Jade (Beyond Good & Evil)
Jade is a fictional character and the protagonist of the action-adventure video game Beyond Good & Evil. She is a photo-journalist, and was created by Ubisoft developer Michel Ancel, with the goal of creating a character resembling a real person, rather than a "sexy action woman". In Beyond Good & Evil, Uncle Pey'j, a half-pig half-human, work together to rescue orphans they were taking care of and expose governmental corruption. Jade returns in the adult animated series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, voiced by Courtney Mae-Briggs.
