She finds the most comfortable clothes to be loose fighting when she's hanging out in her room in the forms of graphic hoodies, tee shirts, long sleeves, and sweat pants, comfort over looks is her style. But while out of her dormitory and not in the school unifroms and robes, and among her peers, she'll wear anything from jackets and jeans, to sweaters and hoodies, to sweatpants and t-Shirts. And when it comes to the more formal clothing, she'll either go with formal clothes in the form of jackets and jeans, or on the occasion dresses. She tends to lean more towards darker colors such as dark blues, reds, dark purples, and blacks. If she finds certain clothing uncomfortable or not her style, she will find a way to personalize it best to her ability and preference as well as comfortability.
Aside from clothing, she has two small 8mm guages, one in each of her earlobes. Among her body markings, she has an arrow tattoo on her left forearm. And as for odd markings, she has a few scars that scatter across her entire body, but none really stand out terribly so.

Jessie has piercing, dark blue eyes, with light brown and dull golden flecks in them, beneath expressive and full eyebrows. Because of her scars, she abstains from wearing a lot of skin-revealing clothing and because of that, when she goes outside she wears layers of clothing, regardless of the weather. Because of this preference, her smooth pale skin is almost ivory and is extremely soft to the touch.
She has a slim build that has been toned from keeping in shape and constant work-outs due to being the Quidditch captain. She has soft, plump lips that are of a rosy shade. Long, dark blonde, hair cascades down her shoulders and back in natural, soft waves and is almost always seen down or in pony tails. But, that's just what's on the surface, Jessie has scars all over her body, that she tends to keep hidden by wearing long sleeve garments or loose fitting clothes. Some people have asked in the past why and where they came from, all she ever says was that they were caused by an accident years ago, and that is the most that she has to say. As well as a plethora of scars from other things, mainly Quidditch, no one ever did say that it was the safest of sports, now did they?

Her three most noticeable traits, are that she is very skeptical of others, defensive, and somewhat scared, tending to keep herself at a distance, making sure that if the other person were to make a sudden move, she could try to easily counter in a defensive manner, due to her upbringing by her father. Teaching her to always keep her defenses up, as someone could easily use her vulnerability against her. But the counterpart to that, meaning the harder to disypher traits, is that she is very caring, loyal, and even to a certain degree, very clingy. Meaning that if you manage to get past her defenses and gain her trust, she will be more vulnerable, but to a point. And that is due to her mother and sister, they always taught her that no matter how bad the world had gotten, that she always had to let herself be vulnerable, and let her emotions take control of her every now and then. That it was okay to smile and laugh, and even sometimes cry, and that is one of the things she always carries around with her, the memory of no matter what, you have to remain true to yourself.
Aside from her cold exterior, she is actually a very vulnerable, and caring person. Once you can somehow gain her trust and loyalty, as well as time, you'll see that she's really a sweet, kind, selfless, protective, determined, loyal, and good hearted person. She just can't bear to lose anyone else, so she chooses to keep to herself unless it's someone she has a close bond to, then you'll know who she really is if you're lucky enough to get the chance.
If you manage to get to spend alone time with her, after gaining her trust, the real her will come out a little. She will be kind, sarcastic, make jokes, and even occasionally smile. And if she does smile, consider yourself lucky, as she hasn't smiled since the day her sister left home. But while in the company of two or more, she will remain guarded, and somewhat distant, but will tend to make jokes to ease the awkwardness that she may feel, as she never felt truly comfortable in groups. And while she is alone, she tends to get lost in her thoughts, mainly when life was what you could consider 'good'. Mainly with her family, her sister in particular. She'll sometimes think of jokes that she and her sister had, and will occasionally crack a smile due to it.
With adults she will be respectful and courteous, even if she does not agree with how they may be dealing with situations. She is a free thinker and will look at things in a more logical side of things, more so than emotions and feelings. Some say she is above her years in soul and mind, but she has just been through a bit for someone her age. While using her magic, she is a very powerful and gifted witch for her age. She is able to perform simple spells with utmost ease, and for the more powerful spells such as casting a Patronus, it will take consideration, but with easy focus she can hold the spell for some time, unless distracted or so on.
She is also a very gifted flier, being able to be a very fast broom rider as well as user, as she has spent many hours outside practicing in her free time, which eventually lead into her skills at Quidditch. She also has a gift with animals and can understand them better than she can with humans, in a sense she relates to how animals feel than fellow humans, which is why you can usually find her with the animals on the grounds if not in her room nose deep in a book. When in good company, she will easily be a good friend and entertainer, of sorts.
She can have a range of positive emotions if she is feeling the mood or mindset is appropriate at the moment. She has many quirks, good and bad, as that has added to her notoriety in the school among the faculty as well as students, both good and bad. As well as her being known as the Seeker and best member of the Slytherin Quidditch Team in recent years, rarely ever losing a game.

