Age: 13
Sex: Female
Appearance:
Jessie has a small frame, standing in at about 5'0, and weighing around 95 pounds. Having what some would describe as a baby face, she is certainly not the type of thirteen year old that is mistaken for older than she is, but rather the opposite - having had people guess she was closer to eleven multiple times. It doesn't help that she got her teeth in more on the later side, and has only just lost the very last of her baby teeth, leaving her with a gap where it used to be. She has a sprinkling of freckles across her light skin, and her ears stick out ever so slightly. She has thick wavy hair that reaches down past the middle of her back. Naturally a light brown in color, her hair has faded blue, purple, and pink streaks throughout it. She has large eyes, and are a greyish-green in color with silver specks throughout - almost identical to her brother's. (Again, eyes are different than the picture)
Personality: What many people would describe as a wild child, Jessie is incredibly different from her older brother. Very loud and energetic, she always seems to be chattering away and jumping around, as if she has an inability to sit still or be quiet. She doesn't censor anything she says, which often makes her come across as rude. She doesn't like being bossed around, and can get very indignant when others try to do so. Showing a very impulsive nature, she'll often rush into things without much thought. She is relatively intelligent however, and when she does pause to actually think about what she's doing she can usually come up with some pretty good ideas. Attributing to her impulsiveness, she is brave to a fault, tending to worry little about her own welfare. She tends to be very stubborn, and to have an aggressive attitude. She does show a considerable amount of anger towards the world; Due to this, and her outspoken attitude about her emotions, she is at time prone to violent outbursts. (She's difficult to describe. I know she sort of sounds like a sporadic little brat, and she sort of is to an extent, but she's not that bad.... always... xD)
Biography: Jessie was born to a lower-class family living in a small apartment located in New York. Much of who she is today was shaped by the experiences she had living there.
Her mother was a manipulative paranoid woman, who relied more heavily on the children then she allowed them to rely on her. From an early age, she tried to instill fear into them, often ranting on about all the horrible things that would happen if they so much as left the house or attempted to 'abandon' her. She constantly doubted that they loved her, and would switch back and force between hysterical sobbing and angry screaming if they so much as expressed a negative emotion or tried to leave the house for any reason other than school. This is much of the reason why Jessie is so loud and open about her emotions. While it caused her brother to hide his feelings, she became more forceful about making hers known, in an attempt to try and get through to her mother. Though this only made her mother more upset with her, she was too stubborn to simply appease her, and gradually grew more and more angry with the lack of recognition she received.
Her father was a drug addict, a liar, and a bum. He did little to contribute to the family. Though he worked, he kept much of the money he made for himself, often refusing to even give enough for groceries for the week. Rarely at home, when he did show up he did little but make the situation worse. Rather than doing the laundry, cooking for the children, or attempting to help keep their mother calm, all he ever had to give was harsh words and criticism. This left both Jessie, her older brother Gabriel, and their mother more upset than before after his visits. Having grown so used to being neglected and hurt by adults, she quickly came to resent them, and in time anyone who tried to tell her what to do. She began getting into fights and causing trouble, as she both enjoyed the attention and the release of anger it brought her. With no real role models to look to, she quickly became impulsive and reckless. That was what everyone else did, after all, so why shouldn't she?
Her older brother Gabriel reacted quite differently than she did to the bad home situation. Instead of becoming impulsive and reckless, he grew to be very reserved and calculating. Still, they had a very good relationship. She adored her older brother, and while she acted like she didn't need anybody, she grew to rely quite heavily on him. She couldn't stand the idea of having him far from her, and would drag him just about anywhere she went. She constantly encouraged him to get into trouble with her, whether that was through skipping school, theft, or vandalism. Though he did try to keep her from going too crazy, for the most part he didn't seem to object to her reckless behavior, which only made her more convinced that it was okay.
