“	My abilities are unmatched! Have a taste for yourself!	„
	~ Jam Kuradoberi

Jam Kuradoberi is a heroine from Guilty Gear. She is of Chinese descent, and is one of the few characters in the game who fights bare-fisted, supplemented with Ki force. She is a talented chef and a restaurant owner, whose business is constantly being affected by the events in the story.

Character Design

Jam stands 5'4" tall, with long brown hair worn in a waist-length loop and secured at the top of her head with a "Pokka" Oolog tea can. She has brown eyes, fair skin, and a very athletic (and very attractive) physique. Jam's costume is a tight-fitting Chinese-styled dress of red silk and black trim. On her feet Jam wears high-heeled red boots with black trim.

Personality

Jam is a woman who often jumps to conclusions and is quick to make decisions, while taking the consideration of others into account. In Guilty Gear XX, she immediately got into fights with the other characters, suspecting them as the arsonists who burnt her restaurant down. Jam also takes great pride in her Chinese heritage and skill in both fighting and cooking, often using food as a reference. Overall, she is a very energetic person who is sometimes a little silly, but still tries to establish friendships.

Story

Background

Jam is a master chef, and longs to create her own restaurant, but lacks the means to do so. She seems to have terrible luck in this endeavor even once she gets it off the ground. She's a fairly docile character, and also relatively unimportant during the beginning arches of the storyline. However, during Guilty Gear XX, Jam's ability to wield Ki becomes a very notable aspect, so her role in the story, in fact, grows more important. She can be described as a bit of a flirt, as she has hit on both Bridget and Ky Kiske in her story.

Guilty Gear X

Jam is wandering about, allegedly having heard rumors about mystical ingredients to be found at "The Devil's Living Place", where Dizzy resides. When she runs into Testament, she claims to be looking for "ingredients," which he mistakes for "atonement" (because the two words are homophones in the Japanese language). After her battle with Testament, she goes on to fight Dizzy, who thinks that she's trying to eat her (or simply kill her). In one ending, Jam is able to get the ingredients she sought for, which were allegedly unknown to mankind. In the other, the field is burned down during the battle. In both, she defeats Dizzy, and probably leaves on friendly terms. According to information given in Guilty Gear XX, she later claims the bounty for Dizzy's defeat, and uses the money to start her restaurant.

Abilities

Jam is a rushdown character who can charge up (and store) her explosive special attacks, giving them useful properties to complement her rapid punches and kicks. She has fast normal attack speed, and both her move-set along with mobility grant her good evasive options. Her power comes from her ability to wield Ki. Aside from being a user of Ki, Jam is also a martial artist. She is fairly formidable, even enough to enlist herself as a bounty hunter, and to be wanted by That Man for her abilities.