Carol Carter | Mother | Alive | Healer | 47 |
Jessie and her mother were never particularly close growing up, but in recent years the two have grown closer. Her mother was one of the first people she came out to and knew she was the better choice than her father, which had caused her to grow closer to her mother who is less prejudice and radicalized compared to her father.
Lucas Carter | Father | Alive | Former Death Eater | 48 |
Jessie and her father had never gotten along for as long as she can remember. They always seemed to come to a clash for whatever it was, always arguing. She never understood why her father was the way he is until she found out about his past, which he wasn't very discrete about his ways and views against people. Something that Jessie never understood or believed in. These two are more or less enstranged in recent years.
Rachel Carter | Sister | Alive | Dragon Tamer | 29 |
Jessie and her sister had been very close ever since she can remember, that was until her sister moved away for her job which she had gotten when Jessie had first started attending Hogwarts. The two often exchange letters back and forth whenever either ones has the time and Rachel is often the one she goes to to vent, and talk about some things in her life, even if she knows Rachel could care less.

H I S T O R Y
She was born as a the middle child to two Pure Blood parents, living among muggles in secrecy, as they thought it would be the easiest way for them to raise their children, until they had gotten older. As she had gotten older, five to be exact, is when her father began to drink, heavily. He was constantly drunk, and when he wasn't, he'd go out to get drunk. And while drunk he was always angry and quick to violence, more so than usual. She was seven when the abuse started, he started out only yelling and being more demanding, usually forcing her or her siblings to get him his beer, but as time when on it became emotional and physical abuse. Her father at least had the common decency to never abuse her. Then there was her mother, she and everyone pittied her. She was the doting housewife type, that did anything to try to keep the peace, but she was no saint. She started cheating on her husband by the time Jessica was ten, and she didn't hide the fact from her children.
Her father eventually found out, two years later when she was twelve, he found a used pregnancy test on the bathroom counter, and he confronted her, violently. He demanded to know who she was sleeping with, but her mother relented, resulting in her father beating her mother up infront of the children. As she stood there, trying to get him to stop, she screamed, the house shaking violently, causing her father to stop assaulting their mother. Her siblings were confused, as they didn't know that they were of magical decent. That was her first time that she was able to let out her anger and frustration, and it was on the person who made their life hell. Their parents kept their child's magical powers hidden from the world, as humans or "Muggles' were not so accepting of those with magical powers. But as time went on the children were separated as well as the parents separated, Jessie would start fights at school, mainly when older kids would pick on her for being the odd one, the loser, etc etc. the usual thing kids would do to bully fellow peers. When she turned twelve, she was enrolled into Hogwarts, allbeit her being sent there was considered a late student, as she was mostly considered 'too old' to be a first year. But as she proved to be powerful, almost too much for her own good, they accepted her, where she would reside every school year.
Ontop of that, she was also a unique student for not being a late enrollment, but as well as one of her hidden secrets and traits, the fact that she can talk to snakes. Something she had found out on accident when she was at a friend's house, and their pet snake had gotten loose, and wasn't found for three weeks, when Jessie was sitting down and waiting as her friend got a drink, the snake came out from hiding, and in her panic she had instinctively asked where it had been, and instead of hearing a hiss, she heard a voice from the snake. It had explained to her what had happened, she thought she was crazy, and talked with the snake and was told she wasn't crazy buy had a special gift and was to keep it a secret, and so she did. It was only when she was at Hogwarts the following few months that she looked at books to see if anything else explained of others being able to talk with snakes, when she came upon an old book that went into great detail about Parseltongues and how it is an inherited trait. She had practiced in private and in the woods surrounding the school talking with the wild and magical snakes, learning more of what she was able to do and how she could help them, furthering her love for animals, and finding that she could find friends with snakes, more than people.
