~~About The Character~~
Personality: Jessie is a secretive, scandalous, roguish, and crafty jezebel with a very mischievous, flippant, saucy, presumptuous, and extremely nervy attitude. Often she subjugates others through her many forms of manipulation, extortion, low blows, and dirt she's able to obtain on people. Unprincipled and unscrupulous, Jessie often engages in rather questionable activities and thuggish behaviors such as conning/robbing, being an escort/pimp and mistress, engaging in elaborate forms of blackmail, etc.
Jessie has a chameleon, street-smart nature that enables her to blend in with any crowd and she's excellent at reading and profiling people. This combined with her free-spirited and bold demeanor makes her invaluable when it comes to infiltration and going undercover. Jessie has no shame when it comes to her body or sexuality, being quite amoral and lusty and her open-mindedness knows little bounds.
Jessie has deep emotional scars from her childhood and early adult life which have turned her into an angry, vengeful woman. The main way she expresses her trauma is through her wrath. She's very choosy about her friends and associates and often appears as tough-minded, unemotional, and ruthless. Jessie actually has low self-esteem underneath her behavior and has a sense of secret shame and humiliation. She is full of secrets, pain, anger, and vengeance.
Despite being picky about who she allows to get close to her as well as her numerous flaws, Jessie is a person who is devoted to, loyal, and protective of her closest friends and will do anything to be there for them and support them, even to the point of being self-destructive and reckless. Judging isn't her style and she'll befriend people from all different walks of life thanks to her chameleon nature.
Fears: Being raped, being powerless
Likes: Money, power, sex, dancing, music, books
Dislikes: Losing, her mother, homophobia, sex offenders, being broke, religion
Habits: Eating ice, twirling her hair
Flaws: Jessie is manipulative and has no qualms about using other people to get what she wants and will do whatever it takes, including lying and blackmail. She has a fearsome temper and setting her off will have disastrous consequences for those involved. Jessie has a difficult time showing her feelings and often refuses to do so, instead using her anger to cope with her scars, pain, and frustration. Jessie has a reckless disregard for the well-being of others as well as a lack of remorse at times.
Talents: What Jessie's most renowned for is being an escort/pimp as well as conning and robbing which are her main specialties. She's good at infiltration and can fit in anywhere which makes her good at tracking and getting sensitive information.
Physical/Mental Disabilities: Jessie suffers from PTSD and clinical depression.
~~The Character's Relationship With Others~~
Reputation: Jessie is often feared and considered somewhat of a legend in the criminal world while the general public usually have varying opinions on her. Some people like her while others despise her. To the people that Jessie befriends, she's the best thing that ever happened to them and she has their undying loyalty as they do hers.
Love Interest(s): L (Likes Him), Light Yagami (Is Unsure), Touta Matsuda (In Denial), or Stephen Gevanni (Likes Him)
Relationships:
L: Jessie first met L when she was 18 and her cousin Steve was murdered due to conning the wrong person. L was the one who solved the case, linking his death to a series of hate crimes committed by a cult similar to that of the Manson family and bringing Steve's killer to justice.
As a result, Jessie is incredibly loyal and grateful to L and is always at his beck and call for whatever he needs during a case. He's one of the very few people whom Jessie truly trusts and respects despite them being on opposite sides of the law. She has complete faith in his abilities as a detective but isn't afraid to call him out or say anything if she disagrees with him which happens quite often contrary to popular opinion.
Jessie will tease and mess with L when it comes to his many quirks and weird behaviors which is all in good fun instead of malice. She enjoys indulging him with sweets as well. She does like him a lot but because they're of two different worlds alongside her own flaws, she keeps her feelings hidden from him, thinking he deserves better.
Light Yagami: Jessie met Light when she first arrived in Japan and bumped into him on her way to meet L, eventually working with him when he joined the task force.
Jessie instantly sees past Light's good boy front that he puts on and isn't shy about letting him know. While she does think that he's hiding something much different and possibly sinister, she's unsure of whether or not he is Kira. But Jessie does find Light to be quite intriguing and enjoys his company. She's unsure of whether she should get closer to him because of her feelings that he's hiding something and keeps an eye on him as much as she can without drawing suspicion.
