User blog comment:Corbierr/Character Analysis- Jerome/@comment-4741712-20140921033003

First, I read this earlier, but I also had homework to finish. But I don't feel like I have much to say. I agree with most, if not all, of what you said. Jerome seemed to be a well-developed character in season 1. We also get to see how his back story influenced his actions. And when everyone turned their attention off of Jerome (Mara, Alfie, and the rest of Sibuna), he decided to try to figure out things by himself to prove himself worthy. Little did he know that the person he called was the wrong person to talk to... And now, Sibuna helps Jerome and gives him protection with regards to his Rufus Zeno issues. Season 2, his character was rather solid, too. I feel most of his "development" was in season 2, even though he wasn't in Sibuna at all until he was an ally at the end (boo!!)

Season 3 comes around and all the "development" gets thrown out the window. Jerome is NOT a cheater!! He may have been a schemer with Alfie at times, but he would NEVER stoop low enough to cheat. If they didn't want Jara to be canon and they wanted Willow to accomplish that, a better way could be that he confesses to Willow and Mara that the timing with both of them was, well, off. Willow and Mara would let their feelings get the better of them as the first half of the season progresses, and then Jerome realizes what's going on and refuses to date either of them. Or, if Jeroy wasn't canon at all, perhaps he just breaks up with Mara and goes out with Willow. Either way, the cheating angle is NOT true to Jerome. Also, this would make Jerome's intention as a descendant attempting to leave the ceremony more genuine, as opposed to also wanting to stop Mara and Willow reading Joy's email to them. Furthermore, Joy and Jerome should have been involved in Sibuna at least after the possession by their ancestors.

There's my take on Jerome!!
