History:
Jessa was raised on an island created by an old alliance between two witches that shaped a way of life for all the inhabitants. Children of one witch clan were born and paired with another kid of the other being and brought up on the idea that they would help each other reach their full potential in terms of magic, as well as the shifters being written off as familiars or guardians for the more common spell casters. After being selected by some sketchy ritual, the two would seal their bond and be paired as guardians for one another until death.
A girl named Hazel was chosen as Jessa's witch, they grew close very quickly and became nearly inseparable. As soon as she learned the trick to transforming into her 'bear form' Jessa would almost always be stumbling around as a little cub, doing whatever Hazel needed whether it be stealing some ingredients to a potion or scarring off a few troublesome boys. Hazel was ecstatic to learn her familiar was a bear, and used that to her full advantage. Ignoring the elders warnings that those matched with a large predator always had a slim chance of losing control of them, Hazel would smile along and tell Jessa they'd go on great adventures soon enough. As they got older both agreed to skipping lessons and ignored scolding from the older witches, quickly setting off on Hazel's promised 'adventure'.
Hazel took each town they came across by storm; Jessa helping when it came to protecting the witch from the enemies she made, and maybe swiping money from someones pockets once or...twice. It did come to a point though where the witches of each town* were starting to take notice of these little vigilantes (as Hazel had deemed herself and her familiar) destructive path through their territories.
By the time the two had hit Opal's town, the experienced witch had already been informed well in advance of the duo, she already had a plan to get rid of them quickly should they start any trouble. Which of course... they did. The older witch met the girls head on with a deceivingly nice little get together, that turned sour very quickly. (AND MAYBE JESSA WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IF YOU RP WITH HER B)c EHEHE)
It wasn't long, maybe two or three days after the exchange Jessa was waking up the next morning covered in the blood of the only person she was promised to protect.
Confused, panicked and heart-broken she quickly made leave of the town, running to disappear as fast as she could. It felt like she had betrayed Hazel, put a bad name to everyone back home and even the other familiars...
She was supposed to protect her, but instead was the one who murdered the witch.
Something was wrong with her, she didn't remember turning. She didn't remember anything from that night, and as she wandered she came to the discovery of realizing she could no longer willing switch between her forms. It took a few run ins with some unfriendly travelers on the road until she realized that anger was the only thing she could remember before that chunk of time was lost to her. Seeing this as her losing part of herself Jessa decided reluctantly that it was time to head back to the island and seek help. On her travels though, and thanks to one stranger giving her wayward directions she came across a rather ... strange looking mansion. Suddenly the thought of prolonging facing the inevitable anger from the witches seemed like a much better idea.
AND WAH LA.
WE HAVE AN ANGER BEAR.
Now, at Hiems she stays low understanding and fully believing that she may be losing herself to her own anger, but at least here she knew no one was hunting for her, right?
* In Hazel & Jessa's 'dimension' it's common to come across witches who stake claim to a town, some hide it and live peacefully among the humans & creatures, while others embrace it. In Opal's example, she's considered a strong witch and disposes of others in fear they have come to kill her to take her territory.
Abilities
Attributes
Primary Attribute: Strength
Secondary Attribute: Energy
Tertiary Attribute: Speed
Inferior Attribute: Mind
Powers:
[ BASICS ] -
(in human form)
- Enhanced strength & durability (very tanky to say)
- Increased stamina.
[ BEAR FORM ] -
Jessa's main power is her ability to shift into an animal form, though the mansion keeps her full form suppressed (in turns with the hex).
All this would do would up her basics even further because...well she'd be a bear 8^)
-the mansion's magic & Opal's dang hex keeps this power off the table, but she's found small loop holes; ex: her claws
[ OPAL'S HEX ] -
(A curse placed on the bear by another former witch from her and Hazel's island. Opal had no ill will to Jessa she was just the collateral damage in a feud between two witches.)
-The only benefits is it acts as a sort of 'buff' to her previous powers, only for negative reasons though.
-Increases the effect of her inner anger, and lets it consume her further. FUN TIMES. ALSO MAKES HER GO BEAR BUT IN BAD WAYS.
