Jordana

History[]

Background[]

Jordana was once a student in Mr. Koenig's class and participated in a science fair. Jordana created a volcano model for her project, but Ana's Photac stood out as the best among all the projects, including Jordana's. This made Jordana resent Ana, who was admired by everyone for her project and even received an offer to join the Advanced Systems Lab. After Ana rejected working with Dr. LaRow at the lab, Jordana took her place.^[1]

Dragons Rising, Season 1[]

I Will Be the Danger[]

After getting thanked by Dr. LaRow, Jordana started walking away while looking at a device.

The Calm Inside[]

Dr. LaRow and Jordana were brought in to extract Riyu's dragon power. Jordana installed a tube on Riyu's cage and control panel to prepare the extraction. Before they could start, however, the dragons began to attack the Imperium Palace. Jordana soon caught Arin and Sora trying to free Riyu from his cage, so she knocked them both down to the floor. Recognizing Ana, who now went by Sora, after the dragon, Jordana expressed satisfaction, stating that they could finally put an end to their rivalry. Sora was puzzled since she did not recognize Jordana, which angered her. Jordana then saw Arin attempting to contact Lloyd using his communicator, and as a result, she took both his and Sora's communicators and destroyed them.

The Battle of the Second Monastery[]

As Arin and Sora were held prisoner, Jordana saw how Dr. LaRow had once considered Sora to be her top student. This revelation upset Jordana deeply. Suddenly, the other ninja arrived to help free the dragons. Arin and Sora then saw an opportunity to retaliate against Dr. LaRow and Jordana. Despite LaRow giving up, Jordana refused to back down, and took LaRow's Imperium Sword and shot at Sora. She claimed that Sora couldn't escape from her grasp. Sora was confused by Jordana's hostility, prompting Jordana to explain that she used to be Sora's classmate and always wanted to best her since the science fair. Despite Jordana's explanation, Sora still failed to recognize her beyond a vague belief that her red hair had been a different colour during their mutual studies, infuriating Jordana as she continued to attack Sora, believing it would make her remember her. Arin and Sora were able to avoid Jordana's attacks and used the sword to cut their handcuffs. They also managed to defeat Jordana, who left the Imperium Palace just as Ras arrived to deal with the ninja students.

Absolute Power[]

After Dr. LaRow said that they wouldn't have been summoned to the throne room if it wasn't important, Jordana stated that she was ready to serve the Empress in any way she could. With Dr. LaRow looking at her, Jordana also stated that she would be ready to serve her as well. After the meeting, Jordana set up a target for the MergeQuake Weapon to be used on using a portrait of Lloyd, which she had doodled on beforehand, asking the Empress if it was to her liking. The Empress responded to her by saying it could look a little more weak, but was suitable for the test. After the testing of the weapon when it was discovered the core Rapton handed in was a fake, Dr. LaRow refused to drain the Source Dragon's energy to make a substitute. Without hesitating, Jordana stated that she could do it, saying that she had studied the Source Dragon and found flaws in Dr. LaRow's methods, telling the Empress that she could accomplish what the Empress wanted. The Empress agreed and told her to do it.

We Are All Dragons[]

While starting test number seven, Jordana stated that the adjustments should have been able to drain the Source Dragon's energy. Confident to show Dr. LaRow that she could drain a Source Dragon's energy, she started the test. Unfortunately, this caused the system to overload, forcing Jordana to stop the system. Hearing all the commotion, Dr. LaRow walked over, telling her that she had warned her. With LaRow telling her the desire to compete with Sora was pathetic, Jordana ordered two Imperium guards to take her away, and ordered the other scientists to remove the safety protocol and increase the yield to 400 percent. After successfully draining the dragon's energy, she called Beatrix to pick up the last core made of dragon energy.

The Power Within[]

As Jordana made her way out of Imperium, her mind was consumed with deep contemplation. She couldn't help but compare herself to Sora, feeling inadequate in comparison. However, Ras intervened and assured Jordana that she had the potential to surpass Sora. He disclosed to her that she was the only one who had successfully drained the immense power of Source Dragon of Energy. Doubtful, Jordana confessed that her actions had nearly brought about the destruction of the realms. Ras swiftly shifted the blame onto the ninja, asserting that their interference was the cause. He comforted Jordana, assuring her that his master had devised alternative plans. Initially, Jordana assumed that Ras was referring to Beatrix, but he clarified that he had only used her to hunt the seven Source Dragons. Ras explained that his true Master was impressed with Jordana's abilities, which could be useful in fulfilling their ultimate plan. Ras asked Jordana whether she possessed the untamed power of the Source Dragon. In response, she revealed a container brimming with the raw essence of the formidable energy. Ras explained that by harnessing it, they would gain access to forbidden knowledge and become invincible. Initially hesitant, Jordana eventually agreed to join forces with Ras, embracing his audacious scheme.

