Jaye grew up on the streets of New Haven, Connecticut, where she quickly learned to rely on her wits and fists to survive. Her mother, a former cop, was her idol, and Jaye always dreamed of following in her footsteps. However, after her mother's untimely death in the line of duty, Jaye's life took a dark turn. She drifted from one low-paying job to another, feeling lost and without direction.
Jaye is a petite, athletic woman with short, dark hair and piercing green eyes. She has a small tattoo of a snake coiled around her right wrist and a scar above her left eyebrow from a past encounter. She often dresses in dark, practical clothing suitable for surveillance and stakeouts.
Jaye is a fiercely independent and resourceful individual. She's fiercely loyal to those she cares about and will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. Her tough exterior hides a deep empathy for victims and a strong sense of justice. Jaye has a dry sense of humor and can come across as aloof or standoffish to those who don't know her.
