Description: Jaera is a mousy girl with generally unkempt, dirty blond hair that she pulls back in a pony tail. Since her return to Rubi-Ka she has taken to wearing nicer clothes than the old tee shirts and pants she used to wear.

Personality: Jaera is often called ditzy, and seems to suffer attention deficit issues (which is why Jeyin takes to calling her Blondie). She can be overly energetic and easily distracted when bored. When given the chance, Jaera is also very lazy, content to browse the gridstreams, watch holo vids, or frequent chat rooms (which is why Gwylion prefers to give her little downtime.

Jaera, while a master at programming, hacking, and building computers and networks, is a disaster toward all other things electronic. She feels compelled to take apart, rebuild, re-purpose, or improve electronic devices, appliances, and vehicles often to disastrous ends (for the device). Jaera refuses to hear protests that she doesn't know what she's doing, citing the few instances she managed not to ruin the device.

Background: Jaera is the only child to entrepreneur magnate Edward Magistrale (previously ranked 45th wealthiest entrepreneur) and Miir Marketing VP in Pleroma's system Rebecca Kithridge. Growing up without a single want, Lida embraced technology and self mastered computers and networking. At about 12 years of age, she joined the hacker group Ko0l Kidz, until 29473.

Jaera is not her real name, instead a bastardization of her original middle name (all records of which have been hacked and updated with Jaera). She hates being called Lida (something only her mother does) and prefers to distance herself from her family's wealth.

Worried that their daughter would become nothing more than a socialite, Rebecca leveraged contacts with the Omni-Tek corporation to land Jaera an internship with the company. In addition, Edward and Rebecca sealed off Jaera's trust fund and accounts, requiring her to earn her way.

While working at Omni-Tek, Jaera was transferred to Rubi-Ka. Jaera spent most of her time hacking or watching holo flicks, creating programs and hacking data feeds to appear like she was doing her job. During her hacking excursions she discovered Omni-Pol alerts regarding Jeyin Matusz and contacted the errant soldier via the grid under her grid avatar identity, WhiteIC.

For a time Jaera provided hacking and logistical support for Jeyin, including providing the codes and protocols to aid Jeyin in stealing an top secret OT prototype fighter. Jaera engaged Sol Banking fleet operatives in cyber warfare inside Rubi-Ka's solar system, using adaptive AI and a her wealth of skills, with a penchant for creating chaos.

When Jeyin was killed in space, Jaera was devastated and refused to believe Jeyin was gone. Working with Alcyone Kincaid, Jaera retrieved Jeyin's body from space and together developed a means to resurrect her.

Shortly after, Jaera's meddling had been detected by members within Omni-Tek Internal Operations, but given her status as the daughter of Edward Magistrale, OT InternOps could not take direct action. Instead they leaked false information to the Clans, resulting in Jaera's apartment in Omni-Entertainment being destroyed in a bomb blast (among other low key targets). However, Jaera was absent at the time and escaped unscathed. She resettled with Jeyin (now under pursuit by OT and the ICC) in Borealis.

In Borealis, Jaera continued her friendship with Alcyone Kincaid and become known as Jeyin's little sidekick (which Jeyin vehemently denies).

When the plot of Laurena Sunadir manifest, Jaera joined the team to thwart her attempt to tap the source. Armed with a device that should destabilize a Notum stream by Alcyone, Jaera joined Jeyin and the others in the mission to the Perpetual Wastelands. However, Sunadir was ahead of Jaera's group and deployed The Demon, to delay interference from her plan. By the time Jaera and the others arrived at the Source Geyser, it was already being tapped. Alcyone's device could only be used safely prior to the event, so Jaera joined with Elesan to attempt to flank Sunadir while Jeyin distracted her. However, Rhena using a device given to her by another group, dove into the geyser and sacrificed herself to seal it. When the geyser started acting up, Jaera tinkered with the device Alcyone gave her hoping it would make it stop. Instead, it flung Jaera and Elesan approximately 10 years into the future.

Jaera has since resettled in Rubi-Ka (after a number of misadventures in Clan territory), becoming friends with Elesan. When she had resurfaced, Gwylion tracked her down to reveal that Jeyin lived. Jaera and Gwylion concocted the plan to create JJE&G (which Jaera named), and Jaera roped in Jeyin and Elesan to participate.
