Backstory
Jayde was born in a small area of Norway called “Grünerløkka”. In the Dahl household, comfort wasn’t an option. Fights were common in the Dahl household, rarely with words. It was the only way anyone could be heard.. His parents treated Jayde and his siblings harshly. As time passed, Jayde’s siblings would even begin to mirror the same treatment and actions that had been displayed throughout their lives, meanwhile, Jayde was the only sibling who was capable of breaking the cycle.
His parents' Norwegian blood ran throughout the family with their strong genetics, like their height, hair, and even accents, which Jayde, along with all of his siblings, inherited. Jayde, in particular, HATED how he inherited these traits, already feeling like he stood out enough, he would be the tallest in the family. Often finding himself comparing himself to other kids his age, wondering why he’d already tower over them while they had just begun to grow into themselves. He couldn't stand how much he felt like he’d always be judged or watched. As if his troubles couldn’t get worse, Jayde ended up getting diagnosed with something called “Vocal Cord Paresis,” which resulted in him being restricted from speaking properly. He would find himself only being able to make a hiss of a breath whenever he tried to speak a single sentence. The more that he tried to speak, would result in an abrupt coughing fit would start up. The use of his voice brought more pain than pleasure, so he had given up on speaking and turned to using a phone as a new form of communicating.
Because of all of Jayde’s traits, he was basically forced to deal with people’s assumptions and expectations towards him. Some people mistook his height for meaning that he had to be tough or at least be athletic. Others would constantly mock Jayde for how much he stuck out, even affecting his relationships that he’d have with people because of it. His friends would use him as a form of a shield in fights, and teachers would single him out for sports teams that he had very little interest in, and strangers would constantly treat him as older than he was. It was seen as ‘rare’ for people to see Jayde as more than an abnormal junkie’s kid. The constant disconnect made him keep people at a distance, struggling to trust anyone who’d try to get closer to him in fear that they wouldn’t bother to look past just his appearance.
Once Jayde turned 15, it was his breaking point. He knew he couldn’t keep living in the environment that he had been growing up in, so he turned to the only person who knew that would help him, his uncle. His uncle helped buy him a plane ticket to Karakura so he could get as far away as possible from his household and hopefully build a better future than he’d always thought he would have. It definitely was one of the hardest decisions he had ever made, but he knew it was going to be the right choice in the long run.
Now Jayde still lives in Karakura, much healthier and happier condition than what he was back in Norway. Finally comfortable calling people his friends and even family. Though still not able to speak, his presence speaks for himself louder than he will ever be able to. Still feeling the eyes are always on him as he stuck out in public, he’s learned to carry it quietly and slowly gained confidence against the insecurities that he allowed to weigh himself down for almost his whole life instead of letting it be his disadvantage.
