What's Her Race Supposed to Be?

[Tanya-Fan-28]

I always interpreted Jade as being Arabic but ever since 11 some p pl say she's black? I'm happy either way, as long as she's a person of colour, just curious.
This is just a debate, not trying to instigate a lore-war.

Pretty sure she’s Edenian.

Maybe Iranian or somewhere in that area. I feel like outworld is definitely a place where there's a lot of mixed races.

She reminds me of this actress who's Iranian:

Yeah I guess she's mixed race. She kinda reminds me of Chloe Frazer from Uncharted who's Indian-Australian.

Pretty sure she’s Edenian.

Yeah that too lol

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Colombian imo

But yeah, she's dark skin and Edenian.

 

[GothamInGray]

I think it's pretty intentionally ambiguous, but ever since the 3D days, she's seemed black to me.

 

[Resistible]

What does her race matter? She's a female character in a video game. Dark skin, light skin, medium skin, does it really matter?

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Who really cares tho guys??

She's super beautiful!

jade is russian

I was wondering this too because I thought she was African American but they seemed to take her with a more Arab approach this game. My mom is Lebanese and Jade reminds me a lot of her features, but I could also see Jade being from Kenya

Yo when did they change Jade’s model? New patch?

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

Jade is Edenian, period. If you really wanna get into the real world technicalities of it you can look up the actresses who have portrayed her and go with that.

Not this thread again...

In the Move she was played by a Russian Actress.

 

[ZeroSymbolic]

...but what if she's Osh-Tek? She's Older than Kitana and clearly involved with Kotal?

 

[stokedAF]

jade is russian

I thought she was a zoner? I think she looks Hispanic in 11. Black mixed maybe.

 

[MKF30]

She's Edenian.

 

[Espio]

Lol at since MK11. People been saying Jade was black for over a decade.
This is the woman that plays her. It really doesn't matter but if people can make comments about random ethnicities, she is played by a black woman so...... http://instagr.am/p/BlHF8KzHie-/

Oh boy...these never end well.

She is Edenian. That's it. We don't know much about Edenia but considering Kitana, Jade, and Tanya all have different skin tones it could have been a place like Earth where there are Edenians of all different skin colors and other features. Which would explain why Kitana has some facial features that look Asian with white skin, while Jade and Tanya have darker skin tones and don't share the same facial features.
