Jessica Keynes

* Jess
* Eagle

**Jessica Keynes**, most commonly known as "**Jess**", is a student at Armstrong High School. She is also a superhero in the United States of America and Knightowl's partner and daughter.

She was initially known as **Sparrow**, being the latest in a line of teacher and student who have worn the masks of the legendary hero duo, Knightowl and Sparrow.

After she recovered the Eagle Miraculous from Miraclonizer, she used it to free the American superheroes from the Miraculous' power. Ladybug allowed her to keep the Eagle Miraculous, believing it would be in good hands. When the talon pendant is inhabited by Liiri, Jess transforms into the super-heroine **Eagle**, gaining the power of freedom.

It is unknown if she will continue to become Sparrow.

### Physical appearance

Jess is a girl of medium height with black hair and grey eyes. She is of Native American ethnicity and wears her hair in traditional leather-bound side braids.

### Civilian attire

She wears traditional disc earrings with red, blue and white decorations. She also wears a white long sleeved shirt with a blue triangle pattern on the front and red sleeves, as well as jeans and brown shoes.

### As Sparrow

Sparrow has a dark gray mask, with a voice modulator so that she can hide her true gender, covering her face, with the top of the mask being dark brown. Over her mask, she wears goggles with gray straps and circular red lenses. She also wears a brown hooded jacket. The hood is worn over her head, and it's designed after the head of a sparrow, having a dark gray beak, white markings on its forehead and the sides, and an eye with a dark brown pupil.

### As Eagle

When transformed into Eagle with the assistance of Liiri, Jessica's costume strongly reflects her native American heritage. It is a two-piece brown-and-grey costume with reddish brownish black gloves and light brilliant orange/pale, light grayish gamboge boots with a hint of gold. The sleeves of the tunic end with white cored black tassels intended to resemble eagle feathers and have s distinctive light grey eye mask with a yellow beaked nose guard.

The transformation also alters Jessica's traditional disc earrings into more elaborate gold-and-blue decorations with dangling gold-and-blue eagle feather charms.

## Personality

Sparrow is witty and supportive. Some instances make her exasperated when others are confused, but she supplies any information they need.

In the New York special, Jessica has a strong desire to prove herself as a hero sometimes leading her to being disobedient towards her superiors. She also enjoys helping others just as helping Adrien and Marinette admit their feelings. Like her mother she can be a bit judgemental as she overestimated Ladybug and Cat Noir. Jessica is also quite reasonable and acceptable when needing help from others.

As Eagle, most of her personality remains the same and Jessica was able to adapt quickly to her new powers.

## Abilities

### As a Civilian

Jess is as skilled as Luka Couffaine when it comes to playing the guitar. She is also skilled at skateboarding.

### As Sparrow

Sparrow is physically fit, having enough stamina and skill to keep up with Ladybug and Cat Noir while they're running and to jump from edge to edge down a huge crack in the ground. She also possesses Boomerangs which she can use to throw at her enemies and is able to fly with a wingpack.

### As Eagle

When transformed into Eagle, Jess possesses enhanced strength, speed and agility. She is also given the power to use Liberation, which allows her to either free a person from their self-imposed limitations (being them mental or emotional). She can also nullifying its effect.

She also possesses a Bullroarer as her special weapon.

## Relationships

### Barbara Keynes/Knightowl

Sparrow and Knightowl are partners, but Sparrow is seen as a sidekick by Knightowl, which she doesn't appreciate much, mainly when Knightowl doesn't give her the possibility of being her own superhero and give her missions that seem to be not very important.

It is revealed that Knightowl is Jess' mother, Barbara Keynes. Like Chloe, she had a strong desire to prove herself to her mother sometimes leading her to disobey orders. But upon seeing her mother and adult heroes run wild because of Miracolizer and Hawk Moth, Jessica as Sparrow came determined to save her, by using the Eagle Miraculous she returned the adults back to normal. After Miraclonizer's defeat and reunion with her mother Jessica looked disappointed, expecting another scalding about disobeying, and was surprised by her mother's recognition about becoming a fully fledged hero and happily embraced her.

### Ladybug and Cat Noir

Sparrow gets along okay with Ladybug and Cat Noir, liking their ideas and teasing them. In one case, she facepalms at them when they are confused by President Camilla Hombee revealing her secret identity. She relates to an unknown degree to their frustration with the way others see them as well. When Knightowl insults Cat Noir, Sparrow tries to cheer him up by pointing she is viewed the same way by Knightowl, but unlike Cat Noir, she "doesn't have a cute partner". Later, when Knightowl dismisses Ladybug's plan to stop the Trash Krakken, Sparrow sticks up for her and points out that her plan is far less destructive and more sensible than Knightowl's.

During the New York special, as she heard of the French heroes Jess greatly admired them for their independence. Despite seeing that they didn't do well with first impressions and with their fight with Technolizer ending with Aeon's accidental destruction and yet being repaired, she jumped to their defense when scorned by Knightowl. The trouble with Hawk Moth escalated when he akumatized Techno-Pirate again into Miracolizer which caused the adult heroes to run wild, and upon Aeon's reasoning she realized they needed the French duo's help. She worked well along side them and upon retrieving the Eagle Miraculous from Ladybug, Jess was able to return the adult heroes to normal and stop the titular villain. With the mission over, she attempted to return the jewel back to Ladybug but seeing her bravery and courage she was entrusted by the heroine to keep it knowing it will be safe and used wisely.

### Aeon/Uncanny Valley

Jessica is extremely close to her best friend, treating her, like Majestia, as more than just a machine. The two are always paired together as their alter egos, during the fight against Techlonizer she was completely horrified when Cat Noir accidentally destroyed her with his powers, but grateful that she was fixed. But upon finding out that Hawk Moth was in New York and that he's responsible for what's been going on in the city, she listened to Aeon's reasoning of needing Ladybug and Cat Noir's help.

### Monk

When Jessica met the guardian, he wanted her to return the lost Eagle Miraculous to him. However after she asked him about the possibility of teaming up and bringing together a new team of Miraculous holders in New York, which seemed to interest him.
