Description
Jaime Alcaraz hails from Spain, naturally weaving Spanish words into his conversation. He sometimes struggles with Japanese fluency. His personality is outgoing and adventurous, driven by a constant pursuit of fun and new experiences. Jaime possesses a sharp eye for potential, spotting it in figures like a rickshaw driver and rising cardfighters, which helps him form friendships easily. A notably flirtatious streak shows through repeated romantic advances towards a shrine maiden and Tokoha Anjou, plus expressed interest in Mikuru Shindou.
Orphaned in childhood, Jaime grew up in a children's home run by Emilio. Emilio introduced him to Vanguard and gave him his first card, One Who Surpasses the Storm, Thavas. Thavas remains Jaime's most treasured possession, compelling him to physically retrieve it from a river to protect it for Chrono Shindou. Emilio originally obtained Thavas from a mysterious stranger stranded on a beach, later revealed as connected to the Soryu family. This connection explains Jaime's access to the Aqua Force clan, previously exclusive to Leon Soryu and the Chen twins. Jaime feels deep gratitude towards Leon for liberating the clan, implying Jaime's initial deck was limited solely to Thavas.
Jaime first appears in the story by hiring Chrono Shindou as a guide to "Japan's Vanguard." However, Jaime prioritizes tourism over cardfighting, leading Chrono on extensive sightseeing, including a rickshaw ride that escalates into an impromptu race against Shion Kiba's car. He engineers a cardfight between two boys using candy, demonstrating his belief that shared battles create camaraderie ("amigos"). Mamoru Anjou intervenes, exposing Jaime's identity as a Euro League representative invited by the Japanese Vanguard Association. Jaime soundly defeats Mamoru in an exhibition match before challenging Chrono, offering a Grade 2 promotion for victory. Despite cornering Chrono, Jaime ultimately loses to a comeback powered by Interdimensional Dragon, Mystery-flare Dragon.
Jaime later returns to Japan during Team TRY3's struggles, gifting Chronodragon Nextage to Chrono while unable to recall the original Gear Chronicle user. He then accompanies Chrono, Shion, Tokoha, Kumi, and Team Trinity Dragon to support Taiyou. During the Stride Gate arc, Jaime orchestrates training on an island, coercing Chrono's group to participate. While contributing through cardfights and deck advice, he balances this with leisure like sunbathing. He strategically isolates Chrono, Shion, and Tokoha during a hike to foster reconciliation, strengthening their unity. Jaime comes back to Japan near the arc's end to support Chrono.
Competing primarily in the Paris-based Euro League, Jaime debuts a revamped Wave strategy anchored by a new ace unit, Storm of Lament, Wailing Thavas, defeating Cain Burkley. He retains affection for Tokoha, providing her complimentary event tickets and introducing her to Euro League prospect Miguel Torres; they quickly become friends. Miguel's death visibly impacts Jaime, prompting him to challenge Tokoha to a cardfight to refocus her. Inspired to fulfill Miguel's aspiration of U20 Championship victory, Jaime and Tokoha return to Japan. Jaime adopts a mask to compete as "Masked Mascara," though his disguise proves ineffective. Age eligibility (20 years old) bars direct participation, leading Tokoha to appoint him coach of her team—comprising Satoru Enishi and Kumi Okazaki—registered covertly as "Team Jaime Flowers."
Jaime actively supports Team Jaime Flowers throughout the U20 Championship, dubbing Satoru "Sato-runrun" due to burgeoning interest. He transitions into a special guest commentator during the tournament's initial stage, exhibiting overt partiality—especially toward Tokoha—and engaging in disruptive antics like dancing and fan-waving, complicating proceedings for host Mya. After the second stage's first day, Jaime volunteers to investigate Miguel's history in Paris, specifically probing his association with Kazumi Onimaru, relieving Tokoha of the task.
His deck evolves with the narrative. Starting with an Aqua Force deck prioritizing unit standing and power augmentation for multi-attacks, Jaime employs One Who Surpasses the Storm, Thavas alongside Marine General of Heavenly Silk, Lambros as finishers. The GIRS Crisis arc prompts a rebuild emphasizing extra attacks and integrating the new G Unit Storm Dominator, Commander Thavas. Later development in NEXT shifts focus to Wave mechanics synergized with Storm of Lament, Wailing Thavas. Recurring phrases include "Be still my heart!" ("I feel it in my heart!" in Japanese) and assertions like "Praise Vanguard. They become amigos after the match," reflecting his belief in cardfighting's unifying power.
Trivia notes Jaime holds a driver's license, shown operating a vehicle in an episode. He occasionally exhibits verbal idiosyncrasies, reminiscent of Kamui Katsuragi's habit of misspeaking. His cardfight record includes victories against Mamoru Anjou, Cain Burkley, and unnamed challengers, alongside losses to Chrono Shindou and Tokoha Anjou, with several outcomes undetermined against Shion Kiba and Mamoru during later seasons.
