tree, but is suspicious at his interesting and not-at-all fatherly reaction to her return. That night, when her "father" tries to steal the Super Sword of Light from the Luminary but fails, the whole castle is alerted of this when the sword clatters to the ground and he grunts in pain. Jade is the one leading the rest of the party to the Hero's room, bursting open the door to see what was going on which confirmed her suspicions that he - or, his mind at least - was not actually King Carnelian. When they confront him at the Throne Room, Mordegon reveals himself, and the party takes him down. After his defeat, the King is released from the possession of Mordegon and the two have a proper reconciliation.

After the events at Havens Above, talking to King Carnelian will prompt a request for him to talk to Jade in private. After the interaction, he will gift her a golden tiara.

Etymology

Jade's original Japanese name, Martina, is the feminine form of the Roman name Martinus. The name ultimately derives from Mars, the Roman god of war, and befits her role as a martial artist. This is also referenced in her outfit "The Minerva"; Minerva is the Roman goddess of war. Martina was also a third-century patron saint of the city of Rome.

Her localised name, Jade, is derived from the ornamental stone of the same name, which is used in jewelry and artwork. Her name also follows the Heliodorian naming scheme of precious stones (like Jasper, Carnelian and Heliodor). Jade is also a shade of green, which fits the majority of her default outfit as it is coloured a light shade of green. Jade was greatly valued in Asian countries, similarly to how Jade (the character) is a princess. Chinese philosopher Confucius believed that jade had properties encouraging bravery, honesty, and purity.

Trivia

• Jade's favourite foods are sweets.
  • Her innermost wish is for a type of sweet that she can eat in abundance with out worry of gaining weight.
• When stressed, she enjoys burning incense to take her mind off of things.
• Her most beloved possessions are the hairclips she gathers on her travels.
• When she was a little girl, Jade was fascinated by the tragic love stories of sailors and mermaids after being read a story about them by Queen Eleanor of Dundrasil.
  • Having lost her sickly mother shortly after being born, Jade grew close with the queen (who effectively became her mother figure) and would be inseparable when she and her husband would visit Heliodor on official business.
• Jade is 165 centimeters tall, or 5' 4". Her age is not stated and is said to be "a prized secret of Heliodor"; however, she is likely in her 20s. She is seen speaking fluently to Queen Eleanor as a child in the Dundrasil flashbacks seen in Act Two, which is a character trait only observed in children above the ages of 4-5. As Dundrasil fell at least sixteen years ago (on the day the Luminary was born), it is safe to say that at the very least she is 20 years old.
• Outside of general plot importance, Jade and Rab likely won the battle against Erik and his partner in the MMA tournament due to Jade's skillset being focussed more on consistent damage output, whilst Erik's is based on heavy set-up for large returns. In an MMA fight, Jade's fighting style would have the upper hand.
• In the international fan poll for Dragon Quest XI that was released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Jade was voted the most popular female character in the game and the third most popular character overall, with a total of 606 votes.
• It is revealed in Dragon Quest Tact that Jade has a pretty huge sweet tooth. This also serves as the big weakness of her's that Mindini was trying to uncover.
• Each of the Luminary's companions represents one of the classes in Dragon Quest III. Jade represents the Martial Artist.
