Jade Uys

Jade Leigh Uys is a character in Umndeni, LGC. In 2018, she served as Deputy Head Girl of Conduct of Lucian Girls' College, Softball Captain and Swimming Captain.

In her post-matric profile, it is revealed that Jade went to the University of Cape Town in order to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Writing.

Early years
In her primary school years at LGC, Jade formed an incredibly close bond with Ayla Abdallah and Kirsten Bruin such that Kirsten and Ayla continue to make reference to Jade and their friendship and memories with her throughout their grade 8 year. Laura Meek mentions to Katelyn Rianco in Welcome to LGC that Jade was "one of the only genuinely nice people to [her]" throughout Laura's primary school years.

In her grade 7 year, Jade served as a library monitress alongside Ayla, Kirsten, Laura and a number of other LGC girls. She was considered the most responsible of the group by far. She also served as Swimming Captain in her grade 7 year.

Jade largely flew under the radar throughout her primary school years; despite being an accomplished swimmer and a talented softball player, she did not end up captain of Cole in her grade 7 year due to her quiet nature.

Grade 9
Having left LGC at the end of her grade 7 year to study at St Edward's School for Girls, Jade is first introduced in her grade 9 year, returning to LGC as a response to the large amounts of bullying purported at St Edward's. Kirsten and Ayla are delighted by her return and quickly ease Jade back into the goings-on of College since her departure.

Personality
Jade is quiet, kind and polite.
