#Jaden Grimm

[ballet-symphonie]

Do you know why Jaden Grimm (the American who graduated vaganova in 2023) is leaving Mariinsky?

I don't know why but honestly, I wouldn't want to sit in the corps of Mariinsky for years and years, especially in the middle of the war. It's where talent goes to die. She can leverage her experience and her VBA education to get a much better job somewhere else, and likely somewhere closer to home.

Do you know why Jaden Grimm (the American who graduated vaganova in 2023) left Mariinsky this year?

I do not, I assume only she knows. My assumption is this was probably her plan all along. Get experience from the top company in the world and then benefit from all the doors opening from that!

[balletomaneblog]

how is jaden grimm doing at mariinsky?

She's dancing in the corps de ballet mostly though I know she's debuted Four Sylphs in La Sylphide and performed the role several times. I'm not sure if she's had any other debuts during her first season.

Do you know why Jaden Grimm (the American who graduated vaganova in 2023) is leaving Mariinsky?

I honestly don’t know why, imo she should’ve left VBA in 2022 because she’s a foreigner. She made a choice to say the least. Any European school would’ve been nice. I don’t even know if it was her choice or her family’s choice.

This applies to all foreigners, I was surprised to see how many Japanese students are at VBA or any Russian company even now.

I don’t know her personal opinion, she might’ve not been favored by management or she was tired of the same rep since a lot of rep was lost during the war. I don’t follow her or any VBA student so I can’t really say.

Do you know why Jaden Grimm (the American who graduated vaganova in 2023) is leaving Mariinsky?

I'm guessing she wanted more opportunities.

Any VBA grad could excel at any European company, especially someone from the top of Kovaleva's class. She can be a soloist in a few years in a smaller company, while Mariinsky has a corps de ballet full of soloist level people. I've heard it described as a "talent graveyard", and for a lot of people, it's true.

The absolute urge to make a Misao AU with my girlies like,,,

Kore is absolutely so like Aki Narukami and Hanae acts somewhat more like Misao Furukawa (despite how Hanae can act rather mean and selfish a few times).

Kore deffo like I mentioned will be someone who'll do anything for her friends, meaning she would do anything to appease Hanae to let Hanae rest easily and allow Hanae to move on. Even if that meant killing someone. Kore has no issue and doesn't seem fazed by it. She's the most loyal and dedicated person for those she considers as friends and cares for. Safe to say that Kore is definitely a strange individual. Even Kore is quick to point out other people's wrong doings (like how she is normally in the GX universe), but also like Aki, is quick to comfort those she sees who are upset.

Hanae in her og GX universe, already doesn't have much of a great life. Being abandoned by her neglectful mother and left in the care of her abusive uncle, Hanae is already dealt with the hand of misfortunes.

Also - tho I didn't intent on including the og GX cast but hey ho - Jaden radiates so much Akito Narukami vibes. He and Kore are both the most friendly and enthusiastic individuals, albeit weird, but like Akito, Jaden would hesitate with murder, unlike Kore who doesn't think twice. When it does come to Jaden committing acts of murder (like in game it the player played at Akito), Kore would be the one whispering in Jaden's ear to do it, almost like taking control of Jaden and doing it herself. Is Jaden happy with it? No, obviously not. But whatever it takes to let Hanae rest easily.

However I do think Hanae would be way worse than Misao when she's a spirit. Hanae would be so blinded and rage filled it would take such a long an agonisingly slow time to get Hanae to move on.

((After years of not touching the game and watching old playthroughts plus the definitive addition, I forgot how much I used to love the game. Also Aki is such a menace I adore her.))

Hair color: Blonde

Eye color: Silver

Occupation: Leader of the Knights of Arc, Second-in-command pf Vale's military, Member of the Resistance, huntress

Affiliation: Clan Arc, Knights of Arc, The Resistance, Vale's military

Semblance: Aura Amp, Rose Manifest

Weapon: Crocea Mors (upgraded into a scythe)

Family: Ruby Rose (mother), Jaune Arc (father), Yang Xiao Long (maternal aunt), Taiyang Xiao Long (maternal grandfather), Summer Rose (maternal grandmother, deceased), Qrow Branwen (honorary great-uncle), Jaden Arc (Paternal grandfather, deceased), unnamed paternal grandmother, Saphron Arc (Paternal Aunt), Terra Cotta-Arc (Paternal aunt), Adrian Arc (paternal cousin), Unnamed 6 paternal aunts, Unnamed paternal great-grandfather, Unnamed great-great grandfather, Mirak Arc (great-great-great grandfather, deceased)

Biography:

Sunsprite was born to Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc. Named after a yellow rose that represents to feel positive and hope, and the promise of a new beginning. Like her mother, Ruby, Sunsprite is born with silver eyes.

