''To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

What's on the outside:
Appearance:
She is a very beautiful seven teen year old girl. She has a very well kept body. She has natural muscles all over and in the right places from eating right, intense training sessions, and daily exercise. She has a lithe, slender figures to match with curves in all the appropriate places.
She has naturally straight light, brown hair, that she tends to make it wavy, that is just a little below her shoulder blades. She has very sparkly blue eyes, with silver and amber flecks towards the center. Jessie's skin is flawless, with a slightly sun tanned tint to it.
Jessie also has a pretty visible scar running down from the corner of her right eye which she got from her first fight with Tigress.
If you were to look at her back, towards the top of her shoulders, and her shoulder blades, you would see that she has some pretty big scars.
But all over the rest of her torso she has even more scares riddling her whole torso. They are light in color since they have nearly faded over time,
but up close, like if she was wearing a swim suit or tank top for example, you could see almost all of her scars.
They are mainly from her battles when she was in New York as she was growing up and battling the villains that were just like her; different, gifted, cursed, etc, etc. Being a mutant didn't really help her when she was young. It was only another obstacle and trial to make things worse when growing up and living on the streets as a younger child, but we can discuss that latter on.
Clothing choice:
But now onto her choice of clothing. Her style is usually skater, sporty, or basic. But her out most favorite choice is skater.
She usually chooses to wear almost any kind of long or short sleeve tee shirt, graphic or plain, any style of hoodie; pull over or zip up, any color skinny jeans, ripped or none ripped, and and skater shoes. Such as Converse, Vans, Osiris , and DC. high tops and also any boots. Such as Uggs, puma, and combat boots which are her favorite type pf boots to be exact.
Height:
5' 8''
Weight:
116 lbs.
Number one clothing of choice:
Her red, zipper up hoodie,
long sleeve shirts under a tee, skinny jeans,
and her black combat boots.
Jessie has her birth mother's locket, and it's the only thing that she has of her mother.
Jessie has always been the laid back, looking for a fun time, party girl. Ever since she was young, that's all she ever wanted to do, was just have fun, make people smile, and forget about the horrible world and life they might have and live in. She can usually be found wearing a huge smile than can light up any room, and make most people feel better, or want to get to know her. She carries an aura of pride, arrogance, party girl, bad girl about her, that gets people's attention. She's always been one for first impressions, and boy, she certainly does. She's always the one to go up to people, and get to know them, but if she finds said person attractive, then she'll put on the shier side of her, and make that person talk to her.
Even though she does carry around that out going, charasmatic, bouncy and bubbly, flirty vibe, she does have a second vibe to her. Jessi'es more shier, quite, mysterious, vulnerable, and curious tone. At times, she can be found in a corner, with her ear buds in, listening to some of her more favorite bands such as Bayless, Paramore, Skillet, Of Monsters and Men, Imagine Dragons, or maybe even Phillip Phillips just to name a few, if she's in the mood.
While she has been known to be the party girl, and the one who everyone wants to get to know, she has her darker side, that most usually get. She tends to be rude, snarky, sarcastic, and foul mouthed, only when push comes to shove, will she only shove all the more. She has her violent side, but so does everyone, but she'll try to mask that side of her, with her out going, party girl vibe.
While most think she's all about the bad and party style life, she's actually a lot more than that. She's caring, sweet, kind, loyal, determined, and selfless to the point of painfully so. If she were to be walking down the street and see a homeless person, she wouldn't be like most people and keep walking, she's be the type to go and help. She knows what it's like to not have a home, or feel safe, and Jessie just wants to help whoever she can, whenever she can. And it's not just with people. If she finds a stray cat or dog, injured or dying, she'd take it in and nurse it back to health, and find a home for it.
Lastly, Jessie's a hopeless romantic.....a love struck puppy if you'd wish. She's always looking for love, and if she thinks she likes someone, or even loves them, she'll go for that person. Nothing can turn her away unless she sees that said person isn't who they said they were. She hates two faced people, and tries to steer clear of them, and go for the more, 'open book' people and that's all she ever wants. She just loves the idea of love and hopes that one day, some one can help calm and take her from the life out on the street and be the totally selfless person she really is.
