Jade is a fictional character and the protagonist of the action-adventure video game ''Beyond Good & Evil''. She is a photo-journalist, and was created by Ubisoft developer Michel Ancel, with the goal of creating a character resembling a real person, rather than a "sexy action woman." In ''Beyond Good & Evil'', she and her uncle Pey'j, a half-pig half-human, work together to both rescue orphans they were taking care of and expose governmental corruption. Since appearing in ''Beyond Good & Evil'', Jade has been met with very a positive reception and has been included on several lists of top female video game characters. She has been compared to other such characters, including Alyx Vance from ''Half-Life 2'', Kendra Midori from the ''Avatar'' video game, and others. ==Concept and creation== Jade was created by ''Beyond Good & Evil'' developer Michel Ancel, whose wife, Alexandra, a character artist for the game, played an important role in her creation. ''Beyond Good & Evil'' public relations manager Tyrone Miller stated that a rumor existed that she was the inspiration for Jade. Ancel set about creating a character that resembled a real person rather than a "sexy action woman," and Miller points out that the focus on Jade is on her role, situation, and the meaning of her actions in the game. Miller also describes her as a "girl next door" that people can identify with.〔 The design of Jade evolved throughout the game's development, both in terms of her appearance and psychology.〔 IGN editor Kaiser Hwang describes the change as going from an innocent girl with a tomboyish charm to a tougher, more weathered girl with multiple green-colored articles of clothing. While Jade has been cited as a black character, Miller states that she has no established ethnicity, since the game takes place on another planet. She is voiced by Jodie Forrest in English and Emma De Caunes in French.〔Voices (USA): Jodie Forrest〕〔Voices (FR): Emma De Caunes〕 When asked who he felt should portray Jade in a hypothetical ''Beyond Good & Evil'' film, Miller chose Shannyn Sossamon, stating that she looks and walks similarly to Jade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ladygamers.com/jade/tyrone_miller.htm )〕 In an interview with ''Nintendo Power'', Ancel stated that he hopes Jade maintains her values and personality in ''Beyond Good & Evil 2''. In an interview with ''Play'', Ancel described Jade as having "a soul like a real person" rather than simply a puppet for the players to control. He noted the character's design was adapted during production, and attributed her personality to the game's dialogue, voice acting, and visuals "coming together." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jade (Beyond Good & Evil)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
