Jay

Jay Walker is the son of Cliff and Libber, the adoptive son of Ed and Edna, the brother of Cole and the half brother of Hayley. He is an evolved elemental master of lightning and the leader of the ninja team. Jay made his first appearance in the firstbook when he awoke from another one of his Nadakhan nightmares, only to find his girlfriend, Nya, also awake due to an illness. After getting it checked out, it was revealed that she was allergic to Jay's elemental power. Jay was then taken by Nadakhan and was sent to his birth father, Cliff, but with special rules. He learned about his past with Sabrina as well. Jay managed to escape from Nadakhan after being captured by him again and met his actual birth mother, Libber. Jay eventually learned about Cole being his brother, which Cole took as a bad reaction and turned against him, joining Ben's side but only as an undercover spy. Nadakhan captured Jay once again but Wu helped him to escape and took him to the safe house, where everyone else was staying too. The team headed to Chen's Island, thinking they'd be safe, but ended up getting into trouble with Ben and Clouse. During the fight, Cole took a bullet for Jay, leaving him to die in his arms. Later in that chapter, Ben also stabbed Jay, killing him too. Jay was then brought back to life (which was explained in the side story 'Dawn of the Broken') and took on a rough patch in his life. After losing Cole, he took up self harming, even after starting to see the counsellor, Jessie. Due to not being able to cope, he decided to take the blame for Cole's death, setting Ben free from prison. During that time, Jay had befriended Tox and Ben had set Nadakhan free once again. As soon as Jay proved himself and was let out, he took down Nadakhan once and for all with the help of the ninja and Libber. Jay evolved, making his powers stronger. During the fight at the Wailing Alps, the team's new ally, D.F, had revealed himself to be Cole and the two boys finally stopped Ben, letting him go free. Jay eventually found out about his true past with his father, (which was also explained in the side story 'Unwanted') and sent him away. Jay was then made the new official leader of the team by the ninja, which Wu was uncertain of at first. Cliff attempted to take his own life due to how guilty he was but was murdered in the process by Jake. Jay was framed for killing his father and was put in prison. During this time, he found out about Hayley, Cole's twin sister, and that Ben and Cole were now together. Eventually, Jay was proven not guilty and was set free, discovering a welcome home party, where he also asked Nya to marry him. During the drama of the fourth book and the explosion at the party, Jay made Ben an official member of the ninja team. Due to complications and a heart attack, Edna died, causing Jay a lot of pain. Jay made a main appearance at the funeral and the Jaya wedding was held in the beginning of the fifth book, making Jaya a married couple. Appearances:
