Lady Jaye is the code name of Staff Sergeant Alison R. Hart-Burnett, a character in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated and comic book series of the 1980s. She is the covert operations specialist.
She was born on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. She is a Bryn Mawr graduate and also did graduate work in Trinity College in Dublin. She is an accomplished actress and fluent in several languages.
She has a knack for impersonation, right down to the subject's voice and mannerisms. Something in her heritage makes her easily pass for a number of cultures, particularly European and some Middle Eastern. She has a famed romance with Flint, the rugged warrant officer, and their banter was a trademark of the animated series and one of the few things the animated series and the comic book had in common.
Both first appeared in the Revenge of COBRA miniseries. She is generally the second main female character of the series, after Scarlett. In the comic books, Lady Jaye's relationship with Flint got off to a rocky start.
Flint was drawn to her from the moment he saw her, but she was turned off by his occasional arrogance, and basically thought he was a jerk. Through an act of courage, holding off invading Cobra Eels long enough for Lady Jaye to alert the other Joes, which almost cost Flint his life, she started to reconsider her opinion of him. While Flint was recovering from his injuries, he confided some of his fears and doubts in her, and they grew closer, eventually falling in love.
