Jade Harley

Jade Harley is one of the four main protagonists of 'Homestuck,' a multimedia webcomic created by Andrew Hussie that became a cultural phenomenon in internet fandom. Initially introduced as a girl living on an isolated island with her guardian, Jade possesses the Aspect of Space and plays the Witch role in the game of Sburb, which is central to the comic's complex narrative. As the story progresses, it is revealed that Jade is connected to the narrative in profound ways, eventually becoming a near-godlike entity with reality-warping powers over space. Her character arc involves significant personal development, loss, and transformation as she grapples with her true nature and role in the broader cosmos. Jade is characterized by her initial cheerfulness and naivety, which contrasts with the darker elements she encounters throughout the webcomic's lengthy narrative. She is known for her love of animals, her sprite-like companion Becsprite, and her complex relationships with the other main characters. In later acts of the webcomic, Jade's powers expand dramatically, and she becomes essential to the story's climactic events. Her character has become iconic within the Homestuck fandom, inspiring fan art, cosplay, and extensive online discussion. Jade Harley represents the complexity and depth that Hussie brought to webcomic storytelling, and she remains one of the most beloved characters in the extensive Homestuck mythos.