But years had passed by, her secret hidden unknown to everyone besides herself, until she turned fourteen. She met someone that changed her life, for a while. It was a girl, a year older than her. She was kind-hearted and sweet to her when no one else was, and it was the first time she ever felt any sort of feelings for anyone, you could essentially call it love at first sight. They dated for two years and spent almost every day together, and she was the first person she told she could talk to snakes. She had thought she was crazy until she showed Sarah that she could, in fact, communicate with them. It helped show her that people, even Muggles could be trusted, as they didn't know that it was a magical trait. their lives were happy and nothing seemed to ruin it, even with the strange gift Jessie had, until a tragic event took place.
One day when they were casually driving with friends, when a truck driver came out of nowhere and caused the car to flip over several times. Thankfully they were both wearing their seat belts, or they would have both been killed. While Jessie only sustained a broken arm and fractured leg, her girlfriend Sarah had sustained much worse injuries, as she would soon find out. She had awoken inside a hospital room days later, to be told that her girlfriend was in a coma, and would most likely not wake up ever again, and if she did it was highly unlikely that she would be the same again. When Sarah eventually did awaken, months later, Jessie was one of the first to see her. To only come to the realization that Sarah couldn't remember who she was, never mind remembering who she herself was, or what had happened.
After many months of trying, Sarah told her to leave and stop trying. That she had no recollection of who she was, or feelings towards her anymore. That it would only continue to cause her pain and sadness to be around someone that couldn't even remember her own life and name, never mind someone else's. Jessie was broken-hearted by the fact that after everything she had been through, that everything she had done, she was told to leave. It has been two years since they have broken up, resulting to today. Where she has been attending Hogwarts for the past few years, resulting in her becoming a much stronger and skilled witch, as well as learning how to help others. Tapping into her healer abilities, and trying to figure out a way for her to try to help Sarah, if she can. As she does know using magic to make someone love you is forbidden, but now, it's for her to help Sarah remember who she herself is, and help lessen the pain and struggles in her life.
As her priorities are set, and she wants to become the best healer as well as witch as she can be, for not only Sarah or herself but for others like them. Now with things starting to happen at Hogwarts as best as the faculty tried to hide it from the students, Jessie as well as some longtime students have picked up on some odd occurrences and aren't sure on how to feel, for their safety as well as the safety of the new first years coming in, but what she does know is that she will do whatever she can to make sure the young students stay out of harms way, especially since The Battle Of Hogwarts still hasn't entirely healed from its wounds. Jessie hopes maybe she can help change that, especially now that she's been noticing some rather odd things going around on the school grounds, even if she isn't entirely sure of what it is.

Originally, Jessie was actually opposed to getting an animagus form when she was first asked about it, but after seeing her friends all get their forms, she was compelled to at least try to see what her form would be. It was only when it was revealed that her form was a rather small, albino raccoon. All of her friends had gotten amazing forms and she was stuck with a tiny racoon. But after being able to embrace the mayhem she could get up to after some consoling from Cas, as well as being unique as the fur was entirely white instead of the grey stripes, she has since had a knack of turning into her animagus form and hiding in her friend's robes when it trouble, or hitching a ride on someone due to the stubby legs this form has.
