Jessie is one of the three members of Team Rocket. Her two other teammates are James and Meowth.
Alongside James and Meowth, she set her sights on the injured Pokémon in the Viridian Pokémon Center. Sending out their Ekans and Koffing from their Meowth balloon, they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had three people inside. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, Ash's Pikachu, who teamed up with many other Pikachu in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that Team Rocket decided to capture Pikachu, deeming him as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, and made it their goal to capture him.
Jessie's mother, Miyamoto, was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of five, Miyamoto left on a mission to the Andes to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon Mew. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of food.

== Trivia ==
* Jessie's and James' English names are derived from the notable outlaw Jesse James.
** Jessie's name is sometimes misspelled as Jesse. This is possibly a reference to this origin. The original American website for the franchise used this spelling, though the spelling with the "I" is now generally considered to be official.
* In "Plant It Now... Diglett Later", an old woman says to Jessie that she is 120 years old and Jessie says that's 10 times her age, meaning that she is only 12 years old. Because Jessie and James are described as idiotic, it could just be bad math on her part, or a typical case of a vain woman claiming to be younger than she really is, which would be within Jessie's character.
* A running gag of the series is that Jessie is almost always the male when she and James disguise themselves as a couple.
* In some scenes, Jessie is seen without lipstick. Most of these scenes were animation mistakes only seen in a couple of frames, but a few instances were intentional, such as the depictions of her as a child and when she was working out at the gym.
* Despite Jessie and James being major characters throughout the anime and manga, they have only appeared in the first Generation games.
* Jessie is the only female main character to appear in all generations of the anime. Other characters Misty only appeared as a main character in at most 3 generations. Additionally, she has appeared along with James and Meowth in all twenty movies.
* The official Cartoon Network site for Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies had a typo for Jessie that did not have an "I" included in the character selection on the Title Header.
* Out of her teammates, Jessie has the biggest appetite, as revealed in Choose it or Lose it, Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine, Doc Brock, and An Egg Scramble.
* Jessie's hair was originally a pinkish shade of magenta that was sometimes switched with a reddish shade of magenta. In "Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid" in Pokémon Johto Journeys, her hair became a purplish shade of magenta. A similar color change also happened to James' hair.
* In Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One, Jessie and James both imply that they are 25. However, the dialogue mentioning this was changed in the English dub, leaving this unmentioned.
** This might have been caused by the change in medium when the series switched from hand-drawn to digital animation.
* Jessie bears a striking resemblance to Jessebelle and James' mother. This fact was commented on in "Holy Matrimony!".
* Jessie's past contrasts James's past as she grew up poor and neglected while James grew up rich and emotionally abused.
