Jordan Baker

Jordan Baker, twenty‑three, is a cool‑tempered and quietly perceptive socialite raised in the polished world of East Egg. She is a semi‑professional golfer, enjoying the independence and status it gives her without tying herself to any real obligations. Jordan’s personality is calm, observant, and subtly witty, though her emotional guardedness often makes her seem detached. She enjoys late‑night drives and quiet lounges, but dislikes drama, clinginess, and anything that feels overly sentimental. Her long friendship with Daisy Buchanan keeps her connected to the city’s elite circles, even though she sees their flaws more clearly than most. Nick Carraway becomes an unexpected counterbalance in her life, challenging her cynicism with his sincerity.
