BIO : Jessie/Drifter is the only child of Major Amelia Winchester father unknown.
Born three months after her mother's return from a two year assignment to the International Space Station Jessica strangely has no shared DNA with any of her mother's male crew members. This has lead some to speculate she is the result of an artificial insemination experiment carried out by either UKSA or a joint UKSA/NASA but neither government has any records of such an experiment.
Jess's birth was the cause of her mother's early retirement from the RAF and suspicion of collusion with unknown entities which resulted in her suicide when Jessica was 5 years old.
Taken into custody an made a ward of the state the tragic Orphan might have simply faded into obscurity had she not begun to display unusual abilities around her 10th birthday. Once more the young girl found herself at the center of curiosity and speculation as she was whisked away from public view and sent to a facility in the Falkland islands.
For the first three years Jessie cooperated her handlers then like most adolescents she began to rebel against restrictive authority both actual and perceived. Her rebellion began as simple refusal to cooperate with experiments and schooling which frustrated the scientists and her handlers; little did they know that they'd look back fondly on those days.
By her 15th birthday Jessica had enough of her unjust confinement where she felt alone and isolated by her condition. Using her abilities which her handlers had spent years defining then training she escaped the island and was spotted on a beach in Rio two weeks later but disappeared before she could be brought back. It was a full 6 months before Jessica was finally discovered again and this time convinced to at least cooperate high Her Majesty's government.
When the League was formed it was discovered that the UK had a secret research project to study humans they'd designated Meta sapiens and their prime specimen was codenamed Drifter (Jessica)
Under international agreement the United Kingdom had signed the treaty of Baltimore which forbade the militarization of Meta types and Jessica was declared an attempt at violation. Then after diplomatic pressure was applied the people at project Morgana which had been formed to study Jessie released their charge to join the other heros in San Francisco.
Excited but understandably nervous Jessie was flown to the city on the bay and released after she was presented with a uniform made of experimental materials and access to the pension owed her by the government.
