Uncharted, Vol. 1
Uncharted is a column in which I discuss underdeveloped concepts and characters.
This is Jedda Gordon, who just might be the least famous member of her very large family right now. Interestingly, she was the first heroine introduced in DoE storytelling, but fans haven't written a great deal about her.
Of course, Marzena kind of did in a couple of her tales -- The Story Begins — Original Pilot and The Prince of Mongo -- which were supposed to present Jedda with a different name. Instead, those stories ultimately created an entirely new character (which was a good thing).
So what do we know about Jedda? She's a courageous member of the DoE, who mainly fights alongside fellow teens LJ and Kit. Her father is a famed space explorer and a skilled fighter pilot, which means that Jedda might be fond of aerial adventures herself. She has the power of telekinesis, possibly making her part alien, or the recipient of something that imbued her with the ability.
Rumor has it that she and Kit have romantic feelings for each other, which is complicated by the fact that he has a girlfriend back home in his village. Further complicating matters is Jedda's unexpected affection for Princess Castra, her secret ally in the team's battle against Ming -- who happens to be Castra's father.
Homosexuality and bisexuality haven't really been examined much in DoE tales, and I imagine that this bond would be a fascinating one.
Is Jedda Gordon something of a lost legend? Not quite. Fans still know who she is. She's just someone with a bit of untapped potential.
