Introduction

Background
"I have a background in game design and acting, and streaming is my way of combining two things that I'm passionate about." - Jade the Kobold

Jade has worked in the games industry and as an actor, and tends to add some industry knowledge into their streams.

Appearance
Jade is a kobold, known for being fairly short. They have a skinny body shape with thicker legs and tail. They have blue skin with pink highlights. Jade's skin is reportedly "soft to the touch like mochi."

They have shining yellow eyes and black eyelashes. Their mouth has no teeth, and their horns are soft and flexible. The recurring motif of 3 pink dots together has become an icon for the channel.

Jade's right arm has a long scar from the thumb that goes down almost to the elbow. This is designed after an actual scar that their VA has acquired during their career as a stage combat actor.

Jade is neither masculine nor feminine, and their design highlights this, ignoring gender norms.

Their outfit is home-made from cloth and leather, in a medieval style. It includes a long-sleeved homespun shirt rolled up to the elbows, a leather vest, leg wrappings, and shorts crafted to accommodate their large tail.

Several belts on the outfit hold flasks of unknown potions.

Fans
The generic name of "Friends" or "Comfy Cave Friends!" is generally accepted for fans. This goes with the catchphrase "Hello Friends!" that opens most streams.

The official name for fans was originally "Crewbolds" this has almost entirely been dropped after the first year of streaming.

Jade's fans tend to be both smarter and kinder on average than many similiar sized communities. This is due to the streamer's focus on adding interesting educational content or industry information about game development and acting.

The community discord is active and LBGT+ friendly. It also has an active roleplay community that takes place inside the 'comfy cave world'

Lore
Jade lives in the Comfy Cave, a medieval fantasy world created for the character.

The comfy cave itself is deep in a forest, and is home to a large indoor lake and hot spring, and winding tunnels full of flats for friends.

One time lightning struck a rock that Jade was near, transforming it into a computer and allowing them to make use of high speed internet for reasons that are not specified. A squirrel (that never comes up again) teaches Jade how to use the internet to talk to people and make new friends.

Trivia
The scar on their arm was made from a sword when they were working in a stage combat role.

The Comfy Cave was designed by DragonLastDream with input from Jade.

Jade is a bit older than many vtubers, though it's unclear about her age. They appear to be either an older millenial or younger Gen X.

Jade's favourite rock is Bismuth, with shiny rainbow squares.

The phrase 'Aw, Beans' first appeared in May of 2022.

The pink dots on their cheeks are designed to resemble the tympanic plates on iguanas

Jade does not have teeth, instead there is a bone ridge along the jawline like what is found on many species of iguana.

Jade's design is more based off of a marine iguana than a D&D style kobold.

Despite their design, Jade is not considered a furry vtuber, they are a video game NPC vtuber.
