BOOP⦠Judith is the bassist and female back up vocals in the band Soundless September.
BOOP⦠Jude was classically trained in the cello starting at the age of five and played up until her senior year in high school. Until this day the cello is her favorite instrument to play, and she often composes music to play on her electric cello
BOOP⦠Judith picked up playing the bass during her freshman year in high school, and found that she was a natural and could transfer a lot of what she learned from playing the cello to the bass guitar.
BOOP⦠Ever since Jude was a kid she would sing everything imaginable. From ear worm jingles on commercials to her homework list that she would arrange and add melodies to it until it sounded like a proper song. Her family and peers would agree that she had talent but it was clear that for her the Cello took precedent, she once had dreams of being a part of the New York Philharmonic.

Judith was merely seventeen years old and well on her way to graduation when she realized that Soundless September would never be the humble little garage band they had started off as ever again. They were garnering fame faster than they could even understand and it was extremely exciting for Jude who never had much of anything in life and was eager to get her hands on everything the business, money and fame had to offer.
While the members of Soundless September were in each others good graces Judith was the bass player of the band and did back up vocals or even minor duets with Adeline, the lead singer very sparingly. So sparingly in fact it'd probably be completely unknown that her voice was on the album at all if die-hard fans didn't exist. Even in the height of Soundless September Judith managed to keep her voice hidden. Fans would isolate little sound clips from tracks up on albums and from live shows but she never sung a full song in public or whenever there were camera around. She liked being just the bassist, she saw how demanding fame was of them all and none more than Adeline the lead, and she couldn't imagine ever wanting to be heard that badly that she would give her sanity and privacy up for it. Secretly, Jude has always been a little jealous of Adeline's role as lead.
Judith as the bass player of the group garnered lots of critical acclaim for simply being a female bass player especially with her relatively tiny frame and innocent and elfish appearance, that fame was amped up when it was discovered that she wasn't just a gimmick but that she could actually shred with the most acclaimed boys out there and she takes immense pride in that achievement.
Jude's fans lovingly (she hoped) called her Saint Jude or just plain Saint as a play on her birth-name Judith Sinclair. The original Saint Jude is documented as being the Patron Saint of hopeless cases which she found fitting for herself and even though the role was terrifying to her at first she grew to wear the badge Saint Jude with honor and made it her duty to produce and compose only real heartfelt music for her fans and to always make it known that she'd be nothing without their undying support.
Other than her bass playing skills and kindness to her fans Jude was always in the media for her fashion statements at events and signings, she took pride in her image and loved putting herself together in intricate ways especially since she never had the money to do so before. Despite the love for flashy dressing Jude remained an mysterious and rare enigma for most of her time in the limelight.

Personality: Jude is often very quiet especially in the midst of an argument. If she feels like a conversation has the ability to turn south any second she rather not say anything so she can keep the fuse as long as possible. Jude tries to avoid confrontation at all costs and only wants the best for those she cares about, but can often step on toes because of her tendency to infringe on others by forcing them to do things her way. When Jude feels slighted or mad she can get really catty if pushed hard enough, a few of her triggers for going off are mention of her parents, her abortion (which she kept as well guarded secret) and finding out who leaked the secret to the press, insinuating she can't sing or doesn't have talent, and condescending attitudes.
When Jude isn't feeling attacked or mousy she's just a really a passionate girl who loves to show her love for things that helped her shape who she is today. She likes to get drunk or high and go on adventures and explore the world. The girl who she is in a altered state always feels better than the girl the next morning. Judith ways always the one who loved to attend the parties and loved to watch the bands press on Youtube even though she tried to keep her comments during interviews strictly about the band; she wasn't always able to strike the balance.

Judith Everett Saintclaire was born to Dean and Marie Saintclaire, two deadbeat parents who to this day are alive and... relatively healthy enough to be in her life but choose all the vices in the world over her time and time again. Anyone who knows Jude knows that she never quite got over being abandoned by the people who she thought had the most obligation to invest in her happiness and success, and she carries it with her constantly and it appears as a constant motif in her personal music and a few of the songs that she's written for the band.
BOOPβΊβΊβΊ In her Junior year of highschool Jude found out that she was pregnant by a College Junior who she'd met at a frat party she was never meant to attend, but was way too curious to pass up. When the news came she immediately knew what she had to do, or at least what she perceived her only choice to be. She assessed her situation, she was a scholar student who needed to focus on grades if she intended to make it out of the rut she was born into, she was adopted by her grandmother and grandfather at the age of 8 when CPS removed her from her physically abusive Father and mentally abusive Mother's care. Early in her seventeen year her Grandfather would pass followed by her Grandmother a few months later; she was utterly alone and relied on the favors of others to even take care of herself. All she had was her music, her grades, her talent and her bandmates. She refused to bring a child into the equation.
When the band was at it's height Jude proudly contributed not only as a bassist and back up vocalist but as a writer, producer and confidant to her bandmates, literally nothing made her happier. However as the band started to fall a part after 4 years of infamy and success so did Jude. Jude was always a smoker, drinker, and hand't been the "always say no to drugs" type since she was in Junior High School, so she couldn't blame any of those bad habits on anyone but herself and her genepool. However as the checks accumulated more zeros and the bands vibe changed from camaraderie, safety and a burning passion for the music and love for the fans to resentment, greed and hostility Jude carried her baggage with her to hole-in-the-wall pubs, shadowed corners of parties and even the bedrooms of strangers, and when she was sober enough to function; the music. She always returned to the music.
BOOPβΊβΊβΊ After her career as a musician in Soundless September ended Jude began posting videos of herself singing her original songs on youtube, and independently began to put out her own music, and she did well for herself with the support of fans of Soundless September. One of her songs, Kiss Me Breathless, a dancy pop-punk tune made it to the top of the charts as the #1 song in the United States, Canada, The UK and Italy for 3 weeks in a row. She also later won a Grammy for best original song used in a documentary, play or film. After dropping two albums Jude did a bit of independent touring but has since taken a break from putting out albums to focus on her life and deciding if she wants a family and a more sedated suburban lifestyle now that she is staring down the threshold of 30. The biggest changes about Jude from when she was just a teen to now is that she is less shy about letting her talents be heard and her opinions, and she's completely sober except for the occasional drink and cigarette.
