Jessica Albert is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member 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. Jessica is also one of the original leader characters in Dragon Quest Rivals and makes an appearance as a special hero character in Dragon Quest Tact.
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 is a beautiful young woman with a slender but curvaceous figure. Her red hair is tied in long pigtails with a few strands of it hanging over her face and she wears dangling blue earrings. She wears a purple blouse with sleeves starting at the upper part of her arm. She has a yellow underbust corset with lacings in the front 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 very stubborn and at times aggressive, 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 Hero 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 looks down her nose at people without realizing it.

Equipment

Outfits
Jessica's appearance changes when she equips certain armor, such as:
| Appearance | Outfit Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
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. |
 |
Jessica's default clothing | This is Jessica's regular clothing, first donned after she vacates the Albert mansion. |
 |
Dancer's costume | This outfit consists of a white bra, and a reddish-orange skirt tied off at the hip. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
On April 15, 2011, Jessica began appearing as a special guest at the Quester's Rest in Stornway. This could be downloaded through the DQVC using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, she will give the Hero different pieces of her outfit if certain conditions are fulfilled.
- Jessica's frock - Received when talking to her.
- Jess's tresses - Received when it is the player's birthday.
- Posh pumps - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
The player will receive the special Accolade Highly Strung Heiress if the Hero wears all of the parts of Jessica's costume. However, it is only possible for a female Hero to earn this Accolade as certain parts of Jessica's costume are female-only.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Jessica appears at Chateau Felix after the issue with Tom and Saber have been wrapped up. She has recently lost her personality and become a docile wallflower that felt homesick and sent word for her mother to rendezvous with her at the zoo. When the Luminary speaks with Rosalind, she explains that this is nothing like the daughter she knows and asks for help in restoring her usual bullheadedness. Rosalind also mentions that she's heard of certain books that can change a person's character, and suggests following any leads on those.
The player is given the option to have Jessica read a copy of The Champion's Code, Guns' n' Buns, and The Girl's Own Annual. The third book is the right one to set her back in her ways, and her mother rewards the Luminary with a Goddess Whip as thanks. Jessica initially thinks her mother is trying to convince her to return home and abandon her revenge binge, but then decides to spend time with her in the chateaux.
"Tee hee hee! You really are a marvel, Mother! I promise I'll never wander off on any silly old adventures again! I couldn't bear to be away from you for even a second!"
—Jessica's new docile personality
"Cor blimey! Mum! Wotchoo doin' 'ere, eh? If yer worried about me avengin' Alistair, don't be—I'm all set to chop 'ooever got 'im clean in two wiv me axe! 'Oo's this bloke you've brought wiv you, anyway? 'E don't look like much. An' wot's 'e got 'is 'air parted like Angelo's for? Don't 'e know not to take fashion tips off that lemon?
'Oo are you? You don't look like much. An' wot've you got yer 'air parted like Angelo's for? Don't you know not to take fashion tips off that lemon? But never mind all that rubbish—I need to get out there an' avenge me bruvver's death! I'm all set to chop 'ooever got 'im clean in two wiv me axe! "
—After being given the champion's code; speaking to Rosalind and then the Luminary directly
"Oh, I'm just fine Mother! But I'm not so sure about you! I mean, what are you wearing!? Wouldn't you feel so much more liberated if you shed a few layers?...Oh! Where did this handsome young man come from? You're lovely, aren't you? Tell me...have you ever had a puff-puff before? "
—After reading GnB, same lines when spoken to directly
"Mother! What are you doing here!? Wait, I know...You're here to tell me to stop thinking about avenging Alistair, aren't you? Well, forget it! I'm not giving up, and I'm not going home with you, and that's the end of it! I will have my revenge! It's my destiny, and no one can stop me! "
—After reading the girl's own annual
