Jessica | 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. | ||
