when you are in a port, every day seems like a brand new day for adventure. there was nothing you couldn't do, and jessica firmly believed it. in fact, she was convinced that she would become a hero, like her father. growing up in sunyshore with her twin brother, she did the best with what they had. she had decent grades, but she was always running off on some new adventure, or even just kind of having fun with her friends. to her, life had to be lived, and not always thinking of tomorrow. sometimes, you just had to be there today, and that was her daily routine. sure, dad was pretty hard on the both of them - it was expected for a hero to feel as if his blood would bring greatness - but she didn't mind. her dad was her biggest idol after all.[break][break]

she doesn't know exactly when, but something changed. her dad had dark dealings brought to light, and her life was shattered. she had always been kind of a daddy's girl, and those little skills he'd often encourage her to develop were actually an illegal set of skills. her mind couldn't wrap around why he would do such a thing. but jessica had always felt the odd one out, in the family of two men. she doesn't really understand what happened to her mother, and honestly she always felt closer to her father. but she always heard him mutter something along the lines of 'just like your mother' more then once.[break][break]

so she did what she thought best. she disassociated. to her, her father and her brother - and by extension, all men - had the same feeling. a sticky, disgusting feeling that she wanted to peel off. the moment she turned eighteen, she seized on an opportunity she had been offered by her boyfriend at the time. he said he had a life of adventure laid out for her, and taking only her cellphone and the rest of her precious things, she packed her room. and then she was off. what her boyfriend had meant, is that he had a training trip. and said trip took her far, far away from sinnoh. in fact, during that trip she had picked up quite a few tricks with her life, mostly what she wanted to do. breaking up with her boyfriend, she turned around and headed back to sinnoh in time for her twenty-second birthday.[break][break]

since then, she's been working as a ranger, having signed up promptly onto the organization. she decided to go on her own pokemon journey now, for real, in order to get some more experience with the world. she had to restore her family name, no matter what.
