Appearence:

Jesse is a beautiful young, latina women. And having recently moved to California from Mexico, this girl’s ancestry shows up in every little thing about her. Not to mention, she’s determined to keep as much of her heritage with her as possible. Now, this angel is a beauty, and so starting from the head. Her hair is long, thick, and holds a slight wave. Shiny, and healthy, her dark brown-almost black hair, falls down in soft curls around her face and down to her waist. She has always taken the best of care with her hair, keeping it healthy, and shiny, and easy to maintain. Which wasn’t an easy task when she lived in Mexico. She has a baby doll face, that is already obviously turning into a more grown up appeal. While some of her baby fat still clings to her face, it gives her an innocent touch, mixed with more woman-like high cheek bones. Her lips are full, and are usually tinted with a soft peachy pink color. Her eyes are evenly spaced in her face, and are large, and expressive, a pretty but soft hazel, a mix of light brown and an almost gold color. Long black eyelashes surround her eyes, and dainty, maintained eyebrows arch just slightly over them. She has a dainty, but often described as ‘cute’ nose. Her chin isn’t as prominent as a males, and blends in well with the rest of her body. Her skin is the rich, natural tan of any latino. She has a long, slender, aristocratic neck, and smallish shoulders, that slope easily, making the transition into arms, and small, delicate hands. She has the perfect ‘hour glass’ figure, which is seen by her ample chest, sizing up to be a healthy B. Her waist is slim, and petite, before flaring into gently rounded hips. She has long legs, tiny ankles, and rather small feet.

Jesse’s clothing style resembles a mix of her own style, her Mexican heritage, and the wealthiness of her own family. Her clothing style usually shows of the hippest of trends, usually with brand name labels from the top designers-one of the perks to being her daddy’s little girl. But even with her Americanized, fashionable clothing, she can’t help but make the style her own, by mixing in jewelry from Mexico, or a little scarf from Mexico, or some other similar accessory. She loves flared, slightly worn jeans, especially when around the house, and pairs them up with pretty little tees, and simple shoes. But when she’s out around others, she tends to dress in more fashionable attire, clothing from top lines. It’s not wonder, with a closet like hers, mixed with her unique beauty (not to mention her Mexican accent) that she tends to be as popular as she is.

Jesse has a few piercings, and even some tattoos as well. Her ears are pierced, twice in each ear. And usually consists of one pair of hopes, and either another set of hopes or a set of studs. Her belly button is also pierced, though she is seen with that piece of jewelry in place, just as often as she is seen with out it. Her tattoos aren’t very often, and all issue some sort of special meaning to the pretty, little Latina Girl. Between her hip and pelvis bone, she has a small butterfly, with the words ‘Dream Big, it’ll take you far’ scribed out next to the butterfly. On the inside of her right wrist, she has two crescent moons interlocking, and on the inside of her left ankle, in the crook of her ankle bone, is a tiny little peace sign. Although each little tattoo has a special meaning to her, they are meanings she tells no one.

Jesse is rarely seen repeating jewelry, which is why it is possible to say she has no specific accessories on at one time. Except for a single, pretty little leather bracelet on her wrist. This tiny bracelet consists of a leather thong, with a small gold coin, in which the words ‘Angel’ is scribed on one side and on the other ‘Jessenia’, and with two tiny black beads on either side of the gold coin. It was a gift from her mother, and now she rarely takes it off.

Personality:

Jesse is quite the young woman, special, unique... different. She's what many would describe the 'popular' type. Loves being one of the best dressed. She's different, exotic, and this is shown just as much in her personality, as it is in her appearance.

Exotic; Jesse is extremely exotic, though it's hard to see in her personality. One of the best ways this is seen, is by her abstract way of viewing things. She tries her best to always see the positive in life, and can only view the glass as half full. She spins a whole new take on what ever she puts in front of her. But this doesn't stop her from being the normal popular girl, especially when she was still in Mexico. She was top of the top, part of the A-list. She had the hottest styles from almost impossible to find designers. She's daddy's little girl, and nothing was to much, or too expensive for Jesse. And that is still her father's opinion on the matter.