Jessie is physically attracted to Light and isn't afraid to say or show it. It's almost expected for her to make sexual innuendos and jokes towards him and even give him dating advice. Toying with Light is very enjoyable for Jessie especially since she can't profile or manipulate him, creating a "cat and mouse" game between them similar to the one between him and L.
Touta Matsuda: Jessie first ran into Matsuda when L recruited her for the Kira case and introduced her to the task force.
Unlike the others, Jessie treats Matsuda with respect and actually likes his brash and reckless attitude despite them being on opposite sides of the law. She'll often stand up for him when he's being demeaned or disrespected, understanding his need to prove himself. Jessie will often give Matsuda a confidence boost and happily engages with him when it comes to his television habit. She also enjoys infiltrating with him and isn't afraid to teach him a thing or two so he can improve as a cop.
Jessie will often deny that she has some feelings for Matsuda not just because of their opposite lifestyles but because she will sometimes use him as an outlet for her negative feelings which results in mixed signals. Jessie thinks that Matsuda has lots of potential and will support him when it comes to tapping into it but as far as personal relationships go, she pushes him away with a quickness.
Stephen Gevanni: Jessie and Stephen met when she joined the SPK following the death of L.
Similar to L, Stephen is one of the few people in existence that Jessie has absolute respect for. She finds his talents fascinating and is even a bit jealous. It's not uncommon to see Jessie and Stephen together whether it's discussing the case or fraternizing. She finds him very easy to talk to which is unheard of when it comes to her vast experiences with people. Because of this, Stephen knows some secrets about Jessie that she has vowed to take to the grave with her.
Jessie often flirts with Stephen and exchanges witty banter with him to the point where it becomes a trademark for the two and gives the SPK a good laugh. She will admit to liking him and having feelings for him but doesn't take things further because of her flaws and not wanting to give Stephen false hope.

~~The Character's Familial/Biographical Information~~
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois
Family:
Mother: Cassandra Carter | Alive
Cousin: Steve Wilson | Deceased
Son: Quincy Maxwell Jr | Deceased (presumably)
Daughter: Quelita Maxwell | Deceased (presumably)
Familial Background: Jessie's mother Cassandra gave birth to her when she was only 15. Being a teen mom, Cassandra was wild and crazy, often leaving Jessie in the company of neighbors and her grandmother while she went out partying or with men. Cassandra eventually became involved with a man named Reggie when Jessie was 7 and their relationship was surprisingly steady, Reggie even moving in them.
But it all came at a cost. A very severe cost that was gonna change Jessie's life forever.
Character Background: When Jessie was 8, Reggie began to display an inappropriate interest in her and at age 12, he began molesting and raping her on a regular basis. Although Jessie tried to tell her mother, it fell on deaf ears and she chose Reggie over her, even accusing her of being fast and promiscuous.
Completely shattered and broken by her mom's betrayal, Jessie ran away from home at 13 and wound up in the arms of her cousin Steve whom she was very close to. He was a transvestite who went by the name Lady Diamond and taught Jessie most of the things she knows when it came to conning, robbing, and escorting which began when she was 15.
At age 16, Jessie gave birth to twins: a boy and a girl that she named Quincy Jr and Quelita. The father was a notorious gang member named Quincy Maxwell whom she was in an abusive relationship with and was quite scared of him. When the twins were 2, Jessie tried to leave Quincy with them in tow but he took them and stated that if she paid 50 grand, she could have them back.
With Steve's help, Jessie gathered the money quickly and paid Quincy but instead of him keeping his word, he horribly beat her to the point where she was almost unrecognizable and took the twins from her anyway. After Steve discovered the injured Jessie, he got into a huge fight with him and Jessie discovered that Quincy killed the twins by throwing them over a bridge.
Devastated, Jessie went to the police and gave Quincy up on multiple crimes he had committed over the years which resulted in him getting a long prison sentence. Six months later, Steve was found hung and castrated due to conning the wrong guy. It was then that Jessie met the detective L who had been investigating a series of deaths that were being considered hate crimes and Steve's death was one of them.
After L brought Steve's killer to justice, Jessie pledged her eternal loyalty to him as thanks and although she did many nefarious things over the years, whenever L needed her help on a case, she was always there to help him. Now Jessie is helping the Japanese Task Force on the Kira case, assisting L once again.
