Jamie and Isabella go door-to-door asking for donations, with Isabella also getting donations for a charity called the "Juvenile Optometry Federation" that provides eyeglasses to poor children in need. Upon finding out that art classes are being revoked due to budget cuts, she inadvertently signs up for the Jump-A-Thon, which Angeline is also participating in. Her closest relationships include her best friend Isabella Vinchella, her 'nemesis' Angeline and her love interest Hudson Rivers.
Hudson is Jamie’s crush, and he might have feelings for her, as mentioned in "Am I The Princess Or The Frog?", he writes her a love letter saying "She is not the type to make me hurl, she is as pretty as a pearl.Jamie Kelly is a student at Mackerel Middle School. Jamie's dog Stinker and Angeline's dog Sticky-buns had puppies together. Jamie used to think she was related to her because her aunt Carol and Angeline's uncle Devon were married. Angeline still occasionally gets on Jamie's nerves, but they remain friends. Jamie and Isabella had been friends ever since Kindergarten, when Isabella noticed Jamie unhappy with her lunch and stole a kid's lunch, which she gave to Jamie.Īngeline used to be Jamie's rival, but they eventually became close friends. Jamie can be very naive when it comes to Isabella, and will defend her friend whenever anyone says anything bad about Isabella around Jamie. She can be a bad influence on Jamie, but does care about her. She was a bridesmaid in her Aunt Carol’s wedding to Angeline's Uncle, Dan Devon in Never Underestimate Your Dumbness. She thinks of her as "cool." She likes when Aunt Carol comes to visit because she can get under her mother's skin. Jamie has a good relationship with her Aunt Carol. He and Jamie are generally on good terms with each other, especially after he scored Jamie tickets to the coolest boy band ever, FATAL. Jamie's dad, like his wife, loves Jamie but has a few quirks, such as his habit of lying to get out of donating money.

Her specialty is semi-poisonous meatloaf which both Jamie and her father have found ways around eating. Jamie's mom is generally a caring mother who is a horrible cook. Hasn't This Gone On Long Enough?, but instead of describing her hair the same way, she wrote "looks aren't everything." Jamie's exact eye color is green though it's mentioned in Am I the Princess or the Frog? that she, along with everyone else in her family, does not have brown eyes. She described her eyes, weight, height, and facial features as "perfect" in School.
Her hair was cut short in The Worst Things in Life are Free by Isabella, but later grew back, though according to Jamie it was harder to take care of afterwards. Angeline once fixed it so it would be long, silky, and beautiful as her own, which involved several shampoos, sprays, and so on that Jamie had to use to maintain the style, but Jamie stopped taking such care of it after reading a public diary entry by her father that she thought was by Hudson.
Jamie has brown hair that is straight and about medium-length.
