Hey, Subbies. I have decided that Jem will look pretty much like Shira Yuki from Snow White with the Red Hair. She is extremely shy, but is definitely a force to be reckoned with when someone makes her mad. I take a lot of my character design stuff from animes, as well as I make a lot of references to it. I have put in Celestial Keys for all you Fairy Tail fans out there. The horn of water was just water. She can't waterbend, airbend, firebend, etc. Sorry Avatar/Legend of Korra fans. I really like that anime too, it would just make her too OP if she were able to. For the same reason, she can't use Celestial Keys. I have put in a picture of Shira Yuki for everyone who is unfamiliar.

Garroth's POV
I felt something shift behind me. I turned around, and saw a beautiful girl. She was wearing a sort of cloth over her head, but I could see some of her hair. To my surprise it was the same color as a ripe apple, instead of Nicole's blood red. I turned my gaze slightly downward to her eyes. They were a vibrant green, the shade of an emerald, but they burned with a fire behind them. She had high cheekbones, a tiny nose, and thin eyebrows.
I smiled a bit under my helm. "My name's Garroth. Lady Nicole told me to escort you to where she and her son are staying." I was trying to stay calm. This girl was very beautiful. It was intimidating.
"Who said I can't walk there by myself?" She asked. I instantly fell in love with her voice. It was clear and soft like a bell. But wait. Did I insult her. I know she's from Tu~la so that might be offensive to her. I quickly tried covering it up.
"N-no, you've got it all wrong. I never said you couldn't. I'm sure you're a very capable young woman. I just thought I could be of some assistance, carrying your things and I--" She cut me out of my rambling.
"Just joking. Sorry. My name's Ruby. Pleasure to meet you, Garroth, was it?" She smiled at me. I was glad I was wearing my helmet. It covered my blush well. I smiled back at her. Even if she couldn't see it, I was happy. I was hoping that she would be accompanying us to Pheonix Drop. I could become her friend, and maybe, something more.

"Thank you, Garroth." I called at the retreating figure of my new friend.
"No problem, Ruby." he called back. I found Garroth very interesting. He had nice stories and treated me like his equal. Even if we weren't, I found it nice to know he treated me as such.
Back home, I was treated as a punching bag and personal slave for one of the ex-jurors, (a.n. Jurors: a member of a jury; in this case, the Jury of Nine.) Ivy the Venom Scythe. (a.n. Scythe: a tool used for cutting crops such as grass or wheat, with a long curved blade at the end of a long pole attached to which are one or two short handles. Sorry. I'm now a dictionary.) It was a horrible life. I was surprisingly almost ready to trust Garroth with the whole story.
No, Jem. No. Bad Jem. I knew I couldn't tell him, but there was a small part of me yearning to. Even if it wasn't the sensible part.
I took a deep breath and walked through the doors. Tonight I was going to sleep in the inn, and would start work tomorrow morning. It was going to be a long day.