Dragons Rising, Season 2[]

The Blood Moon[]

While trekking through the Wyldness, Jordana expressed she had no idea about how big the realm really was. Soon after, she and Ras came across the Shadow Dojo, where Ras used the energy Jordana had collected to open the front door, head inside, and find the Gong of Shattering. While inside the dojo, Jordana tried to read some scrolls, but was unable to as they were written in Theroxian. While Ras told Jordana that they would learn all of the "ancient secrets" described in the scrolls through patience, they were both met up by Cinder. Jordana watched as Cinder had returned from stealing the Mallet of Shattering from All-Realm Antiques Emporium.

Shattered Dreams[]

After taking over the Cloud Kingdom, Jordana followed Ras to the archives so they could find scrolls about the Blood Moon. After the ninja came to save the Cloud Kingdom, Jordana stayed with Ras on a rooftop, shouting at Sora and getting angry because she still could not remember her.

Beyond the Phantasm Cave[]

Jordana was engrossed in studying Theroxian scrolls when Cinder, who was practicing Shatterpin, revealed that he was becoming Ras' favorite and claimed that there could only be one second-in-command. This revelation infuriated Jordana. In that moment, she noticed Euphrasia, who was being held captive, and took the opportunity to insult her. Jordana pointed out that Euphrasia's Wind powers were rendered useless due to the Vengestone medallion that had been stored in the archives. She belittled Euphrasia, comparing her to the ninja.

Jordana later approached Ras and disclosed her knowledge of the spell to free the Forbidden Five, obtained through her crystal ball, indicating that Bonzle could be found in the Land of Lost Things. Impressed by Jordana's expertise in Theroxian magic, Ras decided they should depart for the Land of Lost Things promptly. Jordana took the chance to taunt Cinder by echoing his previous remarks about there only being one second-in-command. The trio proceeded to the motor room, where Jordana informed Ras that the Writers of Destiny had not used it for centuries.

Force From the East[]

After coming to the Land of Lost Things, Jordana successfully removed the boundary spell from the land so they could kindnap Bonzle, although she was annoyed by the ninja's interference. Then she watched the whole showdown beneath them with Lord Ras until Bonzle and the Finders escaped through the portal gate.

The Spell at the Waterfall[]

After Bonzle's escape, Jordana was tasked by Ras to track her down again using the crystal ball. While Ras came checking on her, he was summoned by his master who gave new orders to all of them.

Secrets of the Wyldness[]

Using her crystal ball, Jordana successfully located the ninja and informed Ras that they were heading towards the Wyldness. Ras urgently instructed Jordana to stop the ninja to ensure they would not disrupt the Ritual of the Blood Moon. However, Jordana hesitated as she was situated in the Cloud Kingdom while the ninja were far away. She proposed the idea of sending more Wolf Mask Warriors to intercept them. Ras, however, insisted that Jordana employ Theroxian magic instead. Jordana, being a scientist and still in the early stages of learning Theroxian magic, argued against it. She expressed her concerns, but Ras dismissed them, emphasizing that there was no room for failure. Reluctantly, Jordana summoned a powerful storm, causing the Destiny's Bounty to crash down, effectively halting the ninja's progress.

Later, Jordana arrived in the magical storagehouse, where she trapped Cole, Zane, and Gandalaria in an Imperium electro cage before taking a recently sealed Bonzle away, thanks to her recent learning on Theroxian Magic, briefly losing her temper when Zane did not recognize her and Cole had never met her, before she left them all.

The Forest of Spirits[]

Toying around with Bonzle before putting her in her buggy, Jordana mocked her current form. She was soon ambushed by Arin and Riyu, the former not recognizing her, to her frustration, and was thrown out. Jordana returned to the temple, warning Ras about what had happened, leading to him reprimanding her before going after Arin and Riyu himself, leaving Jordana behind to be teased by Cinder. She eventually watched as Ras brought Bonzle back.

Rising Ninja[]

As the Ritual of the Blood Moon commenced, Jordana voiced her apprehensions regarding the enchantments, underscoring the nature of Ras' accurate articulation for the spell to succeed. Ras, however, brushed aside her concerns and instead questioned her readiness to reverse the binding spell that would liberate the Forbidden Five. With a weary sigh, Jordana affirmed her capability to maintain control over the spell. Ras cautioned her against any further errors before he began to recite the incantation, while Jordana channeled her Theroxian magic. Amidst the chaos of battle between the ninja and the Wolf Clan, Jordana directed her Theroxian magic toward Bonzle, reverting her to her spell form. With the binding spell successfully undone, Jordana opened a portal to the Nether-Space.

