'''Jessica Albert''' is a character originally introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]''.

'''Jessica Albert''' is a character originally introduced in {{DQ8}}. She later appeared in ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' and is one of thirteen playable characters in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''.


A girl from a good home, Jessica comes from a wealthy family in the small village of [[Alexandria]]. However, contrary to her upbringing, she is unskilled in the social niceties and expected behaviour of her environment, which often leads to conflict with her mother. She joins up with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]] for personal reasons, strengthening the party with her flair for offensive magic. A definite firebrand, Jessica is nothing like her mother, who expects her to be prim and proper in public.

Magic is far from Jessica's only strength; she is also an outstanding fighter. Whips, staves, knives, and later swords are her weapons of choice.

She has a purple, low-cut bustier that is tied off to a choker, both with golden wing decorations. In the middle of the corset is a gold lacing that shows her skin, but can look like a zipper if not examined closely. The back has gold lacing similar to the front. She has a miniskirt attached to the blouse, but most of her legs are covered by white, decorated with purple and gold, tights that are attached to the bustier by a garter. She wears long, white gloves with a similar decoration as her tights. She has wings (strictly for style) on her back and her pigtails are tied with purple hairbands with gold decorations. This whole outfit strongly resembles the [[Staff of resurrection]].

==Story==
==Story==
Jessica is introduced after The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]] and Yangus reach the top of the [[Tower of Alexandria]], mistaking the two as the murderers of her brother, Alistair, who was in truth slain by [[Dhoulmagus]]. After witnessing a vision of her brother's demise and learning it was the evil jester, she has a change of heart and resolves to avenge her sibling. However, her mother Rosalind initially refuses, causing a very vocal falling out between the two. Jessica is next seen in [[Port Prospect]], demanding that the ferry transport her to [[Peregrin Quay]] in spite of the danger posed by a [[Khalamari|sea monster]] just outside the harbor. Noticing the group, she reintroduces herself and apologies for her actions in the tower.

Jessica is next seen in [[Port Prospect]], demanding that the ferry transport her to [[Peregrin Quay]] in spite of the danger posed by a [[Khalamari|sea monster]] just outside the harbor. Noticing the group, she reintroduces herself and apologies for her actions in the tower.


After joining the group and traveling to the [[Maella Abbey]], Jessica plays a key role in wringing in the flirtatious Angelo to the group's cause. Later on, after destroying Dhoulmagus in a [[Dark Ruins|profane temple]], Jessica retrieves the scepter from the jester's ashes to return it to castle Trodain and is suddenly [[Evil Jessica|possessed]] by its dark power. After a difficult battle in the town of [[Arcadia]], Jessica is freed from the staff's influence and explains the truth about the party's real enemy. By the end of the story, Jessica has reconciled with her mother and informs the player of what has transpired after the defeat of [[Rhapthorne]]. During the ending credits montage, Jessica is shown entertaining a group of children with her spells.

"It's hard to believe the lord of darkness, this single being, is threatening the entire world. What gives him the right?! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!!! "

Jessica Albert is a character originally introduced in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. She later appeared in Itadaki Street Special, Fortune Street and is one of thirteen playable characters in Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below.

A girl from a good home, Jessica comes from a wealthy family in the small village of Alexandria. However, contrary to her upbringing, she is unskilled in the social niceties and expected behaviour of her environment, which often leads to conflict with her mother. She joins up with the Hero for personal reasons, strengthening the party with her flair for offensive magic. A definite firebrand, Jessica is nothing like her mother, who expects her to be prim and proper in public.

Magic is far from Jessica's only strength; she is also an outstanding fighter. Whips, staves, knives, and later swords are her weapons of choice.

Appearance and personality

Jessica has red hair in a form of long pigtails with a few strands of it hanging over her face. She wears a purple blouse with sleeves starting at the upper part of her arm. She has a yellow, corsette-like, article of clothing around her stomach and waist which has a auburn belt around it that a small pouch hangs from. She has a long, maroon colored skirt that has a white frill at the bottom. You can see that she has brownish-black tights under the skirt, and pointed, brown shoes, in which the tights are tucked into.

