Jett

Background/Backstory

Jett hails from South Korea, with possible links to the Insa-dong neighborhood in Seoul. As a chef in her early life, she was involved in an incident relating to her wind-like radiant powers at the restaurant she worked at, causing a "freak storm" that all but destroyed the building. She fled the scene soon after. Later on, Jett would be recruited by the VALORANT Protocol to become its tenth agent. Whilst working for the Protocol however, an incident occurred in Venice that destroyed part of the city. When authorities issued warrants for the arrests of the perpetrators, one of them was revealed to look exactly identical to Jett. Though Jett herself had nothing to do with the mission, the rest of the world now believed that she was a threat to them. She couldn't explain that it wasn't her to those she know outside of VALORANT, unable to even understand what was going on herself, and it left them feeling disgusted, horrified, and ashamed at her, forcing her to go on the run once more. It has since been understood that the lookalike was actually a mirror version of herself from another Earth, clearing Jett of any wrongdoing. Unable to reveal any info associated with the VALORANT Protocol however, and unable to convince anyone of her innocence in a population that knows nothing of alternate Earths, to the rest of the world Jett remains one of its most dangerous radiants.

Personality

The wind is commonly known for being cool, but Jett is an aggressive agent who has a distinctive, sarcastic personality. Jett also has a cheeky, childish "in-your-face" attitude, seen commonly giving insults for feats she makes on the team and is always spouting her sheer amount of arrogance. Her self-confidence may feel as if she is disregarding her comrades' safety, but she has recognized that it is best to play with a team, albeit with some reluctance. She does show a much more friendly personality towards teammates. Her youth is apparent as she animatedly chats with her allies, and she can sometimes spitball whenever she's excited to share ideas. However, Jett is often only like this in order to create a healthy rivalry between her and her fellow Agents, whether it be Duelists like Yoru/Phoenix or Sentinels like Sage/Killjoy, she uses her aggressiveness and arrogance to improve herself alongside her peers. Of course, she doesn't mention this, so to her peers, she seems to be someone who can talk shit but can back it up.

Appearance

Jett is a fair-skinned, short young woman, being the smallest of the VALORANT agents other than Neon, a Filipina agent. She has white hair, which she ties in a bun on the back. Her bangs are rather long and remain stably locked. Her eyes are a shade of blue, and she looks like she wears eyeliner. Jett's armor has multiple symbols associated with wind such as the swirl on her right shoulder pad. Her blue, sleeveless jacket features a stylized depiction of the Tailwind logo through some clouds. The icons on the backs of her gloves is the same icon on the lip of her hoodie and bottom edge of her crop top. A sash and two kunai can be seen along her right hip belt. Jett's shoes have a triangular whirl on the outer side of the heel and a smooth "V" stamped on the back heel. When using her Radiant powers to manipulate the wind, whorls of white air wrap around Jett's arms as markings which can seen in game and in the cinematics.