As the conflict raged on, Nokt was liberated when Ras sent Kai tumbling into the portal. Nevertheless, Bonzle began to resist Jordana's control, attempting to seal the portal to prevent the remaining members of the Forbidden Five from escaping. While the ninja managed to stop the Wolf Clan from acquiring additional sacrifices, Bonzle ultimately succeeded in closing the portal, causing Jordana to fall. However, just before the portal shut completely, Rox, without anyone noticing, reached out and separated her soul from her body, latching onto Jordana. By the time Ras' master had the Wolf Clan retreat, Rox had fully taken control of Jordana.

They Gather for the Feast[]

During the welcome banquet for the Tournament of the Sources, Jordana briefly regained control from Rox's possession and tried to warn Sora for help. However, Rox quickly took hold of Jordana again before she could say anything.

Clues and Suspects[]

Following Sora's match against Frak, Jordana managed to once again retake her body from Rox's control, using her willpower to write down a cipher in the form of an Imperian math equation and discreetly pass it on to Sora.

Elements of Betrayal[]

When Rox using her body tried to stop Nya, Cole, and Zane, Jordana managed to retake control of her body and told the ninja to escape. However, she was quickly overtaken by Rox again.

After Nokt freed the rest of the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space, Rox's soul finally left Jordana's body. She said to the ninja that she was aware of her evil thoughts and plans, then undid the static spell Rox had just performed on the ninja. After that, she fled the City of Temples into parts unknown.

Appearance[]

Jordana is a teenage Imperian woman with the Advanced Systems Lab markings on her right cheek. She has small black eyebrows and long dark red hair worn in a high ponytail with a big flowing fringe parted to the left while still living in Imperium. However, as a child, she did not have any markings, her hair was styled in short bob cut, and she wore a black and gold Imperian uniform with a gold symbol on the left side.

As a scientist, her outfit consisted of a gray uniform with gold and black detailing over which she wore a long white lab coat with gold detailing and badges. When she decided to leave Imperium, she wore a black and gold Imperian robe with gray shoulder pads and a black hood to hide her identity.

After joining Ras and the Wolf Clan, Jordana started wearing a new haircut, similar to the previous one but her fringe became smaller, parted to the right, and more curled. Her outfit was a Wolf Clan general uniform that was also worn by Cinder. It consisted of dark blue, gray, and azure armor parts bearing the Wolf Clan’s symbol on her chest as well as a purple cloth that has “Wolf Moon” written in blue in Ninjargon and a gray fur collar split in the mockery of shoulder pads. During the Tournament of the Sources, Jordana, possessed by Rox, wore a gray gorget with a shoulder pad of the same color on the right shoulder and three large blue claws on the left over a gunmetal gray armor-like suit with red and dark orange technological parts, a dark purple and light gray sash-like belt with red symbols, gray teeth-like beads held by a dark purple cord on her left hip, and a red version of the Wolf Clan symbol.

Personality[]

As a child, Jordana was interested in science and wanted to join Dr. LaRow's Advanced Systems Lab, but she was completely overshadowed by Ana, later known as Sora, and her talents. Frustrated, Jordana blamed Ana for her misfortune and began fantasizing that Ana was doing it on purpose to hurt her, claiming she was her nemesis. Ana was, however, not even truly aware of Jordana's existence.

After Sora left Imperium, Jordana quickly took her place in the Advanced Systems Lab, where she worked under Dr. LaRow, although she still desperately needed approval and appreciation from someone. Because she received none, she remained focused on her hatred for Sora, and when Beatrix needed someone to drain the Source Dragon of Energy, Jordana stood in LaRow's place and risked everything for success.

After Beatrix's defeat, Jordana decided to leave Imperium but was stopped by Ras, who praised her for doing everything right despite her belief that she had made mistakes. Jordana, pleased by someone's appreciation, decided to follow Ras and join the Wolf Clan. During her training under Ras, Jordana was determined to please her master by learning Theroxian Magic and defeating her new rival, Cinder, in becoming Ras' favorite. Due to her constant need to prove her own worth, Jordana pushed past her limits during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, unintentionally becoming possessed by the spirit of a member of the Forbidden Five, Rox.

During the Tournament of the Sources, Jordana's body became a puppet of Rox, and she could only watch the world around her. Sometimes, however, she managed to regain control of her body for a short while, which she used to pass notes to Sora, the only person who could notice something was wrong. At one point, Sora even came to Jordana and apologized for her past actions that might have hurt her, although Jordana could not say anything back. After Nokt released the rest of the Five, Rox's spirit finally left Jordana's body. Afraid of the Five's plans, she revealed her change of heart. After that, she quietly slipped away and left the City of Temples, abandoning Ras and everyone she had ever known.
