Background
Born in King's Crossing in Imperia, Jess was the youngest in a family of four children. Sadly little memory is left of her family's identity as they are all deceased, having died when she was only four years old by a sudden Draken ambush during a journey in Serena. Jess was the only one to survive the ambush and was taken in by the Sacred Order when they found her lying to the side of the road leading into the western valleys of Serena, the young girl finding a new home in Emere where she found an undying desire to become strong much like the Monks that trained there every day. Though it took extensive persuasion towards her carekeeper Teli Softflower, Jess was allowed to partake in the trainings that the Order oversaw, placing her among the other young ones of the Sacred Order.
Within the span of two years Jess discovered two things - one: she is really good with a polearm and two: she was not very liked by the other children who saw her as an outsider. By the age of 16, Jess was top of her class when it came to combat and she found herself at home fighting with a spear in one hand and a buckler in the other, diverting herself from the teachings that her mentors tried to have her follow and instead take up the ways of a Luxfordian Legionnaire. This would eventually cause Teli, her carekeeper and adoptive mother to encourage her to leave the village and return to her home planet of Imperia and find her place there instead. In one way, Jess was saddened because to her it felt like they wanted her to leave but on the other hand she felt it right, having never truly felt a part of the village and its way and always, deep down, wanting to go back to where she was from.
Jess would return to Imperia when she hit adulthood at 18, settling down in New Luxford with the help of Teli who oversaw that Jess would find herself a good place to live at. Now alone in the big world, Jess would take up adventuring and questing to find her living and this would lead her to discovering the Wyrmhunters when they visited the big city promoting their ways and recruiting new hunters into their ranks. She signed up for what they had to offer: slaying big monsters and security the safety of innocents, a purpose in life that Jess felt was right for her.
In a short time Jess would discover that the Wyrmhunters were more than just simple monster hunters - they were literal slayers and conquerors of Dragons. She'd witness first hand what it took to slay one and the process was exciting to her, allowing her the vigor to jump into the heart of the action they partook in and securing her own few kills within the next four years. However in that time she would begin to learn of the Dragons too, their culture and ways and that they weren't just a bunch of feral beasts killing because their instincts told them to, they are intelligent, more-so that she is and the idea of killing them began to be conflicting for her. She witnessed the hatred that some of the Wyrmhunters had towards Dragonkind such as Kosha Dragonbrass, the warlord of the Clan, who expressed immense fury and distaste towards what she calls "oversized lizards". Under her leadership, the Wyrmhunters didn't stop at killing Dragons, they also butchered them for their meat, bones and skin whilst also forcing the strongest of the Dragons they could capture to breed and turn their children into pets and mounts, putting these beings through a lot of pain and suffering.
Despite all she had seen, Jess stayed with the Wyrmhunters, partially because she saw them as the only family she still had and partially because she truly believed that their ways could be changed for the better, so Jess continued her work in the clan moving up the ranks till she became the very right-hand of Kosha herself, becoming the commander for her very own Wyrmhunter unit that she could control, which she'd do to steer the group in the right direction rather than act as ruthless killers.
