Jayme Campbell

Jayme Campbell is a close friend of Julie Waite, and later on, to Catherine Mercier. He has lived in New Ashdale his entire life, coming from a very wealthy family.

Physical Description
Jayme is described as having brown hair, covering the tops of his ears. He has wide chocolate-brown eyes that fit well with his round face. His lips are slightly crooked, and his skin is a tone of light olive. He stands at 5'8".

Many of the girls consider Jayme to be very good-looking, as they spend a lot of their time admiring him. He has a charming smile and straight teeth. Like the dress code of Ashdale, he dresses smarly, mainly in a jumper and blazer, often with a colour clash.

As for distinguishing features, Jayme has a fierce scar running down his right forearm, but is reluctant to reveal how he got it.

Personality
Jayme often makes charming and pleasant company. He is easy-going, with a positive outlook on life. He is optimistic, believing everything will turn out all right in the end. He hardly ever insults anybody, and looks at bitter people in a way that would eliminate his hatred. A lot of the time, especially around Julie Waite, he is very sarcastic and complimentary. She seems to be one of the very few who are immune to his charms.

He also cares about many people. When Catherine hurts his best friend Oliver, he is disappointed in her, and becomes very serious.

Early Life
Jayme Campbell was born on January 13th, 1971 in Ashdale, Rosewick, to Romany and Gerran Campbell. Being born into wealth, he was able to attend the best schools in the area, beginning in Daventry First School, where he met his best friend, Oliver McCain. Jayme's father Gerran, and Oliver's father Richard, became close friends due to their mutual interest in business. From that, the boys stayed best friends, though Jayme was much more outgoing than Oliver ever was.

Certain incidents in Jayme's past remain unacknowledged, in particular a horrid scar on his arm, and the suggestion that he is the favourite child to his parents over his sister Sandra and his brother Andrew.

in his first year of Third School, Jayme met Julie Waite. They developed a friendship over the year, being both playful, and competitive as they enjoyed debating over every topic available. While Jayme took a great interest in Julie, he cared little for her best friend Catherine Mercier.

Jayme is seen developing his friendship with Julie Waite at the beginning of the school year ball, where Catherine asks if there is anything going on between them, to which Jayme responds in the negative. The two barely speak while he is around Julie, but when Catherine has a fall-out with Jayme's best friend, Oliver McCain, he becomes stern, unlike his usual playful self, and suggests that she apologises to him.

After that day, Jayme tries to make more of an effort with Catherine, where she reveals the truth of her and Julie's past. Jayme becomes interested in their lives in Old Selby, and pays a visit to Julie one night, wishing to see the town. Julie reluctantly agrees, and she and Catherine take Jayme on a tour of the town, finally ending up at the Hideout. It's there that the scandalers try to attack him on suspicion of him being a spy from New Ashdale. Jayme makes a convincing show that he is all for Selby's plans for the future, and fools them all into believing him.

Jayme sticks with Julie, Catherine, Tommy and Sheridan as they plan for a future after Rosewick's demise. When Rusty agrees to meet with Keegan Gib and his friends from Avon Sands in order to give them his answer for their request, Gib suggests there are a few in Rusty's crowd who are on his side. Rusty automatically assumes Jayme is a spy from Ashdale like he originally assumed, ending his disguise as a Selbian.
