== Biography==
===Early Life===
Jessica was born and raised in Liberty City. Her mother, Catherine Williams, was a police officer for the city; meanwhile, her father, Nathan Williams, was the Deputy Warden at Alderney State Correctional Facility. When Jessica was four years old, her younger sister, Leah Williams, was born.
Growing up, Jessica was incredibly close with her father and gained a lot of admiration and respect for him. She spent many days hearing stories from both her parents about the wild antics criminals would get into each day, and slowly her desire to follow in her parent's footsteps increased.
Jessica's childhood and teenage years were fairly standard, with Jessica becoming best friends with a boy named Zach Jenkins. Jessica and Zach were incredibly close until at the age of twenty Jessica confessed to Zach that she had feelings for him, but he did not reciprocate those feelings and their friendship was torn apart as he was "disgusted" that she would even feel that way about him as he saw her as "a little sister." Losing that friendship was incredibly difficult for Jessica and she struggled for several years to open up to others again.
===Time at Alderney State Correctional Facility===
Jessica joined the Alderney State Correctional Facility as a corrections officer in 2016 at the age of 21. Her father had resisted letting her join for a while fearing that she would get severely hurt or killed while there, but after arguing it was either that or becoming a police officer in Liberty City like her mother, he finally relented. Jessica worked at the correctional facility for roughly five years, making it up to the rank of Corporal.
While working at Alderney State Correctional Facility, she met Everleigh Castle and they quickly became close friends. Eventually, Everleigh invited Jessica to her wedding as a bridesmaid, where she ultimately began to get to know her brother, Jon Castle, who she had only seen in brief instances before the wedding.
===Moving to Los Santos===
In December 2020, Jessica's father was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Distraught and unhappy with the medical care that they could find in Liberty City, Jessica moved with her family to Los Santos where they had heard and believed better medical care could be found. While there, Jessica quickly found out that Jon Castle had also moved to Los Santos with most of his family and they began to become close friends while Jessica stayed out of work to care for her father.
Nathan Williams continued to get medical treatment while within Los Santos but eventually passed away in January 2022. Her friendship with Jon helped her get through the major points of grief, as they now had the shared issues of losing their fathers at a young age. After dealing with the majority of the major parts of her grief, Jessica and Jon both applied to become members of the Bolingbroke State Penitentiary Department of Corrections on March 13, 2022. They were both hired as cadets at Bolingbroke State Penitentiary on March 28, 2022.
=== Time at Bolingbroke===
Jess spent several months at Bolingbroke, going through a lot of trials and tribulations while also climbing quickly through the ranks until she was elected as Warden. Jess's time as Warden at Bolingbroke did not last a long time, as Jess began to hate being stuck within the prison and began to once again crave becoming a police officer, something she had been considering even while she ran for the Warden position. In the end, despite knowing it would be abandoning the lifers and guards that she had grown to love and care about, Jess made the decision to apply to PD. She was quickly interviewed and hired within a week of applying, much to her surprise as she knew the turnaround time was usually much longer.
=== First Time in PD===
After a long non-solo cadet phase, marred with difficulties both in personal life and confidence issues, Jess was made solo certified on September 25, 2022 after a long FTO session with Connor Stubble. She took on the x43 callsign once again as she had during her Corrections Officer days in additional remembrance for her father (who also had an x43 callsign before his passing.) Jess also participated in the academy held between October 15, 2022 and October 16, 2022. Jess finally was scheduled and able to complete her final on January 2, 2023 with Michael Pike as the FTI and is currently awaiting the results from her evaluation. Jess was then promoted to Full Peacekeeper on January 28, 2023 by Anita May during a Cerberus PD ceremony, where she then chose to take on callsign #352.
Kidnapping and Torture by Valko Yordanov
On October 23, 2022, Jess woke up at the Mirror Park house to discover signs of it being vandalized as well as a note in the mailbox pointing to Jess directly. SCU was contacted and Jess was advised that based off what was said and seen, that Jess was in danger from a potentially dangerous person who had also previously attacked another officer and a civilian. At the time, Minerva was out of the country visiting her family in Portugal, so Jess ended up staying for a few days with Eryn Carter and Alexander Blake until Minerva had returned. After Minerva returned from Portugal, Jess convinced Minerva to stay with her again instead at Jess's Grapeseed house as she did not want to stay with Eryn or Blake anymore since she missed Minerva while she was gone. On October 28, 2022 Jess was kidnapped by Valko Yordanov outside of her home in Grapeseed after she stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. 
Jess was held captive by Valko until November 6, 2022. During the time frame of her capture, Jess was held in a dark, frigid, concrete room. The only things in the room were a chair (to which Jess was chained to) and a mattress on the floor in the corner. Water droplets were continually dripping, especially in the area of the chair which resulted in Jess being tortured in a technique akin to Chinese water torture. Valko, who Jess only knew as "Oculus", kept her well fed and hydrated throughout the time that she was held captive and never physically harmed her besides keeping her chained (to which Jess spent many hours trying to break through the chains on her own which left her with bad scarring and bruising.) During the time that he had Jess in captivity, Valko only told Jess that she was being held due to causing him "more paperwork than needed" and later before he released her he apologized to her and said that she was "the stray bullet of my revenge against the reckless acts of the police department that made me lose both my parents".
