## History

### Early Life

Jenell Jansen born as Jessica Jones lived in the New York area with her parents and younger brother. She was interested in watching people; she even kept a diary of her observations. During a family car trip, an argument between her and her brother over a Gameboy distracted Brian Jones, who was driving, long enough for the car to rear-end the truck in front of them, resulting in a crash that killed everyone else in the car.

She fell into a coma, and her medical bills paid by a mysterious group called IGH. She was formally adopted by Dorothy Walker as part of an extended publicity stunt to further the career of her daughter, Patricia Walker, who was the star of a well-received television show called "It's Patsy!" Jessica did not get along with Dorothy, but developed a grudging respect for Patricia, or Trish, especially after she agreed to keep the secret that Jessica had developed superhuman strength after the accident. When Jessica caught Dorothy trying to make her daughter regurgitate a pizza, Jessica angrily thrust Dorothy away and convinced Trish to emancipate herself.

### Alias

Years later, Jessica struggled through a career of boring jobs with difficult managers, where her innate investigative abilities made her few friends. Trish tried to convince her to take up superheroics, but Jessica settled into a habit of saving people on a small scale in her normal clothes.

Jessica acquired a license as a private investigator in the state of New York. Despite being headhunted by Jeryn Hogarth, a partner at Hogarth, Chao and Benowitz, she chose to remain freelance, opening an office under the business name **Alias Investigations**.

### Joining Hydra

The goverment was taken over by Hydra in 2014 and while Jessica had been running her own business for some time it was clear that Hydra did not want anyone else doing their job for them. In this time the Germanization Act had also been passed meaning that Jones had to change name to Jenell Jansen.

Her sister Trisha Gehen was an employee of Hydra working as a host for Hydra Radio, through Trisha it was made clear to Jenell that Hydra was looking for a new member of their investigation team. Jansen then joined Hydra and rebranded her business as Hydra Investigations New York.
