Biography(at least a short synopsis):
Jessica Jones
Jessica Jones is a private investigator from New York City. After she was orphaned at a young age, Jones was taken in by Dorothy Walker, and developed a sisterly bond with her daughter, Trish. During adolescence, Jones discovered she possessed superhuman strength and used her ability in adulthood to fight crime as a superhero. However, a fateful encounter with Kilgrave, a vicious man with mind controlling powers, tarnished her superhero career and she spent a torturous tenure as Kilgrave's slave before finally breaking free of his control. The experience left Jones suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, prompting her to hang up her secret identity and open her own detective agency.
Trying to remain an average person and keep a low profile, she would take on minor cases for cash, while caught in a spiral of despair and destructive behavior. However, the return of Kilgrave forced her to put aside her traumas and stop him. Jones had multiple grueling encounters with Kilgrave, but with the help of Trish, Jeri Hogarth, and fellow superhuman Luke Cage, Jones finally killed the maniac, conquering her demons and prompting her to continue her superhero career.
Personality:
Jessica Jones has always wanted to do what was right and used her powers of super strength to help others. Jessica, very young, demonstrated acts of heroism such as saving her adoptive sister, Trish Walker from her abusive mother despite the latter not wanting her to and later saving a young girl from being run over by a car and saving Malcolm Ducasse from being mugged.
Despite her wanting to do good, Jessica was also severely traumatized over her brother, father and mother all dying in a car accident and then being adopted by a completely loveless mother who only adopted Jones for the publicity of having a daughter. Despite having a miserable childhood, Jessica truly cared for her adoptive sister, Trish and began to see her as her own sister. Jessica's painful childhood also makes it difficult for her to express or even feel love for another person.
However Jones' attitude completely changed when she ran into Kilgrave, a handsome, charming and charismatic man, while saving Malcolm from muggers. Using his mind control powers, he continuously raped Jessica and under his influence she lost her free will and became his personal slave. Kilgrave also forced her to murder Reva Connors, a woman who came close to discovering Kilgrave's past. After this Jessica was able to break free from his control and looked with horror at what she was forced to do.
After this it transformed Jones into a cynical, sharp-tongued, self-loathing and sarcastic shell of a woman. Trish even commented about Jessica's Post-Traumatic Stress, which was evidently so bad she quit being a hero as she no longer saw herself as one and became a private investigator instead. Kilgrave evidently had a lasting on her psyche; the very idea that he was still alive left her completely panicked and was prepared to leave New York to get away. Despite her not wanting to be a hero anymore, Jessica showed a lot of sympathy towards other people who were "Kilgraved" such as Hope Schlottman, Malcolm Ducasse, Reva Conners, Luke Cage and her neighbor Ruben who she all wanted to help but still felt responsible for destroying their lives.
Jessica should also be remarked for her aggressive, violent temper which if she had reached her limits could be terrifying and even brutal to whoever she was unleashing it upon. The first time she expressed this was when humiliating a man who spoke disrespectfully towards Trish in a bar by emasculating him and actually throwing a client through her window when he blamed her for ruining his life. Once after being disowned by Luke Cage and later getting intoxicated she came close to throwing Wendy, the ex-wife of her acquaintance Jeri Hogarth, onto a train track while trying to get her to sign the divorce papers.
Jessica did her best to refrain from killing people while performing feats of heroism and normally limited herself to just injuring criminals in nonfatal ways however if she felt that the death would benefit the world and he had caused to much pain she would have gladly taken his life such as the case with of course Kilgrave.
Jones possessed something of the alcoholic side, claiming that the way she coped with the trauma of being "Kilgraved" was with whiskey. She more then once was kicked out of a dive bar for having too much to drink and at times even become violent when intoxicated.
Strengths/Abilities:
Superhuman Strength: Jones has strength beyond that of a regular human, especially notable regarding her size. She was able to completely crush an alarm clock with a single hand when she tried to sleep off a hangover, lift a slow moving car and hit a man with enough strength to make him fly across the street.
Enhanced Speed: Jones' overall strength allows her to run at speeds superior to the average human. She was able to catch up to a car fairly easily, and stated she can run a mile in under four minutes.
Enhanced Durability: Jones has durability far beyond that of a regular human, being able to resist multiple beatings with little to no visible injuries. However, she is still vulnerable to gunshots and explosions.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Jones' augmented metabolism heals faster than an ordinary human being. She is capable of completely healing minor scratches and injuries in mere hours, and major injuries like broken ribs in just a single day. It may also allow her to not be affected by the harmful and long term affects of alcohol, leaving her only to experience intoxication and hangover while not experiencing any signs of toxicity.
Flight: Jones is able to fly, though she has never mastered this ability. She can propel herself off a surface and through the air at various speeds and altitudes, but she sometimes gets injured while landing. Jones refers to this as "guided falling".
Master Investigator: Jones is a highly skilled investigator, using a multitude of methods to achieve her goals. She often impersonates other people's voices on the phone to advance with her cases, and is able to easily connect evidence that other people may overlook. She is not afraid of using methods that could be considered illegal, such as stealing things, or breaking into private places, often using her strength to break doors and padlocks, in order to obtain clues and advance in her cases. She was able to successfully locate Hope Shlottman and Antoine Grier when he was hired to do so, and is often offered different jobs by Jeri Hogarth, despite her law firm hired their own private investigator, a position that was first offered to Jones, but that she refused.
Combatant: Jones has basic combat skills, often using her superhuman strength to her advantage.
Equipment:
Cellphone: Jones used applications on her cellphone to get information she needed for cases, such as a police scanner app she used while searching for Kilgrave, or a GPS app that allowed her to know the exact location of Trish Walker's phone.
Camera: As a detective, Jones tended to take pictures for her clients to use them as proof; but she also used it for personal uses when she took pictures of the affair between Gina and Luke Cage.
Crosswords: During stake-outs, Jones is usually alone and gets bored; to pass the time, she would have crossword puzzles with her.
Hip Flask: The trauma Kilgrave gave her caused Jones to resort to alcohol to ease her thoughts; Jones carries a hip flask filled with alcohol to take a sip when desired on assignments.
Weaknesses/Fears:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Jessica was traumatized by her time spent with Kilgrave. He affected her mind so much that she did not know what were her own thoughts. She still struggles with this daily.
Alcoholism: Jessica coped with her trauma through alcohol regularly drinking to forget her troubles.
