Parents: Jay never knew her biological parents. Due to a vague omen that decreed that any twin born to the Shisui family be "disposed of", it was decided that, as the younger twin, Jay would be the one who would be put to death.
Mother: Unknown. Presumed dead.
Father: Unknown. Presumed dead.
Foster Father: Kansui Nagare - The former captain of the Guard of Shisui of the Violet Tides. After being given the order to to kill the child whose only crime was existing, he realized he couldn't go through with it and instead ran away, taking the girl with her. He would go on to raise her as her father until his death during the Seventh Umbral Calamity.
Foster Mother: Mara Decker - A Hyuran doctor and widow living in Thanalan, she met Kansui a year after his escape from the Ruby Sea. After nursing him and the infant Jay back to health after the two were found near death in the desert, she convinced him to stay in her village. Soon after, the two fell in love and Mara took the responsibility of raising Jay as her mother.
Siblings: Kurenai Shisui - Jay's long lost older twin sister and the current Ruby Princess. She had no knowledge of her younger twin's existence until her mother confided in her on her deathbed. The two would not meet until the events of Stormblood where Jay helped her free the Violet Tides from the Voidsent's grasp and wake Hisui from her slumber.
Foster sibling: Talan Decker - The son of Mara and her previous husband before his untimely death.
Grandparents: None living.
Foster grandparents: Roarich Fairclough - The father of Mara Decker and Jay's foster grandfather.
In-laws and Other:
Haurchefant Greystone - Jay's first and former lover. The two met during the events of A Realm Reborn where the two quickly developed feelings for one another. Jay hadn't spoken a single word since the death of her father during the Seventh Umbral Calamity and it was Haurchefant was the one who helped her begin to speak again. When she felt as though she couldn't trust anyone after the Bloody Banquet, Haurchefant was the only person she could confide in. His death in her arms shook her to her core, causing her to close herself up once again.
Yugiri Mistwalker - Her current significant other. After spending a not too insignificant amount of time with her during the events of post Heavensward and Stormblood, Jay found herself developing feelings for this Shinobi from the East. However, as she was still deeply mourning the death of Haurchefant, she felt as though she didn't deserve to love someone else like that ever again. The only problem was, after the two ambushed Zenos, the crown prince of the Garlean Empire, Yugiri found herself developing feelings for Jay in return. The idea of finding love again scared Jay so much that she began to avoid and shun Yugiri in the hopes that the latter would fall out of love with the former. After a pretty harsh wakeup call, Jay realized how foolish she had been, but the damage had already been done. Their relationship had been strained significantly, but after a deep, heartfelt apology, the two began to attempt to mend their relationship. Jay still hadn't moved on from what happened in Ishgard and she knew she wasn't ready for a relationship yet, but the two could still be friends, or at least be friendly with one another.
Then, Jay had left for the First, where she was there for a year. During her time away, she realized that her feelings for the Shinobi had only deepened in her absence. Upon her and the Scions' return to the Source, Jay wasted no time in traveling to Doma where she found Yugiri and passionately confessed her love to her. Without a word, Yugiri interrupted her with a kiss and the two had been together ever since.
After the events of Endwalker, the two proposed to one another and are now eagerly awaiting their wedding day.
Yunagi and Ihanami - Yugiri's mother and father. Jay met them during the events of Stormblood and later on, she would go visit them personally to ask for their approval for their daughter's hand in marriage, to which they both accepted.
Hisui Sui - Jay's and Kurenai's distant relative and closest confidant of the Ruby Princess. Jay doesn't know her too well, but she was one of a small group of people that was present when Jay's true lineage and her blood relation to Kurenai was revealed.
Pets: She has a pet lesser panda named Tomoe, as well as a mameshiba named Yumi. However, contradictory to how she was advertised, Yumi did not stay small for long. She grew and grew and grew until she got really big. Big enough to be used as a mount, even.

Abilities: From a young age, Jay learned how to use a bow, which she was very proficient in. However, after her father's death, she couldn't bring herself to pick up a bow again for years. Years later, at the start of the Seventh Astral Era, she traveled to Ul'Dah where she learned how the way of the sword and shield from Mylla Stormsong of the Gladiator's Guild, and later, the Paladin Jenlyns. Some time later, under the tutelage of Fray and later Sidurgu, Jay learned how to use a greatsword, as well as how to channel the dark aether within her to great effect. Later still, during the events of Endwalker, she and Alphinaud Leveilleur learned from one another on how to master the set of Nouliths they each received. As someone with a weak connection to the Aether like Jay, they make it much easier to use magic. And now, she has recently swapped out her shield for a second sword, mastering the way of the Viper, as well as learning how to use paint of all things to channel Aether, becoming a Pictomancer. Recently, after the events of Shadowbringers, Jay began to recover from her past traumas and began to use a bow again, becoming a talented Bard.
Hobbies: Jay loves to cook and sing. Every now and again, she'll put on a show for the kids in the Doman Enclave or cook a delicious meal for Yugiri. After becoming a Sage, she also opened up a medical practice where she works as a doctor, curing people of what ails them at no cost.

Most Positive Trait: At this point in her life, Jay is always willing to help out in any way she can, even if it's to her own detriment.
Most Negative Trait: She often doesn't take other people's feelings into consideration when she does things. She doesn't really think about how others would feel if Jay got hurt or worse whenever she rushes head first into danger and when she wants to do something nice, she'll usually just have her own idea of how people would react to what she does. Sometimes it goes well, other times, it doesn't.
