All About Akatsuki no Yona

Jae-Ha (Green Dragon)

Jae-Ha (ジェハ Jeha) is the current Ryokuryuu, one of the four , which possesses the blood of the green dragon deity. He is a former member of Captain 's , and is the fourth person to join and's journey.

Appearance

Jae-Ha is a tall man with droopy green eyes (purple in the anime) which often become the target of insult against him. He has long green hair that he ties behind with an orange ribbon, and long fringes he stylizes to cover the right side of his face. He also has piercings on his ears. His right leg is full of green scales and sharp nails,similar to Kija's claw.

For attire, he dons a dark blue robe designed with yellow hemlines and cuff. It has a high collar and three buttons located on the top of the chest area. On the back of this robe, there are several pockets stitched where he hides his blades. Underneath, he wears a black midriff top that has longer and tighter sleeves than his robe. This top is cut in half and is tied with a ribbon which leaves a fraction of his chest exposed. On the bottom, he wears light olive pants with the lower part tucked in a pair of light gray patterned boots.

Personality Jae-Ha is a vain, confident, persistent, and observant man who takes pride in his looks and enjoys the beautiful things in life. He has the tendency to chase after something he believes to be beautiful and outwardly display his masochistic nature when someone hurts him lightheartedly, much to the annoyance of some of his companions. Behind these antics, however, he hates being pursuit and values freedom more than anything. His particularity with liberty deeply stems from how he was treated in his village when he was young. With how he was chained and stopped from using his powers recklessly, he relishes the freedom that his power and circumstances allow him. Furthermore, his opinion of the legend of the four dragons and is that it is a form of imprisonment and he is adamant about doing what he wants, not as "the Ryokuryuu", but as "himself". With this, he makes every effort to hide himself from his fellow dragon warriors as a rebellion to his fate.

Jae-Ha flirts with girls.

As a lover of beauty, he is naturally attracted to women. With his playboy attitude, he flirts with every female he interacts with by using his looks, sweet words and gentlemanly actions. However, even in relationships, he dislikes being chased and prefers to be the chaser. His ideal type of woman is like Gi-Gan; a strong-headed woman who is not scared of anything. This is also what made him fall for Yona after he witnesses her strength, though he believes that it is due to the dragon's blood desire instead of his feelings.

Due to his age and experiences, he has a better understanding of everyone and can easily see the big picture. Often times, he uses his observations as teases –especially to Hak who is affected the most– but he also gives them out as an advice to everyone. Eventually, he makes himself as the group's "Big Brother" and protects his teammates.

Background

Twenty five years ago, Jae-Ha was born in the and –the previous Ryokuryuu– took care of him. During his childhood, he was confined in chains within his room to prevent him from escaping the village and also from repeating the tragedy that happened eighty-five years ago. In his every attempt to flee, he was always stopped by Garou and was beat up as punishment. While in the middle of his punishment one day when he was twelve, Jae-Ha asked when Garou will die so that no one will stop him from running away. After saying this, he tried to attack Garou with his dragon's leg, only to be blocked by the latter's right leg which is currently dominant among his. Jae-Ha's dragon foot was immediately grabbed, causing him to lose balance. His predecessor took this opportunity to tell him that there is no place for him outside and he will only be treated like how the villagers treat him. He tried to reason with him, but Garou didn't care and left him. Jae-Ha tried to unshackle himself, but soon gave up.
