Jessie

Brilliant but sometimes over-confident about her intelligence, Jessie approaches both academics and magic with methodical precision. She's quick-witted and fiercely independent, using humour as both a shield and a weapon. While confident in her intellectual abilities, she can be reserved on emotional issues, and is slow to trust people. Despite her sharp exterior, she's deeply loyal to those who earn her trust. She knows she is very attractive, but is dismissive of anyone who flatters her for her looks. 

Background - A first-year chemistry student at Oxford University, Jessie grew up in North London with a strong academic focus. Her exceptional intelligence led to her often feeling isolated from her peers, developing her characteristic wit as a coping mechanism. She is the most scientific of the group and tends to take a scientific analysis approach to problems, whether they are technical or personal. She's always excelled in male-dominated spaces but developed a repertoire of verbal self-defence mechanisms against unwanted attention.
