Jessica is one of the four personalities of the Merron twins, a pair of strongly bifurcated androgynes (see The Curse of Metamor for more info on bifurcation). She shares a body and a set of memories with her "brother" and alter-ego, Kal; the other twin's body houses her brother Joss and her sister Amber.
Personality
Jessica is quieter than either Amber or Kal, but she's quiet in the same way as a jungle cat — not because she's timid, but because she's on the prowl. She's extremely perceptive and attentive, and has a talent for picking up on verbal cues and body language that most others would miss. Whereas Amber is most at home adventuring in exotic locales, Jessica loves the urban scene — the runways of the fashion world and the nightclubs that never seem to be too far away from them. She's also a little bit in love with danger and the dark side of Metamor's nightlife — she finds the thought of sharing blood with a vampiric lover erotic and intoxicating. Jessica is a sensualist and a dyed-in-the-wool lesbian, and she takes advantage of her connections in the modeling world to hook up with her partners. She often uses Kal as a front to establish connections with attractive women who are primarily heterosexual, and then introduces herself to them and works on persuading them to try an evening with her on for size. She downplays the degree of separation in her and Kal's personalities, emphasizing that they are the same person with the same memories, and moves from there into "Haven't you ever wondered what it's like…?" Of course, these techniques were largely unnecessary with Morgan, who finds both Kal and Jessica sexy as hell and sees the relationship as a golden opportunity for her to get the best of all worlds.
Jessica is nearly as captivated with Morgan as Kal is, but at the moment that's more because of what Morgan is than who she is; "love" is a concept that Jessica is still working out, and she has yet to fully understand that loving a person is not the same thing as loving the way they make her feel, though the two often go together. At this point, Jessica wouldn't see any problem with having another relationship on the side in addition to Morgan, though that would worry Kal simply because he wouldn't be sure how Morgan would take it. Jessica, for her part, would be happy to work out some sort of threesome/foursome arrangement if it came to that.
Religion
Jessica is a member of the Church of Hedonism, a fact that Kal has kept hidden from both Morgan and Joss/Amber. She finds that its principles of liberation of the self through sensual delight (both sexual and otherwise) meshes well with her outlook on the world, but she is careful to make sure that Joss/Amber remains unaware of her activities within the Church. She has brought several fellow models into the Church at various times in the past, but she doesn't consider Morgan a likely candidate — and anyway, she wants to save this remarkable woman just for Kal and herself. She has completely discarded the Meraist faith of her siblings and parents and immersed herself in Suspira's philosophy of life, hoping to find something more real to her than what she grew up with.
Career Path
Amber and Jessica both work as models, and they are in no danger of losing that job any time soon. Both of them are at least as stunning as their male counterparts, and their towering height (185 cm) puts them literally heads and shoulders above their competition. Jessica keeps her hair cut short, alternating among a variety of smart, sassy styles based on whatever is currently in fashion. Both she and Amber are lithe and fit, and (predictably, for teegees) their breasts are amply sized and very nicely shaped. While their names are not well-known outside the modeling business, their faces (and bodies) have been seen around the world in dozens of magazines and commercials — and they are among the most frequently-downloaded women on the WorldNet.
Both Amber and Jessica would like to get into acting more extensively, since that profession tends to have a slightly longer "shelf-life" than modeling. Both of them have been featured in commercials, but these were not really "acting" parts so much as "show off our product" parts. Jessica has appeared in a few soft-core erotic pictures, mostly for the opportunity to make out with beautiful women, but she has limited opportunities to progress in that area because she has made it clear that she won't do scenes with men (and, perhaps more significantly, she won't let the sleazy directors and producers of such pictures lay a hand on her body).
Joss is blatantly disapproving of his sister's participation in pornography, even soft-core porn, and this has been a source of tension between them. Jessica loves her brother, but she wants him to butt out of her affairs — the way she sees it, she already has a brother to protect her if things turn ugly, and he can be there at any moment and in any situation, which Joss obviously can't. Amber doesn't say much about it, figuring that Joss says enough for both of them; she just wants to be Jessica's pal, the way they always have been.