Jessica possess a sharp tongue, and has a knack for seeing through people. She is a very stubborn and at times aggressive young woman, though her intellect keeps her from making rash decisions. This same wisdom gives her immense skill in the magical arts, learning several spells after only studying for a short period. Due to recent events afflicting the Albert family, Jessica has a slight difficulty in trusting others. This is reflected in the time it takes for her to properly join with the Guv and Yangus, and the prolonged friction between herself and Angelo. Once a person has proven their sincerity, however, Jessica becomes much more jovial and approachable around them. Coming from old money, Jessica carries an upper-class air about herself and occasionally speaks down to people without meaning to.

Outfits

Jessica's appearance changes when she equips certain armor, such as:

Appearance Outfit Name Description
Jessicadq1.jpg Jessica's home attire This is the outfit Jessica is first seen wearing when meeting her, a prim piece that alludes to the Albert family's social standing. This is Jessica's only outfit that doesn't show off her mature curves. She has a white dress shirt with a red tie. Her skirt is long and black.
Jessicadq0.jpg Jessica's default clothing This is Jessica's regular clothing, first donned after she vacates the Albert mansion.
Jessicadq2.jpg Dancer's costume This outfit consists of a white bra, and a reddish-orange skirt tied off at the hip.
Jessicadq3.jpg Bunny Costume This outfit appears when Jessica wears the Bunny suit, Bunny ears, and Fishnet stockings at the same time. The result is a black Playboy Bunny outfit. If Jessica has only one or two of the garments equipped, King Trode will demand that the player finish the set on the Battle Records screen.
Jessicadq4.jpg Magic bikini This outfit has low defense but increases Jessica's magic greatly. This outfit is a blue and yellow bikini with a miniskirt-like article of clothing around her waist.
Jessicadq5.jpg Dangerous bustier The only purpose of this outfit is to use it in the Alchemy Pot to make the Divine Bustier. And for a little bit of eye candy. It is black with a open slash in the front which is laced to keep from falling apart. It straps around the back and and the part covering her rear is shaped like a heart.
Jessicadq6.jpg Divine bustier Jessica's best outfit. It increases her evasion and defense greatly. She has a purple, low-cut bustier that is tied off to a choker, both with golden wing decorations. In the middle of the corset is a gold lacing that shows her skin, but can look like a zipper if not examined closely. The back has gold lacing similar to the front. She has a miniskirt attached to the blouse, but most of her legs are covered by white, decorated with purple and gold, tights that are attached to the bustier by a garter. She wears long, white gloves with a similar decoration as her tights. She has wings (strictly for style) on her back and her pigtails are tied with purple hairbands with gold decorations. This whole outfit strongly resembles the Staff of resurrection.

Story

Jessica is introduced after The Hero and Yangus reach the top of the Tower of Alexandria, mistaking the two as the murderers of her brother, Alistair, who was in truth slain by Dhoulmagus. After witnessing a vision of her brother's demise and learning it was the evil jester, she has a change of heart and resolves to avenge her sibling. However, her mother Rosalind initially refuses, causing a very vocal falling out between the two. Jessica is next seen in Port Prospect, demanding that the ferry transport her to Peregrin Quay in spite of the danger posed by a sea monster just outside the harbor. Noticing the group, she reintroduces herself and apologies for her actions in the tower.

After joining the group and traveling to the Maella Abbey, Jessica plays a key role in wringing in the flirtatious Angelo to the group's cause. Later on, after destroying Dhoulmagus in a profane temple, Jessica retrieves the scepter from the jester's ashes to return it to castle Trodain and is suddenly possessed by its dark power. After a difficult battle in the town of Arcadia, Jessica is freed from the staff's influence and explains the truth about the party's real enemy. By the end of the story, Jessica has reconciled with her mother and informs the player of what has transpired after the defeat of Rhapthorne. During the ending credits montage, Jessica is shown entertaining a group of children with her spells.

It's strongly implied that Jessica harbors feelings for the Hero, but appears to accept that he is in love with Princess Medea. In the 3DS remake of the game, the player is given the choice of pursuing a relationship with Jessica or Medea. As with the marriage to Medea, in order to have The Hero marry Jessica, the Argon ring must be obtained.
