Let’s talk about Jaime Rocio Rosales
Jaime is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting characters in TDA, and probably one of the most mysterious ones. I always had so many questions about his past and how he was portrayed through other characters.. so I would really want to try and crack that enigma open.
1. The main thing that always bothered me about him was what Diego said about him: “He is my brother, but he is—He was born with something missing, I think, some piece of his heart where compassion lives..” It’s a harsh thing to say, not something one will do lightly, and we never got an explanation to why he said that.
From the outside, he seemed perfectly fine.. a bit rebellious and mischievous, but there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, one of the things that made me see him in a really good light is his relationship with Dru.
He always had respect for her, and even after he found out about her age, he had such honor in him to be by her side while she went with her family to try and save Emma and Julian. He never treated her like he only needed things from her.. he was kind - and kindness speaks volumes.
His relationship with Diego was also a beautiful one: the way he tried to make him laugh even when he thought he was about to die, the way he cared so much when he got hurt in the final battle. Plus, let us not forget about his strong will and endurance in face of death for a cause that he truly believed. All of these things show us a kind, funny, strong young man.
So why did Diego said those things about him? The choice of words is extremely strong, and didn’t seem random to me.
2. The second thing I was wondering about is Jaime’s tattoos - we know he has many. We don’t know much about him, or them.. but once Dru read that one of them said “La sangre sin fuego hierve” which means Blood boils without fire. Wikipedia said it “Comments on the strength of blood bonds”.. that made me wonder - who, or what is it about?
Jaime seemed to care a lot about his family honor. He even “planned” to betray Christina, or at least blabbered about it while he was drunk, so he could restore his family’s honor. But is that what it’s about?
Or maybe Jaime had a bond with someone? We only knew how close he was with Christina, and I don’t see him having a tattoo in honor of their relationship - they were supposed to be Parabatai, and that’s supposed to be more than enough. Maybe he did it after she left? But not her nor Diego made any comment about his tattoos, which probably means they already knew about them.
We also know he was secretive and used to disappear for long periods of time.. maybe the source of this particular mystery lies in one of his solo adventures?
3. The last thing, and that’s something that people already speculated about.. was that slight interest he showed in Kit and Ty. Was it because he knew something about them? Was it because he found one (or both) of them attractive? Was it because he had seen their connection and it sparked something in him? It definitely made many of you ship him with Kit, or de-ship him with Dru (and let’s not get into the age issue).. and even though I’m not sure it was meant as a shipping hint, I definitely think it wasn’t a casual comment.
There are no true answers to any of my questions, and Cassie never answered any of my asks about him.. but the fact still remains - Jaime is one of the most mysterious characters in TDA, and I can’t wait to find out what his real story is.
