Jael (pronounced /dʒˈeɪɛ̩l/) is a complex person, she is kindhearted and soft spoken most of the time. She's sincere and playful and flirtatious, though she can be egocentric and focus on herself but maintains a good witty sense of humor to defuse situations. She can be discrete but has a rebellious streak to buck against the rules. She's intuitive with people and likes to use her wit and flirty nature to get a few things she wants along the way. She loves excitement but has a darker side, her temper. Jael is known for her temper from those who know her well, quickly flipping a switch from her kind and easy going self to an angry, aggressive, and even savage being when cornered. Her Celestial blood gives her this kindness mixed with an incredible beauty but her Dragon blood gives her a temper always just under the surface and ready to strike. If they cross her, she'll make them pay with their blood.
The duality of her different sides keep some people guessing and very often those who see her at the local tavern or walking down the street underestimate her and her abilities. She is a fighter and a survivor, better the other person's blood coat her weapons than her own coating theirs.
Special Skills
Jael is exceptionally perceptive of the world around her, having trained herself to notice even insignificant details around her and paying attention to the subtle signs when things aren't quite right. She's stealthy, able to be quiet when a situation calls for it and can be a bit intimidating even given for a woman of her beauty. Along with her skills and knowledge in survival, dungeoneering, and the arcane arts she's quite the useful party member.

Background
She woke up with no memories in an insane asylum after being cared for unconscious for a good amount of time. She left the asylum, heading to the nearby small fishing town of Thrushmore where she met the party (who had liberated the Asylum while she was unconscious) and agreed to work with them.
Jael enjoys games and being out in nature. She’s friendly, gentle, but when she’s angry a darker side comes out and she can turn very sadistic and unstable, shifting wildly to different levels of anger. Growing up her friend, Jamie, wanted to be a Knight and they often spared together. It was here that she first noticed she’s special, that she has a hidden bloodline going back to Blue Dragons. She went into a rage sparing with him and almost killed him.
She’s fit and slim, always playing at various sports games where she tends to be generous with her opponents (unless they make her angry), she has a reputation as someone to step lightly with when she’s angry.
Growing up up in a wealthy merchant family, the family kept a tight lid on the fact that her father was often drunk. Jael didn’t find out until adulthood that this man wasn’t her actual father, her mother wasn’t sure where her father was, the man had “come from the heavens” is all her mother would tell her about the man. That he’d come from above and that he was the most beautiful and graceful man she’d ever seen. She’d met him a few weeks before meeting the man she ended up marrying and never saw the him again.
