The series follows tells the story of homeless teenage girl Perrie Veevers who one day ends up in a 1980s/vaporwave-style world called 8.0.S.

City, a hoverboard names Tobu, as well as other fellow humans she befriends, such as Caitlin, Alex and Emily Muffin and even one of the monsters they captured named Rocky.
The series received critical acclaim for it's animation, writing, humour, themes and characters (particularly the title character). It was also praised for it's representations of LGBT rights (in regards to the title character, who's aromantic asexual and the character of Alex, who is pansexual and uses they/them pronouns) and neurodiversity (in regards to the title character who is autistic and has ADHD).
The series spawned a full-length theatrical film produced by Thirty-8 Animations, which was met with negative reviews with critics and fans, criticising it's plot, unfaithfulness to the series and change in characters.
Reloaxa announced that a another Jewel Ageless film that would be "a thousand times better than the last one" was in development. That promised film was produced by Disney and released in 2038, where it was met with critical acclaim.
Voice cast[]
- Frida Argento as:
- Jewel Ageless, 16-year old neurodivergent Swedish/American girl who ends up in 8.0.S. World whilst living on the streets and joins Lewis Grammar and Terry as their protégé to fight monsters, solve mysteries and have a good time. She tends to be self-centered, sarcastic and a bit cheeky around others, but mostly because she isn't good at being truthful and is often scared to admit anything that has happened to her. She loves nachos, pulling pranks and playing arcade games. Her real name is Perrie Veevers.
- Jade, member of idol group White Cacao.
- Robbie Daymond as
- Lewis Grammar, the first human resident in 8.0.S. and the land's local protector.

He also works as a part time freelance illustrator in order to pay off his bills.
