Jade is a tall and physically fit young woman with purple eyes and long, dark purple hair tied with a red hairband in a ponytail that goes past her back and a fringe parted to the right side of her face. She wears a light green-colored halter top attached to a choker with a metal ring over a black midriff-baring tank top and a light green leather wrap over a pair of black short shorts. On her hands, she wears light green bracers and black fingerless gloves, and she also wears a pair of light green high-heeled boots that reach up to her knee.

Jade's flashing kicks are said to be unmatched in terms of power. Her elegant beauty and dignified personality indicate that she may be more than just a skilled warrior.

==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 warrior, and befits her role as a martial artist. Martina was a 3rd-century patron saint of the city of Rome.

Her localized name, Jade, is derived from the ornamental stone of the same name, which is used in jewelry and artwork. It is also a shade of green, which fits as the majority of her outfit is colored green. Jade was greatly valued in Asian countries. Confucius believed that jade had properties encouraging bravery, honesty, and purity.