-Makes her unable to transform at will even outside the mansion (has to be provoked by a strong emotion; most commonly anger)
-Temporarily wipes out her memory, as well as when she wake sup will have no recognition of what may have happened.
-The healing process between shifting forms is lost (ie: Jessa's ear scar shouldn't be a thing).
Skills and strengths:
SHE STRONG!!
Her sense of smell is aS GOOD AS A BEARS AHAHA, as well as hearing. Even says she has an animal instinct feeling about her sometimes, lmao
The mansion fucks with her full transformation, but she can manage small things like claws. Plus, sHE HAS A MEAN BITE
Can find a way to fall asleep anywhere lmao
Weaknesses:
Ice & Fire magic
She's supposed to be able to preform small spells based on the earth but due to lack of training they end up much more harmful to both her and her allies :')
HER GODDAMN HEX REALLY MESSES WITH HER BRAIN OHHH BOY
The mansion's magic kinda messes with her as well, certain areas with stronger constraints kinda freak her out
When in a full mode of rage or anger she cannot control herself and becomes completely unpredictable o)-<
She's pretty slow when it comes to movement
Extra Information
Trivia:
Telling people she's taller than them, even when she's not (it's just a dumb joke).
SHE MAKES TERRIBLE BEAR PUNS SOMETIMES ... they suck, they suck so much but she still laughs
She's a kleptomaniac in her own right, likes to steal small things and decorate her room with 'em now.
It's obvious when she's a little 'off' her entire demeanor will change and she might have a few more...wilder looks.
Puts her head down when she starts feeling like she might snap. OR JUST LEAVES. It honestly depends.
Sews her own clothes/attempts repairs whenever she ends up flipping into bear form. Hence the mess.
She enjoys the gardens & herbarium, frequents them both
An early bird when it comes to waking up in the morning
the smallest acts make her super happy!! example: pick her a flower lmao
Perfumes & colognes fuck with her senses, she doesn't like most of them. She can deal with flowery ones just because she likes the scent.

Relationships
Hate Neutral/no opinion yet Feared/Uneasy around You're alright I guess Friends Close Friends I admire/respect you You're cute/Attracted to Love
| Kyung | - She enjoys teasing him about silly things, and finds him easy to talk to. Thinks his tattoos are cool af & can't spell his name right.
>> Though she might stray away from saying anything more than a mere acquaintance, Kyung has become one of Jessa's go to companions for her bizarre adventures around the mansion. More so by mere chance & luck of always running into him more than anything else; the bear doesn't know what exact 'spook' he is yet but she finds herself always poking him for more info! (Especially about that scar).
"He's very....pretty."
| Liz | - A helpful witch! The real winning point was when she valiantly swopped in to save the bear from starvation! Haha, due to being ... hopelessly lost of course. She keeps up nice conversations, Jessa enjoys listening to past mansion adventures.
| Priscilla | - UHHHH ... she was cool, but something about her frightens the bear.
| Tilde | - If you can make spicy food, you're a friend.
| Tue | - She's terrified of the imp. He haunts her in her nIGHTMARES

Roleplay Sample: (paragraph) She had enough. It was always like this, Ravenna was always right and Sienna was always wrong. But you know what ? That little tyrant could shove it up her -- oh wait. That little tyrant was the same height as her ... and had the ability to turn her into a block of ice. Well, this was awkward. But Sienna knew that as bad as her identical sister could be, she could also be a great ally. And no one wanted to be on her hit list, so why would the magicless witch try to push herself even further on it ? "You know what little sis ?" She smirked , emphasizing the 'little' knowing that Ravenna despised whenever Sienna pointed out that she was a whole seven minutes older. "I've thought about it a little more ... and you can have the last pancake." (script) Sienna: Well Ravenna, if you had remembered to pack the brush in the first place…we wouldn't be in this mess, now would we? *she sighed, tucking a strand of hair behind her hair as she unloaded another one of her sister’s boxes. She knew Ravenna like the back of her own hand but even this, a fit over a mere hairbrush, was new to her.*
