APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY
Appearance:
To describe Jessie's appearance in an all-encompassing way would be as elegant. She's very meticulous when it comes to crafting a look that is not only professionally acceptable but is also something, she is personally interested in maintaining. Jessie's hair is a light shade of pink, though in most light it appears almost translucent. There are slightly noticeable strands scattered about that bear a lighter tone which accentuates the natural pink color. You'll be hard to find her not having her hair in some sort of ponytail even when she's sleeping or resting as she finds this to be the most comfortable.
Her facial features are soft and feminine yet with a certain edge to them as they've been hardened over the years. She stands at an average height with an average weight and wears her clothing on the looser side which makes her look more petite than she actually is. In her day to day hero work, you'll find Jessie wearing a purple sleeveless kimono while in the field and when doing more formal things she'll wear the same type outfit with a more traditional look. When she's off duty you can find Jessie wearing a sweater and leggings most of the time.

Personality:
Jessie is a reserved young woman as she's spent so much of her time focusing on the spiritual side of things it's almost as if she's forgotten part of what it's like to be human. Her spirituality is something that while imposed on her at a young age due to her quirk is something she considers important to her overall life. She tends to remain calm and relaxed a majority of the time as she believes that those around her should take the time to stop and smell the roses instead of running around feverishly trying to accomplish whatever task of the day they have. Someone people could attribute this laid back attitude to laziness, but Jessie is actually an extremely driven person she just has clear priorities and a basic mantra she follows.
She likes to take her time to think and ponder before acting as she believes there are very few things in life worth rushing for. As a result relaxation, enjoyment and fun come very naturally to her. Her patience with others and even herself is another prominent feature as she remains calm and patient even under stressful situations and has a lot of self-control. This "lackadaisical" lifestyle is something she only likes to apply to herself since she actively encourages and supports others in whatever they are interested in.
Being effectively a mute has also made Jessie very expressive. Since she can't technically speak to others in the traditional sense she's had to learn to be able to rely on her expressions to really drive her points across. Even in situations when she's able to 'speak' with others she tends to use a lot of hand gestures and facial cues to make sure she's being understood.

HISTORY
For Jessie the word family is...complicated. She was born to Makoto and Momoko Murakami as the third and youngest child. Her eldest sibling, Tobias, is probably the biggest reason she found the concept of family complicated. At a young age before she was even fully cogniciant as to why she was told over and over again how much better her and her other sibling were than him and that their mother would always love them the most.
Jessie was born a mute because of her quirk so even at a young age while she could do everything else a child normally could she would never be able to say her first words or anything of the such. As a result, her mother decided it would be best for her to learn JSL as soon as possible which started when she was 8 years old. She still wanted her to learn how to read and write and so even though she couldn't communicate in the traditional sense she still got a chance to be a somewhat normal kid.
Although she didn't tell anyone when she was four years old she discovered that her quirk did, in fact, allow her to communicate with others. One day when she was trying to get the family dog's attention and mentally yelled his name and what completely caught her off guard was the fact that not only did their dog pay attention but it actually followed orders. It was at this moment that she realized that she could speak into people's minds as long as they were within this bubble that she could see. Ecstatic she ran to tell her mother and father but in the process, she discovered how they treated her elder half brother when they put him in the backyard to deal with it on his own. It was a difficult situation as she wanted to let her family know more than anything that she could communicate and yet after seeing how they treated her older brother she elected to keep her discovery silent.
While keeping her quirk a secret was important Jessie's curiosity got the best of her and so when she was alone she took the opportunity to study what she could actually do. Breaking into her brother's little library she found some books hinting towards religion and in particular Buddhism and aura definitions. Surprisingly a lot of what she read about in these books was exactly what she was experiencing as she could not only project her aura around her in a bubble, but she could see blue traces coming out of every living thing around her.
For years Jessie would continue to observe her brother from afar unable to tell him that she understood how he felt due to fear and even more when he moved away after he finished high school. This inability to act made her consider an outlet and communicating this to her parents she was enrolled in a school for Niten Ichi-ryū at the age of 14. It was a good outlet for her as between this, her mediation/spiritual training, and her normal schooling she found herself feel whole for the first time in many years. She hoped that with enough training and dedication she'd one day be able to perfect her quirk.
Aside from that there really wasn't anything notable about Jessie's life as she finished high school and went to college. At the end of her college career, she discovered that her brother, who she hadn't talked to for a few years at this point, has become a pro hero. Unlike the others who would spend most of their time on the frontlines, Tobias was much more discreet and even attempted to blend into the background so finding out this information was a battle in itself which took months. When she finally figured out who had approached him she approached them, showed off her quirk, and demanded to become a pro hero just like him. Unbeknownst to her that he was actually blackmailed into taking the job she was accepted into the organization.