She was born during the time of the 2nd Great War in Vale. As an infant, it was the only time Sunsprite sees her mother, but Ruby feared Salem will come after Sunsprite (due to the fact that she has silver eyes). To lure Salem away from her daughter, Ruby resolves to leave. But not before telling Jaune, and asked him to give Sunsprite a letter when she turns 17.

After Ruby left, Jaune was left to raise his daughter on his own, with the help of his older sister, Saphron, and Ruby's older sister, Yang. This way, Sunsprite will still be surrounded by love and family, even during the hard times in the 2nd Great War.

As Sunsrpite grew up, her aunt Yang would not only spoil her and spend some time with her, but also taught her niece hand-to-hand combat. Then Jaune would teach her swordsmanship, but she prefers to fight without a shield in order to excel in her speed.

Later, she would meet her honorary great-uncle, Qrow Branwen, one of the surviving huntsmen that has been watching over Sunsprite from a distance until now. And the one who taught Sunsprite's mother the ways of the scythe. Qrow then taught her on her to use a scythe.

When Sunsprite is ready, Jaunes passed her his own weapon, Crocea Mors, which has been in the family for generations. With this, Sunsprite would readjust the family sword so that it can also turn into a scythe. Jaune doesn't mind this, since he acknowledged her creativity and strategy.

After she turns 17, Jaune finally gives Sunsprite the letter. On the letter, Ruby explains her reason for leaving for the fear of her safety. But encourages her to fight for what she believes in. It also includes a journal that tells her stories about her friends, her time in Beacon Academy, and her journey for the four relics.

During one of her missions, she is helping evacuating the civilians in the town of Sunset Island, when the Grimm got too closer to the crowd, Sunsprite wasted no time to fend off the protect the citizens. It also unlocks the semblance of Rose Manifest (which turns her into Rose pedals to switch from one to to another).

Personality:

Since then, Sunsprite has become the leader of the Knights of Arc. A group of hunters that serve as protectors of the weak and aiding the Resisatnce. Because of this, Sunsprite unlocked her father's semblance, Aura Amp. Which is surprising, cause never before a huntsman and/or huntress can unlock two semblance, and she is the first to do so.

And because of her dedication for the rebellion, Sunsprite became known as "the Silver-eyed Knight of Remnant."

Sunsprite is similar to her mother, Ruby, intelligent of strategy, and filled with dreams despite being involved in the 2nd Great War. And filled with nostalgia when hearing fairy tales as a child. She tried her best to remain positive throughout her battles. Like Ruby, she also has a sweet-tooth for sweets such as cookies, or other baked goods. And would make them from her grandmother's recipe.

She would refer to her father, Jaune as a "Super Dad," who told her fairy tales in Ruby's absence and spending time with her when not fighting in war. For that, she is close to her father, even if he is absent for busy reasons. Which Sunsprite doesn't mind.

Sunsprite dreams of writing her stories, and would write down her journal previous events, so that if the war is won, she can convert them into a book. Writing down her journal, Sunsprite longed to meet her mother since she left. And was curious about what caused her to leave.

Yuliana was made when someone requested a soldier who would do anything the buyer asked. Her development took years during which she somehow got a soul. Her father never said how it happened or even if he actually knew how it happened. What also changed is that he began to see her like his own daughter which inspired him to try to get her away from the buyer. The day before he decided to leave, Yuliana saw a black carriage. She decided to inform her papa immediately, to which he took it as a sign to leave, only for her to get transported to Twisted Wonderland.

Do you think Sofya Valiullina can progress further with Bolshoi? Especially with new hires/graduates coming into the company soon. Not sure what the consensus is in Russia but from what I see majority of Russian comments on Instagram and YouTube of her performances are rather negative. I know it is impossible but I really think she is so perfect for so many ballet companies outside of Russia. I can see her at Royal ballet. Also, any news of Kuprina ?

Tough question re: Sofya. It depends on how many graduates are going to Bolshoi and how many of them have soloist potential. Kamila Sultangareeva will definitely be one of them. I still have high hopes for her bc she is being given soloist roles, but you’re right in assuming that it might die down this coming year. It really depends on who’s coming!

Tbh I want to see more Vaganova graduates in America too. I really thought it would’ve been awesome to have Jaden Grimm in ABT or SF Ballet. Sofya in Royal Ballet would be such a dream, her repertoire would increase drastically!

More VBA graduates should consider Vienna State Ballet too, it’s now under Alessandra Ferri’s leadership!! There are also so many companies outside of Russia that would serve them all well. Berlin, Munich, Dutch National, Paris!

As for Yaroslavna, I saw her dressed up like she was going to class back in January/February. This was on her instagram story but that was it. No hints at a return to stage so I’m definitely worried about that.

[balletomaneblog]

Two more Vaganova graduates, Romanian Lucas Dobos and American Jaden Grimm, are both joining the Mariinsky!!!

I was expecting that Dobos would be accepted because he was one of the top graduates with a soloist position in the graduation but I was less sure about Grimm so this is very exciting! Congratulations to them both!
