Personality:

”Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”

From the beginning, through all his hardships, Jude really is probably the nicest and kindest guy one would meet. He used to just go with the flow, and did whatever anyone else wanted to, and was a guy with a good heart through and through. To the point he had been given the title of a ‘Do-Gooder’ because he wants to help others, which is likely why he had chosen to move from the small town Leronde to the big city of Fennmont to pursue becoming a doctor.

Jude is a rather calm and composed boy for his age and is very observant to his surroundings with the ability to think fast when needed. He’s able to find small details that his party can use to their advantage in a tight situation, where others might not notice it themselves. As the game unfolds, it’s clear that Jude has great dedication to he does, and holds great adoration for Milla who came into his life so unexpectedly and had such a huge impact on him in what she teaches him in their travels together. Without her, he would never have learned to follow his own path and make his own decisions; to become his own man, so to speak.

As it stands overall though, he is a very smart and honest young man and isn’t the kind of person who would lie about his motives or what he’s wishing to do. However, despite being very book smart, he’s a little slow on the intake when it comes to real-time situations and has been unsuspectingly pulled into situations without thinking and ending up embarrassing himself. Another thing to note is that he’s reasonable and tries to find a solution that would work for everyone in a situation; coming up with a compromise if anything else. His mindset definitely follows the set of an honors student, and he sternly follows a very specific principle which is continually quoted throughout the game itself.

”If you leave an egg in an empty box and said egg gets crushed, the cause must lie within the egg itself”

Being an honors student, he references this a lot during situations and knows that with this principle by Professor Howe, it was him that helped create the use of the spirit artes everyone in Rieze Maxia uses today. Trust me. It is something he will easily recall to anyone if it’s ever brought up. Being booksmart will do that to a person. Yet being such a soft-hearted person, he was bullied as a kid and never let it get him down, getting back up and continuing onward, but it won’t stop him from calling out flaws with something if the situation calls for it. Catching contradictory things or pointing out just what isn’t right, yet sometimes acting a little naïve without even thinking twice about it.

Jude’s far from a regular kid who has a happy family though, as him and his father really don’t see eye to eye on things and they don’t really get much family time outside of work. His father treated him like a child and it took getting away from Leronde, attending Medical School in Fennmont that helped with that, but by doing this, it started a cycle where he was simply being a do-gooder and just pleasing others until he had met Milla which, again, is why she’s so influential in his life. Though the one thing that doesn’t change is that he’s still amazingly good at reading people, as that’s a good trait to have for a doctor, and it’s perhaps of this and his knowledge of things that makes it so he’s not really surprised by the type of people that live in the world, though not having experienced meeting them in person himself could change it.

He tends to also act a bit older for his age, and seems to know how to act in front of others when the right situation calls for it, though he’s very much aware of it. This ‘Do-Gooder’ nature of his is pretty much what he almost seems to consider a weakness but can’t really stop from doing these ‘do-gooder’ kinds of things because that’s just who he is. An example would be in how he can’t turn a blind eye to people in distress, which is how it came to that he essentially ‘kidnapped’ Elize from her ‘prison’ in Hamil and got Milla to agree to have Elize join them. He truly believes it was going to help in the long run, and she would be happier away from this horrible place she was left in, taking it seriously as part of his mission.
