Core Characters

Jade introduces us to the enchanting world of her art, where core characters like the "girl from the forest floor" and Augustus take center stage. The girl, a half-forest fairy, half-human, reflects Jade's own journey of self-discovery and belonging. Augustus, a character who has wandered the earth for centuries, finds solace in the magical forest alongside her. Their relationship is pivotal to the narrative, as Jade explains, "She has to find her own family...a family of forest creatures, ghosts, and skeletons." 1 2.

   

Mushroom Insights

Shumi Mushroom, a central figure in Jade's art, embodies a blend of chaos and strategy. This character, described as hyper and chaotic, is on a mission to spread kindness, despite its seemingly erratic behavior. Gary Vaynerchuk appreciates the depth of Shumi's character, noting, "It's also macro super strategic and is throwing everybody off with a perceived chaos while he's on a master plan to completely bring kindness to the world." 3 4.