On the other hand, one of the things she absolutely loves to do is par-kour. That's almost how he trains. besides fighting against villains, machine guns, trip wires, electric fences, The Danger Room in the Xavier Mansion/ X-Men Institute, and training with her fellow mutants/ gifted friends.
Aside from her love of training, she's very talented at many things, like music. She's very gifted with almost every kind of instrument. But she personally prefers the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, key board, piano, violin, and the cello. Jessie's also gifted in the singing department. She can hit the highest of most notes and even rap if she needs to. Her favorite genre of music would have to be either, rock, hip hop, urban, alternative rock, and slightly alternative metal.
Jess also loves to skateboard, snowboard, ski and when she can surf.
When she was younger, she had come in second and first place in almost all of her skating, surfing, and snow boarding tournaments making her one of the best of her age, in her home town in New Jersey.
Since Jessie has been all over the world, for missions, concerts, or just for vacation time with her friends. She's fluent in multiple languages, such as French, Russian, German, Swedish, Spanish, Romanian, Japanese, and Latin.
She is very skilled in her elemental powers, and uses them almost flawlessly, and as such she uses it in a way of martial arts and as an extention of her body. Pretty much how the way they use it in Avatar: The Last Air Bender, ( her favorite T.V show of all time). The elements consist of, water, earth, fire, and air. Along with those, she can make and re-direct her own or already present lightning. As well as with the water she can make ice, as well as control the water, as long as there is already water present.
The only element that she is currently and has always struggled with is the element of fire. She has always had a problem with this element, and thus she rarely uses it. And when she does use it, it is only for a short period
of time, other wise she would become very weak and not be able to defend herself.
can only heal herself, and as long as the wound is not fatal, she does not have a problem healing. But say if it was a shot or stab wound to the chest or a leg artery, she would need immediate treatment
But, as I said before, if it's not fatal, she can heal very quickly. As she does heal the wounds, it's not like it won't leave scars behind. It only heals the wound, but leaves scars that will take a long time to fade away.
Jessie only uses this when and if she really must. Like, if a ceiling or a wall was about to collapse and there was people trapped inside,
she would keep it up as long as she would need to. Even though she does like this ability, it is her less used ability and will only use it when needed.

Bio:
Jessie was put into an orphanage at the age of two, she has no memory or any idea who her birth parents were or are even are. But her best guess or anyone's would be that they were Class A mutants. Which would be one of the strongest and most rare mutant genes. She was then adopted at the age of eight and was finally taken from that orphanage. She moved to New York and lived there until she was fifteen, she left because of critical and un-favorable circumstances. She left everyone behind and didn't look back, she discovered her elemental powers when she attempted to stop a bank robbery, the bank was burned down and melted due to her powers. She was then asked by S.H.I.E.L.D. to join them and become an agent for them, and her alternative was to be arrested and put in jail, so she agreed and became a member for a year.
Jessie was doing well, she was slowly beginning to master her elemental powers, as well as her newly found super strength. Jessie then decided to become
her own super hero and work outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. She left without telling Nick and '' borrowed'' a suit and one of their motorcycles and began her long progress of becoming her true self. Jessie at first had a few run ins with the cops and S.H.I.E.L.D. but she knew what to do in the end. She began to succeed, until she got in some trouble with Tigress, and they pretty much demolished a good part of the northern part of New York city. Jessie was sent away to the Xavier Academy and was trained to learned to control her powers, as well as her temper.
When she turned sixteen and a half, almost a year since she left N.Y Professor X. told her to take her and her team, who are Kitty, Bobby Drake, Spyke, and herself to N.Y and get to know the newly assembled Avengers. And little did they know that Tigress had newly joined their team. Since they had already had a rivalry between them when they first met, of course chaos would ensue from their second time together. Jessie and her team had some hard times with the Avengers and Tigress, but in the end it was a good idea that they went. Even though Jessie didn't and still doesn't want to admit it, she does think of Tigress as a sister and will just barely tollerate her constant pranks and such. Jessie and her team have been back in D.C for a few months now and things are just starting to get back to normal, will things ever be normal again, or will something come up and disstrupt their hope for peace?
