“Jade’s a Bone Reaver. I don’t know what that makes her now. Conflicted, I imagine. Anyway, they’re throwing a party to celebrate her return.”

Day 11: Cast Member

Ruby Cruz

(Ruby Cruz with Robyn Betteridge, who plays young Kit Tanthalos)

It's not just that Ruby Cruz brings Kit Tanthalos to life, imbuing her with the spark of life and love. It's that behind the scenes she seems to love her cast mates, and just generally enjoys the project.

I mean, look at this goof. She's having more fun at work then I've had at amusement parks.

Favorite Character: Jade Claymore

It took me about one second to know I was going to post about Jade being my favorite character (Kit is an extremely close second).

Jade is so special to me. From the first scene, she has so many expressions and emotions that Erin portrays perfectly (she has the best expressions the whole show). She drew me in immediately. I think a big part of why Jade means so much to me is that she’s a knight, and she’s so obviously in love with her princess, she’s a character I’ve always wanted to see on screen. Jade is a main character, she is a leader and very mature. She had to grow up fast, and I can relate to that in my life. I had to repress a lot of what I was feeling. She also has a playful side that I love!!! She’s loyal, smart, strong, and so brave. Oh and also GORGEOUS!

Jade literally got a scene where she just got to blatantly check out her girl! I mean, what?! 😍

I’m even more excited about how her storyline continues. If we get another season, I’m most intrigued by her dilemma of duty vs love, and her struggle to balance everything.

Willow Month 2023: Day 1 - Favorite Character

Please.

Ok, more seriously, it's absolutely and 100% Jade. There are myriad reasons: I love this kind of character who's duty-bound but wants things outside their duty, I love a character who has principles and sticks to them and reveals that Principles Can Be Good, Actually (I feel like so often these characters are just revealed as hide-bound, not the case here!), and I think Erin Kellyman did a great job performing Jade. I was hooked by her and her obvious yearning for Kit from the first time she flicks her eyes down to look at Kit's lips while Kit isn't watching her...like 20 seconds into the show.

(Because I didn't hear much about the show before watching, that moment also made me sit up straight and say, aloud, in an empty apartment, "Wait, are there lesbians in this Disney+ show?!" which is very funny.)

I wish we'd gotten more of Jade throughout the show, to be honest. I was fully onboard for this to be the Jade Claymore and sometimes Kit Tanthalos show, and while I understand why it wasn't, one thing that makes me sad about not getting Season 2 is that it sounds like they were intending to give her a little more to do, especially around her history and her discovered family with the Bone Reavers.

Does her sword-staff-glaive-thing make any sense as a weapon no not really but this is a fantasy show so far more importantly it looks dope as fuck and that is the primary thing a weapon derives efficacy from in this universe. ;)