Since being found, Jess seemed to be mostly normal until on November 9, 2022 it rained while Jess was on duty and she disassociated and had a panic attack when the rain began to touch her skin. With concern, Minerva reached out to Anita May and Anita reached out to Jess and encouraged her to go to therapy as she had gone through something similar a year prior and that she wasn't able to properly begin to manage her triggers until she had gone through to therapy. It was also agreed that despite Jess still being a solo cadet, until they were sure it was safe for her to be on duty alone that she could continue to ride with others.
Jess eventually did complete therapy with Quinn Naiper though quit therapy after New Years when after a particularly rough session Jess felt Quinn was more focused on the problems of others surrounding Jess than she did Jess herself and how to handle things on her own. She is still taking medication prescribed by Dr. Quinn to help with symptoms of PTSD. Jess is able to manage her PTSD on a livable level now, though she does still suffer from disassociation. Jess was finally promoted to full Peacekeeper after overcoming the struggles of learning how to manage her PTSD while being a solo cadet, and with no signs of activity from Valko, Jess has started to try and move on with her life.
Shortly before the PD restructure was announced, Jess began to consider transferring departments from the now once again PBSO to the VPD after corruption had reached it's peak and began to directly impact herself and Minerva Maat. When the restructure was announced and Jess was moved to the UPD pool, Jess listened to what PBSO was going to do for change and was unconvinced by their plans to change. Meanwhile, after talking with LSPD she learned of their strong stances against corruption, their desire to push good policework, and that they were trying to build a tight nit group that would have each other's backs and she placed her interest with the LSPD. However, it was not meant to be and Richard Dark informed Jess on April 26, 2023 that while LSPD as a whole really wanted to bring her on board, her continued employment was denied by the commissioner's office. Jess had her final shift on May 1, 2023 before she turned in her badge and gun. Jess was disheartened by the news and questioned her own abilities as a police officer, but made a vow to herself and those closest to her that she would not give up and would do her best to reapply and come back again in the future.
===Time in EMS===
After being denied by the commissioner's officer during the PD restructure to continue on as an officer within the police department, Jess immediately turned to the many friends she had made within the EMS, including Veronica Westfield, Charlotte Spade, and Ayub Elmi, to comment on potential interest in joining EMS. Within a few short hours after hearing that Jess would no longer have a job in PD, EMS were telling Jess that they were willing to set up an interview as soon as possible. That interview occurred on April 27th, 2023 where she was promptly hired on the spot and told that the interview was just for fun and that she had been approved for a spot within EMS before she had even had the interview. Jess was promoted to a solo trainee after a solo evaluation by Parker Gun on May 21, 2023. Two days later, however, Jess was hired by the PD and was subsequently blooded out by the EMS. Jess maintains that she appreciated the time she spent in EMS and everything she learned during the process and will continue to love and support the EMS who gave her a home.
===Second Time in PD===
Jessica was contacted by Sam Baas on May 21, 2023 and was asked to speak with him. When she spoke with him, he advised that she had been greenlit to be hired back into the PD; either she could get hired on as non-solo cadet within the Unified Police Department when a slot became available, or if Jess received an outright offer from a department she was free to take that. On May 23, 2023, Sergeant Jerry Sweets reached out to Jess and asked her to meet him at Mission Row Police Department. When she arrived, he escorted her up to the rooftop where she was greeted by Aaron Byson, Dwayne Carter, and Bryan Davids. Byson, Carter, and Sweets all expressed how deeply they had wanted Jess in LSPD during the process of the restructure and that they were more than happy to offer her a position as a full officer within LSPD, which Jess accepted enthusiastically. Jess took on the former callsign of her best friend, Eryn Carter, taking the callsign 452 to call for herself.
Since her return to PD, Jess has continued to thrive. She has worked hard to cement herself in the department and became a Field Training Officer on August 23, 2023 after going through over a month of training. Jess also became a probationary detective for the Major Crimes Unit on September 22, 2023. On an important milestone for Jess, on November 2, 2023 Jess was promoted to Officer First Class, which for Jess was a massive moment as it showed that LSPD was not counting her time away from PD against her as the rank was based off tenure which she would not have been able to make it to that rank if they were going based off the date she was rehired into the PD. Jess also interviewed for the K9 unit on November 9, 2023 and is waiting to hear back if she was chosen to train as a handler.
On November 20, 2023, Jess's life was turned upside down as she saw that there was a case being formed against Minerva Maat. On November 21st, Minerva had been brought into interrogation with accusations of accessory to drug trafficking and cultivation due to her being a messenger between Cuddles Fish and Sergeant Neil McReal for a grow op of weed at the University by the Goons. A trial occurred on December 7, 2023 where Minerva was found not guilty of all charges. Despite being found not guilty, the prosecutors continued to attempt to destroy Minerva's reputation and Jess and Minerva both felt like the police department was not a safe play to continue to be in for the time being with people still actively trying to harm her.
Minerva and Jess began to discuss the idea of taking a vacation away from Los Santos in order to try and figure out what they next wanted to do with their lives together. It is currently undecided on if they will ever return to work for the police department in Los Santos.
