Born in 2309, Jess is of dual heritage: human and [[Gideon]]. From her Gideon mother, she inherited the regenerative abilities and long lifespan of that species. From her human father, she inherited his impatience. This ironic combination is not lost on her. | |||
After growing up on Dracos V, she went on to study viola performance at the Aldebaran Music Academy. She later performed for the next couple of decades with various productions and orchestras until she returned home to help her ailing father with his trading business in the final years of his life. After he passed away in 2359, she went back to her first love of music but found the life of a traveling musician quite lonely. She came back to help her mother and found various odd jobs on and around the colony. | |||

===Starfleet Career=== | |||
Eventually, Jess decided to return to university studies and entered Starfleet Academy in 2385, majoring in operations with a minor in security. While at the Academy, she continued playing the viola in the campus orchestra as well as participate in the Academy's track and field team. She graduated in 2389 and was assigned to the {{USS|Drake}}. By 2391, she had been assigned to the recently relaunched {{USS|Mercury}}. | |||
===Personal Life=== | |||
Confident in herself, but pretty laid back, Jess is a capable officer who's not necessarily thrilled to be working on the ''Mercury''. Still, she gets along well with Lieutenant JG {{n|Nick|Falls}}, the ship's tactical officer whom she met when they were both assigned to the deep space science vessel. | Confident in herself, but pretty laid back, Jess is a capable officer who's not necessarily thrilled to be working on the ''Mercury''.

Her personal life has always been somewhat of a mess, with a string of bad relationships. Just since she joined Starfleet, there was Johann "Johnny" Schultz, who cheated on her with her roommate at the Academy. Then there was Lieutenant Huynh who had been serving on the ''Galaxy'' class starship {{USS|Endeavour}} and who she later discovered was already married. Finally, there was Anton. The less said the better. | |||

Nick's own divorce though in 2391 comes as sobering news. | ||