Mexican; Being Mexican is a huge part of Jesse's personality. From the accent she has, a rich Mexican one, to the Mexican styled accessories and jewelry she wears. Along with keeping up with that fashion, Jesse also has a tendency to mix her Spanish with her English. She also holds strong to heritage, from her Mexican beliefs, to keeping contacts with her friends in Mexico. Especially, considering, she's hoping she and her father won't have to stay that long in California, America.

Naive; Jesse has long been described as Naive and Innocent. She's not slow, or even dumb... In fact, her intelligence level is really high. It's just merely, she hasn't had much in the department of suggestive comments, and what not, directed her way, which has led to her having an almost innocent quality to her. She's not used to the idea of pimps, or guys who just want to use her. Because, in the world she came from, no one dared to do this. This has also lead to her having the illusion, that almost every male has an inner 'gentleman' with in him. And all it takes is a little 'womanly charm' to find it.

Sweet; Jessenia is a sweet heart, and one of the few 'popular' types that don't fall under that category of 'royal jerks.' In fact, Jessenia is likely to treat anyone nicely. Jesse might have the air of a royal witch, but the truth remains, this girl is as sweet as candy. She rarely has a bad word to say to anyone, and she is often seen with a smile on her face, that she is willing to direct towards anyone.

Anger; Even angels have problems. Jesse has a itsy bitsy problem with her anger. It isn't really something that strikes up often, but when someone works their butt off to annoy her, or perhaps said something, or did something she found rude, or vulgar... Well, you find it shining through. She can hold a grudge like no other, and while she doesn't exactly do revenge, you had better not want her daddy to hear that you have spited his little girl. Her anger comes from her father, and is but a fraction of his own. And to him, his little angel is his everything.

Compassionate; Everyone has tiny problems. But Jesse also has her big points. Jesse is a really compassionate person, whether it's towards the rights of others people-something she rarely actually supports- or the rights of some poor defenseless animal. She is a strong believer in volunteer work, though she rarely does anything big on her own time. She prefers to take part in, on the smaller things, that are less likely to get noticed, because she feels that it's those smaller things that really show you care, because it proves your not just 'acting' compassionate, to make yourself look good.

Romantic; Jesse is a true Romantic, and it shows in her every way of life. She loves to hear stories of true love, love at first sight, and even soul mates. She believes that her 'perfect' guy is out there somewhere, just waiting for her to find him. She believes strongly at the old fashioned ideas of dating. Men pay for the dates, bring you flowers just because. Leaves you notes to show he cares. Calls you just to hear your voice. That sort of thing. And while she has never seriously dated, she knows what she wants, and she hopes that someday, she'll get it.

When it comes to more opinionated parts of Jesse's personalities, you can find just how different the young Latina is. Jesse loves Mexico, and only speaks Spanish around her house and her father. She loves to go out, and have fun. She absolutely lives for Parties. As long as there is Music, Dancing, and Many, many people, she's usually there. Though, mind you. She's not shy about lying to the authorities to party her way, and with a fake ID, that can pass for the real deal, it's no surprise that she's so used to having her type of fun. She loves flowers, and cats. And her favorite time of day, is Midnight. She loves to star gaze, and take walks at night, finding them to be the most peaceful time, as well as being the only time she can find true content ness in the world.

While Jesse's lists of likes, can honestly go on forever, she does have a list of dislikes too. And some of the items upon it might shock you. Jesse isn't fond of blood shed, or any type of fighting. Which is why she steered clear of the west wing of her mansion in Mexico, do to the fact that the 'torture room,' as her father dubbed it, is found there. She is rather, quite the pacifist. She doesn't appreciate being scared, though she loves doing the scarying. She hates to be laughed, or taunted at. And despises anyone picking on anyone else. She hates the snow, and cold whether, and thrives for the warmer temperatures near the equator.

Now, with every individual comes some secrets, and Jesse has some of the most shocking secrets of anyone. While many wouldn't guess it by the girl's first appearances, her biggest secret, the one that is only known by the higher courts, and people with gang and mob affiliations, is the fact her father is a huge Mob Boss, from Mexico, who has recently located his family to California for a bit.

