ORIGINS
Jessica Dannington was the original star of the show, the story being called "Detective Jessica" until I roleplayed on Royale High with my younger cousin and came up with the idea of Jessica having a twin sister.
CHARACTER BACKSTORY
The Danningtons were a pretty rich family living up in Northern California with vacation homes in big cities like San Diego and Los Angeles. Francester Dannington was a product of extreme generational wealth but wanted to make a name for himself so he began a law firm.
He had many issues, especially with aggression, and took it out on his family often. His own mother used to refuse to be in rooms alone with him when he was a teen. When he married his wife Christina, it wasn't long before he took his anger out on her, hitting and screaming at her often. He spared the twins of much of his outbursts due to his high respect of a good father. Despite his efforts he was still mentally abusive.
Very often were the twins woken up by the sounds of screams and crying. Jessica was always very high-spirited with a strong sense of justice, often bursting into their room and screaming at her father.
One fateful night, the twins had a sleepover that they had been invited to by one of their classmates. At about 9 PM, the phone began ringing at the house they were staying at. It was the police explaining that their mother had been murdered and their father had been taken into custody. He was not put into jail and was released the following Friday. Even after the court-ordered therapy the twins went into, Jessica held onto the aggression and pain for years.
PERSONALITY/CHARACTER
While getting angry a little easier, Jessica is usually a pretty chill individual. She has gotten very good at being level-headed most of the time except when it comes to her father. Despite her deep hatred of him, she did inherit his anger issues, however, hers manifested in a much more justice-based light than his.
She has always been very caring. She was a lot more aware than her sister about certain things, especially people.
She never indulged money-wise, often resisting her father's attempts at buying her love.
On the terms of her love life, Jessica struggles with commitment issues and finds it hard to stay in a relationship with someone, especially if it gets serious (although she usually jumps ship long before then).
Appearance (outside of pictured)
Jessica has long curly hair she inherited from her mother. She has sage green eyes. She dresses very casually, usually in a sweater or t-shirt and pants. Her main colours are red and green, often wearing those in comparison to other colours.
TIMELINE/FUTURE
In her adulthood, she lived with her sister in an apartment in San Francisco. She had a fling with her next-door neighbour and became pregnant at 23. She later had a daughter named Eramine.
After Eramine's birth she moved to Portland, Oregon. She would later move back to San Francisco to be closer with her sister and her friend group from high school. She also took on therapy after her father's death once more on a search for peace.
