Appearance
Jet is a very thin alien that strongly resembles a human. He has fair skin, and spiky red hair that is swept to the side. He has thick red eyebrows and grey eyes. He wears a blue spacesuit. He wears grey boots with red laces.

Personality
Jet is a typical kid for Bortron 7, but he’s extraordinary to the kids next door. He’s always curious, he’s fearless, he leaps before he looks. Jet is unafraid of failure; on Bortron 7 there is no word for failure. You can’t get him down. Jet’s also kind of like the Music Man – you never know when he might burst into a song that he made up on the spot. He can build anything. Jet is endlessly delighted by our planet, which to him is huge and lush, incredibly varied and beautiful. He often points out the wonders of ordinary things to the Earth kids.
