Jessica is a student at the Blue Heron Institute. Lives out by Pic River probably.<ref name=":3">>SAY “He’s a bit of a prat though. Um. Jessica is more of a generalist. Went into the Ruins to look for a family member. We ran afoul of her twice before we convinced her to join up. Younger.”

Personality

Relationships

She sometimes works alongside her fellow students at the Institute. Like them, she is presumably bound not to harm anyone associated with the Institute.

Appearance

Black, with narrow eyes, thin lips, and high cheekbones<ref name=":0">Jessica had deep brown skin, narrow eyes, thin lips, and upswept cheekbones. Her raincoat was heavy duty, yellow, but rare in how much abuse it had taken. The yellow was cracked, and the cracks were almost a style of their own, and the shoulders of the coat had been battered down to meet the shape of her narrow shoulders. - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z</ref>

On one occasion, she wore a heavy, extremely worn yellow raincoat.<ref name=":0" />

Abilities and Art

Specializes in The Ruins,<ref name=":1">“Jessica-”
“What do you need?” she asked.
“Perimeter? And warding our immediate vicinity? Ray and I are doing

some of it, but if you could keep outside interference at bay, and

layer our defenses? The closest realm to the Devouring Song is the Ruins, and that’s your specialty.”
“Sure.” - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z </ref> but a generalist.

She's able to construct wards<ref name=":1" /> by drawing protective circles on the ground in chalk.<ref>Jessica went to get more stuff for drawing lines on the ground in chalk. - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z</ref><ref name=":2">He handed out the walkie-talkies.
“You guys were using these when you came to get me in the Ruins,” Jessica said. She was drawing out a circle. Essential things had already been gathered within.
“They work anywhere.”
She nodded.
“Hey,” Nicolette said, joining the conversation by sidling up to Zed,

her shoulder touching his.  She seemed happy, in the midst of all of

this. Her best self. She looked in the direction of Brie, who was dealing with the four participants. “What’s up with you and her? Are you a pair?”
Jessica snorted, then bailed from the conversation. - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z </ref> She has little wooden animal figurines that power or are otherwise linked to her diagrams.<ref>Children advanced, touching and pressing against the invisible wall that extended up from the circle that Jessica had drawn out.
Jessica held out a string with a wooden owl figurine on the end. The

string was fraying visibly.  She held up another, this one with a

frog. Same thing, but slower. “Both wards are getting chewed up. Outside barrier is going fast. She’s bringing in help.” - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z</ref>

She was also able to draw out temporary bindings in her own blood to hold the Hungry Choir inside Brie.<ref>Jessica reached them first. Zed pointed at Brie, and Jessica began using blood from her own wounds to make lines on Brie’s skin. A temporary thing. She’d need something more lasting. - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z</ref>

She was able to cure a snakebite somehow.<ref>It took four and a half hours to get sorted out at the emergency room. Eloise hadn’t been a huge

help during the event, but in a situation like this, she was in her

element, manipulating connections and smoothing things over. It helped to ensure the hospital staff didn’t ask too many questions about the people with all the bite marks, blood loss, the various venoms running through them… it had only been a few poisonous snakes, and Jessica had been able to help with that. The benefit of having a wide knowledge base. - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.z</ref>

History

Before the Story

First encountered the BHI crew in the Ruins,<ref name=":2" /> looking for her brother. Initially their interactions were hostile but on the third encounter they convinced her to join them.<ref name=":3">>SAY “He’s a bit of a prat though. Um. Jessica is more of a generalist.
