So... here we go.
Oh goddess, this is gonna be embarrassing >.<
To kick things off, here's the original concept picture for Jade:
I imagined her as a lithe, quick, acrobatic thief character, with light leg armor similar to Ryu from Ninja Gaiden Black and skills like the Prince from Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I'm guessing that's where I got the dagger idea from; the dagger still remains as her preferred weapon. Also note the snake armband, which is there in most of her outfits and versions (it's a Slave Leia reference).
Better picture:
So, during one quirky roleplay, Jade ended up adopting an Ordon goat named "Gary" as a pet. Gary's main personality trait was that he's dumb as a post, but big and floofy. I can't remember if that ever went anywhere...
Jade started off as a Hylian thief in the Twilight Princess era of Legend of Zelda. She had a fortified cave in the outskirts of Hyrule field as a base, and had honed her thieving skills to the point that she mainly stole for fun.
Also, the mask always stayed on, at first. Eventually, after pressure to see her face, it came off:
Now for the embarrassing part (first one, anyway). One of the other roleplayers was playing as Link, and sort of had a thing with Jade... it started off mainly as banter, snark, and arguing. This Link was characterized as an "asshole", so basically the Link who people play as instead of the Link the game wants you to be: smashing pots, stealing rupees, and generally making mayhem. It kind of worked XD
Also, subplot about Jade stealing Epona's blanket because she thought it was cozy (and needed a soft blankie, being a lonely thief and all)
Then I started thinking about Jade's backstory, and I'd really wanted to make a Gerudo character, so I decided she was a half Gerudo who couldn't fit in with their society because she's been born with black hair, blue eyes, and pointed ears (though it seems like they have pointed ears anyway in some of the post-OoT incarnations).
First step was to design a Gerudo-y outfit for her (which she generally wore to tease Link with her hawtness :3)
Further backstory stuff: Jade's mother, Kalila (never drawn) was also genetically weird for a Gerudo, and ended up leaving the tribe to live in Hyrule Castle town with her husband. The two were poor and lived on the street, and ended up dying at some point while Jade was a child. Jade grew up as a street urchin, building her thieving skills until she became competent enough to steal a life for herself, setting up her base out in Hyrule Field so she could get away from the city.
Kalila's mother, Jade's grandmother, Oodanu, eventually came back into her life (mostly to tease her and try to convince her to rejoin the Gerudo; who, because of the TP timeline, had moved deeper into the desert by that point, while Oodanu came back to watch over Jade).
Jade ended up relocating to a cave in the desert (following an RP session in which EVERYONE's characters were running rampant in her field cave o.O). Pretty sure I actually did a diagram of the cave's layout, but I can't find it now, so whatever...
Eventually, Jade and Link hooked up, had a kid named "Shaera" (name chosen by a Hylian name generator), and moved back to Ordon. Jade turned the blanket into a skirt:
Jade and Shaera: (note the blending of her thief and gerudo outfits)
And after that... not a whole lot happened. RP plots would consist of Jade and Link having shenanigans, arguing, then fucking.
[End Part 1]
