Jaylen Riaz

Jaylen Riaz, a character in the Platinum series, is your character's fellow competitor. She is first seen in Chapter 2.

Appearance
Jaylen has brown eyes, shoulder-length dark brown hair, and an olive skin complexion. She wears a red v-neck shirt under a black leather jacket. You note that she is about your age.

Personality
Fiona says Jaylen is the starstruck, sweetheart ingenue who came from nothing. It is a failsafe story that America will vote for. However, you see a different side of her depending on if the cameras are watching.

Background
She is the first contestant on this week's One In A Million. She camped out since 9pm the night before to be first in line. This is her fifth time auditioning; she also auditioned in Des Moines, Milwaukee and Tulsa. In Chapter 3, when she films her backstory, she says she entered her first tap-dancing competition when she was 2 years old and her parents did not believe in her; so she aims to prove them as well as everybody else wrong, that she has what it takes to become a star.

Your Character
In Chapter 2, when Avery suggests you sit in the back of the auditorium to get a feel of the audition process, you watch Jaylen perform first. When she catches you exiting the auditorium and you tell her Avery invited you, she tells you that she won't let you ruin her chance.

Ryder Kohli
During the auditions for One In A Million, Ryder chooses Jaylen as his pick to mentor for the week. In Chapter 4, the producers show footage of her during the rehearsal week and you discover that she and Ryder chose to have her perform the same song as you and Avery, a cover of Avery's iconic track, 'How to Start Again'. Whether or not that was intentional by her and Ryder is unclear, but the producers love the drama that it creates.
