[CENTER][sup][color=7b537c]"Have you ever been kicked in the nuts by a superhero?"[/color][/sup][/CENTER]
[INDENT][INDENT][i]Young Jessica lost her parents and younger brother in a tragic accident that had her drenched in unknown chemicals. She awoke and was adopted by a caring family. During her young life she discovered her superhuman abilities. Unsure of herself at first, an accident in her practicing her abilities left her foling an attempted robbery by Scorpion. Relishing the joy of helping others she made it her mission to use her powers for good.

Jessica donned a costume and called herself Jewel. Things were great at first until she ran into Zebediah Killgrave, otherwise known as The Purple Man. Inexperienced, she was taken control of and forced to work for The Purple Man, helping him pull of crimes and attack others. She was held prisoner for months and forced to do hs bidding. An accident after attacking The Scarlet Witch left her injured and in a coma, but she gradually grew free of The Purple Man's influence.

Angry at first, Jessica started up her own private investigation firm, named Alias Investigations, and hung up her metaphorical cape for good. It was here she ran into Luke Cage and grew feelings for him. Though she opted to not be a hero her work became more and more superhero focused as she found herself helping others against villainy. Thankfully her relationship with Luke Cage softened her and she decided to be a help to the city once more.[/i][/indent][/indent]

[COLOR=af82b0][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]C H A R A C T E R   M O T I V A T I O N S   &   G O A L S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]Jessica Jones is one of my favorite Marvel heroes because she is a badass, take-no-prisoners type. She isn't afraid to punch someone in the face but she is also empathetic and willing to help out, even if it is accompanied with an eye roll. She's tough but has a heart and is willing to help people, especially children and young people, when they need it.

I can see her being a help to others on more than one occasion. Not only as a hero but also in her work as a private investigator. I think she has a nice mix of skills to be able to be a part of many stories as well as come into her own with her work. I think she has grown as a character and with her checkered past it makes it easy to put people in her history in a scene and see what unfolds.[/i][/indent][/indent]

Despite the intensity of the storm outside, it was nothing compared to the storm brewing inside the office of Jessica Jones.

Avery Worth sat at the desk outside of the main office, typing away on her laptop. She did not know what to expect when she signed up to be the receptionist to a superhero turned vigilante turned private investigator turned 'whatever the hell she decides now', but it wasn't boring. She could hear the muffled voices inside the office, the slow ebb and flow of emotions, mainly anger. The client, or soon-to-be-ex-client, had lied about his intentions when asking for Jessica to find his girlfriend. A sob story she took notes for, Mr. Demitri Blanche had bought a mail-order bride on one of those sites you just had to make sure was opened on incognito mode. When his lucky lady came she was less than thrilled to be seen with Demitri. Demitri, whose audacity outshined any of his other attributes, did not take kindly to being told no, especially by a woman, decided to take matters into his own hands, literally.

The lady ran away and rightfully so. However he came to Jessica in the hopes she would find her and ask no questions. Avery shook her head, knowing full well asking questions was what Jessica did best, outside of punching people and making sarcastic remarks.

Avery heard the tell-tale signs and go up from her desk and walked over to the door. She counted to herself. 3.......2......1.....and opened the door just as Demitri was thrown from the room. He landed with a loud thud against the wall, nearly knocking down one of the paintings Avery bought at a thrift store to make the office space more "comfy". Jessica stalked out coming up to Demitri. [color=white]"Please! I just want.."[/color] Jessica cut him off. [color=af82b0]"You just want what? Your "wife", term loosely used here, back so you can beat her until she's blue again?"[/color]

Demitri whimpered, but started standing up. [color=white]"I paid for her! I'm out thousands of dollar.."[/color] his statement was cut short when he felt a leather boot make contact with his manhood. He let out a high pitched wale only heard by the nearby canines and fell to his knees, clutching the only thing he really loved. [color=af82b0]"I don't care if she has the cure to cancer and the only way to get it is having her suck your johnson, you will not go within 100 feet of her from now on. She's happier than she's ever been and that's because she doesn't have to wake up to your ugly mug every day for the next ten or so years you have left on this mortal coil."[/color]

Demitri tried standing up again, though his knees shook as he did. [color=white]"I paid you! You didn't do the job I hired you for. I can sue you.."[/color]

Jessica chuckled and glanced over to Avery, who merely shrugged. [color=af82b0]"I dare you to find a lawyer even willing to hear you out, but just so we are clear. You paid me to find her. I found her. It was in the contract you signed. I can have that sent over to your lawyer if you want. Otherwise, if I find out you so much as googled the poor woman's name I will personally see that your teeth are shoved down your throat in pieces that you will be shitting them out for months. Do we have an understanding?"[/color]

Demitri stood there, attempting to say something. As he did Jessica stepped forward and he fell back, scrambling to his feet. He gave her a tense look before he left.

[color=pink]"You nearly broke the door. Again,"[/color] Avery said.

Jessica shrugged, [color=af82b0]"We can afford it."[/color]

Avery returned to her desk. [color=pink]"Be that as it may, that's the third client you kicked out. Not that the dick didn't deserve it, but we need steady work if we want to keep the lights on and allow me to buy that cute dress I saw in the store window."[/color]

Jessica grabbed her jacket in her office and put it on. [color=af82b0]"We'll be fine Avery. Work will come. In the meantime I'm heading home. I have a little girl I need to play with and a husband to make sweet love to to wash away the grime I had to muck in today."[/color]

As the door shut, Avery smiled. No, it was never boring here.[/color][/hider]
