## Appearance

Jessica is a tall, pretty-looking, tan-skinned Latina teenager with a slim voluptuous built, with rosy cheeks, olive-brown eyes, long, wavy brown hair with olive-brown highlights, and maroon lips.

As a civilian, Jessica's clothing dons a color scheme that are mostly shades of green; a green beanie hat on her head, and a set of pale green hoop-earrings. She wears mid-sleeved, slightly dark green off-the-shoulder crop-top over a light green tank top, a long green skirt with a pattern of the Green Lantern Logo around the hem, and a pair of simple green flats. She also wears her Power Ring on her finger in her right hand.

As Green Lantern, her body and eyes emit a green aura, she has the Green lantern Logo on her right eye. In addition, her hair sports bright green highlights, and her superhero attire is the traditional Green Lantern uniform.

## Personality

Jessica is a pacifist who is initially reluctant to become a Green Lantern. She actively refuses to physically hit anyone, except for Hal Jordan. She also refuses to accept the idea that her pacifistic ways may not always work. She is also an environmentalist and a vegan with a penchant for being overbearingly persistent, which can be a real problem at times. She seems to be somewhat arrogant and dismissive. She is also an activist. However, what she lacks in violence she makes up for her kindness for her friends. Despite her passive-aggressiveness to those who don’t listen to her, she is an easy-going, kind person who believes everyone needs a friend, and there's no such thing as a lost cause.