Anything else about this unique, special girl can be learned through actually meeting and talking to her.

History:

Jesse's history is quite the history. Not something many usually hear about. She was born one stormy April day, April 18th, to be exact. it was early in the morning when her mother went into labor, and immediately a doctor was called. Her father doesn't trust hospitals, and wouldn't let his beloved wife give birth to their first born in one. So, it was in her own home, that Jesse was born to. While it was shocking to see a Mob Boss's first born turn out to be a daughter, her father, Damien; absolutely adored her. And from the moment she was born, it was obvious, the special bond the two already had.

Life was easy for Jessenia, living in a mansion, servants tending to her wishes and desires. And of course, she was daddy's little angel. Jesse's first syllable was papa. Her first word was mi'apa. She loved her father, and it was one of those few things that just seemed like no other choice. When she was two, it was the first day her father decided that the he'd take Jesse out of the mansion, and surrounding acres, for the first time. You would have thought the little girl was a visiting president, or something, what with all the guards she had, when her father took her into town. He wouldn't even let anyone else touch her. She was his little girl, and he was the one who was going to take care of her.

When she was five, her father took her out to buy her a horse, deciding his little girl needed what ever she wanted, and after watching her father and mother ride one day, when she was three, she'd talked them into taking her with them, until she became old enough to be able to get her own horse. Immediately it became obvious just how much this girl loves horses.

Her next big turn in her life was when she was six, and her mother managed to talk her father into sending her to public school. At first her father absolutely hated this idea, and every night, her father and mother would argue about it, till finally her mother talked her father into it, and she was signed up for school. It was a whole new experience for Jesse. For the first time in her life, she was around other individuals, and it was also where she met her best friend, a blind boy named, Rapheal; nicknamed Yatzi.

Yatzi and Jesse quickly became friends, but wasn't until she turned 10, that she met some other people, one happened to be a girl named Aidele, who soon become her other best friend. Between Addy, Yatzi, and Jesse, she finally had a close, small nit of friends, of course, it wasn't till a few years later, when she turned 14, that it became public knowledge of why she always looked so good, and why so many adults never spoke about her, or her father.

When she turned fourteen, an older student, a male... tried to rape her, and when her father discovered what had happened, he'd instantly put a price on his head. And it was also the first time she meet Alejandro. Alejandro was an older man, eighteen, when she was fourteen herself. A bit of romance began to conspire, but nothing really big happened till she was 16.

When she was sixteen, the man from two years earlier, the one that had almost raped her, had approached, and tried to make some suggestions to her, and it had ended with Alejandro coming to her rescue and fighting him off. And what turned into from her thanking him, quickly turned into a quick kiss, then a full make out session, and the threat of more.

Which was when her father found her. Immediately she was whisked away, back home, and her father hid her away in her room, till just a few months ago, when he moved everyone here to California, and soon she was put into school here, in hopes that she could start over, and while she was upset for a while, she has finally accepted it, and is ready to officially start over.

Sample Rp:

Jessenia sighed softly, as she opted to ignoring her father this morning, rather than going and talking to him. It wasn't easy being picked up and moved from the only place you knew home. And, to be honest, at the moment, Jesse wasn't to pleased with her father, in truth, she's actually rather angry. She didn't find it fair that he was doing this to her. Hell, she couldn't imagine anyone, anywhere would find this fair. She had the perfect life in Mexico. A mansion she called home, a horse she loved dearly. And then she had to leave behind her two best friends, Yatzi and Addy. How is that fair, at all. It was enough to make her scream. So instead of going and talking to her father, this morning; like her mother had suggested, Jesse was going to go out... Somewhere, they had to have something that reminded her of home, right. THere had to be something. She was about to open the door, when her father came out of his study, Jesse? Going somewhere? She winced at his rough english. What happened to Spanish? Si. Came her one word reply. Her father sighed, and ruffled her hair, before allowing her to go out, but not before placing a shopping list in her hand, Pick up a few things for your mama, si? Jesse nodded, Adios, Mi'apa She said, before leaving the house.

