Profile
Jade was renowned for her work, it being precise with little to point fault at. At times, however, her judgment was often rash and several other seraphim held negative opinions of her because of this. Thus she tended to keep to herself where possible, holding back her opinions but relaying them to Caitlin who offered advice that felt much more palatable to the others.
She worked quite closely with Franz to design many of the species found within the lower world, developing their internal organs, instincts, habitats, and ensuring that the dynamics between fauna (such as prey and predator) would be suitable such as to maintain a sense of balance. She found it quite difficult to move to the lower world as the complexity of the natural world had become so large that no other seraph would be able to take over her role, were she to leave. With this, she altered the effects of the flourishment essence. Now it was possible for different organisms to sense disruption to the balance of their species and alter their habits accordingly. For example, if a predator became too abundant fewer would reproduce until their population declined. In addition, small changes to an individual's flourishment essence would occur during a reproductive cycle allowing for evolution to occur.
As the ability she had to manipulate her essence was much greater than that of the other Seraphim, it allowed for her future descendants, to manipulate this essence much more easily compared to the others. Thus, those with the ability to manipulate the flourishment essence are known to have great abilities to heal. Franz never intended for such an ability to come from this essence - deeming the ability to heal unnecessary for organisms to have. However, after seeing humans cry for many years and wondering why she gave herself a nervous system in order to see what pain felt like. As expected, it wasn't a very pleasant experience, and for the sake of organisms within the lower world (and herself), she forced the flourishment essence to permit healing.
Her close friendship with Caitlin eventually pushed her to move to the lower world and was one of the things they were unable to initially reach an agreement on. In addition to the latter mentioned issue, Jade also felt at home with the order and stability of the upper world - there was a clear structure and that was comforting to her. But once Caitlin decided to leave the empyrean realm there was very little reason for her to continue working. No one could provide the positive reinforcement she needed to keep going and the new seraphim, created in Caitlin's place, could only provide vapid statements of awe.
Essence & Fountain
This essence is responsible for the growth of both flora and fauna, distinguishing itself from the essence of youth by having adverse effects if increased in a system. The amount of essence within an organism is innate to the individual and increasing this beyond the base level will cause aging in the system to halt and then reverse. This can sometimes be observed due to physics effects (such as aging of the skin or musculoskeletal system) but usually causes mental effects. Individuals are likely to lose their memories and possibly motor functions if increased sufficiently. Removing more essence from an individual already at the baseline is incredibly difficult, but will slow down bodily functions including those necessary for survival. In one case cells began losing their ability to quickly respire, leading to death.
Protection of this fountain is unnecessary as humans understand it to be a 'Toxic' material. The protector of this fountain instead acts to prevent organisms from dying were they to consume too much. This is unsurprisingly quite a common occurrence, given the pristine state of the fountain and its innate ability to attract fauna. Jade's fountain is in close proximity to Caitlin's - such that many humans believe that both fountains were produced by the same being (one more powerful than those who produced the other fountains).
This fountain's trial is quite simple but takes a lot of time for many to complete. It requires taking a simple plant and forcing its evolution along a path to produce a specific long-extinct plant. Each stage of its evolution must be carefully controlled such that it reaches the correct goal as it is disallowed for the Cherub undertaking the trial to start from the original plant once they have failed.
