Jay Brightfield

Jay Brightfield is one of three protagonists in the 2016-present Fight Club Roleplay and the in-the-works musical.

Appearance
Jay has striking green eyes, pale skin with light freckles, and curly blue hair. She's about 5'1, and has a willowy, boyish figure.

Personality
Quiet, of few words to anyone she doesn't know well, but if you tease or scorn her for her gender preferences, she'll hurt you. Badly. Is fiercely loyal like Atari. Deals with pain internally, doesn't like to show weakness. Very protective of her friends.

Background
Jay was assigned male at birth, but has not ever felt completely male. When she was five and played games with Atari, Atari would be the knight or the dragon and Jay would be the princess. Most of the kids found Jay's preferences normal until around third grade, when all the stereotypes hit. Jay was constantly shoved around for being "weak." At home, her parents, especially her father, would pressure her to get into sports and "be more like a man."

In fourth grade, she began self-harming to try and alleviate the feelings of depression and dysphoria. Around the same time, she learned the terminology "transgender" and immediately knew that that's what she was. She talked to her aunt, Aria Sol, who worked with transgender youth on a regular basis. Aria secretly started Jay on hormone blockers. Jay would spend a lot of time at Aria's house until Aria was killed in a motorcycle accident when Jay was eleven. She continues treatment at the practice where Aria worked.

She came out as male-to-female transgender to everyone else when she was thirteen, first to Emmet and Atari, who were immediately supportive. A week later, she came out to her parents, who kicked her out of the house after trying to get her to change her mind. She currently lives with Atari's family.

Family
Phillip Brightfield -- Jay never had a positive relationship with her father, as he tried to make her more like him from a young age. She has an especially rough memory of him trying to get her to stop showing her emotions by screaming at her when she cried.

Hester Brightfield -- Jay had a slightly better relationship with her mother, mostly due to the fact that her mother let Jay watch her when she put her make-up on in the mornings, thus teaching Jay how to do it for herself. However, once Jay came out, this practice was quickly abandoned.