Jessenia walked outside, before digging around in her purse, and pulling out her car keys. But one look at the car, and she decided against driving. It was early enough that not many people would be out anyways. It might be easier just to relax, and walk to the supermart. At any rate, it'd been to long since she'd been on a walk anyways. She zipped up her white and gold hoodie, and was relieved to have picked jeans rather then a skirt this morning, as she walked along the side walk. She twisted the leather bracelet on her wrist, an act she did often, as she walked, looking around at this new world she was living in. For now anyways, that is. Her father was already planning on her going to live at the boarding school they were sending her too, when they got all settled in. Another reason to be so upset about the move. She didn't want to be with out mama and papa, it just didn't seem right to not live with them. Though, she was curious to how her mama could have gotten her papa to agree to sending her to a live in boarding school. It wasn't something he'd usually agree to. And it seemed odd that he was willing to agree to it, especially so soon after moving to a new city, a new country. But Jessenia didn't think long, nor hard on this topic. It was none of her concern.

Jessenia stopped in the supermarket's parking lot, before sighing, and walking forward, and into the store. She grabbed a basket, and pulled out the seat, where you sit babies, to put her purse there instead. She quickly pulled out the shopping list, before beginning the shopping she'd promised her father. Then she realized a slight problem. Her mother had written in spanish, the store sported english. A sigh left Jesse, as she took extra minutes shopping, translating english into spanish-in her head-so that she could shop. She walked calmly through the store, occasionally putting items into the basket that were not on the list. Once she had everything her mother had asked for, she headed towards the register, where a young teen was working.

Jesse ignored the young man, as she put her items onto the conveyor belt, that would move them towards the man, and his machine, to ring them up. er, hola. She winced as the man tried to communicate, and instantly hated the way he tried to use spanish. She could speak english, she was bilingual, even if it was heavily accented with her spanish heritage. Hello. He looked surprised that she knew the word, before grinning slightly. I'm Matthew, I go to a near by public school. What about you? Jesse raised an eyebrow, before replying I'm Jesse. I just moved here, and am home schooled by a few dozen different members of the mob. She said it so calmly, and with a straight enough face that he seemed to buy it, or at least, that's what she thought as he began to finally ring up her items. I don't believe you. You going to to that boarding school aren't you. They seem to be the only ones that get transfers. It was all Jesse could do, not to say 'foreign exchange.' No wonder his school didn't get them, apparently he didn't even know what they were. Stupid kid. The moment, she thought those words, a flush appeared on her face, and she finally realized how rude she'd been. Being put in a terrible mood by her father, was really no excuse to have been rude. She opted for trying to start over, and gave him a pleasant smile, My father's suppose to enroll me, as soon as we get all settled in, and the rest of our stuff arrives from Mexico. She told him. He nodded, and smiled back, before giving her the total, and she handed him a credit card. Once she had the recipe in hand, along with her credit card, and her groceries in the basket, she went outside, before remembering she'd walked. Looking down at the seven or eight bags, she realized that brobably hadn't been the best i'de she's ever had. She was about to call her parents, when a black SUV pulled up, and the window rolled down to reveal one of her dad's people. She wasn't kidding about knowing members of the Mob. Get in, Miss Jessenia. I'll take you home. Your father says, next time, take the car. Jesse smiled, and got into the passenger seat, Thanks, Joseph. She said, and for a moment, caught a quirk of his lips, that might have been a smile, as he peeled out of the parking lot, and drove her home.

Okay, so maybe her dad wasn't all that bad. At least he'd sent someone to pick her up... Maybe she would have that talk with him... later tonight.

the only problem with the application was the use of how many commas were in your sentences, but it wasn't a huge problem at all. just remember to reread, and if something sounds like it doesn't need a break, take it out, and continue on. but, like i said, there wasn't any problem with understanding her or what you were writing.

interesting history, as well. i haven't seen a lot of mob related characters, or anything apart of a crime family, but it is really interest-gripping. i look forward to seeing her in threads!
